@antti : Could sticking it thread and the superthread ?

Both of them are useful for modders to ask or found easily important threads and of course, not having 5 times the same question in 5 different threads

Thanks in advance !

i want to change the y-position of a secret door. i thought you had to do something like
door.go:setWorldPositionY(42) but i get an error: attempt to index field 'go' (a nil value) How are you supposed to call on it?

if you're calling it directly just use "secret_door_id_1:setWorldPositionY(42)"

It's not entierly clear when you need to add the ".go"

Is there an object that allows the player to pass through walls?

Having some trouble mixing terrain that creates invisible walls.

As in something your champion can posses to allow the party to walk through a wall OR allow you, the creator, to walk through a wall for debugging? F1 removes Collision if the latter.

Neither. I want to add something to the map that allows players to pass through these pesky invisible walls created by mixing terrain.

Neither. I want to add something to the map that allows players to pass through these pesky invisible walls created by mixing terrain.

Then I have the exact opposite problem you have. I wish my wall entities had collision. Also, to answer your question, I don't think so.

Q1: Is there a way to find entities(At) on another level? So far I can only use self or the calling object (be it a lever, the party, floor trigger, etc) with entitiesAt(x,y) and would love something like entitiesAt(level,x,y).

Q2: Is there a way to get the height of a tile? so far I have been using "self.go.map:getElevation(party.x, party.y)" but it's cumbersome.

Couldn't you just place an invisible_wall there, or set the entity to have a class of Obstacle?

Is there an object limit? My editor has begun to crash when I copypaste things.

Code: Select all

Also its letting me move through some of these thin walls, without using the console. Do walls need a solid tile for collision to work properly?
