Bauklotz:
vertSizing and horizSizing properties in the GUI.

Treynolds416:
I have another question.

How would I go about getting the position of a brick I am looking at?
As in, type /getbrickposition and you will get the xyz coordinates of the brick that is in your direct line of sight.

Things I know:
I can't find a default function for this
The only thing close to it is /GetId, which is kind of what I want this to behave like
I know the final line has to be something like echo(id.getposition());

Things I don't know:
If I do use a combination of ServerCmdGetId and getWord, which string should I search in?
And basically everything else

I believe myself to be fairly intelligent, scripting just does not come naturally to me.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Your going to need to make a copy of the insides of serverCmdGetID -- I dont know where you will find that.

but the concept is this:
player types: /getbrickposition
you write function serverCmdGetbrickposition(%client)

and inside you do this:
- do a "raycast" to findout the brick the player is looking at
that will eventually give you a brick.
- use: echo(%brick.getposition() ); or MessageClient( ) to display the position.

the raycast thing is used in several places... I use a copy in my own stuff, but I cant remember which mod I copied it from.

Here is the basis for that Treynolds:

%obj would be the player of the client who calls the command.

--- Code: ---%scale = vectorScale(%obj.getEyeVector(),100);
%ray = containerRaycast(%obj.getEyePoint(),%scale,$Typemasks::fxBrickObjectType);
if(isObject(firstWord(%ray)))
{
%brick = firstWord(%ray);
Announce(%brick.getPosition());
}
--- End code ---
This is untested and written from my phone, but feel free to take it and try it out/mess with it

Deathwishez:
Is there a list of default functions somewhere?

Or will I have to scavenge for them by tracing?
