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

The link on the OP is broken, so I should update the pack anyway

My first alcove... hope it's not something that's been done before... I only changed a couple of lines, the bulk of the object is cloned from the key hook by Crisman.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
  name = "note_hook",
  class = "Alcove",
  model = "mod_assets/models/env/hook_pillar_wall.fbx",
  anchorPos = vec(0, 1.55, -0.1),
  anchorRotation = vec(90, 0, 0),
  targetPos = vec(0, 1.6, 0),
  targetSize = vec(0.2, 0.2, 0.2),
  placement = "wall",
  replaceWall = false,
  editorIcon = 92,
  onInsertItem = function (self, item)
    return item.name == "note" and self:getItemCount() == 0
  end,
}

You will need the hook_pillar_wall model that Crisman created, which was linked below (but doesn't seem to be there anymore).

Sorry I haven't put it on online yesterday, I had a problem. But here you go now!

Ok, from here you can download the model file.

That's a terrific idea, Grimwold.
I can just imagine picking it up an it's a shopping list or something haha.

Nice work!
I'm definitely horking that.

I didn't see that before. but that's exactly what I was thinking! It also fits right in with what I'm doing.

[Ciccipicci]

Great idea!

[SpiderFighter]

Is there way to make objects solid? A bit that can be turned on and off, mayhaps?

[Neikun]

What to you mean?
I think I know what you mean. I have an idea, though I do not know if it would work. If you placed a secret door on the object you want not-walk-throughable, facing the opposite direction.

Actually what I was thinking was this (save the file if you can't view the whole thing...there are three different weapons demonstrated):

Whaddaya think? Unfortunately, the player can walk right through him.

But the thought of flipping textures around so that they are invisible did cross my mind. An old Duke 3D trick was to flip buttons around so that the player could not see them, but so that they were functional. Opens up a ton of possibilities. But those were also sprites.

[Neikun]

Oh!
Make him a blockage, and use a socket (model-less) alcove for the weapon.

[Grimwold]

Am I right in thinking you are defining a dungeon object but using the crab model?? If so, have you tried

Code: Select all

class = "Blockage"

in your object definition? like the spider eggs and crate/barrels
