Even if you are glued to your phone and blasting music in your ear you should be able to afford yourself a glance of what's ahead every so often. Death is a sad thing that nobody deserves, but it is indeed entirely his fault: Fail to look around every once-in-a-while -> get hit by a train.

Use a for loop to put values into a string, separated by either SPC or TAB (TAB is better for things like position or vectors). Then use %blah=getWord(SPC list,#) or %blah=getField(TAB list,#) to get those values back out of the string.

OR

Use arrays.

As you get closer to a planet you see the landscape in more detail? (basic color -> land/ocean -> terrain..)

You might have trouble when updating the wire's slack / position if you don't use ParticleEmitterNode.inspectPo stApply(); afterwards

I may as well dump a bit of info here now that Iban is gone:

Conditionals:
A little-known technique for doing quick if-checks

Code: [Select]

(<condition> ? <if true> : <if false>)
examples:
%client.chatMessage("You have" SPC %client.clamCount SPC (%client.clamCount>1 ? "clams" : "clam"));
%blah=(%use==false ? true : %use); //if %use was "bananas" then %blah would be "bananas", but if %use was false then %blah would be true
"Attaching" particle emitters to objects
This is for attaching emitters to objects when it cannot be accomplished by adding it onto a datablock, which, if you can, you should do instead. Lets start by adding the actual emitter object, we'll make it the fire A emitter:

Code: [Select]

%emitter=new ParticleEmitterNode()
{
   dataBlock="GenericEmitterNode";
   position="0 0 0";
   emitter="burnEmitterA";
};
MissionCleanup.add(%emitter);This isn't going to be possible without entering the emitter into some kind of loop..

Code: [Select]

%emitter.enterAttachLoop(%obj)now lets actually set up the loop method

Code: [Select]

function ParticleEmitterNode::enterAttachLoop(%this,%obj)
{
   //this is working off the assumption that you wont enter the emitter in more than once
   //we make sure the object exists when we point to the object from the emitter
   //while also making sure that the currently attached object exists
   if(%this.attached!=%obj)
      %this.attached=%obj;
   if(!isObject(%this.attached))
      return;

   //setTransform moves the emitter to the position of the object
   %this.setTransform(%obj.position SPC "0 0 0 0");

   //this updates the emitters position, this is the part I'd imagine would be hard to find
   %this.inspectPostApply();

   //we repeat the function in 150 milliseconds, creating the loop
   %this.schedule(150,0,"enterAttachLoop",%obj);
}

You should add some info on minigames in the ScriptObjects document.

Help / Re: JVS problem!

« on: November 06, 2011, 09:45:06 AM »

This problem is caused when running Slayer with JVS Content, due to conflicting fxDTSBrick::onPlant functions.

Heres a fix for the current version (v2) of Slayer

The actual problem was on lines 405-417 in Gamemode_Slayer/Dependencies/Brick.cs.

Used to be:

Code: [Select]

function fxDtsBrick::onPlant(%brick)
{
parent::onAdd(%brick);  <-----

%brick.schedule(15,setSlyrBrick,1);
}

function fxDtsBrick::onLoadPlant(%brick)
{
parent::onAdd(%brick);  <-----

%brick.schedule(15,setSlyrBrick,0);
}
Needs to be:

Code: [Select]

function fxDtsBrick::onPlant(%brick)
{
parent::onPlant(%brick);  <-----

%brick.schedule(15,setSlyrBrick,1);
}

function fxDtsBrick::onLoadPlant(%brick)
{
parent::onLoadPlant(%brick);  <-----

%brick.schedule(15,setSlyrBrick,0);
}

It's probably best that you trace and then post the log;

    * Run Blockland
    * Press ~ to open the console
    * Type trace(1); and press enter
    * Press ~ to close the console
    * Duplicate the problem
    * Exit the game
    * Post console.log file
