[2.0] House Paints - Paint just about anything...

[wensday]

I'm just having all sorts of issues at first I was getting the target message like everyone else was... I'm runing RC1 by the way.... I tried fixing this, and my new error is this:

Errors:
 + Custom/House Paint System/PaintCan.cs:
    CS1502: Line 140: The best overloaded method match for 'Server.Multis.BaseHo
use.FindHouseAt(Server.Mobile)' has some invalid arguments
    CS1503: Line 140: Argument '1': cannot convert from 'object' to 'Server.Mobi
le'

I'm a little fustrated that others have succesfully gotten this up and working. I think it would be an absolutely wonderful addition to my shard. Any help on this would certainly be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for helping fix the previous problem I brought up.. Now I have another I am not sure how to fix.. I read all the posts, but didn't see any
information on this one... Any ideas?

Errors:
+ Added Customs/HousePaints/Customs/House Paint System/PaintCan.cs:
CS0115: Line 30: 'Server.Items.PaintCan.DisplayWeight': no suitable method found to override

Thank you in advance,

DisplayWeight is probably one of the SVN features. I am using SVN 181 and so I have included some stuff that you might not have. You can comment out or delete that method with no problems.

Did you try getting my latest release? I think I got most of the bugs out. The only issue you might have with RC1 is the DisplayWeight issue like the others had.

Am I missing something? Once a player has painted something, they can't seem to be able to change the color get a msg that says "that not accessable".

Also I still have the problem of when house is demolished the painted walls stay. I tried puting this

#region Lokai's House Paints 
if (item is PaintedItem) 
item.Delete(); 
#endregion

in to my basehouse.cs but when I did, the painted walls would eventually disappear...

Anyone have this working so that you can repaint the walls & that the painted walls will demolish with the house?

- Painted walls are locked down when created.
- Users must Release the old paint in order to repaint it.

I think this concept is absolutely fabulous. I put it in and these are things I found to be issues/concerns

1. When you paint & it creates a duplicate/painted item in the exact spot, eventually they fall 'underneath' the original item making it appear as though the color reverted.
2. The painted items count against the player's alloted lockdowns.
3. When you customize some (not necessarilly all) the painted items go in to the moving crate and a gm has to delete them and then the ones that didn't go into the moving crate ended up in strange spots.
4. Players can't paint their front steps, foundations, or roofs.

I hope these issues/concerns can be fixed, I know my players would love to be able to use this. This really is a fabulous concept!

If anyone has an idea on setting a priority level or something so that the Painted walls display last, let me know.

As you can see, this was intentional.

Roofs are not included. I have not had th problem with steps or foundations. Anyone else have this?

Is there a way to set the z to plus one? this way it won't fall underneath the original tile?

Sure, just add 1 in the various parts where it is called. But it will look a little funny, also, if the original wall does show in front, then raising z will not help, since it will only stick up a bit, not out. You would have to increase x or y also depending on if it was an East or North facing object, what a pain. It would not be pretty I think. It would be much better if we could just find a way to give the Painted Item a priority somehow, like something that refreshes it when someone comes in range, but I imagine that would cause more lag than if it were movable again.

Could you tell me how I would set pi.Z = target.Z; to target.z +1 ???

Sure:

PHP Code:

                                    pi.Z = target.Z + 1;
