missing something in the script

[Furling²]

I wrote this the script for footprint.

server.cs

function serverCmdDFPrint(%player)

datablock PlayerData(defaultfootprintParticle){}

{
    diffuseMap[0] = "footprint";
    vertColor[0] = true;
    translucent = true;
    castShadows = "0";
    translucentZWrite = "1";
    materialTag0 = "Player";
    decalOffset = "1";
   dustEmitter = "1";
   footPuffEmitter = "1";
   footPuffNumParts = "1";
   footPuffRadius = "5.0";
};

I tired fix it, but it keep say syntax errors.

remove the {}

before

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(defaultfootprintParticle){}

{
after

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(defaultfootprintParticle) {
edit: I think the above function serverCmdDFPrint(%player) also needs to be opened with { and closed but I could be mistaken

[Thorfin25]

This and you did forget to open the function with {

[Furling²]

fix it and other issue error

1. You can't define a datablock inside a function like that
2. You didn't put the datablock properties inside the datablock brackets

[alex dude]

from the looks of that error, it seems you have placed the properties of this datablock outside of the curly braces {} < these
making a function? start and end it with curly braces, like this:

Code: [Select]

function harold(%this) {
   echo("you called me!");
} //END WITH CURLY BRACES
Edit:
Your footprint particle datablock:

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(defaultfootprintParticle){
    diffuseMap[0] = "footprint";
    vertColor[0] = true;
    translucent = true;
    castShadows = "0";
    translucentZWrite = "1";
    materialTag0 = "Player";
    decalOffset = "1";
    dustEmitter = "1";
    footPuffEmitter = "1";
    footPuffNumParts = "1";
    footPuffRadius = "5.0";
};
Your function to call it (doing /dfprint)

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdDFPrint(%player) {
   //do you want to assign this to the player here?
}
I can't seem to find the footprint add-on to see what you are trying to do, if you could link it here it would be easier.

page 105 (Footprints and -puffs) line script. How I discovered this? I was use torque engine open source, I saw the player walking as foot print behind trails.

original script: Material.cs
new Material(CommonPlayerFootprint)
{
   diffuseMap[0] = "footprint";
   vertColor[0] = true;
   translucent = true;
   castShadows = "0";
   translucentZWrite = "1";
   materialTag0 = "Player";
};

Download link of open source https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/archive/development.zip
you have set it up to install it then you will find the path folder ( Torque3D-3-6-1-FullTemplate>art>shapes>actors>common) If you want test player walking around with the footprint, you have run Torque 3D.exe

I have tested your script has error of the close line of };

[portify]

This is not Torque 3D. While yes, TGE had footsteps, they only work on terrain and interiors as far as I can tell, and require the DecalData system that Badspot removed.

[Headcrab Zombie]

new Material(CommonPlayerFootprint)

This is not Torque 3D.

This
"Material" is not a valid class in the version of Torque that Blockland uses

[Furling²]

This
"Material" is not a valid class in the version of Torque that Blockland uses

okay what are you suggest fix the script lines?

[Dannu]

This Torque version does not have the required features for this to work and as Port said:

DecalData system that Badspot removed.
