--Original post--
I know when I played Legend of Grimrock, I thought the catacombs were going to be interactive.
Now that we've been given an editor, it's very easy to do it ourselves! =D

Here's a empty dungeon catacomb turned into alcove, and tweaked to prevent clipping by a placed object.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "dungeon_catacomb_alcove",
	class = "Alcove",
	anchorPos = vec(0, 0.75, 0.2),
	targetPos = vec(0,1.3,0),
	targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.5, 0.6),
	model = "assets/models/env/dungeon_catacomb_empty.fbx",
	placement = "wall",
	replacesWall = true,
	editorIcon = 92,
}

Unfortunately, I am only able to place things in dead-centre of the shelf.
And Idea how I might be able to change that to something wider?

[ScroLL]

Nice work! Maybe changing targetSize will work? Not sure what that function is for...

[Batty]

Very nice, no visual problems with this change, just added it to my scripts!

I *thought* I saw a thread on widening the alcove box...

[Lmaoboat]

Trying increasing the dimensions of the targetSize, that's the one that defines the click box for placing items.

[Neikun]

I am currently searching through every post in the modding forum containing the word alcove.

Here's a thought though, what if I made a prison_bench into an alcove just for fits and wiggles? (not sure if I should swear as I normally do)
*Noted, Chuckleship.

[Neikun]

Changing the parameters of targetSize has yielded no changes

[Lmaoboat]

Well if you meant placing things in several places within the alcove, you'd need to use several different alcoves, like I did here:
viewtopic.php?p=32847#p32847
You'd still need to adjust the values to match that catacombs though.

[Neikun]

They don't want to work right when they're on top of each other.

[Batty]

And I was just filling a room with prison benches...

Code: Select all

defineObject{
   	name = "dungeon_prison_bench_alcove",
   	class = "Alcove",
   	anchorPos = vec(0, 0.65, -0.2),
   	targetPos = vec(0, 1, 0),
   	targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.3, 0.6),
   	model = "assets/models/env/prison_chair.fbx",
   	placement = "wall",
   	replacesWall = false,
   	editorIcon = 92,
}

Tested with a few objects, seems to be problem free.

love the bench alcove.
