Modification Help / How do i make Different shaped spawnpoint bricks?

« on: February 02, 2013, 04:24:04 PM »

datablock fxDTSBrickData(brickNameData : brickSpawnPointData)
{
   brickFile = "./Brick,blb";
   category = "Special";
   subCategory = "Brickies";
   uiName = "Brick Spawn";
   specialbricktype = "SpawnPoint";
};
This doesn't seem to work... and This:
package a {
function GameConnection::getSpawnPoint(%client)
   {
      return Parent::getSpawnPoint(%client);   
   }
};
seem's like it is un-needed because you are just changing the shape of a spawn brick

What can I do to make different shaped spawn bricks without the extra getSpawnPoint(%this) stuff?

Suggestions & Requests / Auto Tunnel

« on: January 25, 2013, 11:52:06 PM »

Basically, autoroad with tunnel like bricks that are 8xCubes (Dead ends, T, X and L pieces)

Here's what i suggest you use:
Tunnel Bricks (8xCubes that are hollow)



Auto Road Bricks - Broken (does not rotate bricks)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mpee8f92h1m1z28

Missing IDtoRot Function: (i wrote it my self, it works on autoroad partially)

Code: [Select]

function idtorot(%ad) {if(%ad==0)return "1 0 0 0"; else if(%ad==1) return"0 0 1 90"; else if(%ad==2) return "0 0 1 180"; else if(%ad==3) return "0 0 -1 90"; else return "1 0 0 0";}

I'm just having trouble making the tunnels work with autoroad...

I don't actually need this anymore..

Suggestions & Requests / Crouch Racer Vehicles

« on: January 25, 2013, 02:16:18 AM »

Basically These:
http://forum.returntoblockland.com/dlm/viewFile.php?id=4085
(speed karts if you didn't happen to click)

where you lie down and are in a crouching position in the car and there is a roof that covers the player completely

basically miniature car models that fit around the player

It doesn't even have to be a vehicle, it could be an image that is mounted to the player's back when crouching with the item in their hand.

To sum it all up:
It's a car that fits around the player when they crouch

Modification Help / Eval Syntax errors

« on: January 04, 2013, 06:25:44 PM »

Code: [Select]

function musicToItem(%musicData)
{
	%iconname = "base/client/ui/brickicons/Unknown";
	%category = "Music";
	%uiname = strReplace(%musicdata.getName(),"musicData_","");
	%uiname = strReplace(%uiname,"_"," ");
	eval("datablock ItemData("@%musicData@"Item : musicItem){uiName = \""@%uiname@"\";image = "@%musicData@"image;};");
	eval("datablock ShapeBaseImageData("@%musicData@"image : musicImage){item = "@%musicdata@"item;projectile = \"\";colorShiftColor = \"1 1 1 1\";};");
	echo("COMPLETED" SPC %category SPC %musicData SPC %musicdata.getName());$MusicBricks[musicData] = 1;
}

This turns music datablocks into items for something I am working on... Don't Ask...
The errors are the syntax on both eval lines...

PS: eval has to be in one line

could someone help me with making that work?

Stretched out eval:

Code: [Select]

eval("
datablock ItemData("@%musicData@"Item : musicItem)
{
uiName = \""@%uiname@"\";
image = "@%musicData@"image;
};
");

eval(
"datablock ShapeBaseImageData("@%musicData@"image : musicImage)
{
item = "@%musicdata@"item;
projectile = \"\";
colorShiftColor = \"1 1 1 1\";
};
");

Modification Help / function that is called for loading music datablocks

« on: January 04, 2013, 03:50:34 PM »

I'm working on something that uses all the music datablocks, but If i load it as a normal add-on, it won't catch them because it calls the function while add-ons are loading (which happens to be before loading music datablocks)

What is the function that is called when music datablocks are loaded?

Environment Files / [Port] Mount Iron Croft Skybox

« on: November 25, 2012, 02:07:11 AM »

Credit to Nasoa for Mount Iron Croft map

Sky_BlueSky.zip
as Requested here:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=214729.0

I really liked the skybox from nasoa's "mount ironcroft" map, and I was sad to see the map go when V21 came out, so could someone release it as just a skybox on the environment files page?

Modification Help / Planting a brick regardless of plant errors

« on: October 31, 2012, 12:53:48 AM »

I know of function fxDTSBrick::onPlant(%this) and that it is called when you plant a brick, but how would i force a brick to be planted without errors, mainly meaning overlapping, floating and buried..

Also, would changing the hammerprojectile::OnCollision(%args) to delete floating bricks be effective?


note:
- Did not help

Modification Help / How do i get the code of a function

« on: October 20, 2012, 04:39:22 PM »

so lets say that i made a function called bacon();
I want to get the code from bacon and add stuff to it, then save the function
how would i do that?
like

function bacon(){
commandtoserver('messagesent',"want bacon");
}

then get the code of bacon to add stuff to it

function bacon() {
commandtoserver('messagesent',"I think i would");
call bacon(); //or parent::bacon?
}

and the out put would be:

Player: i think i would
Player: want bacon

would i use the parent of bacon to do this?

Modification Help / Shape Name Lines

« on: October 05, 2012, 05:14:59 PM »

I was thinking of putting the things in this mod above a player's name all the time, but then i realized that you can't change a player's shape name.
Is there any way to get around this and add an ASCII health bar under a player's name?

Modification Help / Creating objects you can see through bricks

« on: October 02, 2012, 05:32:56 PM »

Is it possible to make an object be seen through bricks regardless of rendering/raycasting?
If so, how would i create one at the player's location

function addportal(%name, %loc)
{
%file = new fileobject();
%file.openforappend("config/server/portals.txt");
%file.writeLine(%name@" "@%loc);
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}
function servercmdaddportal(%client, %name)
{
%pos = %client.player.getTransform();
%pos=strReplace(%pos," ","_");
addportal(%name, %pos);
}

This is a portal/waypoint script im working on :P
