Starcraftman:
I think everyone should just stop trying to help this kid seeing as how he isn't really listening to everyone's advice and doesn't seem that bright anyways.

origami king 101:
all im asking for, is a full tutorial, and this will all be over.

Some one as young and as inexperienced as you can not make add-ons. Making them is a long, tedious, and time consuming process. To you, it looks simple. A model, some emitters, and maybe a few projectiles, and that's it.

But the reality is, it's not that simple at all.

Example of what's needed (sorry for page stretch):
--- Code: ---//spear.cs

datablock AudioProfile(spearExplosionSound)
{
filename = "./spearHit.wav";
description = AudioClose3d;
preload = false;
};

datablock AudioProfile(spearFireSound)
{

description = AudioClose3d;
preload = true;
};

That's the Spear, by the way.

No... this will be over when we start ignoring you.. which should be about.... NAO!!

-Jetz-:
Why do you guys still want to help this starfish? He persists in insulting anyone who falls short of a complete step-by-step walkthrough of a very broad subject. He has no courtesy or social skills, and is eager to get himself banned to rudely put forth the point that Badspot isn't doing something he isn't expected to do.

--- Quote from: origami king 101 on April 22, 2010, 04:52:37 PM ---so, why cant any of you dip-stuffs learn to give others tutorials.

--- End quote ---
Why can't you learn to learn?

--- Quote from: origami king 101 on April 21, 2010, 09:45:43 PM ----_- idiots... i mean... HOW DO I TEXTURE AND MODEL THEM! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE DUMBASSES AND JUST SAY SOMETHING AND THINK IT WILL HELP!

--- End quote ---
He has no respect for the people he expects help from.

--- Quote from: origami king 101 on April 21, 2010, 10:02:56 PM ---did you know that if no one would know how to make add ons, there would be less than 2000 people playing it EACH YEAR? if everyone could make add ons, the blockland population each DAY would be over 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people!!!

Also, I don't think stupid people being able to make add-ons would be enough to get 22 quadrillion times the worlds population worth of people playing Blockland.
