You make a very good point.
I still have to work on my metal blockage altar haha

I don't think that should be a problem. We are Alcove Masters right now!
I'll do that a bit later, now I'm a bit busy with something else!

Haha
Alright, well this works quite well right off the bat. But I think I can make it better
Code: Select all
cloneObject{
name = "junk_altar",
baseObject = "altar",
model= "assets/models/env/metal_junk_block.fbx",
}
I'm thinking of making a mace with the shaft model as a sort of improvised bludgeoning tool. And it's wedged in the junk.
However, last time I tried using anchorPos and anchorRotation on an altar, it crashed the editor when I placed the object.
It would appear that those commands are not applicable to an altar.
@AH, why is that? D:

Nice idea, find a weapon inside the garbage. I think you should try that with the eye socket.

eyesocket is wall positioned. D: I suppose I can try it, but don't hope for too too much.

True, but you can always 'cheat'
I'm working on the dragon, and I'm using a eye socket. I've placed it on a wall, and then cancelled
EDIT:
Here's the dragon socket, it accepts magic orb, zhandul and ore.
defineObject{
name = "dragon_socket",
class = "Alcove",
anchorPos = vec(0.0, 1.49, 0.65),
targetPos = vec(0.0, 1.35, 0.35),
targetSize = vec(0.3, 0.3, 0.3),
placement = "wall",
onInsertItem = function(self, item)
return (item.name == "magic_orb" or item.name == "zhandul_orb" or
item.name == "machine_part_north") and self:getItemCount() == 0
end,
editorIcon = 92,
}
It's not easy to place it, since you have to put it on a wall first, and then eliminate the wall.

Now just mix that up with the fire mouth dragon statue so that when you remove the item, the fire goes out and you have yourself some seriously wicked shit. haha.
On my to-do list tomorrow: modify an eye socket to adjust my metal_junk_block altar.
If I do it right, I won't even need a junk_block defined as an altar.

Ahah that's cool. I'll try that tomorrow, now it's definitely time to sleep for me (big deal, it's 5am...
)
If you encounter problems with the junk block we can try that together
bye!

This was quite easy to do, actually.
My only problem with it is that because it's placement is wall, it makes it a bit of a pain to place on a floor item.
This works well on all sides of the blockage. Only one side has clippage, but it's not intensely noticeable as the model for the blockage has clippage itself.
It really gives the feeling like your taking junk out of the pile.
Next step, make a shaft mace.
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "shaft_socket",
class = "Alcove",
anchorPos = vec(0.21, 1.3, 0.6),
anchorRotation = vec(0,30,75),
targetPos = vec(0.21, 1.3, 0.6),
targetSize = vec(5, 5, 5),
placement = "wall",
onInsertItem = function(self, item)
return item.name == "machine_junk5" and self:getItemCount() == 0
end,
editorIcon = 92,
}

I've tried it out and it's looking fantastic! Yes, placing socket on the wall and then remove it it's a bit of annoying. But it works well!
make a shaft as a weapon I think it's the easiest part, I've done a pickaxe without any problems ^^
