Modification Help / Do I need anything else in a Playertype?

« on: November 01, 2011, 06:08:46 PM »

In my playertype I have all the joints as follows:

mount0
mount1
mount2
mount3
mount4
mount5
mount6
mount7

It crashes when I load it, not just use it.  Do I need a root node or an eye node?

Suggestions & Requests / New Forum Design

« on: October 28, 2011, 08:09:53 PM »

Yes, our forums do look nice, but I think that it would be a good idea to get a more streamlined design.  The current layout is more old and is kinda becoming a tad boring.

Modification Help / What should I name the Material or Group for Color-able Vehicle parts?

« on: October 19, 2011, 08:49:19 PM »

Note:  I am using Milkshape3D.
So yeah, I may sound like a noob, but this is my first time making a vehicle and I was wondering what I need to name the Material or Groups that are color-able on a Vehicle.

Guesses:

•  Detail0
•  Detail32

Also, for animations such as a helicopter blade spinning, do I need to name the joint that animates it or no?

General Discussion / EgyptQuest - Interactive Puzzle Challenge (Error fix on Page 3)

« on: October 02, 2011, 12:49:48 AM »

As a combination of the old joke of Blockland Adventure mode and a lack of good, interactive builds, I bring you...


This project was made entirely by me, do not attempt to claim credit or call it fake.

Who you are:
You are an explorer who, when traversing across the desert sands of Egypt, stumble upon the lost tombs of King Alashur VI of Egypt. Unwilling to say farewell to your findings and let the news leak out to the press, you venture deeper into the tomb, finding live mummies, demon reptiles and King Alashur in the flesh (sort of).

What you do:
Your ultimate goal is to find the Pharoh's mummified body, but first have to solve a few puzzles, defeat a few demon lizards and fight the army of the undead.

How do you get to the end?:
Your path is halted by the Three Gates of Gishon.  The Gishon Sentinals (demon lizards) carry the three gems you need to pass the gates.

(The Three Gates of Gishon)


The Crimson Demon carries the Ruby, the first gate.
The Blue Demon carries the Saphire, the second gate.
The Green Demon carries the Emerald, the third gate.


After all three gates are unlocked, you come to a room with a hole in the wall.



You enter the crevice to find the Key of Alashur, but beware, traps lie ahead.



Because I am so nice, I'll just give you a download of all the Add-Ons Required.  See bottom of post.

Submit all your requests here.

• Make logical sense and be well-explained.
• Be possible with he Torque Engine.
• Be not from another game or related to another game.
• Be encouraged by at least two other members of the community in THIS topic.

If you post a picture or drawing of what you want it to look like, you have a better chance of having it made.

Modification Help / CI damage Displaying oddly.

« on: September 18, 2011, 10:51:21 PM »

Code: [Select]

AddDamageType("PoisonDart",   '<bitmap:Add-Ons/Weapon_Blowdart/CI_dart> %1',    '%2 <bitmap:Add-Ons/Weapon_Blowdart/CI_dart> %1',0.5,1);This is the code for the Damage.  All I want is it to say the attacker killing the victim.  It says so far.

(CI_dart) Victim
AttackerVictim

I was using the slayer gamemode when this happened on team slayer.  If it's a problem between the gamemode and bots, please let me know.  I wasn't able to test it in normal deathmatch, but this is about as far as I was able to test.  If an experienced scripter could rearrange the script or rewrite it, I would greatly appriciate it.

Modification Help / Raycasting Explosion Failure

« on: September 12, 2011, 12:09:27 AM »

So yeah, I'm having trouble making it raycast the explosion only when I fire.  When I equip the weapon it spams the explosion when it's supposed to spawn a laser.

Here's the raycasting function:

Code: [Select]

function LeviathanImage::Search(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
%start = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
%end = vectorAdd(%start, vectorScale(%obj.getMuzzleVector(%slot), 500));
%typemasks = $Typemasks::PlayerObjectType | $Typemasks::FxBrickObjectType | $Typemasks::TerrainObjectType | $Typemasks::InteriorObjectType | $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType | $TypeMasks::VehicleObjectType;
%ray = containerRaycast(%start, %end, %typemasks, %obj);
if(isObject(%hit = firstWord(%ray)))
{
%pos = posFromRaycast(%ray);
%apos = vectorAdd(%pos, vectorScale(normalFromRaycast(%ray), 0.05));
%prj = new Projectile()
{
datablock = LeviathanEmitterA;
initialPosition = %apos;
initialVelocity = "0 0 0";
scale = %obj.getScale();
sourceObject = %obj;
sourceSlot = %slot;
client = %obj.client;
};
}
}

function LeviathanImage::onFire(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
if(%obj.lastShot[%this] + %this.minShotTime > getSimTime())
{
return;
}
%obj.lastShot[%this] = getSimTime();
%start = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
%end = vectorAdd(%start, vectorScale(%obj.getMuzzleVector(%slot), 500));
%typemasks = $Typemasks::PlayerObjectType | $Typemasks::FxBrickObjectType | $Typemasks::TerrainObjectType | $Typemasks::InteriorObjectType | $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType | $TypeMasks::VehicleObjectType;
%ray = containerRaycast(%start, %end, %typemasks, %obj);
if(isObject(%hit = firstWord(%ray)))
{
%pos = posFromRaycast(%ray);
%apos = vectorAdd(%pos, vectorScale(normalFromRaycast(%ray), 0.05));
%prj = new Projectile()
{
datablock = LeviathanEmitterA;
initialPosition = %apos;
initialVelocity = vectorScale(%obj.getMuzzleVector(%slot), 200);
scale = %obj.getScale();
sourceObject = %obj;
sourceSlot = %slot;
client = %obj.client;
Leviathanbullet = true;
};
}
}

Also here's pic of the weapon:

Add-Ons / Grapes of Wrath [RTB]

« on: September 03, 2011, 05:12:17 PM »

Hello Blockland.  Usually I make maps but I decided to try out making weapons, and the outcome was the TC-98 Grapes of Wrath.  For some odd reason, when it was approved, it did not go through the full approval process (not getting posted to RTB Listings in Forums and not getting posted to the RTB Mod Manager's News Feed).  So here it is:

Below is the posted body of the RTB Topic.

Pictures provided with RTB Link.

This is the Grapes of Wrath: A semi-automatic long-range mini-grenade launcher... Why, you ask is it called "Grapes of Wrath"? It fires purple grenades and they destroy virtually anything. It IS an all-purpose weapon.

Hands have been removed on the weapon to avoid controversy.
