I've literally never had problems with acne. I don't even have the best facial-hygiene either, which is weird and I think it's going to be like, 80% based on genetics, 20% you can control.

Btw, I never use an actual razor to shave. I use like, a trimmer (machine) so it never results in me with ingrown hairs. That could help you out a bit if you aren't already doing this.

Modification Help / Re: Setting transform while in vehicle

« on: June 12, 2017, 03:28:36 PM »

Just set the vehicle's transform and the player will follow.

You can get the vehicle a player is mounted to, use playerObject.dump();

It might start with something like .getMount..

Modification Help / Re: Making player point at a specific coordinate

« on: May 28, 2017, 05:13:41 AM »

A hacky way to do it would be to spawn a bot in the player's position then move the player, and client camera accordingly, then have the bot look at the exact point. Then, get the transform of the bot, delete the bot and set the player's transform to the transform you got from the now deleted bot.

The switch is wrong and that's not going to work. You'd probably want to use an if statement for what you're trying to do here.

GSF Ghost does it again! Very nice and it's not if he can get it working with PTG, it's when. This guy knows his stuff.

Modification Help / Re: How do I change the respawn time in a gamemode with no minigame?

« on: May 02, 2017, 04:31:39 PM »

You may need to have a custom script in the gamemode's file. I'm not 100% familiar with the gamemode system, there could be a variable but I doubt it.

First, they need to know what makes programming fun. Then their lust for finding resources will make everything go automatically.

I agree with this statement.

-sniparoo-

Yeah, you may be right sorta about the curse of knowledge. But like you, I didn't know squat about programming when I first started and guess where I actually learned to code first? Age of Time. There were several people who were 'mentors', in the game (I suspect badspot on an alt was one of them) that helped me when I had questions (and they also told me to just give up at times (jetz, lol)). What I'm trying to get at is, people who really want to learn, will find a way to learn by any means - it's that simple. Sure, pointing them in the right direction is a great thing and it looks like this thread and your class thing will do that.

Also, I never stated that good teachers are irrelevant, re-read that post you quoted, I'm actually saying the opposite.

Badspot hit the nail on the head though (probably not as much at the time he wrote this, but it's even more true in 2017 with all the resources/users available):

I get what you're saying, but once again it comes down the resources available (which is more than enough for anyone to start learning). Resources also being the ability to ask question on these forums, and if needed, sending private messages (questions) to people who have the knowledge. Lastly, they can even ask questions via steam (for those that use it). So if you're scared away from making add-ons because of 'lack of documentation', I have some bad news for you.

Of course there can and will be more and more resources available as time goes by.

I know there are a lot of people on here including myself who have been scared away from making add-on because of the lack of documentation for the workflow beyond the basics such as prints and static items. This is something that should've been done 5 years ago, but the next best time is now. I hope you can start a sort of add-on renaissance Conan, the Blockland community is depending on you.

Or, maybe you and a lot of people are just too lazy to do simple research. There's literally TONS of resources on this forum alone and on this forum, tons of resources that are external (websites, etc). Let's not use this excuse please.
