Loading Level Resources With Lua (view source)
Revision as of 21:33, 25 September 2021
, 21:33, 25 September 2021→Decoration Meshes
(added/updated methods for changing triggers, markers, decoration meshes; updated some info about rails, hulls; made wording more accurate about "level objects" vs "level resources" - those categories should probably be split into two pages) |

They can definitely have individual variables modified by running <code>Names["The DM's ObjectName"]:function</code> with the same kind of code found inside the DecorationInitialize function (found in DecorationMeshes.lua); | They can definitely have individual variables modified by running <code>Names["The DM's ObjectName"]:function</code> with the same kind of code found inside the DecorationInitialize function (found in DecorationMeshes.lua); | ||

Here is basically how the Decoration Mesh constructor table is formatted (this is the Sphinx in Level_Graveyard): | Here is basically how the Decoration Mesh constructor table is formatted (this is the Sphinx in Level_Graveyard): | ||

DecorationMeshes.lua includes a DecorationMeshes function (mostly commented out) and DecorationInitialize function, which seem like they could convert data in a DecorationMeshInstances table to Decorations and load them into the Names table, but there is no DecorationMeshInstances table ever created(?), plus the DecorationMeshes function needs to be passed a DecorationBarn as "decBarn" and there is nothing like a game:decBarn()/decorationBarn()/etc. It is not yet known if/how we could call a usable DecorationBarn in Lua. | DecorationMeshes.lua includes a DecorationMeshes function (mostly commented out) and DecorationInitialize function, which seem like they could convert data in a DecorationMeshInstances table to Decorations and load them into the Names table, but there is no DecorationMeshInstances table ever created(?), plus the DecorationMeshes function needs to be passed a DecorationBarn as "decBarn" and there is nothing like a game:decBarn()/decorationBarn()/etc. It is not yet known if/how we could call a usable DecorationBarn in Lua. | ||

Rails are invisible lines drawn between a set of point locations, which may be "closed", as in the last point connects back to the first point. They seem to mostly be used as a path for an object/etc to move along, but are also used for other kinds of things that are based on a "2D" line in space - like some wind walls are an infinite flat plane stretching up and/or down from a Rail. | Rails are invisible lines drawn between a set of point locations, which may be "closed", as in the last point connects back to the first point.
