Erm, Stal, I coded those PUs. It was a bunch of work, and modified about 6-8 source files.
This signature is real code
Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

Quick question, not sure where to ask it:

Did we ever find out a way to give the player a powerup via console?

'cause I just managed to create a way to do that, and I feel like I read that it wasn't possible to do at the moment. So I wanted to check if nobody knows how to do it, or I'm just insane and never saw it before

Sounds like easy cheating but it would be fun to use.

I am not sure Picklecow. If you dont mind, would you post the code in the DK?

Edit: Where is the variable $Game::ScoreTime defined at in MB?

May post the codes in a little bit, but first I'm working on a better random powerup script- something kind of like a item wheel... not really sure how to explain it. Imagine the Mario Kart item system.

Not sure where it's defined, can't find it in the game files (may be defined in a compiled script).

It gets a value in the endGame() in Game.cs, in case you didn't already know that/helps you out at all

Like to hide it? Use %obj.hide(true); to hide an object, and run that in Marble::onCollision() in marble.cs.

Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

Hey, does anyone know how to get the exact camera rotation? By camera rotation I mean direction the camera (viewpoint) is facing. I tried using LocalClientConnection.camera, but that only relates to the Observer object, and gives me no values. I tried putting this in PlayGui.updateControls():
Code:$zCameraRotation += -$mvYawLeftSpeed + $mvYawRightSpeed + $mvYaw;

But that gives incorrect results.
So does anyone know how to find this? Thanks,

HiGuy

Thanks i found it.. I have another question abou Gui element. It will work if i make this code Code://--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN ---
new GuiChunkedBitmapCtrl(MarbleChooseGui) {
profile = GuiContentProfile;
horizSizing = width;
vertSizing = height;
position = 0 0;
extent = 640 480;
minExtent = 8 8;
visible = 1;
helpTag = 0;
bitmap = ./background.jpg;
useVariable = 0;
tile = 0;

new GuiControl() {
profile = GuiWindowProfile;
horizSizing = center;
vertSizing = center;
position = 65 126;
extent = 510 228;
minExtent = 8 8;
visible = 1;
helpTag = 0;

new GuiObjectView(ballobject) {
profile = GuiDefaultProfile;
horizSizing = right;
vertSizing = bottom;
position = 13 19;
extent = 140 132;
minExtent = 8 8;
visible = 1;
helpTag = 0;
cameraZRot = 0;
forceFOV = 0;
model = ~/data/shapes/balls/Marble_1.dts;
skin = base;
cameraRotX = 0.25;
cameraZRotSpeed = 0.001;
orbitDistance = 0.5;
autoSize = 0;
};
};
};

//--- OBJECT WRITE END ---

function ballobject::onClick()
{
//anything cool...
}
?

Or if not how to make code for click on object?

i am not sure for object. (higuy, seiz, matan, anybody) you can do that for a bitmap image though. It may be onUse though, I am not sure.

Have a GuiButtonBaseCtrl over the GuiObjectView, and use that for calling methods.

function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

I have been working on animated startpads but i have one huge problem. I enter level. Animation starts then stops and after i went OBB it isnt reseting and moving again. Target is to tell pad to reset animation after going OBB. This is Pads.cs that i use now for animation localhostr.com/download/B59Qitj/pads.cs
But i dont know how to code it so it resets after going OBB or restarting level.
In blender dts exporter i exported animation as normal that runs one time.
I also need to make pads.cs so that animation starts when you enter EndPad.

Maybe this works :

//

function GameConnection::onOutOfBounds(%this)
{
if ($Game::State $= End)
return;

// Reset the player back to the last checkpoint
PlayGui.setMessage(outOfBounds,2000);
%this.play2d(OutOfBoundsVoiceSfx);
%this.player.setOOB(true);
%this.player.startpad.playThread(0,pad);
if(!isEventPending(%this.respawnSchedule))
%this.respawnSchedule = %this.schedule(2500, respawnPlayer);
}

this is from game.cs.

you need to look in powerups.cs. However, the game is hard coded so that u only can have 5 powerupids, which is the 5 powerups besides gravity modifier and time travel since they are onCollision specific. You would have to create custom codes like opal did (which I am not suppling to people nor does even 90% of the staff have the codes (its that secrete)). Then, you have to first decide what you want it to do, on collision effect is fine since u don't need a powerupid though, such as mbp's easter egg, you could have it as a powerupid = 0 or no such dynamic field of a powerupId. if you want to do an on collision effect, its this syntax:

function theitemname::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col)
{
then write your commands;
}

Custom powerups are in this topic: marbleblast.com/index.cgi?board=mbdkcode...display&thread=11902

Here's a question: How do I modify the force magnitude of a mine? (i.e. Mine vs. Nuke) Whatever I try to do, it seems that the force is always the same.
