Roads / RoadMain: how to join/link them?

[SurferIX]

In the editor: select the "RoadMain" type (2 => 1 => 1) then go somewhere, click, drag the mouse on a long distance from East to West. Do the same for North to South. You'll get that:



But if you try it by code:

Code: Select all

    RemoveAllBlocksAndTerrain();
    ComputeShadows();
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <0, 17, 2>, ::CardinalDirections::East);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <1, 17, 2>, ::CardinalDirections::East);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 2>, ::CardinalDirections::East);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <3, 17, 2>, ::CardinalDirections::East);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <4, 17, 2>, ::CardinalDirections::East);

    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 0>, ::CardinalDirections::South);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 1>, ::CardinalDirections::South);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 2>, ::CardinalDirections::South);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 3>, ::CardinalDirections::South);
    PlaceBlock(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 4>, ::CardinalDirections::South);

You get that:





Have you any idea/sample code how to join/link RoadMain?

[krial057]

There is a function named:

Code: Select all

bool PlaceRoadBlocks(CGameCtnBlockInfo BlockModel, uint3 StartCoord, uint3 EndCoord) 

Use it instead of placebolock

Code: Select all

    PlaceRoadBlocks(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <0, 17, 2>,<4, 17, 2>);
    PlaceRoadBlocks(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 0>,<2, 17, 4>);

(Haven't tried it out )

Try it oooooh pleaaaaaaase try it!
I've been asking for it for so long!

It makes TM² leave, it's buggy, and I'd really like to know if it's my own computer or if it comes from TM²!!

For me, it crashes too
It's a really strange bug.
However, I found something out that you can probably use as workaround:
if you place a block by hand in the editor, the function will work and will use the last manually created Block for the road oO
It is really strange, you can even use this to somesort of rixmix blocks!


Here is how to reproduce it to work:
For your example:
1: in the editor create a roadmain block where you want,
2: delete it again
3: create a new mansiascript with the wollowing lines:

Code: Select all

#RequireContext CGameCtnEditorPluginScriptHandler
PlaceRoadBlocks(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <0, 17, 2>,<4, 17, 2>);
PlaceRoadBlocks(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <2, 17, 0>,<2, 17, 4>);

4: start the script
5: you have your nice crossed road

To create the rixmix example:
1: in the editor create a decoration block, that you can not normally place in the air where you want,
2: delete it again
3: create a new mansiascript with the wollowing lines:

Code: Select all

#RequireContext CGameCtnEditorPluginScriptHandler
PlaceRoadBlocks(BlockModels["RoadMain"], <16, 17, 16>,<16, 17, 16>);

4: start the script
5: you have a tree block with pillars and you can even place other blocks under it

NOTICE: if you try to place the block you want as road with the maniascript function palceBlock, it won't owrk

Good luck with your maze script
