Editor Tutorials on YouTube - part 15 is out

[Skuggasveinn]

Sometime stuff is just staring you in the face

If I use setMaxHealth and I use it before I connect the skeleton_commader to the bossfight entity, I have a correct bossfight health bar even if he only has 5 in health.
so setMaxHealth seems to change the base health and not just set the health to a value.

Code: Select all

function startBrothersBossFight()
	skeleton_commander_1.monster:setMaxHealth(5)                             
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:addMonster(skeleton_commander_1.monster)
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:activate()
end

Use the floor_trigger that triggers the boss and have a script_entity that starts the boss before you make the boss start set the max health.

Great work mate!

I have used you tutorial videos to learn how to use the editor.
I was having a hard time at first understanding the changes to the Grimrock 2 editor, but you made everything perfectly clear. Thanks a lot for your effort.
Please keep doing these, every bit helps a ton.

I am currently doing an adventure for my daughter, and I've used everthing you have taught us.
Are you confident with scripting to the point that you can tell us how to do a script that looks for a certain item in a chest or an alcove? For example: If the party puts a skeleton statue in an alcove, that could send a trigger to a counter. If all statues are placed correctly inside the alcoves it triggers a door (as in the main campain idol puzzle)

After reading the Mod Creation section on this forums it seems that scripting is the number one issue. But you made it look simple.
I would love to know more about basic scripting


Keep up the good work.

Daniel

Great work mate!

Thanks for the kind words.
I will try to make some more complex scripting stuff in the future, but until the scripting reference is released I don't wan't to be guessing or telling people to do something in the incorrect way.

But in the meantime Part 7 is out
In part 7 we create a simple lever puzzle that has 2 combinations, one for each door.
We create an Indiana Jones firetrap where the party removes an Item from an altar in triggers the trap
We explore some creative uses for the Bossfight entity where we use the bossfight health bar as a visual countdown until the firetrap will get sprung, and we watch the whole party burn

Nice Job, part 7 was cool but I already knew how to do it but you did give me an idea for stuff in my dungeon

[cromcrom]

but I already knew how to do it

Sure, but you didn't make a video tut about it.
Anyways, thanks a lot Skuggasveinn.

Can you make a video tutorial on how to have the dungeon editor backup your dungeon or at least have some kind of autosave I'm on mac and I just sold my windows right before this game was announced and so I'm using wine and the editor works fine but it crashes often
