Drama / Egotistical ass holes

« on: September 04, 2009, 09:08:19 PM »

I don't care what you assume about me because your not me and don't know me. You should not post on the forums if you need to insult everyones slight flaws to stroke your own ego. I've noticed it every day on the forums and I finally started talking about it. Putting people down for being differet or new to blockland shows how shallow you are. And all you people agreeing with the ass holes because you want to "fit in" should leave. forget you and your judgemental comments, just keep them to yourself.

Modification Help / Bullets wont fire straight ahead

« on: August 06, 2009, 11:39:15 AM »

I want to mak it so my gun will shoot 8 projectiles in a horisontal line when charged and fired, it shoots horisantally but all the bullets fire to the right of my screen instead of straight. What have i done wrong?

Code: [Select]

function wcbImage::onchargeFire(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
if((%obj.lastFireTime+%this.minShotTime) > getSimTime())
return;
%obj.lastFireTime = getSimTime();
     
%obj.setVelocity(VectorAdd(%obj.getVelocity(),VectorScale(%obj.client.player.getEyeVector(),"-3")));
%obj.playThread(2, shiftAway);

%projectile = %this.projectile;
%spread = 0.0025;
%shellcount = 8;

for(%shell=0; %shell<%shellcount; %shell++)
{
%vector = %obj.getMuzzleVector(%slot);
%objectVelocity = %obj.getVelocity();
%vector1 = VectorScale(%vector, %projectile.muzzleVelocity);
%vector2 = VectorScale(%objectVelocity, %projectile.velInheritFactor);
%velocity = VectorAdd(%vector1,%vector2);
%x = (getRandom() - 1.0) * 20 * 5 * %spread;
%y = (getRandom() - 0.0) * 0 * 0 * %spread;
%z = (getRandom() - 0.0) * 0 * 0 * %spread;
%mat = MatrixCreateFromEuler(%x @ " " @ %y @ " " @ %z);
%velocity = MatrixMulVector(%mat, %velocity);

%p = new (%this.projectileType)()
{
dataBlock = %projectile;
initialVelocity = %velocity;
initialPosition = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
sourceObject = %obj;
sourceSlot = %slot;
client = %obj.client;
};
MissionCleanup.add(%p);
}
return %p;
}

Modification Help / Lego Weapons Pack

« on: August 02, 2009, 05:31:52 PM »

Ive decided to create a pack of weapons that are based off of lego (of course). Help is welcome and I will explain how you can help further down. Pictures may be added at random.

Current projects: X= not finished  *= in progress  ☺= finished
LEGO star wars weapons * 68%- Expected to be done some thime next week
LEGO indiana jones weapons X
LEGO batman weapons X
LEGO knights weapons X
LEGO pirates weapons X
LEGO power miners weapons X
LEGO city and other weapons X

The Team: (just me so far)
Dalek

Help
You can help by sending ms3d files of lego weapons, dont worry about anything exept the model, i will do the rest. If you are going to send me models from any other program, then send me the .dts file and a picture of the model, you will be given credit for what you did and added to the team.

Other Info:
I do not have my port forwarded because my pc is being a bitch, so if a trusted member and part of the team offers to open the beta testing server then it would be nice.

Modification Help / .blb files

« on: August 02, 2009, 02:39:56 PM »

Im looking through blockland files like crazy so i can learn as much as i can before my torque showtool pro trial runs out. I am currently learning how to make doors, but the .blb files dont make sense to me. If i wanted to create a new size brick, how will this affect what i need to do with the top, bottom, north, south, east, west, and omni quads?
