Help / Locking doors

« on: July 03, 2011, 02:32:42 PM »

Can someone please tell me how to set the jvs doors so they are only accessible to a player who meets a certain variable? I am building a store in my city and have an employee only area, but can't figure out which event will make it so that if they aren't an employee they can't get in.

Suggestions & Requests / New event idea(s)

« on: June 24, 2011, 03:22:49 AM »

So I was just sitting there playing my favorite game(Blockland of course), Spawning a vehicle to drive around my map, when it hit me...is it possible to event vehicles? If someone were to model wheels like in the old lego sets, then just make an event like onactivate>self>changedatablock>vehicle or something like that. This could work with cars, trains, aircraft. You would just have to change the base of the intended vehicle to be a vehicle, and all attached blocks would just go for the ride.

Only one problem...I can't script. Don't Have a clue what I'm doing. So, If anyone that DOES know scripting is interested, this could be the next major thing in blockland. It would eliminate the need for vehicle spawns in some builds, and add to the creativity of others. So, what is the community feeling on this?

Mapping Help / Problem with grass showing up

« on: June 23, 2011, 12:15:30 PM »

Ok, so I recently started working with the mission editor. Basically just wanted to experiment and mess around without investing a lot of time. I'm making maps mainly for myself and a few friends.

So, my problem is that when I lay down a texture, like sand or dirt, the grass shows through when you get close. I thought I had found the solution on another thread, but its not working. Can somebody help me please?
this is where I thought I found the solution....but it isn't working...

Modification Help / folders not working out

« on: June 11, 2011, 09:42:56 AM »

So im learning coding, following some tutorials. However, every time I make a folder in addons it does not load in game. This was also a problem when i was working with map building, trying to save to the folder i created but it was not available. Has anyone else had this issue? How can i fix this? I have DL'd many addons and they all show up, so i dont know if its just the package or what. Thanks for any help.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Football uniforms and directed lighting

« on: June 11, 2011, 05:31:27 AM »

I was thinking different colors for uniforms, but more along the lines of helmet/shoulder pads. Decals aren't really needed if we can get several different colors, teams could be clans, each clan could DL the stadium and change the Block O I have in the middle to their clan logo, and change the lettering in the endzone to say their team name. Away team could wear white and home team would be their clan color.

Update: I have started coloring the stands and adding lighting for nighttime games!
Would like to get a blocko league started this fall if anyone is interested. More to come, also posted in suggestions and requests about some help needed.

Suggestions & Requests / Football uniforms and directed lighting

« on: June 11, 2011, 05:11:34 AM »

I am working on a stadium, posted some pics in the gallery if anyone wants to see. What I was wondering is if I could get some help making some uniforms for the player character to wear, maybe a mini game to go along. I wanted to start a blocko football league this fall, once I am done with my stadium I am planning on releasing it as a DL, and teams can change the letters on the field/colors/ ect. to match their team. Also I was wondering about whether or not there is a way to make the lighting more directed at a point. I have lights for nighttime, and they light up the whole field, however they also light areas where there should be shadows. Any help on these topics is greatly appriciated.

Thanks everyone! I am going to finish it, it is a great hobby over here. I am planning on matching the colors up right after I finish the building part. It has about 73000 bricks so far and should be close to 100000 when complete.

I began a project last December, to build a stadium resembling the famed "Horse Shoe" that the Buckeyes play in. I wound up being deployed to Iraq in January and haven't had a lot of time to work on it. This is what I have so far, it is about 75% complete, I still need to add some stairways, finish the broadcast suites, and build the places up under the bleachers. I would like some critique and suggestions before it is complete. Here are some pics, and when it is completely done I would like to offer it as a DL to anyone who wants it to mess around with, change the field to a different team, ect.

I am kinda new still at the whole building city stuff, so the tower was kinda an experiment to just see what i could do and just have a little fun building. The stadium is my WIP that I'd like to complete in the next month or so. It already has over 12000 bricks and still have a lot to go, prob wind up well over 100000 when all is said and done. I can work on the New Yorks Giants stadium if you'd like, maybe i should start a clan for stadium builds. lol
