Can someone teach me to make custom playertypes?

[Sicarius]

I want to learn to make custom playertypes so I can make "armor" events in RPs. I've searched "how to make custom playertypes" but cant find any tutorials. I've tried making one on my own before but I can't figure out how to change the speed, health, jump etc.

At least you didn't just say "how do I make add-ons."

Make a folder named Player_NAMEHERE and put a namecheck.txt with the following in it:

Code: [Select]

Player_NAMEHERE
Now make a description.txt with the following in it:

Code: [Select]

Title: TITLE HERE
Author: YOUR BLOCKLAND NAME HERE
A SHORT DESCRIPTION HERE
now make another txt file named Player_YOURPLAYERNAMEHERE and make a server.cs with the following:

Code: [Select]

exec("./Player_YOURPLAYERNAMEHERE");
Now for the Player_YOURPLAYERNAMEHERE file put:

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(PLAYERNAMEHEREArmor : PlayerStandardArmor)
{
   runForce = NUMBER ;
   runEnergyDrain = NUMBER;
   minRunEnergy = NUMBER;

   maxForwardSpeed = NUMBER;
   maxBackwardSpeed = NUMBER;
   maxSideSpeed = NUMBER;

   maxForwardCrouchSpeed = NUMBER;
   maxBackwardCrouchSpeed = NUMBER;
   maxSideCrouchSpeed = NUMBER;

jumpForce = NUMBER;
jumpEnergyDrain = NUMBER;
minJumpEnergy = NUMBER;
jumpDelay = NUMBER;

minJetEnergy = NUMBER;
jetEnergyDrain = NUMBER;
canJet = NUMBER;

showEnergyBar = NUMBER;
showHealthBar = NUMBER;
maxEnergy = NUMBER;
rechargeRate = NUMBER;

maxDamage = NUMBER;

uiName = "PLAYERNAMEHERE Player";
};

Okay let's see. You don't know how to chage the speed, health or jump values?

Code: [Select]

runForce = 48 * 90;
jumpForce = 8 * 90;
maxDamage = 100;
Oh I see, you are not particularly good at English. The health variable you could have figured out rather quickly by thinking a little. "Maximum damage".. In my opinion the variable names are very self explanatory, that's why you didn't find any tutorials.

True, but making a playertype with a custom model requires a lot of modeling and is not as easy.

Indeed, but he was referring to changing speeds and health so I am assuming he means a regular player type, not one with custom models and animations.

How can I make a "pack" of more than one playertype? I don't want to have to check 20 different playertypes in the add on selector.

[Demian]

Yes, execute all the player type scripts in the server.cs.
