Location ID

[Corsair_Sclipse]

the location ID number after the letters...is it the name of the place...and can you errect a random building right out of the Jungle?

 

[NathanKell]

Um...after what letters?
If you're talking about loc inits, it's as follows.

Locations[n].id = "Douwesen_tavern_upstairs";
The ID of the location. Do not change!

locations[n].id.label = "Room in Douwesen tavern";
What gets shown ingame. Change this!
---------------------------------------------
Unless there's a locator on the spot you want to put the building, no. And even then, I don't ATM know how, just that it's possible.

 

[Corsair_Sclipse]

lets say you would make a place out of nowhere...how wood you do that... is it possble to errect thart?

 

[NathanKell]

Do you mean add something (a building, a tree, etc) to a location, or add another location via a link (doorway, jungle path reloader, whatever).

lol <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> whenever i see ENGAGE like that, i think of patrick stewart saying 'engage' but pointing over to the left... errrr, long story...


anyway, sony, you can easily add a new location that is entered from an existing reload - so if there is an unused doorway or archway or other access point somewhere, you can easily create a new location that the player accesses when they enter that doorway/arch/whatever. but you can't erect a whole new building out of thin air without going into 3d modelling...

 

[Corsair_Sclipse]

obviously not...im saying, how wood you erect a 3d model of a building out of nowhere...or can u jus "Open" a locked door?

 

[NathanKell]

As I said in the first post: <i>Basically, you can't.</i>

Without recreating all the locators and adding your building to the geometry in Maya and `re-exporting`, you just can't add geometry to GMs.

Aye sony,i'm puzzled <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" /> ,why did you want to erect a new house in the jungle?

 

[Corsair_Sclipse]
