Looks useful, except I have absolutely no idea on how to use tables.
Help please?

What exactly is your intended use of the test?

Hi all.

Has anyone got these objects with the Scrips, Models and Textures: ball_chain and trap_trigger_pendulum?

They were on the forum ages ago and I did have them but, had hard drive problems.

Hi All
Has anyone got a LOG 2 working 'leech_worm' scripts, model, and textures? I had found one way back but does not seem to work
Any help appreciated thx in advance.

Here is my definition.
You have to define a new attack sound (like i did) or enter one of the existing sounds.

And of course you have to have the model and the texture-files.

You know how to script a new monster into your mod?

EDIT: Sorry, I see, you don't have the needed files. If you PM me an email-adress, I can send them to you.

Code: Select all

	defineSound{
		name = "worm_attack_DM",
		filename = "mod_assets/monsters/worm/DM_worm.wav",
		loop = false,
		volume = 1,
		minDistance = 1,
		maxDistance = 4,
	}


defineObject{
	name = "worm",

If I import your leech worm it works, but gives the error "cant find a head node" and all if it's attacks miss the party

how do I fix this?

[THOM]

concerning question on:
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=7997&p=90818#p90818

concerning question two:
I have no idea.

Maybe it has something to do that I also use the LoG1 Snail with all it's definitions. Probably the animation definitions are requiered here...

[Isaac]

One also needs the animation events defined for each attack ~or they don't happen, and the monster never hits or does damage.

Animation events are monster specific ~technically per fbx file.
You define the fbx for the event, the event, and the animation frame that the event takes place at...
(Where it happens during the animation.)

example from the snail:

Code: Select all

defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "assets/animations/monsters/snail/snail_attack.fbx",
	event = "attack",
	frame = 13,
}

Hi THOM
I got the leech worm working OK, but had to alter attack sound to 'snail_attack' as I did not have DM_worm wav file.
So once again thx for your help.
