How could I add and remove events from bricks via code? - Solved

/title

I want to add an event to a brick when something happens and delete said event when something else happens.

There's a bunch of event related fields on the brick. Start by dumping a brick object and looking through them.

With your specific example, though, I'd just enable/disable the event, rather than adding and removing it.

[Pastrey Crust]

I'd rather not have every brick placed in the world added those events while only ~5% will actually need it. Helps cut down save file size with the already massive terrain.

How would you want it to be removed? Index number of the event?

[Pastrey Crust]

Yeah, I want to add

OnPlayerTouch -> Player -> Burn
OnPlayerTouch -> Player -> AddHealth [-5]

and then remove those later on.

Look at the checkpoint add-on, it adds an event when it gets placed you can learn from that.

[Pastrey Crust]

So this would be

Code: [Select]

%obj.enableTouch = true;
%obj.addEvent(true, 0, "OnPlayerTouch", "Player", "BurnPlayer");
%obj.addEvent(true, 0, "OnPlayerTouch", "Player", "AddHealth",-5);

But I don't see a removeEvent/deleteEvent by pressing TAB on the console. :S

AssHealth [-5]

where's that event, I can't find it anywhere

[Crøwn]

So this would be

Code: [Select]

%obj.enableTouch = true;
%obj.addEvent(true, 0, "OnPlayerTouch", "Player", "BurnPlayer");
%obj.addEvent(true, 0, "OnPlayerTouch", "Player", "AddHealth",-5);

But I don't see a removeEvent/deleteEvent by pressing TAB on the console. :S

Go ingame and place a brick. Use /getid on it and type it's ID.dump(); in the console to see all the functions it has. Pressing tab doesn't show functions like fxDTSBrick::addEvent()

[Pastrey Crust]

ah yes, typo

Go ingame and place a brick. Use /getid on it and type it's ID.dump(); in the console to see all the functions it has. Pressing tab doesn't show functions like fxDTSBrick::addEvent()

It does if you put the first letter of the function such as

fxDTSBrick::s
TAB
fxDTSBrick::setColor
TAB
fxDTSBrick::setEmitter
and so on.


Also it doesn't show up in a dump.

nvm, clearEvents();

I'm pretty sure addEvent isn't a default function, always be aware of things like this. It helps to develop things with other add-ons disabled.

[Pastrey Crust]

addEvent is in the Checkpoint brick and in the dump when I didn't have the checkpoint enabled so it's safe to say that it is.

It is.

[Shift Kitty]

Ah, good to know.

[Conan]

wha
addevent exists??

...goddamnit i didn't actually have to manually add the variables to the brick wtf
that would have simplified the prop tool event support by a lot. oh well.
