Author Topic: [Tutorial] Hologram Bricks  (Read 2829 times)

Earlier today, i was messing with events and using relays, and came across a way to make the bricks look and seem like holograms, so i thought i'd make a video tutorial for it :D

Text tutorial
Use the wrench on a brick, and disable Ray Casting and Collision, this is optional, then go to the Events menu and put this in

[ON] onActivate - Self - fireRelay
[ON] onRelay - Self - fireRelay
[ON] onRelay - setColor - Any solid color
[OFF] onRelay - setColor - Any transparent color, i suggest trans white or black
[ON] onRelay - Self - toggleEventEnabled 2 3

Good job mate. I'm using this.

Edit: Are you gonna make more tutorials like this in the future?

I don't think so, i was only experimenting when i found this out, but if i do find out more interesting stuff, i may make a tutorial for it :)

Messing in Blockland is learning?

this is kinda pointless, and easy, but still nice in it's own way

Awesome, I'm not always event-savvy, so this helped a lot.

This kind of event usage munches your event quota up very fast, since it's calling the relay every 33 milliseconds. Though, it does look pretty I admit.

thats really cool.Useful for futureistic builds.

That's how i learned how to make hologram bricks, so i guess! :D

Yeah, that's the problem, but without the relay, it wouldn't look like a hologram, unfortunately :(

name the bricks and relay one for all?

Well sir, that is what you have the advanced options for :D I also think RTB has quota changer

I can't do it. I have the demo and there is no set color event for the second slot. Also, how is it like a hologram? can you walk through it?

Watch the video.
This is awesome by the way.
