Goromorg Shield

Post by Roman42 »

Hi All,

if I clone a Goromorg, he won't have his shield active. Why is that? Is there a way to activate the shield of a cloned Goromorg?

Works perfectly, but it should have been mentioned, that one has to install the framework for making this work.
This did cost me some nerves. :)

Hi Roman42,

I'm sorry if you had trouble implementing this. I thought the framework wasn't required for this particular script... Of course it's easier for adding the hooks, but you can define them in the .lua files with cloneObject. (Unless I missed something in my code).

What error did you get, so that I can update the script or specify that the framework is required?

Perhas I did something wrong in a different place and fixed it while implementing the framework.

Do I understand you right? If it works now, it should work without the framework? I try to remove it and tell you what happened. :)

EDIT: Removed the Framework and still works! :)

Ok, great!

But you can keep the framework if you like... it's quite useful :).

I think it will stay removed untill I need it.

BTW: I quite don't understand why your script needs a custom texture. I've replaced it with a link to the one from the main game and the effect didn't work anymore.

Has it something to do with the different sizes of the different creatures your script supports? Would it be possible to use the ingame texture/material if the script would support Goromorgs only?

I don't know how the original texture is rendered by the game engine (it has shader in the file name, but I'm not knowledgable enough about shaders...), but it doesn't have any alpha channel and the corners are all white. I had to trim it and add alpha for it to work as a "particle".

Thanks, your script led to my first Grimrock monster. :)
