Addon Script Generator
- Thread starter Arya
- Start date
Some improvementes I would like to see (I'm a newbie admin):
1. Exporting/Importing selected items/statics to file, something like xml - this will avoid to recompile; and could be used to "import" structures from other programs.
2. Interactive test placement, with undo. Right now I have to "place and remove" many times until I find the correct location ... I get stuck in moving these big addons; and very often I throw them somewhere in hyperspace.
hummmmm, I'm wondering if I can add these features by myself.

ainis,
Placing addons is very easy, because the whole addon is considered by the server by the whole object. You can use all the [Inc commands [Set and [Remove commands on a single piece of the addon, and the changes will be reflected to the whole building.
Also you might want to check the companion script to this one: http://www.runuo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37925 It's a statics copier that has some of the functions you've been mentioning.
If you wish to move large buildings around your shard, this script isn't your best choice. I suggest you go to http://www.orbsydia.com/ and have a look at UOArchitect which is a program that will do what you said and more.

I created a StableDeed but,
Arya,
I created a stable, piece by piece by hand, that has working gates into the stalls inside the stable. I then used the Generator to create an addon/addondeed. ( I figured, hey..some players may want to put a stable in for a fee...I can have a standard one done.)
The stable is great! It is duplicated right down to the stuff I cannot see! hehe.
Two downsides for me and I was wondering if they can be overcome or should be added after the addon is produced:
1) Doors/gates in the addon do not function and cannot be altered as they are a part of the entire static now.
2) Spawners cannot be included as they will show as objects in the static but will perform no functions as they are now a part of the static.
I love what you have provided to the community and humbly ask for your input on your creation! *Bows deeply*

YOu have to create the item without doors or anything movable... then you can add them after you place the item.
First of all keep in mind that players can place addons only in houses. Staff can place them anywhere, but players can't.
If you want to make an addon with usable items, you must tweak the script produced by the generator and manually add doors and any other items players should be able to use. Also if you want them to be able to place it anywhere, you'll have to override that as well. Also keep in mind that the addon will not function like a house, players will be able to mark and recall inside and anyone will have access. If you want to change that as well, you'll have to apply a region too.

The best way I've found at this point is to take and use either Mortis's Mod of Fineous's static house system I was going to post where the link could be found but its in subscribers script requests under my name. But Fineous reposted his statichousing script and I think its publicly available. Although I would love to see Arya add this into her systems since every single one of them released so far including the box (although I miss the Huepicker being built in). I have the auction system this and the staticcopy added into my shard at this point. Iwas thinking about adding in the Talk NPC as well. I was on OSI for the first time in ages and noticed something about clicking on house signs it brings up a list of vendors in the house which I thought was a nice feature... I'm going to see if houses have this feature now if not im not sure what ill do since I dont even have any Idea where to start that modification.
I'm sure this is gonna sound stupid, but I did an add on for a vanity. It made the script but now I cant make one using the script. LOL. What is the command for adding it? Name of file is vanity. I tired [add vanity, [add vanityaddon, everything I could think of. Am I doing something wrong?

The addon generator saves the scripts in a folder named the Box
This folder is in the root runuo directory, not scripts. Its a simple matter of moving the scripts you create into the scripts folder.
