datablock TSShapeConstructor(Mask_TophatData)
{
	baseShape = "./tophat.dts";
	//sequence0 = "./root.dsq root";
};

datablock PlayerData(Mask_TopHatBot : PlayerNoJet)
{
	class = "MaskData";
	shapeFile = "./tophat.dts";
	dustEmitter = LiftoffDustEmitter;

	Mask_slot = 5;

	Mask_nodeCount = 3;

	Mask_node[0] = "black";
	Mask_nodeColor[0] = "0 0 0 1";

	Mask_node[1] = "hat";
	Mask_nodeInherit[1] = "hat";

	Mask_node[2] = "accent";
	Mask_nodeInherit[2] = "accent";
};

this is essentially how i initiallize hats as bots n stuff. the model is almost identical to like hatmod, but i take every colored part and make it its own object, which can later be changed through setNodeColor();

the mask_node

stuff is the name of the object/node on that hat, and nodeinherit is the part of the player that it will inherit the color of. for example, mask_nodeInherit[1] = "hat"; will take the player's hat color and apply it to that object.

then i create it in game using %mask = new AiPlayer() { datablock = %thedataiuseforthemask; class = "MaskBot"; }; and use mountObject to mount the bot to the player (as if it was a hat)

Code: [Select]

function AiPlayer::Mask_applyColors(%this,%obj)
{
	if(%this.class !$= "MaskBot")
		return;

	%data = %this.getDatablock();
	for(%i=0; %i < %data.Mask_nodeCount; %i++)
	{
		if(%data.Mask_nodeInherit[%i] !$= "")
		{
			if(%data.Mask_nodeSubtractiveColor[%i] !$= ""){
				//announce(%data.mask_nodeInherit[%i] SPC Mask_SubtractiveColor(%obj.client.hatcolor,%data.Mask_nodeSubtractiveColor[%i]));
				eval("%this.setNodeColor(%data.Mask_node[%i],Mask_subtractiveColor(%obj.client." @ %data.Mask_nodeInherit[%i] @ "color,%data.Mask_nodeSubtractiveColor[%i]));"); }
			else
				eval("%this.setNodeColor(%data.Mask_node[%i],getWords(%obj.client." @ %data.Mask_nodeInherit[%i] @ "color,0,2) SPC 1);");
		}
		else if(%data.Mask_nodeColor[%i] !$= "")
			%this.setNodeColor(%data.Mask_node[%i],%data.Mask_nodeColor[%i]);
	}
	%obj.client.applyBodyColors();
	%obj.hideNode("visor");
	%obj.hideNode("plume");
	%obj.hideNode("triplume");
	%obj.hideNode("septplume");
	%obj.hideNode("helmet");
	%obj.hideNode("pointyHelmet");
	%obj.hideNode("flareHelmet");
	%obj.hideNode("bicorn");
	%obj.hideNode("cophat");
	%obj.hideNode("knithat");
	%obj.hideNode("scouthat");
}

most of this is gibberish but i just check for values like Mask_node and values and recolor them based on the data it reads. also i hide every hat/bicorn/visor the player has on. then i just call the above every time the player changes their avatar to ensure it updates the colors every time you make a change

its essentially the same principle as hatmod- mount the hat to the player. the only difference is that the hats are more complex to make, they can actually be shot off of your head, and they need to be manually colored either through code or by a file of some sort.

unfortunately, you can't wear more than one bothat because every bot you mount after the first will be visible in first person, so your view will be entirely obstructed/it will look very buggy

Give the bot hat a mount point, and let other hats mount to it

i feel like you can set it up in a better way to not require eval... but ok. works i guess.

still wont work, you can only have one bot mounted to you that is invisible in first person.
