Few questions - All solved

[ninjanerdbgm]

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

It works really well in a cemetery

do i need to modify any bit of this for it to work or can i literally just paste it in a LUA and attach a trigger to it

[ninjanerdbgm]

If you want those same items that I used, you can just copy/paste.

If you want to use other items, you'll have to change the getArticle function to reflect it, or remove that function altogether and go with a generic hudPrint (like hudPrint("You got a thing!")).

Don't forget to make your floor_trigger set to triggeredbyDigging only, and tick disableSelf.

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

No big matter, can give you quite exact assets ( Begining to know how all assets runs ) Just running with "get" structures and mostly the blender importer from bitcpy ^^

For the water_surface :

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,
}

For the oak :

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "user_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),
		},
		{
		class = "Animation",
		currentLevelOnly = true,
		playOnInit = "sway",
		loop = true,
		animations = {
			sway = "assets/animations/env/forest_oak_cluster_idle.fbx",
			},
		},
		{
		class = "Obstacle",
		},
		{
		class = "ProjectileCollider",
		offset = vec(0,1.5,0,0),
		size = vec(2.7,3,2.7,0),
		},
	},
	placement = "floor",
	editorIcon = 168,
}

For the Water_surface, i'm not absolutly sure because there's some elements i don't have acces with "get" script or the blender importer, but seems running good in the editor.

hmm editor crashing when trying to place this object on the map

[string "GameObject.lua"]:0: unknown placement: nil
stack traceback:

[Doridion]

Yep, what i excpected ^^ Simply add placement = "floor", just before the editorIcon and that's it

I edit the code in my previous post, to add it, then you can copy/paste it ( forget a spare to a line, also added )

ok now editor not crashing down but error appearing --

bad argument setMaterial (material expected, got nil)
stack traceback in function setmaterial
string watersurfacemesh.lua:in function onRender

Rah ..... ok, not habing enought time to test with my pregnant wife, but make a break and test since it's ok. Sorry for waiting ((

Edit : RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE !!!!!!! .... can't be stupid anymore !!! I'm a dumb stupid guy (( Sorry, really sorry drakkan (( I forgot a simple "r" in "underwater" for underwater material ..... .... ..... I correct it in the previous code and i assume that i'm really stupid ((

Now that's working well ... very sorry ((

Edit 2 : Drakkan, i find something who'll interest you I was false we i though that planeY was the water level. Here are the modifications you can have. I'm actually working on disabling the water effect if the water is UNDER party's head.

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,
        planeY = -0.4,
        reflectionColor = vec(0.693,0.81,0.9,0),
        refractionColor = vec(1,1,1,0),
        },
        {
        class = "WaterSurfaceMesh",
		-- There you'll have to modify the Y offset to up/down the water level
		offset = vec(0,0,0,0),
        material = "water_surface_calm",
        underwaterMaterial = "water_surface_underwater",
		},
    },
    placement = "floor",
    editorIcon = 264,
}

I got to your answer now, thanks man. Elevation is working perfectly, splendid ! only problem is with water material surface, which is hardly visible in dungeon :/ do you know any other surface names so I could try if some is looking better ?

[Doridion]

I've tested again, and seen two things.

1 - If i'm far of the water ( height +1 for example ), reflection seems having no issue. ( you can find below my test )
2 - If i'm approaching and place in the same level or really near the water, i've got the same issue than you.

I think about the reflection/refraction must be adapted with the height offset ( Y ). Or simply more, there's an issue with shader rendering.



I'm actually working on the sort of all johnW's excellent work for the primal assets definition ( really heavy work ... more than 33k lines to sort, sort, and sort again to be correctly understandable for all modders ). I finded all the water effects and will analyse them to give you an as quick as possible answer.

Sorry for late, even i'll answer, yep, i'll answer xD
