I quite like the style of it
That's a very nice approach to it, keep it up :D

Thanks for the feedback, progress pictures:

from the looks of that error, it seems you have placed the properties of this datablock outside of the curly braces {} < these
making a function? start and end it with curly braces, like this:

Code: [Select]

function harold(%this) {
   echo("you called me!");
} //END WITH CURLY BRACES
Edit:
Your footprint particle datablock:

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(defaultfootprintParticle){
    diffuseMap[0] = "footprint";
    vertColor[0] = true;
    translucent = true;
    castShadows = "0";
    translucentZWrite = "1";
    materialTag0 = "Player";
    decalOffset = "1";
    dustEmitter = "1";
    footPuffEmitter = "1";
    footPuffNumParts = "1";
    footPuffRadius = "5.0";
};
Your function to call it (doing /dfprint)

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdDFPrint(%player) {
   //do you want to assign this to the player here?
}
I can't seem to find the footprint add-on to see what you are trying to do, if you could link it here it would be easier.

remove the {}

before

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(defaultfootprintParticle){}

{
after

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(defaultfootprintParticle) {
edit: I think the above function serverCmdDFPrint(%player) also needs to be opened with { and closed but I could be mistaken

Also I believe those animations are playing on the character itself, and I can tell you the default Blockland characters don't have those animations. Have you tried using %this instead?

I'll have a go, thanks.
Edit: I solved the problem of the animation!
By using:

Code: [Select]

stateSequence[2] = "firecrackerThrow";in the states of the weapon.
Using %this did not work unfortunately, thanks for the help though!

Well you're trying to play fireCrackerReady and the two animation sequences I see are Charge and fireCrackerThrow. Last I checked Ready !$= Throw

oh sorry i cut that part out, even after re-naming these parts within the script; the animation won't play. (updated code below)

Code: [Select]

function firecrackerImage::onAbortCharge(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
%obj.playthread(2, root);
}

function firecrackerImage::onCharge(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
   %obj.playthread(2, firecrackerThrow);
}

function firecrackerImage::onFire(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
%obj.playthread(2, firecrackerThrow);
Parent::onFire(%this, %obj, %slot);
}

I'm trying to get animation working on blender 2.49b

(CLICK FOR BIGGER)


The sequence is called firecrackerReady and is called in the script here:

Code: [Select]


        stateName[2]                             = "Charge";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[2]    = "Armed";
stateTimeoutValue[2]                 = 0.8;
stateWaitForTimeout[2]    = false;
stateTransitionOnTriggerUp[2] = "AbortCharge";
stateScript[2]                  = "onCharge";
stateAllowImageChange[2]        = false;
};

function firecrackerImage::onCharge(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
   %obj.playthread(2, firecrackerReady);
}

function firecrackerImage::onAbortCharge(%this, %obj, %slot)
{
%obj.playthread(2, root);
}
The export settings:


I can't seem to find out what the problem is, I have parented the model to the bone of the armature and animated the bone.
When I'm in-game, the animation does not play when the weapon is charged.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Well people don't really have an incentive, are you going to release the mod after the video is made? Is this video to get people hyped about it?

« on: October 22, 2014, 07:35:08 AM »

So you have a global array of maps, and transformations for each of the maps, and you're trying to get both of these variables out of a single function? - This is correct
You can concatenate the two variables and return that, then unconcatenate it to get the variables out.
return $map[0] NL $tele[0];
And then %mapData = random(); %map = getRecord(%mapData, 0); %transform = getRecord(%mapData, 1);

Also, you can seriously optimize this by using $map[%random] as opposed to checking each number, of course this wouldn't check if it exists.

And return doesn't need brackets, its not a function.

Thank you so much, I knew I could've done it smaller but I didn't know you could do it that way.

Edit: How do I de-catenate these? I know that NL puts the second string onto a new line. Would I need to use getField like this?

Code: [Select]

echo(getField(NL %secondstring));another edit: i am an idiot, getRecord( sourceString , index ); (from the torquescript wiki) does this

Modification Help / Two arguments in a function?

« on: October 22, 2014, 06:26:23 AM »

What i'm attempting to do is call a function to return some variables, (to load saves and teleport players to them) which are:

Code: [Select]

$tele[1] = "152.596 101.372 1.01 0 0 -1.00001 0.102687"; //teleport location for apartment save
$tele[2] = "-53.6 -68.24 21.5 0 0 1 1.6"; // teleport location for arch of constantine save

$map[0] = "Apartment.bls"; // apartment save file
$map[1] = "Arch of Constantine.bls"; //arch save file
the random map and tp function

Code: [Select]

function random(%map, %randomTp) {
    %random = getRandom(1,2); // random number between 1 and 2

    // random map
    switch (%map) {
    case 1:
        return ($map0);
    case 2:
        return ($map1);
    default:

    }
    //set teleport to be same as map
    %randomTp = %random;
    switch (%randomTp) {
    case 1:
        return ($tele[0]);
    case 2:
        return ($tele[1]);
    default:

    }
}
the loading bricks function

Code: [Select]

function loadBrix() {
    schedule(0, 0, serverDirectSaveFileLoad, "saves/" @ random(%map), 3, "", 2, 1);
    findclientbyname("Arix").player.setTransform(random(%randomTp));
}
(forgive my formatting)
is it possible to use %map and %randomtp in that function that way?
