Decoration Placement Different from Script

I want to make an alcove (one square "room") with different walls from a script. I have defined a custom object as follows - while I want a different image (rough wooden walls without pillars), that's well beyond me for now:
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "plating",
class = "Decoration",
model = "assets/models/env/prison_secret_door.fbx",
replacesWall = true,
placement = "wall",
editorIcon = 92
}
If I place the item using the editor, everything looks as desired (for now):
However, I want to place the different walls automatically via a script that does other things too:'
Code: Select all
spawn("plating", self.level, self.x, self.y, (self.facing+1)%4)
spawn("plating", self.level, self.x, self.y, (self.facing+2)%4)
spawn("plating", self.level, self.x, self.y, (self.facing+3)%4)
...but I get bad results:
Can anyone help? Thank you!

I don't believe you can replace walls one the map has been loaded

If it works, I'll post about it.

Thank you, Lmaoboat. That does make sense now. I guess I'll just have to place these manually until I can get some custom graphics going.

I love your alcoves, Neikun! Thank you for all of your efforts.
I really need custom graphics for this project, but the plates look better than stone for now. I can do the 2D graphics, but I still don't have any idea how to turn them into a model that I can import. I think I need to wait for more tools to be developed. I'll keep working on my scripting and get to that later. Thanks,

If you have the room, you could just place empty squares around it so there's no walls there.
