This is probably caused by an add-on. Please post the console log if possible.

And you just know they're gonna use it anyway.

Yup, that's how it goes.

If the configuration is re-directed to /My documents, what will happen to hosting services? Is there any way you can direct configuration files to the usual folder?

Um, it already does this.

Modification Help / Re: Tell if a client has RTB?

But I already posted that!

I was re-stating it because there was confusion below your post.

« on: October 15, 2013, 06:01:10 PM »

Neither of those are counterexamples. They're not clients and the BL_ID placed on them is the BL_ID of their owner.
Also, to my mind, saying "et cetera" after only two examples means you don't actually have a third.

In all honesty I can't remember my reasoning for it anymore.

Code: [Select]

function AiConnection::recycle(%this)
{
	if(isObject(%this.minigame))
		%this.minigame.removeMember(%this);

	//snip
}

It should be noted that this minigame removal will only work if it is not a default minigame - aka Slayer.

.. wow, really? I wrote something almost exactly like this not too long ago - just doesn't have the tagged string removal part.

As long as all of our methods use the aiRecycler object, they should work together nicely.

If %client.hasRTB is true, they have RTB.

Modification Help / Re: Player::giveTool not functioning (oddly)

« on: October 14, 2013, 11:17:58 PM »

I'm not sure what your function is doing exactly but this is what I use to give players tools.

Code: [Select]

function GameConnection::forceEquip(%this,%slot,%item)
{
	%player = %this.player;
	if(!isObject(%player))
		return;

	%item = (isObject(%item) ? %item.getID() : 0);

	%oldTool = %player.tool[%slot];
	%player.tool[%slot] = %item;

	messageClient(%this,'MsgItemPickup','',%slot,%item);

	if(!isObject(%oldTool))
		%player.weaponCount ++;
}

For input events to work, you need to call processInputEvent on the brick.

Don't add BL_IDs to bots. Even if it works it's just bad practice.

I see no reason not to. BLIDs are added to bricks, brickgroups, etc.

Help / Re: How can I make Slayer randomize the team?

« on: October 14, 2013, 06:31:05 PM »

If the teams are all set up with the same auto-sort weighting, then they should definitely join a random team. Make sure that you have the latest version of Slayer.

Really, you can add the bot however you would like.

This is my function that takes into account BLIDs. (since they cannot be changed)

Code: [Select]

//Creates an AiConnection and adds it to the minigame.
//The bot is not tied to a specific brick and is instead tied to the minigame.
//@return       objectID      The newly created bot.
function Slayer_MinigameSO::addBotToGame(%this)
{
        //Blockland crashes when ~3500 AiConnection objects have been created.
        //We need to recycle them when possible.
        if(isObject(aiRecycler))
        {
                for(%i = 0; %i < aiRecycler.getCount(); %i ++)
                {
                        %ai = aiRecycler.getObject(%i);
                        if(%ai.bl_id $= %this.creatorBLID || %ai.bl_id $= "")
                        {
                                aiRecycler.remove(%ai);
                                %bot = %ai;
                                break;
                        }
                }
        }

        if(!isObject(%bot))
        {
                %bot = new AiConnection();
        }

        %bot.bl_id = %this.creatorBLID;
        %bot.isHoleBot = true;
        %bot.isSlayerBot = true;

        %this.addMember(%bot);

        Slayer_Support::Debug(2,"Slayer_MinigameSO::addBotToGame",%bot);

        return %bot;
}

Modification Help / Re: A Coding Syntax Question On Spaces

« on: October 13, 2013, 04:47:01 PM »

I use TorqueDev and Notepad++ for TorqueScript work. Is there any real advantage to switching over to Sublime? Also, won't I have to pay for Sublime once it leaves beta?
