Author Topic: Building Spaces?  (Read 1752 times)

I didn't know where to put this or if this has been ask before or even if this is a stupid question, but can you create build spaces? I'm not sure how to explain this, so I'm just going to tell you my idea. The host makes 1 long street. Then anyone who joins the server is assigned a square (I forget the size, something like 32x32 or something) and the player's job is to build a building in that square on the street. You can use as little or as much of that square as you want, but you can't go over your boundery. You can make the building as tall as you want, but you can only make 1 building. Then you get a bunch of people to build there building and after a while, you have a whole city full of unique buildings.

i kinda do that on my server. i made platforms that people place a 32x32 plate on to work on something.
but i have to build trust them


i think what you can do, is lay out streets and such, all the "public admin owned area" and leave gaps for players.
they can just stick in a base plate in the holes and no need for trust.
easier then having them build on top of your pre-placed bases.
the city would look like a gapped checker board till people start building up

but they would be confined to their base, and wouldn't even be able to build up onto the sidewalk of the road plates.
the "sidewalks" of the road plates look nice to, because people for some reason always build houses to the complete edge of their plate, and look terrible when next to each other.

or something similar

Rise of Blockland had a whole city for running a city. Players would own a business(s) and a home(s) and would gradually accumulate wealth. The objective was to sell your goods to others in the city.

You could only build within the grid of the city.

It's very possible to make a script give someone a piece of land... I haven't seen one released, though.

Wouldn't be very hard. Just have the baseplate's owner change.

Someones making one. You stand on the base plate, and it asks you to buy it.

Wow, you play at a giant size bisjac :P


I don't have retail yet (Still saving for my Laptop), but could the admin (being Me) own everything, then give seperate baseplates to people? That way I choose who owns what?


How the heck do you get it that big? Mine will only go 1024X768.

spation I can't make mine that large either.

Sorry for double post but, once I'm back in the us I will make this script for you that once you step on a plate you can buy it and you can own as many as you want. I will try to make the script as simple as possible so that you can change the cost.

Depends on your computer, really.
