It'll trigger the connector when it starts (0.0) and at your timerInterval (like normal).

Awesome. Couldn't deduce it was that. Thank you so much!

Hello everyone. I'm new here. Thought messing around with the Grimrock editor would be a good way to try out programming/level design.

So, I have a simple question: How can I offset the location of an item within a cell? Such as placing a turtle egg in the middle of the nest.

Thanks!

hi, yes.
check game reference for gameobject - there is more you can do with item. for example:

GameObject:getPosition()
GameObject:setPosition(x, y, facing, elevation, level)
GameObject:setWorldPosition()
GameObject:setWorldPositionY(y)
GameObject:setWorldRotation(…)
GameObject:setWorldRotationAngles(x, y, z)
GameObject:setWorldRotationAnglesWithOrder(x, y, z, order)

so for example you can move your item like this

youritemname:setWorldPosition(vec(3.002938, 0.00000, 3.054278, 0.000000))

Thanks Drakkan! Got it working now.

EDIT: Just found setSubtileOffset(). Seems to be an easier way of doing what I wanted to do. Thanks for pointing me to the right place in the scripting reference.

Ok, my turn

I have this code in monsters.lua, but the placed monsters do not have these attributes...

Code: Select all

   defineObject{name = "crom_fjeld_warg",
	baseObject = "fjeld_warg",
	components = {

		{
			class = "Health",
			name = "health",
			spawnOnDeath = "",
			health = 20,
			onDie = function(self)
			
			for i=1,math.random(5,10) do
			spawn("coin_copper")
			end
			end,
		},
	}
}

Any help please ?

[GoldenShadowGS]

I think you need to change the monster component, not health.

EDIT:

Code: Select all

	defineObject{name = "crom_fjeld_warg",
	baseObject = "fjeld_warg",
	components = {
        {
		class = "Monster",
		meshName = "fjeld_warg_mesh",
		level= 1,
		health = 20,
		maxHealth = 20,
		exp = 60,
		hitSound = "warg_hit",
		hitEffect = "hit_blood_black",
		dieSound = "warg_die",
		onDie = function(self)
			for i = 1,math.random(5,10) do
				spawn("rock")
			end
		end,
		},
	}
}

I used something like this to pull the values from the default wargs

Code: Select all

m = fjeld_warg_1

print(m.monster:getCapsuleHeight())  
print(m.monster:getCapsuleRadius())  
print(m.monster:getCollisionRadius())  
print(m.monster:getCurrentAction())  
print(m.monster:getDeathEffect())  
print(m.monster:getDieSound())  
print(m.monster:getEvasion())  
print(m.monster:getExp())  
print(m.monster:getFlying())  
print(m.monster:getFootstepSound())  
print(m.monster:getGroupSize())  
print(m.monster:getHeadRotation())
print(m.monster:getHealth())
print(m.monster:getHitEffect())  
print(m.monster:getHitSound())  
print(m.monster:getIdleAnimation())  
print(m.monster:getImmunities())  
print(m.monster:getLevel())  
print(m.monster:getLootDrop())  
print(m.monster:getMaxHealth())  
print(m.monster:getMeshName())   
print(m.monster:getProtection())   
print(m.monster:getShape())

Ok, my turn

The most safe way is to copy original warg asset and just change what you want to change (e.c. health, drop etc...)

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	baseObject = "base_monster",
	name = "cromrcom_sand_warg",
	components = {

				getHitFrontRight = "assets/animations/monsters/sand_warg/sand_warg_get_hit_front_right.fbx",
				moveForwardTurnLeft = "assets/animations/monsters/sand_warg/sand_warg_walk_turn_left.fbx",
				howl = "assets/animations/monsters/sand_warg/sand_warg_howl.fbx",
				moveForward = "assets/animations/monsters/sand_warg/sand_warg_walk.fbx",

			},
			class = "Animation",
			name = "animation",
			currentLevelOnly = true
		},
		{
			lootDrop = {
				75,
				"warg_meat",
				10,
				"warg_meat"

			hitSound = "warg_hit",
			resistances = {
				poison = "weak"

			dieSound = "warg_die",
			name = "monster",
			capsuleHeight = 0.2
		},
		{
			class = "WargBrain",
			name = "brain",
			sight = 5
		},
		{
			sound = "warg_walk",
			class = "MonsterMove",
			name = "move",
			cooldown = 0.5
		},
		{
			sound = "warg_walk",
			class = "MonsterTurn",
			resetBasicAttack = true,
			name = "turn"
		},
		{
			resetBasicAttack = true,
			turnDir = 1,
			cooldown = 2,
			sound = "warg_walk",
			class = "MonsterMove",

	}
}

Where did you get the definitions for that?

[JKos]

and most easy way is to use cloneObject
(since you are already using it)

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
     name = "crom_fjeld_warg",
     baseObject = "fjeld_warg",
    components = {
      {
         class = "Monster",
         health = 20,
         onDie = function(self)
			 for i = 1,math.random(5,10) do
				spawn("coin_copper")
			 end
         end,		 
      }
   }
}
