Annoying Reproduceable %brick.plant(); Problem -Fixed without a single clue how-

[Pie Crust]

Long story short: it's not calling plant();.

But not with all of the bricks. I'm using the same snippet of code from the other topic but one brick of the entire structure (seems to be the 4th one) isn't planted. The ghost appears but it's not plated. I've set a series of echoes to pin down the problem and I have it. It's not calling plant(); but the same function is being executed with the other bricks in the array and they get planted without a problem. Here's the console part

Code: [Select]

%newbrick = new fxDTSBrick() {
dataBlock = %data;
scale = "1 1 1";
client = %client;
stackBL_ID = %client.BL_ID;
angleID = "0";
colorID = %col;
colorFXID = "0";
shapeFXID = "0";
rotation = "0 0 0 0";
print = %print;
};
echo("Make " @ %newbrick);
%pos = strreplace(%brk.position, " ", "\t");
%bx = getField(%pos,0);
%by = getField(%pos,1);
%bz = getField(%pos,2);
%newbrick.setTransform(%bx+%rx SPC %by+%ry SPC %bz+%rz);
echo("////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////");
%newbrick.plant();
echo("Plant " @ %newbrick);
%newbrick.setTrusted(1);

And here's the code part

Note: If you're going to post "set isPlanted=true; in the new fxdtsbrick function", don't bother.

I can reproduce this and it seems to happen when the structure is rotated south and in the deletion confirmation only. Otherwise, that brick gets planted without a problem.

Also, anyone know what the error values that onPlant(); returns mean?

I have no loving clue how I fixed it but the problem no longer persists after modifying the base's datablock.

[Greek2me]

You should describe what you modified to make it work.

};
and modified buildComplexBrick(); to use datablocks instead of objects. Instead of
buildComplexBrick(%brk, %client, %i, %dir, %tmp);

I now have

buildComplexBrick(%db, %client, %i, %dir, %tmp, %obj);

to be able to call this function with tools and fair enough, it works wonderfully. I tried it with 7 different scriptobjects.

[Shappeh]

Try putting %brick.setTrusted(1); in front of %brick.plant();

I've had issues with this in the past and it appeared to fix it.

[boodals 2]

Yeah, afaik you'll always want to do %brick.setTrusted(1); when planting bricks with code. I ran into an issue recently where i couldnt plant two bricks next to each other, took me a day and a half to realize that the if statement that housed the %brick.setTrusted(1); wasn't correct, very frustrating.

[Pie Crust]

But it's working flawlessly now and %brick.setTrusted(); is after %brick.plant();

Take into account that all of the bricks are going to be in the same brickgroup.
