Author Topic: Possible to make a door hinge Add-on?  (Read 1703 times)

Being very new to Blockland, needed to know if there was a way that a custom add-on could be made where blocks could be added to the custom add-on.  Example being if an add-on such as a door hinge where blocks could be added to the hinge to allow a custom door to be made out of blocks.  My first guess would have to be not possible, but thought I would post this anyway to see.

What's wrong with JVS?

Since I wasn't able to find the readme file on JVS, and again, very new here, wasn't sure if you could use JVS Content Add-on for this.  Also the model I'm building using Blockland isn't the same scale so I would need much larger doors since the scale I'm using for a 1x1 brick equals 2 by 3 inches.

Are you making a mini-city? If so, you have to use bricks. There isn't a tiny door.

Not as of yet.  I'm doing as many newbies probably do, and that's building my home. With the scale I'm using, everything is extra big where my blockman is like 5 inches tall.

Scale is: 1x1 = 2x3 inches.

At the end, I'm guessing at this build, Blockland wouldn't be able to handle custom type hinges due to the angles it would have to deal with plus if it would even be possible to mix add-on/modeling with blocks themselves???

So my next move is to look into what can and can't be done with the scripting side of this without having to go into modeling which I'll probably tamper with once I get my hands around how Blockland works and find some good documentation as well.  But at the end, I would like to work on this project with the least about of modeling as possible.

Well, I think the hinge is from Legos really.  :)

I'm not sure Roblox is worth looking at, I'm still not in with Java myself.  Long live C++ and the come back of ASM!

Anyway, yes, I know it could be done with Events, but again, wanted to know the powers of Blockland's engine and scripting language.

well you cant customize anything with jvs you have to have it forced that design or any preset ones... theres no creativity in it for the players :\ i cant believe you asked that :\

Not true, You can make your own shapes. JVS Is just a placeholder, It makes it easier for players to create there own doors

And, that guy likes to bump about every thread.
