Image mount on spawn?

[Thorax]

I have a weapon that I want to color shift the same color as the player's helmet's current color. Anyone know how to do this?

Currently impossible.

[lilboarder32]

Currently impossible.

By currently, do you mean this might be added in a future update?

There are no plans to implement this as of yet, but;

If you find something Badspot really wants badly then you can probably trade it to him for this feature to be implemented. Although I think anything he wants can be bought using funds from his bathtub of Blockland earnings so this may not be a viable plan.

On the flipside you can always blackmail Kompressor as he has some good leverage in that department. I suggest taking his cat Tiffany hostage. She never disappoints!

[Thorax]

Ok then, I'm going to have to find another way. Don't be surprised if you see any pictures pop up of Tiffany balancing on very tall objects... Wearing socks!

I found another way, but I need some help.

Code: [Select]

datablock PlayerData(PlayerMjolnir : PlayerStandardArmor)
{
runForce = 48 * 90;
runEnergyDrain = 0;
minRunEnergy = 0;
maxForwardSpeed = 7;
maxBackwardSpeed = 4;
maxSideSpeed = 6;
maxForwardCrouchSpeed = 3;
maxBackwardCrouchSpeed = 2;
maxSideCrouchSpeed = 2;

minJetEnergy = 0;
jetEnergyDrain = 0;
canJet = 0;

uiName = "Mjolnir Armor Player";
maxDamage = "115";
showEnergyBar = true;
maxTools = "6";
maxItems = "6";
rechargeRate = "28.75";
};

datablock ShapeBaseImageData(HelmImage)
{
shapeFile = "./HelmGreen.dts";
emap = true;
mountPoint = $HeadSlot;
offset = "0 0.02 0.3";
eyeOffset = "0 0 0.4";
rotation = eulerToMatrix("0 0 0");
scale = "0.1 0.1 0.1";
doColorShift = true;
colorShiftColor = "0.034 0.069 0.069 1.000";
};

function serverCmdHelm(%client)
{
%player = %client.player;

if(isObject(%player))
{
if(%player.getMountedImage(2) $= nametoID(HelmImage))
{
%player.unmountImage(2);
%client.applyBodyParts();
%client.applyBodyColors();
}
else
{
%player.unmountImage(2);
%player.mountImage(MadHatterImage,2);

for(%i = 0;$hat[%i] !$= "";%i++)
{
%player.hideNode($hat[%i]);
%player.hideNode($accent[%i]);
}
}
}
}

I want it to mount the Helm when you spawn as the playertype, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Code: [Select]

function playerMjolnir::onAdd(%this, %obj)
{
   %obj.mountImage(2, HelmImage);
   parent::onAdd(%this, %obj);
}

[Thorax]

It didn't work. Would you mind setting up the script exactly how it's supposed to be?

[Amade]

It didn't work because the way I set it up requires a minigame because you have to actually spawn as the playertype.

Code: [Select]

package mountOnSpawn
{
   function armor::changeDatablock(%this, %obj, %newData) //I think
   {
      if(%newData == playerMjolnir.getID())
      {
         %obj.mountImage(2, HelmImage);
      }
      parent::changeDatablock(%this, %obj, %newData);
   }
   function playerMjolnir::onAdd(%this, %obj)
   {
      %obj.mountImage(2, HelmImage);
      parent::onAdd(%this, %obj);
   }
};
activatePackage(mountOnSpawn);

I was using a minigame and did spawn as the playertype. But whatever. Thanks again.

Still not working. I modified Warren's Mad Hatter Hat and it worked perfectly,  but other than that, it won't load with the playertype.
