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

That link didn't work for me either. I just copy/pasted the pillar metal hook model from original assets.

[undeaddemon]

So.. using the

model = "assets/models/env/metal_hook_pillar.fbx",

Leaves me with a hook that isn't "on" the wall.

You can now edit it in the GMT no problem to translate it backwards.

I believe I changed the /env to a different model folder I had made like /decorations.

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.

I can't find the file mod_assets/models/env/hook_pillar_wall.fbx on skydrive... :-/

The model is included in Merethif's Custom Shields Pack on GrimrockNexus, it's named shield_hook instead of hook_pillar_wall though.

Hello everyone,
im totaly new and want to thank you for all the great alcoves

i had put them all in one objects.lua file and uploaded them here
dont override your own objects.lua if it contains custom "stuff"

[msyblade]

That is actually VERY helpful, 3TiHwCrow! I have probably half to 2/3rds of them, but spread out over three dungeons, so Thanx a lot!

[3TiHwCrow]

im happy if its the case
just delete the stone ogre at the end if u dont have the model
and the chest at the beginning

[Neikun]

I suppose my link on the first post is broken by now. I keep meaning to upload it somewhere more solid. D:

EDIT: Link updated.

Dragon Gem Alcove with Fire from nose


thanks to all the great sripts i used to create this. (sry i dont remember which it was)

U can use this alcove to keep a gem. If the gem gets removed the nose begins to burn and a crackeling sound starts.

first add following lines to your objects.lua (found at C:\Users\ur name\Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock\Dungeons\ur dungeons name\mod_assets\scripts)

create a "dragon_statue" and the alcove "dragon_socket_gem" infront of it
create a lua script ineditor and put following lines in it

function gemdragon(entity, item)
for i in entity:containedItems() do
if i.name == item then
return true
end
end
end

function gemdragoncheck() -- edit the name dragon_socket_gem_1 to your alcove id
if gemdragon(dragon_socket_gem_1, "green_gem") ~= true then -- this means item was not found
playSoundAt("wall_lantern_crackling", dragon_statue_1.level, dragon_statue_1.x, dragon_statue_1.y, 1)
spawn("dragon_socket_flame_left", dragon_statue_1.level, dragon_statue_1.x, dragon_statue_1.y, 1)
spawn("dragon_socket_flame_right", dragon_statue_1.level, dragon_statue_1.x, dragon_statue_1.y, 1)
end
end

edit the name dragon_socket_gem_1 to your alcove id

-- to do
now it would be nice if the flame turn of if the gem is put back, hope someone comes up with something
every time u take the gem and/or put one in, the flames spawn (loop), so we have to destroy them somehow

----- alternative -----
u can create the lightsources manually and than use the alcove to toggle the lights on and off. but u have to create a hidden switch infront of the room too, in order for the the lights to be off, when u enter the room. otherwise they will be already on, becouse i dont know how to create a deactivated lightsource
