Brick Creation: CreateBrick

Pages: (1/1)

Xalos:

I posted this in another thread but I feel it deserves its own thread. After all, I use this code a lot and I feel that many others would find it useful as well.


--- Code: ("Create Brick") ---function createBrick(%cl, %data, %pos, %color, %angleID)
{

   //This function was made by Xalos.
   //Its purpose is to create a brick owned by a player on which they are able to build.

   if(!isObject(%data) || %data.getClassName() !$= "fxDTSBrickData")
      return -1;
   if(getWordCount(%pos) != 3)
      return -1;
   if(%angleID $= "")
      %angleID = 0;
   if(isObject(%cl) && (%cl.getClassName() $= "GameConnection" | %cl.getClassName() $= "AIConnection"))
   {
      %blid = %cl.bl_id;
      if(%blid $= "")
         %blid = -1;
      %flag = 1;
   }
   else if(isObject(%cl) && %cl.getClassName() $= "SimGroup" && MainBrickgroup.isMember(%cl))
      %group = %cl;
   else
      %cl = 0;
   switch(%angleID)
   {
      case 0:
         %rot = "1 0 0 0";
      case 1:
         %rot = "0 0 1 90";
      case 2:
         %rot = "0 0 1 180";
      case 3:
         %rot = "0 0 -1 90";
   }
   (%brick = new fxDtsBrick()
   {
      client = %cl;
      colorFxID = 0;
      colorID = %color;
      datablock = %data;
      isPlanted = 1;
      position = getWord(%pos, 0) SPC getWord(%pos, 1) SPC getWord(%pos, 2);
      rotation = %rot;
      shapeFxID = 0;
      stackBL_ID = %blid;
   }).angleID = %angleID;
   %err = %brick.plant();
   %brick.setTrusted(1);
   missionCleanup.add(%brick);
   if(%flag)
      %cl.brickgroup.add(%brick);
   else if(isObject(%group))
      %group.add(%brick);
   return %brick TAB %err;
}

--- End code ---

createBrick(findClientByName(Xal), brick2x4Data, "0 0 4", 5, 1);

Cool.  :cookieMonster:

1. You're supposed to call setTrusted before planting the brick.
2. You shouldn't include shortened code in a sample, even more considering the shortened code you have is pointless (why not just include the angleID in the constructor?)

1. I've tested this and I'm able to plant bricks on the bricks I make with this. What do you think the errors of calling setTrusted after planting the brick are?
2. I was having problems with the bricks being rotated wrongly, so I was trying different things to fix the problem. One of them was to try moving the angleID definition out of the brick.
