Help / Prints change when a print brick is duplicated

« on: March 31, 2012, 07:54:14 AM »

When i duplicate print bricks/plates, the print of the newly duplicated brick gets set to the first print in my print list.

I have had this problem for a long time now.  It only seems to occur on non-default print bricks, that being the only bricks that this does not occur is the default 1x1 and ramps.  I concluded that this must be a scripting issue in the non-default print bricks instead of any problems with my game reqistering the print upon duplication.

Has anyone figured out how to fix this if they have had it before?  or are willing to do so?

I will take a look at the scripts myself to see if I can see any makor differences, although I have little script knowledge beyond deleting the "Press L to exit camera mode" for the setasplayercamera.


The other issue i have with print bricks/plates is sometimes, when printing numbers, I am unable to print a 1, 2, or 3 on the brick by typing the 1, 2, or 3.  I then have to click on the 1, 2, or 3 icon under the letter category to print it.  With the same numbers, sometimes when I load a save and the bricks are finished ghosting, any print bricks that I have printed with a 1, 2, or 3 don't have a 1, 2, or 3 on them anymore.  Instead, the bricks have a tile print on them.  I have had this issue for a long time but i can still remember not having it. Also, it comes and goes.  Sometimes when I host my server, this occurs, sometimes it doesn't.

Suggestions & Requests / New item/weapon-TV remote

« on: March 11, 2012, 12:09:58 AM »

Yes, a simple TV remote.  But not just a prop, no, but one that could do events.  Things could be done by giving the remote a single-shot/click' invisible/really small, no damage-causing projectile that starts the events with 'onprojectilehit'.  Very simple and yet, very useful.  This could also be used as garage door openers.

Suggestions & Requests / New Item Suggestion: Vehicle Key

A key tool that looks like a car key that comes with events to trigger events-say if you want to lock/unlock a car with a key.

Suggestions & Requests / Request:Cell Phone Mod Update

« on: March 09, 2012, 11:12:40 PM »

The cell phone mod is one of my favorite mods because it is a good idea, it is simplistic, and it is very useful.  I would have put this into that topic, but it was too old.  I am requesting to see if anyone could do some more scripting on it so that the /call brick function could be used on a single brick, instead of on every brick with the oncalled event.  This could be used for landlines.

Suggestions & Requests / New Grapple Rope Function-Increase/Decrease Hight

« on: March 03, 2012, 08:43:07 PM »

So everyone's probably thought of this but no one has ever made it.

We have the Grapple rope- it's great for swinging and its really fun-and we have the hookshot- It's ok, not my favorite, it's too easy to die with and it only goes straight- so what if we combine the two?

Well almost what I want, but with the ability to control your hight on it.  You could shoot at the ceiling then press some keybinds to go up or go down-like in spy movies.

Making a different model but keeping the same scripting with some additions would be the best way to make this.

Discuss and possibly create.

General Discussion / Standardized Server Labels

« on: March 03, 2012, 12:17:37 PM »

Anyone else think we need some sort of system of organizing servers?  This isn't a request or suggestion, it's just a thought im putting out there.  I'm tired of going into a server that said something like "Russian War ..." Have it cut off due to text amount limitations on the default unexpanded window size, and it ends up being "Russian War RP" instead of what i thought was a TDM.

I'm saying that a Blocklander-started system should be developed that starts the server name with RP, TDM, DM, etc then follows with the server name, instead of ending the name with RP, TDM, DM so as to reduce confusion.

Better yet, in the next Blockland update, have an input option in the server menu where you can enter the type of server it is, RP, TDM, DM, and that shows up to the left of the server's host's name.

Either system would work, the acronyms would be as follows

TDM- Team death match (duh)
DM- Death match
RP- Role Play for rp's that you 'pretend', like Family RP
RPG- Role Playing Game for City RPG type games
CO- Co-Op games like for Zombies or Firefight games

Those are all of the over-all game types i can think of.

Obvious what is wanted by the title.

If you could tie this in with one of the the oxygen mods, that would be awesome.

Suggestions & Requests / New Function For VCE-Sets

« on: March 01, 2012, 10:39:20 PM »

So I'm takin a dump shortly after doing a lot of events for my City RP's Time system.  I then thought up an awesome function that would be very useful-variable sets.

Take, for example, part of the events for my RP Time.  In it, i have events that add 1 to the variable TimeMin every quarter second.  When TimeMin=60, it adds 1 to TimeHour and resets TimeMin-you get what im doing.  This is where variable sets come in.

i made a clock to display the time onactivate.  i also wanted to show the date in a February 27, 2012 form.  whenever 1 was added to TimeMonth, ifvariables would modify TimeMonthDisplay to be 1=January, 2= February, and so on. 

i thought that variable sets could be used in a similar fasion.

Onactivate-client-vceifvariable-TimeMonth == {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} [1 1]

onvariabletrue-client-modvariable-TimeMonthDisplay-set-{January, February, march, april, may, june, july, august, september, october, november, december}

Sorry for stuffty event format but its my shorthand version.

so basically, what this does is if you have an ifvariable with a Set, as defined by { and }, it check each individual value in the set, then modify the value in the modvariable setwith the same placement.

hope the next vce update could have this because it could have many uses

tell me if this is already made.

Gallery / Sunrise Islands RPG

« on: February 25, 2012, 12:11:44 AM »

Created my Gen. Hothauser (Blocky999) with help from Dead Bones




Password is "Sunrise Island".  I did this because too many people thought this was either an island survival or a family RP.




Tropical Island RP is a City RP on an island.  I am not using a City RP mod, I'm making up my own mod using events.  Everything with the events is almost done, all that is needed is to plug in the times for Payment and Promotions into the Jobs so that they work with my Time System.  The reasons I went with events are that I have no scripting knowledge what so ever, I wanted a challenge where I had to think, and I didn't like any of the mods that people had made, something was always wrong or missing from all of the mods.




Currently, only a handful of jobs/joblines* have been made.  They are listed below.  I will take any serious suggestions.

--Joblines--
-Banker
  -Guard
  -Secretary
  -Bank Aide
  -Bank Loaner
  -Banker
-Police
  -Desk Jockey
  -Field Cop
  -Detective
  -Police Chief
  -District Administrator
-Stoner
  -Addict
  -Stoner
  -Pothead
  -Dealer

  -Principle
  -Headmaster
-Assassin
  -Recon
  -Self Delete Bomber
  -Underling
  -Wingman
  -Assassin
-Gangster
  -Recruit
  -Pawn
  -Underling
  -Gangster
  -Higherarchy

--Jobs--
-Local
-Tourist
-Homeless

--To be made--

--Jobline--
-Chef
-Businessman
-Musician
-Pilot

--Jobs--
-Sanitary Mainenance Engineer (garbage man)
-Taxi/bus driver driver

Again, if you can give me any other ideas, feel free to share

*Joblines are career paths




Just a few pictures to count this as gallery.  They are all old pictures with bad quality picture res.  I'll take newer ones with Megapic, or whatever it is called.


Picture of the Ruin Island-50 years ago, settlers tried to make a home there but the Volcano god wouldn't allow it.  The old Light House is still standing as well.


O ya, nice bikes.  This is a part of Town Square


The Ruin Strait Bridge connects New Town Island to Ruin island.  It crosses Ruin Strait, thus the name.


The Residential Island will hold all of the houses that people make.  It is currently blank.


The Old Lighthouse.  It is rusted, the doors don't work, and the light won't turn on.


The New Lighthouse.  Not much else to say.


The new hotel being built on the residential island.


The design for the new hotel


Residential island now-I added more blocks in my fractal style to smooth it out.


Updated Info center.  It has three guides that tell about the Volcano Island's Myths, History, and Activities.


Update Lighthouse mound so it doesn't look like dog stuff.


My start at making an easter island head that will be located all around the volcano island.


Inside the Volcano.  Oh look, at lever.  I wonder what it could possibly be for.

Help / My evented Client City RP Time system isnt working

« on: February 23, 2012, 06:34:18 PM »

I am making a City RP "mod" that I will use in all of my City RP variations and everything is complete except the functions that rely on a time system, i.e. job promotions, pay, renting, etc...  I have supplied some pictures of the events.  The first three pics are of the Time brick which is where the functions happen.  The four pic is of the job aciton button which you click to become a job, this starts your clock for promotions and what not-the only important event in that is the last event for dosub to the Time brick.  The fifth pic is of a "checker" brick's events so that i can see what my time is.  It is supposed to state on activate

 "February 21, 1996
    10:32 am"

The little bit of variable typing on there is visible, i didnt think the whole thing was necessary.

Basically the only proof of error i have is that when i click the checker brick, all that is shown is

",
 :"
so all of the <var:cl:blah> stuff isnt shown, which means to me that the variables are being modified in the Time brick's events

I havent posted pictures in a while so if this doesnt work, then ill post them in the following post.

Help / Help, need to know how to post a brick's events to the forums

« on: February 23, 2012, 05:22:15 PM »

I haven't been able to figure out how to take a picture of or find the events from a file like I've been told.  I'm having trouble with a long event strain and don't feel like typing them all out.  I've seen pictures and what not on here before.
