The snow in the first screens is very clever. How did you do those bumps?

 

It looks like patches

That looks really really nice detail work.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Dragofer, I like how much extra details are packed into some of those scenes. Like all the clutter on what looks to be the top of a shelf/loft? Just adds a bit more character all around.

nice leather chair.

push with box Vanishedone breaks everything) Throw boax at func_mover and it breaks or cause damage.

 

Using spline with anchors to means no breaking and damage.

 

$anchor.time(x);
$anchor.accelTime(x);
$anchor.decelTime(x);

$anchor.startSpline($name of spline);

 

how r u repeat the func_movers for movement continuously?

The "while $object = 1" might work until the condition becomes false, which would never happen if that object were a physical switch that started true (that the player could never find, eg, in a wall) :)

Until $anchor.time </> (n);

is like a safety measure, so that if it is pushed or stopped, it just ends and then...

sys.waitFor (escalators/whatever) would repeat it ad infinitum, unless someone or something throws that $object/switch

Might restart it after push/block/whatever.

No extra script required - only the catmullroms(splines, whatever) and anchors/movers script... Perhaps easier with a few switches than extra scripts... Add the "while" at the end, maybe, (as a new void from main, "escalators", chuck it in "continuous(ly) [grammar corrections / correcting grammar]".), idk..?

Might stop them from being so easy to push around, because they will travel only a described path - but they can cause damage depending on the speed (time / acceltime / etc...)

Increasing the mass might have some... undesirable effect with motion :)
But... if it kills people - i'm down with that. :ph34r:

 


I'd be interested in how you've looped your escalators, also, VanishedOne.

Have a headache over looping scripts for objects that can be... "interfered" with.

This is the script I'm using:

void escalator_step(entity spline) {
	entity step = sys.spawn("escalator_step");
	step.time(20);
	step.accelTime(0);
	step.decelTime(0);
	step.disableSplineAngles();
	while (1) {
	step.startSpline(spline);
	sys.waitFor(step);
	}
}

void main () {         
	
    sys.waitFrame(); 
	
	float i;
	for ( i = 0; i < 20; i++ ) {
	thread escalator_step($escalator_splinemover_up);
	thread escalator_step($escalator_splinemover_down);
	sys.wait(1);
	}
}

Edit: to clarify the problem with pushing, it's not that you can push steps right off the spline, but that you can create gaps in the sequence and steps that overlap one another (the last bit is especially awkward since there's no way to explain it within the fiction as mechanical breakage). They still move on the spline, but ahead of or behind their proper timing.

Some things I'm repeatedly thinking about...

Yes - that is the problem - there's a way to "jam" them - like a spanner in the works.

This is fine to cause damage, because it's crush/smush...
Hmm...

Have you tried binding the individual steps..?

// bind the step to the escalator

{
$step.bind ($escalator);
}

//I got the exact same problems atm. Dealing with it by having it reset every so often by a self-throwing switch. Resets to "default" and... timing is trial and error - idk wtf it works it just does so I'm not touching that part for now... :P

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
