(nimsy) how to make a pyramid (stairs only)?

[slate ginkgo]

im trying to create a pyramid proc or something but im really having trouble with the corner's of the stairs because their shapes get fucked (the top is a slab)
here's what im doing right now:

      - repeat 2:
        - define layer_center <[center].below[<[value]>]>
        - foreach <[layer_center].backward_flat[<[value]>]>|<[layer_center].forward_flat[<[value]>]>|<[layer_center].left[<[value]>]>|<[layer_center].right[<[value]>]> as:side:

          - define side <[side].face[<[layer_center]>]>
          - define direction <[side].face[<[layer_center]>].yaw.simple>
          - define set_blocks <[side].left[<[value]>].points_between[<[side].right[<[value]>]>]>

          #if they are replacing another set of stairs, turn them into planks to connect them together
          - foreach <[set_blocks]> as:b:
            - define mat oak_stairs[direction=<[direction]>]
            - if <[b].material.name.after_last[_]> == stairs && <[b].has_flag[build]>:
              - define mat oak_planks
            - modifyblock <[b]> <[mat]>

          - if <[set_blocks].last.material.name.after_last[_]> == stairs:
            - adjustblock <[set_blocks].last> shape:outer_left

      #-third layer
      - modifyblock <[center]> oak_slab

      - define blocks <[tile].blocks.filter[has_flag[build].not]>

<[center]> is just a locationtag and the whole oak_stairs/oak_plank thing in the foreach loop is so any pyramids that are connected to each other turns the intersection between the two pyramids into oak planks instead of oak stairs to make the transition between the two less awkward

Can you post the full thing? That could help people who want to help you to understand it.

i literally told you

<[center]> is just a locationtag and the whole oak_stairs/oak_plank thing in the foreach loop is so any pyramids that are connected to each other turns the intersection between the two pyramids into oak planks instead of oak stairs to make the transition between the two less awkward

that's literally everything that has to do with the pyramid

!mechanism materialtag.shape

Mechanism: shape

Sets the shape of a block.
For stairs, input is the corner shape as INNER_LEFT, INNER_RIGHT, OUTER_LEFT, OUTER_RIGHT, or STRAIGHT.

<MaterialTag.shape> Returns the shape of a block. For stairs, output is the corner shape as INNER_...

[still iron]

the corners are inner_left, inner_right, outer_left, outer_right

you can use either outer_left or outer_right specifically, but your edges have to align with them

like, shape=outer_right has to align with two straight stairs

but if that outer_right material is a direction=west as an example, one has to be west and the other has to be north

...

yea that's what im trying to figure out

how can i can i connect the two together'

[still iron]

create a pyramid ingame and look at the material properties

your west wall will have stairs that face west

your north wall will face north

the corner can face either north or west, but it's shape has to be set to outer_right or outer_left depending on if you set it to north or west

if it faces west, it's outer_right

if it faces north, it's outer_left

just take one of the walls, keep the same direction, just change the shape

[still iron]

here's a diagram, i dont know how to elaborate this any better lol

/ex narrate <player.location.direction>|<player.cursor_on.material> might help you see it yourself?

do you see the pattern

look explicitly at the green; it's horizontal so it might help

all green blocks are north

if the block is on the right side of the green

the shape is outer_right

if it's on the left, it's outer_left

i did just verify this before making these by the way, i can actually understand the confusion

[slate ginkgo]

ok cool that's all i needed ty

[still iron]

no prob bob
