Construction ingame menu script

[matias]

When i use

EVENT("OSDSELECT","BuildOSD:001")
{
*buildingconstruct %PLAYER% 3 Tower
}

EVENT("PlaceBuilding","3")
{
$newBuildingID = sysAddBuilding( 3,$gPlayerID,$gPlayerX,$gPlayerY,Tower,25,75 )
}

A ghost model appears in the center of the tile but when i place the building its placed in the corner... how can i make it to be placed where the ghost model is?


I use placeing mode 1 in game settings

sysAddBuilding uses map coordinates, what you're looking for is 'sysAddBuildingWorld' and you'll need the player's world rather than their map coordinate.
e.g.

Code: Select all

EVENT("PlaceBuilding","3") 
{ 
$newBuildingID = sysAddBuildingWorld( 3,$gPlayerID,$gPlayerWorldX,$gPlayerWorldY,Tower,25,75 ) 
}

but that places the model where the player is not where the ghost model is i need to place the building in the center of the tile

I searched in forum and found the sysGetTileCenter( $worldX, $worldY ) but nobody used it yet or posted a script example

ah ok.. that sounds like a bug which i'll need to look in to.. the sysAddBuilding should match the placing when in positioning mode 1.

Meanwhile, i think you can get the same effect by using the world coordinates and calculating the tile center as shown..

Code: Select all

EVENT("PlaceBuilding","3") 
{ 
$worldX = sysGetTileCenter( $gPlayerX )
$worldY = sysGetTileCenter( $gPlayerY )
$newBuildingID = sysAddBuildingWorld( 3,$gPlayerID,$worldX,$worldY,Tower,25,75 ) 
}

Nop it doesnt work it makes a building error and i have to re import an old save to correct the error

mm.. looks good to me and is used on aramathea to place towns without problems.
try replacing the 'sysAddBuildingWorld' with a

Code: Select all

*say Coord: $worldX , $worldY

to see if the variables are being set correctly? (I presume the error is comin from having a building at 0,0)
