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

Oh that's cool, I like the idea

Here's a small alcove that allows items to be placed on those stained glass recesses:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "stained_glass_alcove",
	class = "Alcove",
   anchorPos = vec(0, 0.9, 0),
   targetPos = vec(0, 0.9, 0),
	targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.3, 0.6),
	placement = "wall",
	replacesWall = false,
	editorIcon = 92,
}

I'm not very good with this alcove stuff, so every single item is centered and all types of items are allowed to be placed on these alcoves (probably easy fix)

Oh man, awesome! I thought about doing that way back just before I got side tracked with the slimes.
I saw the model and said "This has a ledge. And where there's a ledge, there can be an alcove!" lol

How do you get Huder's ledge to work? Have model but no script.

[Neikun]

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "wall_shelf",
	class = "Alcove",
	model = "mod_assets/models/ledge.fbx",
	replacesWall = false,
	anchorPos = vec(0, 0.87, -0.25),
	targetPos = vec(0,0.88,-0.25),
	targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.5, 0.6),
	placement = "wall",
	editorIcon = 8,
}

That's what mine looks like. My .model file is in my models folder. Also, I accidentally renamed the model as ledge.

Thanks! Like a charm

The way I see a lockpicking system working in Grimrock with my new alcove is like this:

Because the lock behind the alcove still functions normally, you can have options for both a key and a lockpick to toggle the door.
So lets say you have the lock opened by an iron key, and the alcove only takes a lockpick.
If the player can't find the key, but has a lockpick, he can open the lock. There could be a radom chance that the lockpick breaks (Destroy the lock pick and have hudPrint("Your lockpick snapped")

A note socket for Phitt's temple_bookshelf_01

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "bookshelf_note_socket",
	class = "Alcove",
	anchorPos = vec(-0.79, 1.8, 0.13),
	anchorRotation = vec(0,90,270),
	targetPos = vec(-0.79, 1.78, 0.13),
	targetSize = vec(0.3, 0.3, 0.3),
	placement = "wall",
	onInsertItem = function(self, item)
		return item.name == "note" and self:getItemCount() == 0 
end,
	editorIcon = 8,
}

Can you find it?

Really a good spot!

That blue book in upper right corner looks like a perfect spot to put a scroll on
Ant the book stacks in middle shelf seems like a perfect spot for a gem...

EDIT:
Oh, and Neikun. I think lockpicking may need a new thread. It's really good idea and your lock alcove seems perfect for that purpose.
