Suggestions & Requests / Guns of Icarus gamemode

« on: March 04, 2016, 10:27:21 AM »

be cool if someone made a vehicle pack of airships from guns of icarus and made each indivual part of it, like the balloon and the engine, turrets etc a separate group/node that has its own damage counter that controls things such as height and speed, etc.

here's an example of the style of turret i was going to use

Missile Turret (View in 3D)


there would be two teams with two sections on each, and each section gets a captain chosen randomly who can select what type of balloon and what loadouts it would use

Modification Help / !() vs != (and $= " ")

« on: March 02, 2016, 03:14:24 PM »

1) This has been bothering me for a while now.

Code: [Select]

if(%string != "test")

Code: [Select]

if(!(%string $= "test"))
Which of the two is the better option in terms of readability, syntax or function?


2) Occasionally, when I'm running through and checking values of objects, I will hit odd results on this:

Code: [Select]

new ScriptObject(TestObjectA)
{
   Class = "TestClass";
   Name = "Test Object A";
   ValueImLookingFor = true;
}

new ScriptObject(TestObjectB)
{
   Class = "TestClass";
   Name = "Test Object B";
   // Intentionally leaving out ValueImLookingFor
}

Function TestClass::valueimlookingfor(%this)
{
    Return x ? Y : something I forgot the format
}

//leaving out packaging for sake of space
Function TestClass::doSomething(%this)
{
   If(%this.valueimlookingfor())
    //continue code
}
Regardless of the code errors that I intentionally put in there, is it safer to do %this.valueimlookingfor $= " " to check for objects that are under the same class as TestOBjectA but are missing that specific assigned value, or run a separate function to return true or false based on the variable's value or absence.

Help / Fatal ISV on Mac Air: cannot write to database

« on: February 11, 2016, 02:01:28 PM »

My blockland was working perfectly fine yesterday. Now all of the sudden it cannot even start, it will struggle to even start the launching process, showing a white screen, and before it can even load up the files, it will give an error:

Fatal-ISV: (/Users/erichartman/dev/Blockland/trunk/premake/BlocklandLuancher/../../engine/launcher/launcher.cc @ 190)

no URL setin game manifest!



Please don't criticize me for using a mac, i'm here to get my blockland fixed, not for you to shame me for using a computer.

Does anybody know a method to get blockland working after this?

Off Topic / I built a cross for my deceased grandmother

« on: February 07, 2016, 01:05:22 PM »

So my grandmother passed away a couple months ago. I visited her grave with my grandfather last week and we noticed that it was lacking of an official marker, so we decided to build one quickly.

I did the fancy writing on it and a bit of the sanding, and I feel somewhat proud.

Off Topic / My plumbing just broke

« on: January 30, 2016, 11:48:04 PM »

Long story short, I had to travel up to northern canada to maintain my grandfather's cottage a bit so that it would be functional for the summer so we can rent it out. I just got here yesterday, and the pipes loving burst. To make things worse, I have an overlapping fever cold and I really need to take a stuff. It's super cold right now, there's literally no lights outside and it's a loving winter wonderland out there.

I have two options: Hold in my stuff and wait for a rescue chopper, or stuff in the pitch black snow outside.

What do you guys suggest? It's a loving life or death situation here and I need some outside suggestions.

How can I incorporate the activate-using-paint [e] button into Armor::onTrigger? There is no allocated slot for it already.

Also side note, what is the default range of activating/clicking on objects/bricks?

Modification Help / Adding items to player's inventory

« on: January 20, 2016, 05:35:29 PM »

For some reason adding items is such a pain in the ass. I've been doing this:

%player.tool[0] = nametoId(GunImage); and nothing happens. It never updates, never adds to inventory. I don't understand why. What am I forgetting.
