How do I allow an item to be picked up more than once?

[Lord Tony®]

Lol that's funny I set the timescale to 0.2 and apparently the default spear has the same discoloration. So that's not my fault.

The explosion emitter still is an issue though.

If the projectile model is using a transparent texture, it turns white because projectiles can't be re-colored, they have to be a separate model that uses solid textures

So I need to edit the texture then, I thought this was my fault.

[Masterlegodude]

Or you could just have a separate model that uses solid textures if you want the actual item to continue being able to be re-colored via scripts

[Lord Tony®]

The color is fixed, the explosion still isn't fixed.

When the spears disappear after being struck into the ground they just vanish. My knife script has a smoke effect like the arrows but I can't get it to work on the spear.

[Lord Tony®]

I broke the spear fire sound and I don't know how to fix it it doesn't give me any errors.

The color is fixed, the explosion still isn't fixed.

I just realized you're setting the projectile's explosion data to a particle datablock, which you can't do

datablock ProjectileData(ThrowingspearProjectile)
{
   projectileShapeName = "./spearProjectile.dts";

   directDamage        = 50;
   directDamageType    = $DamageType::ThrowingSpearDirect;

   radiusDamage        = 0;
   damageRadius        = 0;
   radiusDamageType    = $DamageType::ThrowingSpearDirect;

   explosion             = ThrowingspearExplosionParticl e2;
   stickExplosion        = ThrowingspearExplosion;
   bloodExplosion        = ThrowingspearExplosion;
   particleEmitter       = ThrowingspearTrailEmitter;
   explodeOnPlayerImpact = true;
   explodeOnDeath        = true; 

   armingDelay         = 30000;
   lifetime            = 30000;
   fadeDelay           = 30000;

   isBallistic         = true;
   bounceAngle         = 170; //stick almost all the time
   minStickVelocity    = 10;
   bounceElasticity    = 0.2;
   bounceFriction      = 0.01;   
   gravityMod = 0.25;

   hasLight    = false;
   lightRadius = 3.0;
   lightColor  = "0 0 0.5";

   muzzleVelocity      = 65;
   velInheritFactor    = 1;

   uiName = "Spear";
};

Change that to the name of the explosion datablock
   explosion             = ThrowingspearExplosion;

When the spears disappear after being struck into the ground they just vanish. My knife script has a smoke effect like the arrows but I can't get it to work on the spear.

The projectile data is similar to the bow's, so i guess Blockland doesn't accept 30000 as a value for armingDelay, lifetime and fadeDelay, so try using a smaller value for those like 9999, 9000, 8000, etc

As for the sound being broken, did you overwrite the sound file?

[Lord Tony®]

The explosion works now.

I didn't overwrite the sound file. I even copy and pasted the original script I had and then repasted in every edit and still nothing.

[Masterlegodude]

So that fixed the explosion but now when it  disappears it plays the swordhit sound. The swordhit sound is only for the projectile to actually hit something.

This is because you're delaying the explosion and the sound played with it with armingDelay in the projectile data, what you can do with this is change the explosion sound to something different, maybe an actual explosion if you want, or for a silent projectile explosion, you can just comment out the explosion sound by adding '//' just to the left of 'soundProfile' in the explosion datablock

Then if you want to add a sound effect for the projectile actually hitting into things, you can add this to the CS file

Code: [Select]

function ThrowingspearProjectile::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col,%fade,%pos,%normal)
{
serverPlay3D(AudioProfile_DatablockName,%obj.getTransform());
}And just replace 'AudioProfile_DatablockName' with whatever audioProfile datablocks you have at the top of your CS file, so you can use 'ThrowingspearExplosionSound' there instead of in the explosion datablock

Now when your projectile collides with anything, it'll play the sound file of the audio profile you provide

[Lord Tony®]

No I fixed all that. The spear fire sound is not playing.
