Decoration Placement Different from Script

[Lark]

I want to make an alcove (one square "room") with different walls from a script. I have defined a custom object as follows - while I want a different image (rough wooden walls without pillars), that's well beyond me for now:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
  name = "plating",
  class = "Decoration",
  model = "assets/models/env/prison_secret_door.fbx",
  replacesWall = true,
  placement = "wall",
  editorIcon = 92  
  }

If I place the item using the editor, everything looks as desired (for now):

However, I want to place the different walls automatically via a script that does other things too:'

Code: Select all

spawn("plating", self.level, self.x, self.y, (self.facing+1)%4)
spawn("plating", self.level, self.x, self.y, (self.facing+2)%4)
spawn("plating", self.level, self.x, self.y, (self.facing+3)%4)

...but I get bad results:

Can anyone help? Thank you! -Lark

I don't believe you can replace walls one the map has been loaded

you've given me another alcove idea. :0
If it works, I'll post about it.

Thank you, Lmaoboat. That does make sense now. I guess I'll just have to place these manually until I can get some custom graphics going.

I love your alcoves, Neikun! Thank you for all of your efforts.

I really need custom graphics for this project, but the plates look better than stone for now. I can do the 2D graphics, but I still don't have any idea how to turn them into a model that I can import. I think I need to wait for more tools to be developed. I'll keep working on my scripting and get to that later. Thanks, -Lark

If you have the room, you could just place empty squares around it so there's no walls there.
