Few questions - All solved

[Drakkan]

I am going credit in my dungeon anybody who will answer some of these

1. I´d like to clone object forest_oak_cluster just with some offset (it will be placed outside the map -it should be done with offset parameter)
SOLVED by Doridion

Code: Select all

    defineObject{
       name = "Oak_test",
       base_object = "forest_oak_cluster",
       components = {
          {
             class = "Model",
             model = "assets/models/env/forest_oak_cluster.fbx",
             -- Give the offset that you want :D
             offset = vec(0,0,0,0),
          },
       },
       placement = "floor",
       editorIcon = 168,
    }

2. I´d like to have script which will prevent party (some hud message will appear) to take out torch from torch_holder. on log1 it was something like

SOLVED by Prozail
orRemove hook conneted to script with

Code: Select all

function stopRemove(sender)
   sender.go.socket:addItem(spawn("torch").item)
   setMouseItem(nil)
end

3. Somebody figured out how to place water surface in different height than just -1 ? Id like to have surface of the water in different height.
SOLVED by Doridion

Code: Select all

defineObject{
   name = "user_water_surface",
   base_object = "water_surface",
   components = {
      {
      class = "WaterSurface",
      fogColor = vec(0.021,0.045,0.13,0),
      fogDensity = 0.2,
      -- There you'll have to modify by -1.4 or 1.4, as you wish
      planeY = -0.4,
      reflectionColor = vec(0.693,0.81,0.9,0),
      refractionColor = vec(1,1,1,0),
      },
      {
      class = "WaterSurfaceMesh",
      material = "water_surface_calm",
      underwaterMaterial = "water_surface_underwater",
      },
   },
   placement = "floor",
   editorIcon = 264,
}

4. Please some easy script where if you dig with shovel on some place, random item from some list will be digged
SOLVED - replied by ninjanerdbgm, cromcrom
Place a floor_trigger where you want the party to dig. Make it only triggerable by digging and tick "disableSelf".
Have it point to a script that's also on top of the dig location with the following code:

Code: Select all

    items = {"dagger","rapier","leather_cap","leather_cuisse","note","letter"} -- as many items as you want.

    function digRandomStuff()
      local item = math.random(1,#items)  -- The second number is the amount of items in the list.
        item = items[item]
        local j = self.go:spawn(item)
        playSound("secret")
        hudPrint("You found a "..j.item:getUiName().."!")
        -- If you need to define component parameters for your items...
        if item == "note" then j.scrollitem:setScrollText("I am a note!") end
        if item == "letter" then j.scrollitem:setScrollText("I am a letter!") end
        -- If you want to give the party a bonus for finding the items...
        hudPrint("Gain 250 xp!")
        for i=1,4 do
            party.party:getChampion(i):gainExp(250)
        end
    end

For number 4:

Code: Select all

items = {"dagger","rapier","leather_cap","leather_cuisse","note","letter"} -- as many items as you want.

function digRandomStuff()
    local item = math.random(1,6) -- The second number is the amount of items in the list.
    item = items[item]
    local j = self.go:spawn(item)
    playSound("secret")
    hudPrint("You found a "..j.item:getUiName().."!")
    -- If you need to define component parameters for your items...
    if item == "note" then j.scrollitem:setScrollText("I am a note!") end
    if item == "letter" then j.scrollitem:setScrollText("I am a letter!") end
    -- If you want to give the party a bonus for finding the items...
    hudPrint("Gain 250 xp!")
    for i=1,4 do
        party.party:getChampion(i):gainExp(250)
    end
end

I just wrote this out now and haven't tested it, but it should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

[cromcrom]

if I may:
instead of

Code: Select all

local item = math.random(1,6) -- The second number is the amount of items in the list.

try

Code: Select all

local item = math.random(1,#items) 

#items is the number of items in your table, so you just have to add items, and not morry about that line

Brilliant. I'm actually new to lua (tho I've had some intense practice the last few weeks), so I had no idea you could do that. Thanks!

no good way to stop the removal of the torch, but you can hide it pretty much with:

onRemoveItem connected to:

Code: Select all

function stopRemove(sender)
	sender.go.socket:addItem(spawn("torch").item)
	setMouseItem(nil)
end

Drakkan, in the WaterSurface component, you got the setPlaneY() propertie, just put it on the heigh number that you want

For you Oak, you can test something like that ( i've tested it and its ok )

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "Oak_test",
	base_object = "forest_oak_cluster",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/env/forest_oak_cluster.fbx",
			-- Give the offset that you want :D
			offset = vec(0,0,0,0),
		},
	},
	placement = "floor",
	editorIcon = 168,
}

Ah, and for credits, give my place to better modder than me

Hi guys. These scripts are awesome thxs for cred's to you all I have been after the Torch script for ages.

its kind of interesting that model is not animated, but I am ok even with that as for now, because its just background. As for water component I am missing asset, but once released I think it will be no problem just to modify as you stated. Thanks a lot, definitely will be credited as well

Hey Drakkan, I modified the dig random script a bit for use in my own mod. Here's the code I ended up going with:

By adding the target (c) to the function, the script no longer needs to be on top of the floor_trigger, and
multiple floor_triggers can point to the same function.

Code: Select all

items = {"baked_maggot","boiled_beetle","blooddrop_cap","falconskyre","mudwort","skull","potion_energy","potion_cure_poison","potion_cure_disease","potion_greater_energy","potion_greater_healing","potion_healing","potion_shield","potion_resurrection","bread","cheese","borra","mole_jerky","warg_meat"} 

-- Give the player a small chance to dig up more than one item, or no item at all --
itemchance = {"0","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","1","2","2","2","2","3"}

function digRandomStuff(c)
	local itemamt = itemchance[math.random(1,#items)]
	if itemamt == "0" then hudPrint("You found nothing...") end
	for i=1,itemamt do
		local item = math.random(1,#items)
		item = items[item]
		local j = c.go:spawn(item)
		playSound("secret")
                -- You can add the code to add text to notes/letter or whatever other component necessity here --
		hudPrint("You found "..getArticle(j.item:getUiName())..j.item:getUiName().."!")
	end
        -- You can add code to give xp here --
end

--[[

I got really sick of seeing "You got a Energy Potion!" or "You got a Cheese!", so I decided to generate the articles.
The following code finds out what item was dug up and returns the proper article, or no article at all.

--]]

function getArticle(name)
	local fletter = name:sub(1,1) -- Get the first letter of the item's UI name
	fletter = string.byte(fletter,1) -- Convert it to ASCII
	if fletter < 97 then fletter = fletter + 32 end -- Convert it to lowercase.
	if string.char(fletter) == "a" or string.char(fletter) == "e" or string.char(fletter) == "i" or string.char(fletter) == "o" or string.char(fletter) == "u" then
		return "an "
	elseif name:sub(1,3) == "Fal" or name:sub(1,3) == "Mud" or name:sub(1,3) == "Bre" or name:sub(1,3) == "Che" or name:sub(1,3) == "Bor" or name:sub(1,3) == "Mol" or name:sub(1,3) == "War" then
		return ""
	else
		return "a "
	end
end

advanced digging, impressive. thanks a lot
