visible Brick names

[hodototman]

It would be a server mod, where you would wrench the brick and then there would be an input box saying "Visual Brick name" so like if a player didnt have admin, and the player they wanted to find didnt have admin, and they couldn't find eachother, then the brick would have a floatin name just like the player and it would show it to the player.

My attempted translation:

It would be an event.
It would have an input box where you would specify the bricks name.  Then the name would appear above the brick, like it does above players.

I'm guessing he proposed using this to help two players find each other.  Though this is kind of inane seeing as how players can see each others names.  I'm guessing this guy just hasn't figured out he can hit f5(unless he forgeted up the controls) to see other player's names.

Still this could be fun.  I guess.  It would definitely be useful for landmarks.  You could put an invisible plate above a clock tower with the words,"Ye Olde Clock Tower" proudly displayed above it.

So really this isn't a bad idea.  Heck, itd probably be even more useful than giving names to vehicles...

Already Done.

By Me. But I won't release it sorry.

But I won't release it sorry.

Why not?  Afraid of flaming?  Or do you think it's not worth it?  I wouldn't mind having this mod myself...

Or he didn't do it.

If I remember correctly Furling made something like this a while back. Could be wrong though.

Probably because the instant Badspot finds _another_ way to give bricks shapenames, he'll remove it.

Yeah, I made it back in August, Furling just kept hosting a server testing it so everyone thought he made it.

I personally thought doing it through an event isn't the best way to do it, I asked for ideas in a mod. disc. topic and no one replied so I figured no one was really interested. If you do want it though, Furling posted a link above.

I don't think there every was a way to give bricks a shapeName, it was players and bots that it was removed from.

Why does Badspot keep removing ways to give bricks shapenames?  :o

If I remember right,Blocks were StaticShapes.These StaticShapes has a function called setShapeName(%text).Of course this was before the rendering was changed from staticshapes to the current one now.
