Needs new model of course, but I'm counting on you guys.. And Neikun must be interested, becouse it needs to be
alcove 
Also, I'm been trying to do a secret door/wooden door that open when touched with mouse. Could it also be made with alcoves? Or secret buttons? Help?
I did a water & thirst system in my dungeon. With water fountains to fill flasks and gourds.
this is my thread:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3556&hilit=water+thirst
For the secret door I think it can be made with an invisible item or an item deeply placed inside a wall. on pick up item the item will be destroyed and the door must open.
Or something similar.

John appears to be making big progress in unloacking animations for us modders. It must be easy to get a flowing water animation going after that. As for the model, I would like use the base alcoves. It's got a shelf. I can just imagine water pouring down in cascade and you just fill a flask.
I'm not entirely sure how the base fountain model was supposed to work.
As for the secret door: Perhaps a workaround could use a party's onAttack hook?

water coming from daemon head's mouth would be even more cool, I think

Hey Batty, check this one out.
Torch holder, can't click the torch inside it/ can't see a torch handle.
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "lantern_torch_holder", --does not show torch handle in it. Cannot click torch inside.
class = "TorchHolder",
model = "assets/models/env/wall_lantern.fbx",
anchorPos = vec(0.05, 1.53, 2),
anchorRotation = vec(0, -20, -90),
placement = "wall",
editorIcon = 84,
}
-Just don't place them empty, or when you click it with a torch, you won't get your torch back.
Edited to prevent it from going through the wall behind it.

Yeah, you buried the handle in the wall, but the fire is off-center.
I've done a ton of experimenting with torch holders. No matter what you do the fire spawns in the exact same place. You can bury the holder in the floor, still same fire.
Seems to be hard-coded.

If you don't mind it, that's the best way because you can get full torch holder functionality, turn it on/off etc.

Okay guys. Lets shake the dust here.
New Alcove!
Currently specific for Ornate Keys in Ornate locks.
To use, place a ornate lock on the wall with nothing in the opened by: field.
Place this alcove socket on top.
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "ornate_key_socket",
class = "Alcove",
anchorPos = vec(-0.01, 1.37, -0.13),
anchorRotation = vec(0,90,90),
targetPos = vec(-0.01, 1.37, -0.13),
targetSize = vec(0.3, 0.3, 0.3),
placement = "wall",
onInsertItem = function(self, item)
return item.name == "ornate_key" and self:getItemCount() == 0
end,
editorIcon = 8,
}
EDIT: Wasn't there someone on the forums who wanted a lock that didn't eat keys?
Credit must be given to MasterDoomer as it was his suggestion for me to make this.
Example uses:
Door opens when key is in lock. Closes when taken out.:
Connect the socket to a door. Set event to any, and action to toggle.
Door opens when key is placed in lock. Key can be removed. Door will close when key is placed in it again:
Connect socket to door. Set event to activate and action to toggle.
With these kinds of locks, it opens the way for lockpicking as well.
(You could use the lock underneath as normal, and have the socket on top take only your lockpicking tool)
