Modification Help / Re: Making vehicle, vehicle crashes the game.
« on: March 13, 2011, 11:55:02 AM »It is mount0.I thought so.
I'll try the LODs.
Still nothing.
Can you post the script?

« on: March 13, 2011, 11:46:31 AM »What.I was talking about how he wanted to have a full circle in theta degrees, which is not advisable. Sorry for the confusion.
All he was trying to do up until the post I just quoted was to get it spin in the way he wanted. I just gave him the code for mounting particle effects to the player.

You could also increase damage as a direct result of time.

Modification Help / Re: Emitter problems?
« on: March 13, 2011, 11:24:49 AM »Yea but i'm using it as an emitter mounted to the player's hand, like a light ring around the player's hand.There is no way to do this in the manner that you were doing.
I didn't fully understand Iban's post, but you will probably have to set the emitter direction in the scripts.

The joint is named mount0, correct?
If not, change it.
If so, then the problem might be with the mesh LODs
Try setting them to 16 instead of 0, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it wouldn't be causing the problem.

« on: March 13, 2011, 10:03:11 AM »Other than remove the links, I renamed barrel100 to muzzlePoint. That's it.Try re-assigning your joints to the meshes.
Then run the animations in Milkshape and report on what happened.

« on: March 13, 2011, 09:48:57 AM »Is it possible?I'm pretty sure.
You can do that sort of thing with vehicles and passengers. One sec
Edit: Yndaa ftw
Edit again-
Looking into the script i found the camera look angle codeCode: [Select]uiName = "Jeep ";
rideable = true;
lookUpLimit = 0.00;
lookDownLimit = 0.00;
ive already changed mine but you change the value of look up and down limit to whatever angle you want it, when set at 0.00 and 0.00 the player laid flat with his legs, change it to whatever angles you want it locked on such as .50 .50 to stay still or .50 .0 and it should beable to sit up straight or look down all the way.

The design is great, but the tower is too fat, and not circular enough, and too empty on the inside.
I think you should have put more effort into this.

Modification Help / Re: Emitter problems?
« on: March 13, 2011, 09:00:18 AM »
After doing some tests, I believe I have found a solution and an explanation.
You see, there is really no way to make the emitter make a sideways circle with the emitter brick facing up. This may be a bit confusing, but Theta degrees do not run all the way to 360.
Let me explain: Phi units go up from 0 to 360. In a three dimensional space where you are looking along the X-Axis, phi units control and rotate around the Y-Axis. Theoretically, you should not be able to see the phi units from the X-Axis, but it might be easier to think of it ass you just seeing a line. Theta degrees control part rotation around the X-Axis. What I mean by part rotation is this: Theta degrees only go up to 180 degrees. Any value above 180 will return a single line in the console and work as 180 anyway. Think of phi and theta like how the Blockhead moves. He can turn one direction and eventually end up where he started, while he cannot look down and eventually come back to where he started without changing direction.
Now to the actual fix. There is really no great way to spawn an emitter so that you can see it all from your position on the X-Axis, when the emitter direction is 'up'. Instead, a ring should be made with phi units and then rotated whatever direction using Blockland's built-in method. In fact, the way you were doing it would have eventually failed, because when you try to make it point north it would point down or somewhere else. Picture is below
And the winning script is:
One final note:
I have absolutely no idea as to why setting the values within the console would suddenly cause it to work. As I just showed, your entire method was wrong. So why would setting the thetamax value to a number it already is, and that number being redundant, fix anything at all?

Well, you don't really need the dump or the .cs, but they shouldn't mess anything up... And you don't need to create bounds, just apply and export.
It's most likely something with the actual model, instead of the exporting.
Can you show a pic?
