Thanks for the answers, that was exactly what I needed to get started figuring it all out. The game will have custom items after all!
Your videos are really great, Skuggasveinn, I look forward to more.

That's awesome for checking models, but i am not sure how to do it for gfxIndex and -Atlas
Code: Select all
function getGraphicAtlas()
print(spawn("assassin_dagger").gfxAtlas:getGfxAtlas())
end
function getGraphicIndex()
print(spawn("assassin_dagger").gfxIndex:getGfxIndex())
end
Neither works.
Thanks.

It's
Code: Select all
print(spawn("assassin_dagger").item:getGfxIndex())
Before you were pretty much trying to get the GfxIndex of the GfxIndex.

Hi!
I'm unable to make the alcove code work.
I basically just copied the script from your video and changed the name of items to fit my map as a test but I get " attempt to call method 'contents' ( a nil value) " on line 2.
Code: Select all
function surfaceContains(surface, item)
for v,i in surface:contents() do
if i.go.name == item then return true
end
end
end
function openPowerGemDoor()
if surfaceContains(castle_alcove_2,"peasant_cap_1") then
castle_door_portcullis_10.door:open()
end
end
Did I miss something? :S
(castle alcove 2 calls function openpowergemdoor on insert items)

peasant_cap_1 is the name of the item with a number that the engine gives every item to make it unique (if you do not give it a personal name). But in case of the alcove-puzzle you don't want to call for that single item but for any item of that kind. So you have to script "peasant_cap"

Tested this, it works:
Code: Select all
function surfaceContains(object, item)
for _, i in object.surface:contents() do
if i.go.id == item then return true end
end
end
function openPowerGemDoor()
if surfaceContains(castle_alcove_2, "peasant_cap_1") then
castle_door_portcullis_10.door:open()
end
end
In first function, you forgot the alcove object that the surface class is referencing. Also,
i.go.name was changed to
i.go.id because you're comparing IDs. I changed your
surface parameter in the first function to
object because I'm not sure
surface.surface:contents() would work (maybe it will, try it).

Ah! Thanks a ton to the two of you!
I now understand my confusion with name and Ids, thanks.
surface.surface:contents() does work too btw! But now I'm confused as to why the example from the tutorial is missing the reference and seemed to be working for Skugga.

Me too! I had trouble with coding surfaces because contents() is not listed in the reference.

Thanks for kind words.
I've not done a tut in some time but I'm far from "gone" (got a PM asking if I was gone from LoG2 modding
)
I've just been working on some things like waterfalls, you can take a look at them here
http://youtu.be/96v6ZV2R14I
I've also been working on a urban town creating kit, it's a model set that uses the existing log2 models and textures and lets you create houses, its modular so you can create any layout, multible floors etc.
Since its all existing stuff its footprint size has minimal impact on your mods size.
Screen of a house is here

but just wanted to jump in and say I'm far from gone
