You may not need the ::changeDatablock one with that either. Untested, though.

Try adding this bit to the package.

Code: [Select]

	function Armor::onNewDatablock(%this,%data)
	{
		Parent::onNewDatablock(%this,%data);
		if(isObject(%this.client))
			commandToClient(%this.client,'PlayGui_CreateToolHud',%data.maxTools);
	}

Change this

Code: [Select]

%x = (getRandom() - 1.0) * 20 * 5 * %spread;

to either

Code: [Select]

%x = (getRandom() - 2.0) * 20 * 5 * %spread;

for a random pattern, or

Code: [Select]

%x = (%i - 4) * 25 * %spread;

for a predictable horizontal spread.

Oh. The function description said "boolean [fadein]" so I assumed that "true" was to fade back in i.e. remove the black.

GameConnection::onDeath allows you to find the killer. See Team Deathmatch for that and camera adjustments.

You could try client-timescale too for "slowed down" camera, but that might be glitchy.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Request to save bricks

In order to see the build, information about each brick, its colour and position must be transferred to other people. This information can be saved.

In order to stop this transfer, don't host a public server.

Look at the Flak Cannon, it's pretty much exactly the same function. Then give Ephialtes credit for the source.

Modification Help / Re: Making a new RTB preference for the multiple slots player

« on: August 06, 2009, 05:22:59 AM »

Look at other mods that set RTB preferences, for instance the Duplicator. Then, instead of maxTools = 8; or uiName = "8-Slot Player"; you could have maxTools = $MultiSlotPlayer::Slots; and uiName = $MultiSlotPlayer::Slots @ "-Slot Player";.

Pref Manager
RTB will be including a preference manager which will be accessible to Super Admins on the server. Any add-on can register prefs to be managed by this using the following function:

RTB_registerPref("Pref Name","Category","Pref","Var Type","Your Mod Name","Default Pref Value","Requires Server Restart","Host Only");

Pref Name - The display name of your Pref.
Category - This will usually be the name of your Add-on.
Pref - The actual variable name without the $.
Var Type - The field type, much like the events system it supports list, string (max length), bool and int (minval) (maxval).
Your Mod Name - The name of your mod, simply for error reporting.
Default Pref Value - Enter a default value for the pref if it has not been changed or set before.
Requires Server Restart - Puts a * in the gui to show that changing it will require a server restart.
Host Only - This will prevent non-hosts from changing that setting.

Here is an example:

Code: [Select]

if(isFile("Add-Ons/System_ReturnToBlockland/server.cs"))
{
   if(!$RTB::RTBR_ServerControl_Hook)
      exec("Add-Ons/System_ReturnToBlockland/RTBR_ServerControl_Hook.cs");
   RTB_registerPref("Duplicator Timeout","Duplicator","Duplicator::Timeout","int 0 60","Tool_Duplicator",40,0,0);
}
else
{
   $Duplicator::Timeout = 40;
}

This would register a pref called "Duplicator Timeout" in the Duplicator category which would change the $Duplicator::Timeout pref. The user would be allowed to enter an integer between 0 and 60 inclusive. The pref is registered by the Tool_Duplicator add-on. The default timeout is 40 seconds. It does not require a restart to begin working and both the host AND super admins can change it. If RTB is not installed, it will set the $Duplicator::Timeout value to 40 anyway so the add-on still works.

This code should be placed in the server.cs of your Add-On
