Tip: Creating Fake/walkthrough walls the easy way

[aaneton]

While creating my mod I stumbeld upon this solution and decided to share it as I have seen some very complicated solutions for fake walls on the forums:

You can create fake walls that you can walk through easily like this:

Add following to objects.lua:

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
	name = "prison_walkthrough_wall",
	baseObject = "prison_alcove",
	model = "assets/models/env/prison_wall_01.fbx",
	replacesWall = false,
	placement = "wall",
	editorIcon = 8,
}
cloneObject{
	name = "dungeon_walkthrough_wall",
	baseObject = "dungeon_alcove",
	model = "assets/models/env/dungeon_wall_01.fbx",
	replacesWall = false,
	placement = "wall",
	editorIcon = 8,
}

cloneObject{
	name = "temple_walkthrough_wall",
	baseObject = "temple_alcove",
	model = "assets/models/env/temple_wall_01.fbx",
	replacesWall = false,
	placement = "wall",
	editorIcon = 8,
} 

You have now a fake wall object for each dungeon type (actually a alcove clone with normal wall model). Then in dungeon editor do following (example):

You can seen what fake wall looks like fromt each direction here:

The problem with this trick is that it will show up on the minimap.

oh right, hardcore is way to go
Would be nice if they could implement a minimap square blocker into editor or something.
