The Custom Alcove Thread. (Neikun, Batty and Crisman)

[Ciccipicci]

Neikun, love the note alcove!

[Neikun]

Noted, Mere. I was very worried that it got over looked. Perhaps a new thread would be best.
I think I'll start it after I perfect this ogrey-eyey slime I'm working on.

If you are interested, these codes allow the daemon head's sockets (both eyes and mouth) to accepts all the gems, into a single entity. I was a bit tired to have mouth_socket_red and mouth_socket_blue and so on...

Copy in objcet.lua

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
            name = "eye_socket_left",
            baseObject = "eye_socket_left",
            onInsertItem = function (self, item)
                         local a, b = string.find (item.name, "_gem")
                         return a ~= nil and b == string.len(item.name)  and self:getItemCount() == 0
                         end,
}   

cloneObject{
            name = "eye_socket_right",
            baseObject = "eye_socket_right",
            onInsertItem = function (self, item)
                         local a, b = string.find (item.name, "_gem")
                         return a ~= nil and b == string.len(item.name)  and self:getItemCount() == 0
                         end,
}   

cloneObject{
            name = "mouth_socket",
            baseObject = "mouth_socket",
            onInsertItem = function (self, item)
                         local a, b = string.find (item.name, "_gem")
                         return a ~= nil and b == string.len(item.name)  and self:getItemCount() == 0
                         end,
} 

a warning, do not use if you have items that end with "_gem"
EDIT: I forgot to add getItemCount!

Can i add a note/scroll i wrote say note_1 to alcove without script?

[crisman]

I'm afraid if you want to add a written note in an alcove without a script is not possible - as far as I know.
You can if you leave the note in blank, thought

[SpiderFighter]

Not sure if anyone has done this particular alcove or not yet (because, DAY-AAAMN, this is a long thread!), but I wanted to tell you that you've been an inspiration, Neikun! For example...can you spot the key in this picture?

[Komag]

haha, I love it!

"from my cold dead hands!"

[SpiderFighter]

Thanks, Komag!
I don't have the heart to throw an iron key in there; it'd turn into a game of "Where's Waldo." lol

[Neikun]

That's actually really good, Fighter. I'm a little surprised we didn't think of something similar when we were playing with hiding brass keys under the upper skeletons leg with our original catacomb alcoves.
You should share your script, though. :3

Sorry, I just didn't want to clutter the thread with something that might have already been posted. Feel free to add these to the pack if you find them useful.

defineObject{
name = "temple_cata_skel_alcove_up",
class = "Alcove",
anchorPos = vec(-0.3, 2.1, 0.26),
targetPos = vec(0,1.3,0),
targetSize = vec(0.6, 0.5, 0.6),

Here's the script and picture for the skel on the bottom. Since the player's eye is already looking down more carefully at this one (than up above), I moved the key over to his left hand only (although his right hand holds the top of it). It should also be noted that I have not tried placing other objects with these...they were made just for keys, so you may need to tweak them for other items.
