Author Topic: Colorset setting properties?  (Read 1078 times)

I was in a server today, and it was getting a pain to event every brick to give it certain properties. I was wondering if it was possible to make it so that if a brick is a certain color, it is automatically given certain properties.
Example: Painting a brick dark red turns it into both water and a damage zone.

If you'd like to contact me in game, my info is:

Name: °Core°
BLID: 11953

Thanks in advance.

This was your best/most helpful idea yet :)
I really hope this is possible.

Lol at Wheatley ;D

This is why we have autowrench. RTB it.

Why is this in General Discussion?

Not really. This is less flexible but much faster to use.

Yeah it's possible, I have something similar implemented on my server, planned on adding an entire paint column for it, but I only added a single color for the water effect, the one that's similar to undulo and I think otherwise only available through an event.

Perhaps if I get to it, I could fix up the glitches, and add some sort of easy way for the user to make their own special effects.

Wait doesn't this belong is Suggestions and Requests?

Indeed.

No. We are talking for my server here, along with others due to the eventual usefullness of this script. And I have been autowrenching. However, that is not extremely helpful because Im making antiportal bricks, and therefore have to name sections of antiportal bricks at a time. For Level 9 test chamber alone, I had 500 autowrenched (named) antiportal bricks.

I really wish people would think before they post. No, because it is a question and discussion, not a suggestion or request. Did he request this script anywhere in the OP? No, he was wondering if this concept is possible. We are willing to script it.

Autowrench doesn't help much. Then you need to activate every damn brick.

No, the idea was that "if the brick is colorwhatever, then the brick automatically has propertieswhatever."

In Wesley's case, it would automatically make Greyscale-8 on Trueno's colorset antiportal, or something to that extent.

Of course, it can have many other properties.

Anyway, Headcrab, I suppose it's good I wasn't the only one who thought of this.
It'd be nice to see if you ever host.

This could be done with autowrench if someone had taken on my suggestion...

Especially DO

Pecon7, that is not at all what we're wondering is possible. In any case, Core's got the general theory down and will be attempting this shortly. If anyone would like to post a possibility please do.

Also, HCZ, what's your name in game? It would be nice to see how yours works.

Did'nt Zach0Wach0 already say its possible?

Wasn't there a hard limit of like a 1000 for named bricks?

Yes, it's very easy like I said in the server. But do you want it as some sort of mod that everyone can use or just a script that you can use? Because if you want it as a public mod, I have no idea how you would control what colour has what.
