Hi - daft question - ocean over a heightmap beach coast - any reason I'm getting black bands in the little region at the edge of the water between where the waves recede and advance to? Thanks in advance.

reflection doesn't work properly in the editor preview port because parts of the game think it's at a different resolution than it actually is (this is also why gui elements don't draw in the correct positions/sizes). press f to expand it to the whole window and the problem will go away

Call GameMode.completeGame() when you are ready to end the game.

Optionally, you can include an ending video as an argument.
GameMode.completeGame(video_path_string)

I want to use a scriptable wizard, but I wonder about 3 monster's actions which seems to be identical except the animation: "escape", "crystal" and "letter". I don't remenber how they are used in the main game (if they are...). Does anyone knows how wizard's brain select one of them (hardcoded or by additional script) and if animation is the only difference, what each one do?

These animations are used in the main campaign at several places for storytelling purposes when the party can / will run into the wizard. None of them is combat related so they can only be accessed by scripting. For example the letter deposite scene when the party enters Sleet Island the first time is executed by calling wizard_lake.brain:performAction("letter")

Hi, new person here.

How would I get the letter in the tree, i.e., treat it like a normal alcove, without the wizard coding?

Hi, welcome to the forums.

The letter (and map) are simply placed next to the tree, the tree is not an alcove so a script is used to move the letter into place so it looks like it is sticking out from the tree hole.

this is the code from the original campaign, movemap is called with a small delay that moves the letter and map into the correct position for that given situation, your coordinates will have to be placed into the script.
the other function called action is triggered by a floor_trigger and performs the animation of the wizard and you can simply remove that if you don't want the wizard coding.

Code: Select all

delayedCall(self.go.id, 1, "moveMap")

function action()
	wizard_lake_light.pointlight:fadeOut(4)
	if wizard_lake then wizard_lake.brain:performAction("letter") end
end

function moveMap()
	tree_hole_letter_2:setWorldPosition(vec(23.6, 1.65, 16.72-0.35))
	tree_hole_letter_2:setWorldRotationAnglesWithOrder(60, 125-90, 20, "xzy")

	island_map_1:setWorldPosition(vec(23.6, 1.65, 16.72-0.4))
	island_map_1:setWorldRotationAnglesWithOrder(55, 140-90, 25, "xzy")
end

Hope that helps.

It seems that onComputeAccuracy and onComputeCritChance when used in skils are only called when the stat panel is visible. Is this correct? I sure hope not...

Edit:

Okay, I'm officially an idiot I was testing onComputeAccuracy and onComputeCritChance with melee weapons, and for those these events only happen when you hit something

It is not correct. They are also called whenever an attack is made that could potentially hit a monster. And presumably in any other circumstance where accuracy/crit matters.

Thanks, I was testing it with melee attacks and wondering why it didn't print anything
