Shadowgate 2014 "Inspired" (Resource Pack)

Here is the new crystal design that I will implement though out the set. I darkened the area where they attach to the rock and added a nice lava like color to the rest of it. Hope this looks a little better

That looks really cool!

Maybe the biggest ones are a bit too big? From the picture they seem to be very huge...

Yea Ill have some smaller ones to use as well

[akroma222]

They look stunning!
Could be cool placed where land meets lava too?
Im guessing you may have defined the red crystals as their own separate objects for folk to place as they like
(hopefully that doesn't sound too presumptuous)

I like the idea of having some that meet the lava, ill look into that. Yes the red crystals will be placeable for the ceiling and floor.

I have a question about a script component, I was wondering if there is a way to factor in elevation to this:

Code: Select all

{
			class = "Null",
			onInit = function(self)
				local x = self.go.x
				local y = self.go.y
				local facing = self.go.facing
				local level = self.go.level
				
				local fx,fy = getForward(facing)
				local rx,ry = getForward((facing+1)%4)

				do				
					local x = self.go.x + fx
					local y = self.go.y + fy
					if x >= 0 and y >= 0 and x < 32 and y < 32 then
						self.go.map:setAutomapTile(x, y, 4)	-- rocky wall
					end
				end

				--destroy wall slopes
				for yy=-1,1 do
					for xx=-1,1 do
						local x = x + rx * xx + fx * yy
						local y = y + ry * xx + fy * yy
						if x >= 0 and y >= 0 and x < 32 and y < 32 then
							for e in self.go.map:entitiesAt(x, y) do
								if e.name == "rc_wall_slope"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_01"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_02"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_03"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_04"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_01b"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_02b"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_03b"
								or e.name == "rc_edge_support_04b"								
								then e:destroy()
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		},

I want to be able to destroy objects above and below, this only works on the objects current elevation.

How exactly is this component used?

I use it to destroy objects around a particular asset, such as stairs, chasms, contraptions etc. The way Red Cave is set up, some details stick out and over other things, so I have that component on some objects to automatically destroy them so you wont have worry about it. Its a small thing for me to have this destroy objects on a certain elevation, just wanted to see if it was easily possible to add, if its more complicated then I'm cool with out it .

That's what I had thought. I haven't scrutinized the script yet. I asked because I made a test map, and defined my own objects named "rc_wall_slope", "rc_edge_support_01" ,"rc_edge_support_02", "rc_edge_support_03", "rc_edge_support_04", "rc_edge_support_01b", "rc_edge_support_02b", "rc_edge_support_03b", and "rc_edge_support_04b".

I then placed my test objects on the map, each having the Null component (and even placed on the same tiles as the RC assets), and nothing happened. I then added a print(e.name) statement just before the e.destroy() statement, and nothing printed.

entitiesAt(x,y) includes all elevations.

Yep your right hahaha, again I'm just stupid lol. I had it on the wrong object." Face Palm"

I started putting together some small crystal beds. I Think Ill have 2 of them, a large bed (2x2 tiles) and a small bed(1x1 tile). I finished the 2x2 bed, have a look.



I will have some larger crystals in a bed format too.

I do have the ceiling crystal finished.



Oh I almost forgot the lava edge extras I created. These are extra rounded edges and a side edge to put in your lava to give it a less squarish feeling. I also added a lava window so to speak, to add to the environment.
