Well I have no idea what happened but it works. I simply set the uiName to nothing. Just like I did before. I'm calling majicks on this, but hey it works! =)

Okay let me simplify this.
I want the following emitter gone from the emitter list in events/wrench gui:  Player Teleport B
The datablock name for it is: playerTeleportEmitterB
The datablock name for the particle is: playerTeleportParticleB

Ok... so you want the emitter but you dont want it used by the camera?

Heres something you can try. Start up your server and open the console. type in "tree();" [without quotes] to open up 2 displays. On the right side, expand the item at the top, and from there expand the "datablock group". Search in there untill you find the playerteleportb particle/emitter and click on one of them. Copy all of the values in the left window into notepad or whatever, and then make entirely different emitter datablocks with those values.

Hope that helped out.

Erm, that is exactly what I am doing. Right now the only problem is removing the real "Player Teleport B" from the emitter list because I have two of them there. One of them is the real one, one is fake. I guess these two threads overlap a little.

If I get an answer to this, I have achieved what I need.

If what you are trying to do is make the camera orb invisible, just download the new orb script from RTB and set the particle colors to "0 0 0 0". If not then just ignore me.

Not what I want.

Try setting the uiName of the datablock to nothing.

Didn't work.

I want playerTeleportParticleB / playerTeleportEmitterB to be available when eventing. I don't want playerTeleportParticleB/playerTeleportEmitterB to be there when I F7 (Orb to player).

I need to delete the datablock playerTeleportEmitterB. I tried to do this in my script with this:

Code: [Select]

playerTeleportEmitterB.delete();

When executing the script, I got this error.

Code: [Select]

ERROR: delete - you cannot delete datablocks directly
BackTrace: ->SM_StartMission->createServer->onServerCreated->loadAddOns

How do I delete datablocks?

Alternatively, if someone knows how to remove the playerTeleportEmitterB (Player Teleport B in the emitter list) from the emitter list that would work too.

Don't make it purple either. The name wand is purple.

It's almost impossible to pick an unique color. I for one have never heard of name wand nor do I think it is useful at all judging by the name.

I'd like this. But rather than making it so complex, why not mirror the selected bricks horizontally? No need for line of reflection and such.

I see no indication of which view he means.

Majority of popular RPGs have this third person zoom feature that allows you to move the camera further and closer (With mouse wheel) to the playable character. It is very rare for RPGs to have this Blockland style zoom feature. Then by brown townyzing his message grammar and excessive usage of emoticons I guessed that he was a generic computer gaming newbie. Thus I assumed he meant a 3rd person zoom.

McTwist came up with the following script. Sadly, it doesn't work as both playerTeleportParticleA and playerTeleportParticleB are removed when orbing (But they can be applied to bricks). But there could be something to it. Anyone know what to do?

Code: [Select]

if (isPackage(DropPlayerParticle))
    deactivatePackage(DropPlayerParticle);

package DropPlayerParticle
{
    function serverCmdDropPlayerAtCamera(%client)
    {
        %client.removeEmitter = true;
        Parent::serverCmdDropPlayerAtCamera(%client);
        %client.removeEmitter = false;
    }
    
    function Player::teleportEffect(%player)
    {
        if (%player.client.removeEmitter)
            return;
        Parent::teleportEffect(%player);
    }
};
activatePackage(DropPlayerParticle);

I'm pretty sure he means in 3rd person.
