Sword Edits.

[Creola]

I tried to make a few sword edits, just changing CIname, damage, colors and stuff.
need halps. or someone to do it for meh. okaybye.

EDIT: If you need me to post my failed sword edit, I will.
also, if you do manage to fix/make them, i would like it to be PM'd to mahself. :3

You need to rename the datablocks in order for it to not overwrite the original sword.

[Creola]

what section of the script would i do that? :3
EDIT:model .dts's? or what?

Everything that I put in bold for you, rename.
Everything in italic underlined, you need to use, or you will get errors. Have fun.

[Creola]

Hawt. You win teh gaem.

wayt, what about the //sword.cs at the top? do want change to wurks?
Also, what would i do to change the color of the weapon?

[Burger]

Nah, // is just so you can comment. // means nothing to a script.

[Creola]

but, how2 change weapon color?

[Burger]

The texture file.

[Creola]

The texture file.

i tried; it only changed it in the item spawn.

[Meekl]

try these.
1 way--take a file in the folder,drag it to any folder,open it in MSpaint,or whatever,change it,and put it back in the zip file.but remember to delete the one in the folder you changed!

2--look for "setcolorshift"in the ITEM properties,not the IMAGE properties,and enter the RGB numbers.(to figure mine out,i go to blockland's player editor,click color set in the lower left ,and play with the colors.

[Muffinmix]

// Item //

   doColorShift = true;
   colorShiftColor = "0.471 0.471 0.471 1.000";

   doColorShift = true;
   colorShiftColor = "0.471 0.471 0.471 1.000";

Give the same new color code value to both lines for a different color sword item and held weapon. Do not change the 4th number, it's transparency and causes bugs if not set to 1.

[Space Guy]

Code: [Select]

item = swordItem;
   ammo = " ";
   projectile = swordProjectile;
   projectileType = Projectile;
This part should also be changed, leaving it would break if you didn't have the Sword enabled and would start doing the same damage/effects as the normal Sword if you did.. Keep the item the same as the name you defined for ItemData and the projectile the same as your ProjectileData, otherwise it may not work.
