Setshape2 generator

[DustyPorViva]

Made this little script up at the spur of the moment. With larger setshape's I know it can be a pain to make via text so I made this up. It works in game by holding 'T' and making a selection of tiles with your mouse(this means you should lay the shape out in the level first), when you let go of your mouse it will pop up with the code. Let go of 'T' first to cancel it. After the code pops up you can change the indentation to more easily copy/paste into your code(in case you may need to put it in a few nested statements). Newly added GS1 option as well.


And just for the hell of it!

Heh, that's pretty awesome. I never thought of doing it this way. Nice work.

[cyan3]

Nice idea

[Tigairius]

Nice

[LoneAngelIbesu]

If you're inclined, a GUI where you can 'draw' the shape over an NPC image, and where you can choose the tiletype to draw, would be very awesome. Essentially, you would select an image, which would be shown inside a GUI. From there, you select your tiletype and click on parts of the image.

Every now and then, I get the urge to make something like that. I'm always too lazy, though.

This script should help out a lot of LATs. Good job.

I have to admit, this idea intrigues me a lot... but I wonder if it'll really be worth the effort in the end. I'm wondering if the benefit of it all being in one integrated system would actually be that noticeable. Especially when you consider that people are more familiar and comfortable working with tiles(pics1) than say, a color-coded layout of blocks to define the tiles. In the end I'd have a system that replicated all the functions of a level editor(in order for it to be as familiar as possible, it'd have to function like the level editor with bucket-fill and such), but for a very simple purpose. Ideally something like this would work way better in a level editor itself, like the hex-generator, than as a stand-alone, but that's not really possible to do.

You just saved me some time down the road with this one!

Edit: The comments look angry.

[DustyPorViva]

Well added a GS1 checkbox that will toggle between GS1 and GS2, since I figured this is something that would be used in the offline level editing as well.

This is really cool!

Cool stuff, I'm now going to experiment with setshape2. I was never aware of the potential this command actually has.

I personally think it would be valuable. Valikorlia is uses NPCs for so many different things that can't easily be replicated in tiles. For a large block of trees, which are used to make a kind of modular forest, it took me about a half our to get the setshape2 right, so that players are able to walk through it.

It does sound like a lot of work, though, which is why I've never tackled the project myself.

lol I tend to cap my comments so they're easily distinguishable from the code at a glance, rather than hunting through.

Thank you so much, this will make using setshape for our online needs a tad easier
