Author Topic: Avatar Save/Load Events  (Read 3000 times)

Was looking for events with the following functionality

-You click a brick to save your appearance

-You click a brick to load your appearance

-Even if you leave the server, you can re-join and load your appearance later.

I found this https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=303040.0 but the functionality is broken. The hook-hand and other nodes don't load properly, and it's basically like a one-time load.

I have a fixed version of this add on. I will post it tomorrow.


or:

https://github.com/Elmling/Avatar_API
How can I use this to accomplish Save/Load Appearance for other players that join my server?

Never-mind. The version I have is messed up too.
But you can accomplish this with swallows set appearance events and Rotondos set appearance events, Though I recommend Avatar API too.

To restore the players appearance do OnActivate>Player>RestoreApearence
To set the players Appearance, do OnActivate>Player>SetApearence[][][] (It works like the bots.)

As I said above, Swollow's events are broken. And by the way, Gothboy is the one who released the setPlayerAppearance event. https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=292433.0

Might be able to make this work

Swollows are not broken for me, :). And look in the desc of SetPlayerApearence, it says rotondo

how are they "broken"? they work fine for me

My hook hand doesn't reload, and console errors when using restoreAppearance.

Did you even read the OP?

Then Use Rotondos and swollows! Its that easy.

No, it's not. You don't understand what he is asking for. He wants to be able to save and load the player appearance via the click of a brick.

The setPlayerAppearance Event that I ripped from bot holes will SET your appearance, but it will not SAVE it. The playerBotPlus event I released which were ripped from v6 amades bot events also SET and do NOT SAVE your avatar appearance - unless paired with VCE which can lead to a long list of eventing.

Swollow's events look promising, but I tested them in-game and discovered that push and pop appearance do (seemingly) nothing, restoring the players avatar is slightly broken because it looks for node "none" when it shouldn't (console errors)
Also, the setFaceDefault and setDecalDefault should be merged with the setFaceCustom and setDecalCustom events - it makes no sense to use both a drop down list and a string method, when they could just as easily type in the name of a default face

Deo, I'll have you an avatar saving/loading/editing system soon bro
doing that stuff with VCE is just annoying !

No... No it's not....  *facepalm*

I'm really not sure what was so hard to comprehend here, but Gothboy hit the nail on the head. Thanks bro!

Oh... That mod was broken forever.

I mean first off everything works fine for me on a default installation without console errors, push and pop avatars definitely works, and the drop down methods simplify it for people who haven't memorized or dont want to open their addon installation to find the names of faces and decals
