The Custom Alcove Thread. (Neikun, Batty and Crisman)

[Neikun]

h I see I problem I will have to nip in the bud straight away.
You seem to think the term "waltar" refers to alcoves. It is merely a portmanteau of wall and altar, and only refers to the alcove of an altar attached to a wall.

I think a table could be a very good idea, but the box for script would be cramped/ throws off the organization aspect of having a table.

In the bulk alcove.lua I've provided in the first post, I think the names are well chosen to describe where they should be placed for best results.

As for not wanting to d/l the entire pack, it is literally only like 100kb. A user could download the large pack, delete what they won't use and carry on.

I had an idea just now.

Corpse (from a catacomb) on the floor, with an alcove so there's a gem in its mouth.

Corpse on the floor is a great idea... is it in a fixed position on the tile, or could it be moved, say with tileOffset

[Huder]

How about to make logical item which will choose a random 'normal' item from the table when picked?
If it is possible that would be great looting script for your corpse

Corpse on the floor is a great idea even without necessarily being an alcove.

It creates ton of atmosphere - much much more than the standard corpse decoration or the set of toorum bones.

Now it needs a sword down across its pelvis and a shield strapped to the other arm, and it'll be a loot-fest corpse.

{Edit:} And, of course, the good old "Return my armaments that I may fight gloriously in the afterlife" quest which opens a nice secret if you bring him the "archaic sword" and "archaic shield" found elsewhere in the dungeon.

AH, that's disgusting
It would be cool if after taking the gem the skeleton rises and attacks you.

It could be transparent skeleton ghost that will spawn behind you

[crisman]

That's a better idea! It's easier to implement, and it does not need to remove the corpse! Like it!

Ooh The thread is buzzing again. I like.
The model is positioned on an offset. You can change the facing though.
I was inspired by the guy making the cold Wallset to make this, as he's made one himself. I simple cannot remember his name, though.
I'll put the model to download so you can all use it, as well as example code of it being used as a decoration.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
  	  name = "skeleton_floor",
   	 class = "Decoration",
   	 model = "mod_assets/models/floor_skeleton.fbx",
	replaceFloor= false,
    	placement = "floor",
	editorIcon = 100,
}
