    wow love the map that creat bloc after bloc, look realy nice. 

    I think the technique used is called "procedural map generation".

    Is commonly used to generate maps/land/groung/hills randomly

    I tried this.  (I had not noticed that tile because I don't use much animation.  I really need to explore more in the Editor.)  I think that it should work fine.

    I would worry about performance only IF they were animated manually.  The FOLLOW TO command works in a different way, and should not have that problem.  As long as Speed and Acceleration are high enough, and Distance Start and Distance End are both 0, it should follow the player perfectly.

    Yes, distance is set to 0 and speed&acceleration is high enough to have the triggerzone always at middle of the player. 

    off-topic: in some cases, instead of using Animators l, you can use the tiles MOVE TO and ROTATE TO

    Sorry Indian Chief, definitely not on purpose. What didn't I get back to you about? Got a bit swamped last few weeks, so might have missed it ? And this screenshot will stay with us for a while ? It is a bit big, true ?

    Are we gonna get big pets? ???

    Yes.

    Groups have their rotation and position set to null while moving (I'm not sure if it's an intentional bug).

    For this reason, if you need to get the position or rotation of objects while they are moving, its better to use animated welds or entities and not groups.

    oh thanks, you are the man. Someone has to ask these stupid questions, right? ??
    I'm seeing it now. It doesn't take the position from an object that is part of a group.
    Well, I just placed a "hidden" coin :D

    Hey there.

    I'm trying some turrets aiming players. So, I have a "group" with dart shooters that uses the AIM TO tile.

    Well, if the dart shooter is static (Animated NOT checked), it fires at right place. When I set the group with the dart shooter to ANIMATED it fires at wrong place.

    Is there something else I need to do to have it firing from it's own position, or is this a bug?

    Here follows a video that shows better.

     

    @Adam Snellgrove@Igor Q. @Indomitus

    By the way, the idea is having my "custom laser bullet" instead of the dart shooter, which I guess I won't have problems because I will set the position & rotation FROM where it should be fired.

    Hey guys, I'm about to start a large project that I'm planning to Blueprint. Has this been changed since this posting? (See Below)  I intended on making the vehicle in the Editor mode, but wanted to make sure I could before I got started. 

    How do I share a Blueprint with a friend?
         - Can we make Blueprints in Editor Mode?

    This is not planned at this moment. There are several reasons, but the most important is that in the Creative mode players have access even to objects that can't be crafted in the game. If you capture a house that would contain such objects, you wouldn't be able to build it elsewhere. From that point of view the only "safe" mode is Explore, where we know everything that players are capturing has been crafted. That being said, Blueprints will definitely be improved in the future, so any feedback is welcome!
     

    Yes, blueprints have been a thing for many months. 

    Nowadays you can also make blueprints of buildings, cars and ships. 

    Note: only items that are considered "building blocks" can be blueprinted. By building blocks I mean, for example: wooden blocks, stone blocks, marble blocks, etc etc. Items like furniture, plants, lanterns, benches, tables, etc etc will NOT be taken by the blueprint. 

    So, you can make whatever you want in editor and then turn them into blueprints. At the moment I'm at work, but send me a message if you want me to teach you how to make a blueprint.

    @Igor Q. @Indomitus
    I'm testing the poison "thing" that once a NPC is damaged it will loose HP over time.

    I use a time trigger over 10 seconds and it "takes HP" from the NPC. The problem is, NPC doesn't die. It keeps walking at same spot. Yes... walking at same spot, i'm not crazy :D
    Although if I hit NPC again it dies this time.

    Anyway, for what i'm doing that wouldn't be a problem because I don't want players to die. Instead of, when their HP is bellow a certain amount, I'm going to set their position to the "starting point".

    Well, take a look:

    1.  Set your Event Listener to "Interaction Between 2 Entities."  Set Trigger Object to "Any Entity" and Target Object to "Any Player".  You can now select ON DAMAGE as the event.

    2.  In the On Damage event, my system checks if the Target Entity (damaged player) has a specific Entity Storage, then passes the info to that for the calculations.

    3.  The first thing to check is the Trigger Entity.  You can use the "Is Entity" tile to verify it's an object (and not the ground) which will narrow it down to other players or animals (and maybe cars?)...  OR check it against an array such as the list of players in a Role or Label.  My system adjusts for all damage, depending on what caused it, so I have script for both.

    Omg, I feel so dumb now.. Yeah between 2 entities. I've used it many times before. Maybe I should put down the smokes. Lol

    Lets pretend I didnt ask it ?

    There is a way to rig an event listener to capture ON DAMAGE for players.  I have one in use as part of a custom hit point system in one of my game modes I'm working on.  I'll have to look it over when I get home, but I do know it can be done.

    I didnt find anything on event listener that handles that. It might not be the easy way then... 

    If you can show me some pics ?

    Hello. 

    Maybe this was asked already, but we need a way to track where arrows, bullets musket balls, etc land. Or what item they hit. We can't get a ON damage for players. 

    Actually I can make a work around with spawning a trigger zone and enabling/disabling it to follow a player. But only throwing grenades will trigger it.

    Idea is, one example: shooting a "poison arrow" to damage a player over time.

    I can make it work with NPCs because they have a ON damage event. I then check what active weapon is active on the player that is shooting. That kinda check if it is a template bow and then I can script the poison HP. 

    Hope I make sense.

    They would have to add a "weight variable" to each item/object, or at least those items which could be transported. I don't see them making it happen.

    What about using some chests in the wagon and make them specific for some types? It would take a big list for the items that you can transport, but that way you can limit the "ammount" each chest gets and thus limit how much you can place at wagon.

    As from what I get from resources, you mean: logs, ores. It's a "tiny" list :D
