Author Topic: Request: Message Brick  (Read 1238 times)

If someone can make a "Message Brick". My request is that you can spawn a special brick. And that brick has a script combined with it. And that script allows you to write a message.And when someone wants to read it they click on it or hit it. And if possible can the brick have a icon on the brick itself so someone knows it's a message brick not just a building brick.
Positive:
1. Instead of making a million print bricks to make a rule board or a price list.
2. Instead of telling people the rules over and over they read the rules. (kinda conflicts with #1)


Negative:
1. Spam, thats the only one i could think of.


Details:
Always a white brick.
Just like scribbles on it, to make it look like writing.
Make it a plate brick, possibly the square brick the 2x2.

It has been done, I think Space Guy did it. I don't know where the post is though, sorry.

it is outdated and we have GUI's and scripts for rules and shops.

you got a link for some of them?

Would be pretty kickass if you're trying to make a Myst RPG though!! ^_^

The "Message Brick" Add-On I had (and the "Message Brick+" edit to it by MrWallet) do not work any more since Blockland v1.03 was released - the message became invisible as the item was embedded in the brick when blank.dts changed.

Spaceguy, couldn't you have it so the message is offset, like an item?

I was attempting to make RTB style message bricks but it didn't work D:

The problem with this is that a space in the chat box makes a new arg in the function. So unless you were using a GUI for this, you're going to have a word limit. (Unless you know how to use console.)
