Modification Help / Re: Getting filenames.

« on: October 28, 2007, 03:38:27 PM »

Code: [Select]

function servercmdTDMgetPackages(%client)
{
 %open = new FileObject();
 %name = findFirstFile("Add-Ons/Client/TeamDMv4/Packages/*.tdm");
 while(%name !$= "")
 {
  %open.openForRead(%name);
  //File read stuff
  %open.close();
  %name = findNextFile("Add-Ons/Client/TeamDMv4/Packages/*.tdm");
 }
 %open.delete();
}
Because of the way Torque does the file search routine, file searches cannot happen in the Add-On loading procedure, it erases the search and makes the file executing keep looping. I scheduled this function to happen after about three seconds, partly into the loading datablocks. The only downside is that if it echos ("**Loaded: Capture the Flag" or whatever) then it appears in the wrong place.

Modification Help / Re: Rotating an object?

« on: October 28, 2007, 03:13:06 PM »

%obj.client.portalB = new StaticShape()
{
   position = %pos2;
   datablock = PortalB;
   scale = "4 4 0.1";
   rotation = (%normal SPC "90");
};

What happens when you try the 0 instead of the 90?

You can have as many functions as you like in a file. If you release mods then it's best to have similar things in the same file - everything to do with the Gun script is contained in the Weapon_Gun.cs file not spread across the game. The only exception is Support_ files which contain many generic effects for several mods to use.

Why must you already refer to me as "Space BOY"? I generally call you the name you asked to be called, Gikon.

Try setting the rotation to (%normal SPC "0"). If that doesn't work, (%normal SPC "90"). For more info on how these rotations and normals work, refer to Wikipedia. (Two links)

Code: [Select]

function portalgunProjectile::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
 //checks for placement
 %portal = new StaticShape(){datablock = PortalBlueData;position = %pos;rotation = (%normal SPC "0");};
 //stuff
}

This forum would probably be right, Gikon.

Radial: Make a Blank Screen* (or go to construct), put the following codes in console:

Code: [Select]

clientgroup.getobject(0).player.hidenode("ALL");

Code: [Select]

clientgroup.getobject(0).player.unhidenode("rhand");

Code: [Select]

clientgroup.getobject(0).player.setNodecolor("rhand","1 1 0 1");
then use Freelook and zoom in to take a picture of your hand. Cut the picture out (use the Magic Wand tool on various editors such as The GIMP or Paint.net) and put it on the light/dark circle background of one of the files in Add-Ons/ItemIcons.

*Make a wall of Print 1x4x4s. Print them to " ". Colour them white or any colour contrasting from those in your image. Glow FX them.

Do you get any specific error (Has Encountered an Error, Buffer Overrun, Abnormal Program Termination), anything in console / console.log (unPackUpdates, etc) or just instant close?

The rocket itself looks good (like a Lego Miniland build they'd have) but the tower and large fuel store seem a little off. I'm not sure why.

Modification Help / Re: Model animation names?

As Ephialtes said, the name of the animation can be anything. Just change the statesequence[n] to the name of that animation.

100% not %100 on the texture

Do MuffinMix's suggestions, and this:

Code: [Select]

AddDamageType("MilkDirect",   '<bitmap:add-ons/ci/Milk> %1',    '%2 <bitmap:add-ons/ci/Milk> %1',1,1);
datablock ProjectileData(MilkProjectile)
{
   projectileShapeName = "./shapes/Milk/milk.dts";
   directDamage        = 10;
   directDamageType  = $DamageType::milkDirect;
   radiusDamageType  = $DamageType::milkDirect;
   impactImpulse    = 1000;
   verticalImpulse    = 1000;
   explosion           = MilkExplosion;
   particleEmitter     = MilkTrailEmitter;
that way it shows the "Milk" CI for both direct and radius damage.

Modification Help / Re: Changing Jet emitters?

« on: October 28, 2007, 07:18:35 AM »

You can change the emitter for all players by defining the emitter playerJetEmitter pointing to a custom particle. The "change your own by /cmd" may be possible but would only work outside of minigames. (Needing new datablocks...)

« on: October 28, 2007, 06:16:33 AM »

You could have two copies of the interior, an "entrance" which is just the start with particles making it black and a teleport to the actual cave high up where you can build in it. (Very high up, out of sight. Like Age of Time.)

Make it spawn a large physicalzone with lowered gravity etc.

/colortest does nearly the same thing. (SAdmin only but for some reason messages all)
