Basic Marble Blast Coding Q&A

Thanks anyways, Matan.

Edit: Thats odd, I posted this after you matan, but it showed up before (sorry for going off topic.)

That I don't know. Wait for someone else to respond I don't think it would though.

@Seizure22
In which file I could find a function PlayMissionGui:onWake?

I know I'm not Seizure, but it looks like that's in playmissiongui.gui.dso.

Speaking of playmissiongui.gui.dso...

Is there a way to change what badge (instead of GOLD) appears next to certain times in the menu, when you're picking you're level?

Like
Code:if(x = true)
{
badgeThingNextToTime=gold;
}
else
{
badgeThingNextToTime=otherbadge;
}

Kind of like how MBP has a Platinum Badge and an Ultra Badge, depending on what time you get.

I may not be Seizure, but that PlayMissionGui::onWake IS in the playMissionGui. We all also know how does the compiled file look like

Picklecow10:
The solution is pretty obvious, sorta, you need to do the same thing as in game.cs in client folder. That is, 'if' gets ultimate, display bitmap X, but 'else if' gets platinum, display bitmap Y.
Taking your example & slightly modifying it plus using the .dso posted above:

if(time < mission.madeuptime)
{
badgeThingNextToTime=<bitmap:marble/client/ui/path/madeup.png>;
}
else if(time < mission.suckytime)
{
badgeThingNextToTime=<bitmap:marble/client/ui/path/sucky.png>;
}

Since we told the game where to check for the image, we can tell it just to do %badgeThingNextToTime later on when it grabs the times (like in game.cs in client) and it'll display the proper path to pic, thus showing the proper pic.

I was actually told how to do that by Alex Swanson when I tried to make the Ultimate Time for MBP The actual code is different and has more into it but the general concept is in the example above and gets you what you need.

@ jeff

Change the material attributes directly instead of creating a replacement:

defaultmaterial.friction = blah;
etc.

@ Dobrák

You can't edit it so put that function at the bottom of main.cs and it should work.

@picklecow

Add some elseifs to the area just after this code in client/ui/playmissiongui.gui, inside the for loop
(or ask Matan if you don't have the .gui)

Code: %file = %mission.file;
getBestTimes(%file, %mission);

@Seizure: that's my main problem, I don't have the .gui

@RD Can I have the .gui?

I'm just really shaky on how to display the picture, I'm still relatively new to scripting.
Is it just something like, if I want text followed by a picture, I'd put:

text @ <bitmap:marble/client/ui/play/goldscore.png>;

Because something along those lines isn't working for me.

it is still not working

@picklecow: Try it without the extension perhaps?

@jeff: my advice is to google learning TorqueScript. With all of the snippets you post, it looks like you're just trying things and hoping that they'll work, sorry.

What I'm doing bad?

Did you close the function with a } ?

Also I thought seizure meant the root main.cs (but I'm not him so I don't know )

Yes i closed function with }...

You need to add the word function before playmissiongui::onwake:

function playmissiongui::onwake()
{
....

Removing the extension doesn't work.

I guess I may just use different colors instead of badges

Extention? but both mbg and mbp use it...

Anyway, here is MBP's, modded a bit for you:
Code:
if (%time < %mission.madeupTime)
{
%badgenextotime = <bitmap:marble/client/ui/play/madeupTime.png>\n;
}
else if (%time < %mission.suckyTime)
{
%badgenextotime = <bitmap:marble/client/ui/play/suckyTime.png>\n;
}
%descText = %descText @ <shadow:1:1><color:000000><shadowcolor:ffffff4f> @ (%i + 1) @ . @ getField($hs[%i], 1) TAB formatTime(%time) TAB %badgenextotime;

Hey, lately I've been trying to make a low-gravity powerup that the user can collect and use at any time, but whenever I use it, the game crashes.

Code:
Code:datablock AudioProfile(PuLowGravVoiceSfx) {
filename = ~/data/sound/LowGrav.wav;
description = AudioDefault3d;
preload = true;
};
datablock ItemData(LowGravItem) {
category = Powerups;
className = PowerUp;
pickupAudio = PuLowGravVoiceSfx;
pickupName = a Low Gravity Powerup!;
useName = Low Gravity Powerup!;
shapeFile = ~/data/shapes/powerup/LowGrav.dts;
mass = 1;
powerUpId = 6;
friction = 1;
elasticity = 0.3;
emap = true;
maxInventory = 1;
};
function LowGravItem::onUse(%this, %data) {
echo(Use);
Parent::onUse(%this, %data);
defaultmarble.gravity = 4;
return true;
}


Unfortunately, the PowerUp crashes MB, and it never echos Use. Is there anything incorrect with my code, or do I need to add handlers in inventory.cs and such?

This was just covered some days ago:

GOGO COPYPASTA!

*remove quote tags because the text is SOO SMALL, could you change the quote/code font size for the forum?*

That is because the default powerups are hardcoded in the engine, and there are no definitions of what to do for powerupid > 5. To fix this, you would need to edit the Marble::setPowerUp function to account for ID > 5 (and thus make functions to do what you want to accomplish) OR create a separate class of item object altogether (such as the gems are) with custom scripting to interface with the powerup variables, functions, and GUI element(s).

Nope, but you can add in tags


Quote:Hi Seizure!

Uses size=4.

Ontopic: If there were not to be any particle trail or extra particle shape ect. could you just put the powerupId equal to 0?

Offtopic: I am now an intermediate marbleler!

Bump:

I am having a problem. When I click the button in the playmission gui, the console displays the message of :

setContent(): Invalid control: HelpGui

I have built a HelpGui.gui and a helpgui.cs file. They both contain no errors because they have compiled into .dso

here is the button in playmissiongui.gui


Quote:
new GuiBitmapButtonCtrl(PM_HelpGui) {
profile = GuiButtonProfile;
horizSizing = right;
vertSizing = bottom;
position = 527 60;
extent = 100 50;
minExtent = 8 8;
visible = 1;
command = Canvas.setContent(HelpGui);;
helpTag = 0;
text = Help;
groupNum = -1;
buttonType = PushButton;
repeatPeriod = 1000;
repeatDecay = 1;
bitmap = ./home/help.png;
};

Whats the name of the root GuiControl in your HelpGui.gui file? Try recompiling.

I will have to check. Go on ggtalk so I wont have to post it here. I dont want anybody to steal my code. I did not even know that there is a root.

Sorry for going off topic.

BTW what the heck is a root?

The first GuiObject

Example:
(I boldfaced the name)

Quote:

new GuiControl(CustomMarbleDlg) {
profile = GuiDefaultProfile;
horizSizing = center;
vertSizing = center;
position = 0 0;
extent = 640 480;
minExtent = 8 8;
visible = 1;
helpTag = 0;


heh seiz, can you read it now?

HiGuy

bump:

yah, my roots probebly off. Thanks Higuy

Bump: Sorry for the double post

I am coding a secondary time for a friend of mine (kind of like ultimate time)

I keep getting an error report and everytime I try to fix it, it doesnot work.

Here's the code:

I am trying to code so that you can choose which audio music file you would want to play on your level for Joey's mod.

Here's my code, but it wont work

No santax errors present.

whats in bold is my new code.

this is in audioprofiles.cs

1) syntax
2) putting in

/[code] format does not work with bold well, its not easy at all. you need , would be easier

In wich file i can found function used for jump?
