Bah I've been developing this damn Zap Door (not originally coded by me but by: ThealmightyLastBanana) and I was wondering if I can get something to attach to the main body and yet it wont work what ever I recode the particles as...

In theory I have it working 50+% but:
1. with a "null" pixel as the head I cant buy it (or if I am making this up then some other factor I'm unaware of... fyi Buyable = 1 is already included)
2. because of #1 I can't test it
3. it wont work until I can get the said part to work, but it'll appear in-game and everything fine

I am trying to become a good modder but I'm relatively nooby atm
also: POST IF YOU NEED THE WHOLE.RTE
please help, here is the file for your understanding:

First off, check the "/* */" commenting tags you have, the closing tag isn't complete.

Second off, you're looking for the Misc group in the scene editor, right?
(In the buy menu, AHumans automatically show up in Clones, and AddToGroup is ignored.)

"First off, check the "/* */" commenting tags you have, the closing tag isn't complete."

well it didn't work with */ at the end so I removed the/ and it worked

yes I know this... what makes you think I don't :???: ? (the fact that I'm posting for help on variable class essentially? :( )

Mostly the fact that one can never be too careful.

So, I substituted your Door.ini for my own (since I've been playing with the PlasmaDoor for a while now, and already had the requisite .rte in place), and I think I know what's wrong now.

When you put " /* " into your .ini, the game ignores everything after it. It doesn't stop ignoring everything until it sees " */ ". The reason why it worked when you took out the " / " is because the game did not find a " */ ", and therefore it continued to ignore everything until it reached the end of the file. Thus, the AHuman you were trying to use as buyable plasma device was ignored by the game because you had inadvertently commented it out.

I might also add that your AHuman is looking for some nonexistant objects (check the Legs and Arms), and is the reason why the file was broken in the first place.

haha... your wrong, how do I know this because I'm god and secondly because I got a lot of errors whilst coding the AHUMAN thus it was reading the AHUMAN bit
this means that everything you said in your last post is false even this:
"So, I substituted your Door.ini for my own "

where is it? :-(

p.s you know I'm not serious, I would never offend anyone this is the internets :razz: :P

Trade secret.


In any case, I suppose I'll reiterate myself.

1. The /* has commented out your AHuman because you broke the */ closing tag.
2. That's why you can't find your AHuman in the menus.

to not hurt your feelings im going to say this nicely: don't say I must finish with */ AGAIN as I have already said:

"IT DIDN'T WORK WITH THE "/" ON THE END" (for whatever reason-so I removed it o.k...
when I wrote it I added "/" instinctively so don't mention it again)


thank you anyway you just made it so I didn't have to do it myself... (as I was gonna do it anyway if you don't believe me look at any clone its obvious what was missing)

also when I said "download" I actually meant for the thread you posted I thought this was obvious but... (obvious ending of this sentence is obvious if you cant think what it MAY be then: "I thought it was obvious")

edited for clarity

Demented > You.

Also, what the ♥♥♥♥ are you babbling on about?

You make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

for you sir, here:
IGNORE the name ok change it if you want /need?

it is called that because it is easier to implement it there in my situation as it would appear in the scene (which is there because I wanted to make it a module and just stayed there afterwards) it is for personal use and wouldn't be released with that name IF YOU FIX zTESTBED SEND IT BACK TO ME

edit: file didn't upload:P (I didnt forget)

@grif there is a few grammatical errors but it makes perfect sense if you visualise the grammar

So like. I tried to make this already. Won't work unless it's preplaced in a scene. You can't buy it and place as a module.
