RTB Preferences for maps?

Blockland Forums > Modification Help

(1/3) > >>

Reactor Worker:
Could RTB preferences be used to enable/disable content within a map assuming the settings were changed before the map was loaded? For instance, could you have an option to disable loading a certain interior or set of shapes? Perhaps a way to comment out or disable entire portions of a mission file?

If this is possible, would anyone be willing to create the necessary code and help me integrate it into my map?

Ephialtes:
You just need to change the particular interior to be conditionally loaded. For example in your .mis file:

--- Code: ---// Standard map objects
new Blah(Map)
{
   Blah blah
};

// Register the pref
RTB_registerPref(...)

// Load optional things
if($Pref::MyMap::Whatever)
{
   %interior = new InteriorInstance(blah)
   {
   somestuff
   };
   Map.add(%interior);
}

--- End code ---

Reactor Worker:
So, something like this?

--- Code: ---//--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN ---
new SimGroup(MissionGroup) {

new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) {

Is the Map.add(%interior) a different kind of function? Does that automatically create the option under RTB Preferences?

You'll still need to look at the RTB Documentation (http://returntoblockland.com/files/RTB_Documentation.pdf) to learn about how to register a pref for RTB. "Adding" the interior just adds it to the mission instead of having it floating around in oblivion.

Reactor Worker:
Maps don't usually have a "server.cs" file, so is that something I just add to the main folder of the add_on?

Is this what I put in it?

--- Code: ---RTB_registerPref(
"Slate On?",
"Worlds",
"$Worlds::SlateOn",
"bool", //boolean?
"Map_Worlds",
"0", //That means by default it is off?
1,
1, ); //host only?
--- End code ---

I omitted the callback name as I don't think I need that.
