Wow! Thank you very much for the asset and rundown on how to set it up! Now I can have "broken" levers until the party fixes the "mechanism," then I'll put the lever sound back in after they do. Such a wild imagination, right? ~chuckles~

Hey - I got some models imported! See viewtopic.php?f=22&t=8173&start=10!

If I could hear you I would listen, but I guess I'll just go read your accomplishment instead. ha!

Thanks,
Matt

NutJob ... thinking about that when reading you, but for your broken lever, can't you code this like a broken pieces to found ?

Example : Taking back in the LoG1 asset, the mechanism pieces's models of the boss, letting them into one or multiple rooms, and on the clickable class of the lever, adding some parts of script that counting pieces of mechanism parts to "spawn" a new lever ?

I'm actually working on a model like, it could interest you ?

I had something like this in mind (have the lever housing but no level in it, that you must find and jam back into it), but if something requires me to do something with models, defining something, or practically anything not dealing with pure scripting, my mind blows up. ((mostly waiting for the assets to begin learning about "making my own stuff")). Appreciate the idea.

How do I directly access an objects particle system (of course when it has one) and retrieve the vector values of its color?

Edit: nevermind, impossible without the asset pack. Completely locked down and no way to proceed.

What am I doing wrong?
(and of course, apologies if this has been asked somewhere already, I couldn't find it.)

I am using the Mine tileset, with Elevation only. (no heightmap). My Champions are starting at the bottom, and will need to work their way up 7 levels to escape.

The center of my map I want a giant chasm that the players will crisscross as they work their way up. The chasm is [-7,1] - with some actual chasm/pit tiles in it too. The Champions are exiting an area that is [-7,-6]. When I went to turn around to get a feel for how giant the chasm felt... I saw this:

When I checked back inside, I saw this:

My module height is 3. Setting it to 2 or 4 did not work (and visually broken as well). I'm aware that the mine tileset only supports ceilings of height up to 1. Is it ONLY 1?

What do I need to do to achieve a good visual effect here? Should I instead use 3 or more maps to simulate the elevation? (With Shafts/Chasms)

Edit: Nevermind. I decided to just make them different maps. An answer would be cool though.

How do I access multiple entities? For example if I would like to activate all the teleporters with id teleporter_1 to teleporter_10?

Code: Select all

local obj;
for i=1,10 do
    obj = findEntity("teleporter_" .. i)
    -- do stuff to obj
end

I mean by a script. I know that.

How to add a ondie hook to a monster spawned by a script?

I looked at the thread where they discussed this, but they were calling a function of the skeleton, I'm trying to decrement a counter. I tried to fiddle around with it a bit but it just crashed.
