Igor Q.

Hey ales Great to see some visual updates. As a small suggestion, I think having the option between choosing head shape, eye shape, nose, mouth and hair style would be much more satisfying than choosing between "premade" looks. Also...when are getting the Ylands demon skin? I really want it Another suggestion, why not host small vote systems for features the team is working on but not sure which one to pursue? For example, if the Ylands team has to choose between prioritizing making Ylands monsters more diverse or creating flying vehicle's a poll that is world wide would be a great way to help prioritize features the entire community wants.

Hello With the introduction to the new animation system, I wanted to be able to do some possible games involving giant animals, robots, etc. However I need a way to be able to input functions. Suggestions: Option A: When a player sits in a specific chair, that chair within it's script can have input commands such as pressing "A" does something. For example, if a player is on a boat sitting on a specific chair, "WASD" can be used to move, pressing "Q" will fire cannons on the left side of the boat, pressing "E" will fire cannons on the right of the boat. Option B: When players grab control of a steering wheel for a boat/car the control commands can be registered in the system. Ex: A steering wheel attached to a "Shark" will have left right be the same, but have the forward/backwards make the shark go up or down in the water. Etc. Ideally, I want to link an action (or key press) to an instruction in script. @Houp

Did you ever have a crush on a character from a cartoon/anime/video game? 😂

After a long hiatus of transitioning to new work IRL, and playing tons of LoL in the meantime, I've finally decided to get myself back into scripting and stuff in Ylands. I'm right now looking for new projects to do and anyone who wants to collab is free to contact with me. Hope to play and make stuff for you guys in the near future Cheers, Igor.

General guideline: Create an object a player can interact with. When the player interacts with this object, enable a time trigger with a delay of 0.2 seconds. (Make sure to set repeat to -1 ) Inside your time trigger script set it to on trigger change the color of your object and after a delay of 0.1 seconds change the color of your object again. This script will cause your light to flicker between 2 colors at a 0.1 second interval.

It would be alot easier imo to set tree HP to 100,000 and when damaging a tree if the player has a label deal a bonus 50,000 damage.

Not really for capture the flag but for just about anything. In some cases you dont want a player to accidentally unequip an active item because that is not the intended purpose. Ex: I dont want people to unequip an axe used to kill a boss, I dont want players to unequip a tool they are supposed to use or I don't want players to unquip their weapon they are suppose to use for pvp. In short, I want to force players at all times to have an active item equiped.

@Houp To add to this, can you give us the ability to "Lock" the active item of the player?

Kk, will do.

I could do this....but I need the AI patch to go happen 😜

Great news, I hope with the /w function it will give us a auto-fill function so we dont have to type out complicated usernames. Additionally in many games there is also a /r for reply whisper command so you can quickly reply to someone who messages you. I hope this is implemented. Out of curiosity how is the implementation of mini bosses in ylands and such? I would like to work a little bit with you guys on that Could you also consider adding something similiar to minecraft where the last bed you slept on is your respawn point? Its annoying in PVE if you accidentally die and have to travel from an empty island to back home without a ship... Lastly, any news on controlled movement for objects over time?

For anyone who likes chiptune stuff this might interest you

Would be nice, in the last dev diary they mentioned they would implement the beginning of AI in patch 0.13. If this is the case, I could definitly see domestication being implemented soon

Hi, as part of my game creation involving mages, I have multiple instructions which loop, calculating the movement of a spells such as a fireball and checking any nearby collision targets. However when I try to host this in multiplayer the code "breaks", and the section of the code that runs collision detection completely turns off. I would like to know if there is a calculation limit for instructions in terms of complexity or speed when hosting multiplayer games. Thanks for your time -Igor

If you start a game with a dialogue box, sometimes (but most frequently in multiplayer) the dialogue box will not open properly and you will need to close and re-open the dialogue box for it to display correctly. This issue I believe is caused by the game files loading slower than the dialogue box prompt. If I set a long enough initial delay (5 seconds) this bug does not occur.
