Well...if nobody else wants to get presents from such a skilled coder...here's my next wish

I have a day-night cycle depending on the sun_angle.pan (%360). Now I'd like to have an hour-day-month-year counter that depends on the sun_angle.pan (360' = one day...90'=noon, 270'=midnight)...Do you want to give it a go?

Jeez...on any othe day I could have thot of a dozen requests.

What a time to go brain-dead!!

Okay, here comes one that I haven't been able to figure out for the life of me.

I have a spaceship model, and I move it through my level. When it gets to within 100 quants of the outside of a planet model, I would like it to orbit the planet, left to right, facing slightly towards the planet. I would like it to continue orbitting the sphere and present a menu to the player, allowing key input or mouse clicks on the menu, until the "X" key is pressed. Once pressed, the menu should disappear, the ship should smoothly turn away from the planet, escape orbit by 50 quants, and return steering to the player.

Problems that I have had are that the spheres are different sizes, and everything that I do seems to focus on the origin of the sphere and not its perimeter. I either end up inside the planet model, or way too far away.

Might be too much, but hey, you asked!

Cheers

lol, try using the min_x/max_x for finding the size, and then add an offset to it.

offset = 100;
distance = (my.max_x - my.min_x)/2 + offset;

This will return the distance [radius] from the origin of the model to use...

i have a request... can you make a forcefield bubble code that only appears around the body of your player when hit? i want to use as a primary health and keep the actual health as secondary in a 3rd person shooter. so the code has to decrease after every hit, i guess it should have a max of 100 hp. can you do this? by the way, how can i use this code with a plbiped01 code in the templates?

i also have a request, do you know how to do a quake3 style cheat code input system?

at my library wdl online is a cheat input code dunno what quake style means

@Loopix: Something like this should do it
Code:

---

define hours_a_day, 24;
define days_a_month, 30;
define months_a_year, 12;

define time_offset, 6;

var time_hour;
var time_day;
var time_month;
var time_year;

function TimeCounter()
{
	var check;
	
	while(1)
	{
		while(1)
		{
			time_hour = sun_angle.pan/(360/hours_a_day);
			time_hour += time_offset;
			time_hour %= hours_a_day;
			
			if(time_hour > 0.9){check = 1;}
			if(time_hour < 0.5 && check){check = 0; break;}
			
			wait(1);
		}
		
		time_day += 1;
		
		if(time_day == days_a_month)
		{
			time_day = 0;
			time_month += 1;
			
			if(time_month == months_a_year)
			{
				time_year += 1;
				time_month = 0;
			}
		}
		
		wait(1);
	}
}

@Manslayer101: I don´t know either what you mean with quake3 style...

@Blink: Try this
Code:

---

function Shield()
{
	my.passable = on;
	my.transparent = on;
	my.red = 0;
	my.green = 0;
	my.blue = 255;
	my.light = on;
	
	you = my.parent;
	vec_set(my.scale_x,you.scale_x);
	vec_scale(my.scale_x,my.skill3);
	
	var MaxEnergy;
	MaxEnergy = my.skill1;
	
	var Temp1;
	
	while(you)
	{
		vec_set(my.x,you.x);
		vec_set(my.pan,you.pan);
		
		if(you.skill2 > 0){my.skill1 += min(my.skill1+you.skill2,MaxEnergy); you.skill2 = 0;}
		if(you.skill1 < 100 && my.skill1 > 0)
		{
			my.alpha = my.skill2;
			Temp1 = min(my.skill1,100-you.skill1);
			my.skill1 -= Temp1;
			you.skill1 += Temp1;
		}
		if(my.alpha > 0){my.alpha -= time_step;}
		
		wait(1);
		you = my.parent;
	}
}

string ModelFileName;
function Shield_Activate(Pointer,ShieldEnergy,ShieldAlpha,ShieldScale)
{
	you = Pointer;
	if(you)
	{
		str_for_entfile(ModelFileName,you);
		
		you = ent_create(ModelFileName,nullvector,Shield);
		you.parent = Pointer;
		you.skill1 = ShieldEnergy;
		you.skill2 = ShieldAlpha;
		you.skill3 = ShieldScale;
	}
}

Add this at the top of the plBiped01.wdl (make a backup of that file before...)
and write this at the end of the action PlBiped01:
Shield_Activate(my,100,40,1.13);
The players armor is the shield enegy to start with.

I wasn´t able to test this so if you get any errors, just post your error message here.

hello,

I would like the following script if you wouldn't mind.

When an entity/bot with an id between 2 to 8 hits an invisible block in it's path then it will jump forward.

I posted this here:
