Author Topic: JVS stone door  (Read 2344 times)

JVS stands for jedi vs. sith... isn't that star wars?
what do you think JVS means, or where did you see it being used?

Wouldn't that ideally be JvS?

Yes, but I think we're getting off-topic here.

Why is it stupid? It's the name that has been associated by it. It's like calling tissues a "Kleenex", a soda a "coke", or a building block a "lego".
those are stupid too, by the way
I don't think you understand.  JVS Content is a system designed by Trader and Kaje that allows for special animated and interactive bricks such as doors, switches, etc.  It has nothing to do with Jedi vs. Sith.  Get Star Wars out of your head.  We're not talking about it here.
it had everything to do with it, you just don't know the history well apparently

No, it doesn't.  I understand that JVS can stand for Jedi Vs. Sith, but that's not what I'm referring to.  I'm talking about the JVS Content system for Blockland, and proposing a stone door that looks just like a 1x6x5 brick.



Dumbass.

All of you shut up and get back on topic please.

You might be able to do something like this with a sliding door that's camoflagued into the wall. Oncontentstart -> Self -> SetRendering [_]
Oncontentstop -> Self -> SetRendering [X]

Unless I'm misunderstanding the point here.

Actually, LEGO is an Adjective. You're not even really supposed to call the company's products that.  It's a LEGO Brick. Not a LEGO.

For the love of-

Sigh. Grammar national socialist much?

It wouldn't be the same.  You would be able to see the actual sliding door itself, and the brick itself wouldn't appear to go anywhere, just disappear.

What I want is something that looks just like a 1x6x5 brick, even though the brick itself isn't being rendered.  When the content starts, by default triggered by activating it, the brick appears to slide sideways, creating a scraping sound and booming when it stops.

As is, the best you can do is make an ordinary 1x6x5 brick that disappears for a few seconds and plays the manhole cover sound when activated.

I'm working on one for you now, it's far from perfect, I'm uploading a video of it, here you go: http://youtu.be/PPz57RCt6rQ
Tell me how to improve it please :D

It looks great.  Since you asked how you could improve it, it's a bit fast.  A bit really fast.  Slow it way down and it's perfect.

I noticed you said you would fix the color.  What exactly would that entail?  I hope you mean it would be uncolored, so it would appear to be the same color as adjacent bricks painted with the same color.

Does it have textures?  If not, it might be a bit noticably blank among other bricks.

That is awesome, Alex

Yeah, i'll slow down the animation.

Notice the door is quite a light gray compared to the others? If you don't mind it it won't be a problem i guess.

I'll try adding the brick side texture to it, can't promise anything, first JVS brick iv'e ever attempted so it's all a learning experience.

Progress:
Slowed down the animation and made it more fluent, now working on the colour, here's a video of two of the same door working with events: (Sorry about the quality, I'm short on time)
