Help / Named Target List Invalidated?

« on: December 26, 2009, 03:19:45 PM »

"The wrench events dialog has been closed because the named target list changed while the dialog was open."

This pops up whenever I stay in the eventing screen for over 15 seconds (normally). What do I do to stop this from occurring?

Suggestions & Requests / Invisible melee weapons at different power levels

« on: December 22, 2009, 10:31:02 PM »

Just like the title says. It would be like the RPG Sword Pack, but it wouldn't have any model, and would injure the enemy without a knockback.

The weapons could be named as such:

Melee-1 (level)
Melee-2
Melee-3

And so on.

They'd mostly be used for RPG enemies, but they could be used for a fighter class as well.

What do you guys think?

Off Topic / 1000th post

« on: December 22, 2009, 03:13:48 PM »

I never though I'd be here long enough to make 1000 posts. Sure, it's not leet, but it's still pretty cool.

Only 337 posts to go for the leet number count.

Help / Add a variable amount to another variable?

« on: December 07, 2009, 05:53:08 PM »

Is it possible to add a variable amount to your players score?

I'm trying to make it so a player earns EXP from killing enemies, but he needs to exchange them for points before he can spend them. Is this possible? If so, could someone tell me how?

Help / Evented shop problems

« on: December 04, 2009, 02:57:12 PM »

If you can see the miniscule text, I was trying to make a shop with variable events, but for some reason, when I accept the prompt, it neither does the VariableTrue events nor the VariableFalse events. I suspect I wrote the player score variable incorrectly, but I don't know what I should change it to. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to make one of Rot's zombies have more than 100 HP to make a boss fight, However, I can't set its health higher than 100. Is there any way to bypass this? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

I'm trying to use checkpoint events, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Here's what I'm eventing:

OnActivate --> Named Brick [brickname] --> SetAsCheckpoint

Any ideas as to what happened?

Help / Variable events v6; EXP for money exchange help

« on: November 30, 2009, 03:54:51 PM »

I'm using Variable Events v6, and I'm currently trying to make an event list so that a player can kill a bot enemy, receive one EXP and then have his current EXP displayed.

Then, he would have to go back to press a button to convert that EXP into points, which he can use to buy new weapons.

I'm currently having two problems.

1. When I have it print how much EXP the player has, the client prints <var:pl:EXP> more than half the time. Here's a picture of what I have concerning the variables:


2. How do I have the events find the value of the variable "EXP" and then use that value to add that much to the player's score?

Help will be appreciated, as I'd like to learn how to use these events.

General Discussion / How often do you use the duplicator?

« on: November 30, 2009, 09:08:47 AM »

I've been playing Blockland for about half a year, and I noticed my builds tend to have a higher quality when I avoid use of the duplicator. Now, I try to avoid using it unless I make a template of three bricks or so that I'll need to place over and over. (Such as complex maze walls)

How often do you use the duplicator?

Title doesn't stand for anything, this topic is merely for discussion on collaborated builds me and a few friends have been working on.

List of finished builds:

-More will be added as our builds progress-

Suggestions & Requests / Toggle saving?

« on: November 22, 2009, 11:23:53 AM »

Would it be possible to make a script which allows saving to be toggled on a server? This would erase a lot of flame/drama topics.

Drama / GreenBlockHead Petition

« on: November 21, 2009, 03:48:54 PM »

Whoa, who would've thought someone would make a topic about GreenBlockHead in the drama section? I mean, seriously.

So, here's my idea. We give GreenBH one week to build something of his own creation and post it in the gallery, just to see if he can actually use the building tools given to every blocklander when they start the game. If not, he'll be banned from posting in the Gallery.

I almost feel that this may be a little too extreme, but I think something needs to be done or nothing will change. He needs to learn to spend time on building and posting his own creations if he seeks attention. What do you guys think? Is it too harsh? Too easy? Pointless? Let me know what you think.

Off Topic / Brawl in the Family #200

« on: November 20, 2009, 10:43:10 AM »

I've been following this comic for a while now, and has recently reached its 200th comic ("Ode to Minions").

I found it to be very clever, so if anyone is interested, here's a link to the website.

Help / OnBotDeath doesn't seem to work if you set the bot's health.

« on: November 18, 2009, 04:24:36 PM »

I'm using Amade's Bot Mod to make some targets for a shooting range, and when they spawn, I have their health set to "1".

I set the events up so when I kill a bot, a scoreboard increases the player's score by 1. However, it will only increase the score if I do not set the bot's health.

Is there any way to get around this? I can't figure out the problem here.
