Author Topic: Blockland Simple Script Editor  (Read 2534 times)

Now you may probably think this is stupid since you could just use notepad, but I'm thinking there should be a script editor specially made for blockland scripting. From what I've seen it's simply knowing the commands in the game and typing them into a text editor and saving it as [dot]CS.

Why not have something generate the text for you?

It's (very) hard to explain...

So if we wanna make a player type with 500 health we simply go into the editor, create a new Playertype datablock, there will be a bunch of text boxes and you simply type in the numbers you want.
500 forward speed
500 health
Jet lasts for 10 seconds
Etc, blah blah.

Same for weapons.
___ Damage
___ Range
___Firing Rate
___ Etc

Maybe have a program do all the fancy bracket, semicolon, bracket, maths, e=mc3-type stuff for ya.

Otherwise we probably need template scripts for everything.

that's barely what scripting is

It's kinda like Object properties in FPS Creator.
HOW MUCH DAMAGE U WANT?
HOW MUCH AMMO U WANT?

playertypes and weapons are only two types of mods and unless you're making default edits or simple weapons this couldn't be made remotely useful

Then we need a full list of all datablock commands and some tutorials!

Do not ever mention /b/...

the easiest way to learn how to code is to download a view addons which do a similar thing to what you want, and to use trace

It's more beneficial to all involved for you to learn how to actually code it yourself

Yea, it is much better if you truly understand what exactly is happening in the script that you are making rather than being spoon fed a tutorial.
