Nice, they are fences right?

You mean by using roof that in pins
uneven plover
A road deco would be nice tho
keen helm
Not planned as a road deco

Costumize able building, i like it
unique pivot
man I really wish I could allow decorations to overlap
I mean
I will make modulable building mod
with different sets of walls that allow different heights
different roofs
windows n stuff
even rooms to make them functional
so you will be able to achieve any size and shape
I will also add night animations to windows
so any building will have night frame
not much props because testing, also forgot to add draw ground
walls also can be used as fences
I think I will add like 10-20 floors and then skip to skyscraper heights
modulable skyscrapers 😋
I think I will make all needed code for one wall and then add more by copying and changed frame
unique pivot
I will need category for each floor height because walls... (don't mind the orde...
at least I can act cool about it and make fancy gradient
I will also add stuff for soviet blocks
I want to make modulable triangular roofs
but they need 16 frames (or something like that)
and I need to make changeable height
so I may need a lot of "frame":index and animation defs
and also few versions of that
maybe there is an easier way to make that?

So, I can't add several indexes in frame:index?
I guess it's impossible
😎
So sad I can't do something like this with walls or windows
with windows I can do something like
{anim, y:-6"frame":0},
{anim, y:-6"frame":1},
{anim, y:-12"frame":1},
{anim, y:-6"frame":2},
{anim, y:-12"frame":2},
{anim, y:-18"frame":2}
but the number of lines will be very large

unique pivot

Now I have 15 categories (each one with it's own height)
unique pivot
tall enough
And this is the tallest
Step is 7 pixels
I was thinking about making 15-20 categories, and then skip a few and add some skyscraper versions, as 40/50/60
So, something like 1-15 + 50-60
This plugin needs huge animation arrays but I guess there is no way to avoid it
What do you think the best height will be?
Should I leave it at 15 and skyscraper heights?

you can use real life colors, that really helps but be sure to pick the right color you want

important-ish poll regarding my residential building packs:
should i continue releasing my building packs as a single plugin (🅰️), or should i release them as separate plugins (🅱️)
option 🅰️: continue releasing building packs as a single plugin
i will continue releasing the plugins and updating the residential pack i already uploaded, however there will be less freedom of choice
pros for option 🅰️:
•you will not need to pay extra for other residential building packs (only applies if you're a mobile player)
•saves some clicks, i guess
cons for option🅰️:
▪there's less freedom of choice, as you will just install one giant plugin, and not individual ones
▪if you don't want some building, you won't be able to just remove it, as it will remove all the buildings included in the pack
option 🅱️: release the building packs separately
every pack will be released separately, and i won't update the other ones (unless it will be a night frame update)
pros for option 🅱️:
•there's more freedom of choice, you can choose which buildings you want and which ones you don't
•if you wanted to remove a building that you don't like, you won't remove all buildings
cons for option 🅱️:
▪you'll have to pay more (only applies if you're a mobile player)
▪you'll have to click more, i guess

But this will be a nice thing to do when I have more skill
Because everyone loves skyscrapers

Questions what a good program to learn to create plug-ins for beginners?
chilly mango
if youre on pc any tool like paint.net works just fine
as for the code you can use the plugin creator website for simple plugins
i reccomend vscode for more complex plugins that need manual code
fleet moss
What about GIMP?

@sick rune wow man made minecraft mod into theotown
chilly mango
Not enough items plugin when
sick rune
Too bad it doesn't work on slopes
chilly mango
Yeah
sick rune
I think I made that several months ago, but I never released it because of that issue
I can't think of a way to get around that limitation
uneven plover
I might change the factory tycoon plugin into "immersive factories" to match with Immersive Engineering 🤔
chilly mango
Maybe an option to get it with slope offset
uneven plover
it is not gonna happen real tho, just some dum dreams of myself
sick rune
It's so frustrating because the plugin is 95% done
That slope offset is all I need for it to work
chilly mango
My camera plugin still doesn't handle rotation properly
If you're in set points mode and rotate your city the points will not rotate
Also in random mode the endpoint will not rotate to the correct position either
Maybe I'll fix that this summer
Shouldn't be too hard with vectors
@uneven plover you should probably use vectors as well to store the locations of your buildings
A vector is really just a way to store an X and a Y value
And a z value but TT is 2d so idk why that exists
uneven plover
O.O
chilly mango
So instead of location_X and location_Y you can just have location as a vector
Then use location.x and location.y to get their values
sick rune
Thankfully, I figured out the rotation issue
That was a big problem for a while though
chilly mango
Yeah I'm not sure how to do it
uneven plover
So instead of location_X and location_Y you can just have location as a vector
soo it is an easier way of doing that you say
chilly mango
Without getting the view very often
chilly mango
soo it is an easier way of doing that you say
Yes
I use it a lot for my camera plugin
It makes the maths look a lot simpler
I already get the current view more often than I want to
Cuz I need the current zoom level
sick rune
I had to put it through some equations to get rotation to work
if City.getRotation() == 1 then
x, y = City.getWidth()-1-y, x
elseif City.getRotation() == 2 then
x, y = City.getWidth()-1-x, City.getWidth()-1-y
elseif City.getRotation() == 3 then
x, y = y, City.getWidth()-1-x
end```Yeah
Shouldn't you buffer the result of city.getrotation
And the city width as it doesn't change after entering city
Man if they ever introduce rectangular cities both our plugins would break
sick rune
Probably, yeah. But I don't care enough to fix it unless the slope issue gets resolved
uneven plover
-- Offsets the x and y coordinates if the city is rotated stupid question, what is this
chilly mango
If the city is rotated the top left corner will still have the coordinates 0,0
uneven plover
no I mean --
chilly mango
Probably, yeah. But I don't care enough to fix it unless the slope issue gets re...
Fair enough
Ah
That denotes a comment
sick rune
Comment
uneven plover
like // in json?
chilly mango
Yes
uneven plover
oo nice
uneven plover
oh okay
chilly mango
You can do --[ for a multiline comment
Yeah
They filter those out manually
JSON doesn't usually support comments
uneven plover
can I do this to split them?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
sick rune
Dang bots
chilly mango
Wym to split
chilly mango
I guess
sick rune
To split sections of the JSON?
uneven plover
fancy
chilly mango
-- just makes the rest of the line get ignored
So do whatever
Lua can be hard to keep clean
Especially when a ton of gui callbacks are involved
uneven plover
I am just doing baby steps, thanksfully lol
chilly mango
Gotta start somewhere
uneven plover
I hope they will start running
chilly mango
My first version of the text placing tool is extremely messy
sick rune
Most of my lua is held together with duct tape and broken dreams
chilly mango
I rewrote it all before I could work further on it
Will probably finish it this summer vacation
And also make that op plugin viewer
sick rune
I thought about a plugin like that
chilly mango
Although someone else might beat me to it now that jas revealed the table
sick rune
Another table that probably wasn't documented
uneven plover
I have this question, that getbuilding code is from lobby's code example kulche gave me and I used to put spaces after commas. Which is true?
chilly mango
I might make a lil tool for viewing the contents of the city storage tables
chilly mango
I have this question, that getbuilding code is from lobby's code example kulche ...
That'd how you're supposed to do it but it doesn't matter
sick rune
I think a tool for viewing contents of tables would be great for developing plugins
That probably would've helped me with those GUI plugins I made
chilly mango
You could probably "hack" some plugins by modifying the contents of the city storage
Like the regional bank
sick rune
Gross
sick rune
lol
sick rune
Fun was tedious, but I liked working around its limitations
I had some "unique" ways of storing information before virtual variables were added
uneven plover
what happens if I use getdraft in update script
chilly mango
Ja will come break your kneecaps
And you'll reduce frame rate
Getdraft is an expensive call
Don't use it more than you have to
sick rune
You've measured it?
uneven plover
I am going to reduce all fps with my bad code thingies
chilly mango
Nah I'm just repeating ja's words
sick rune
Ah
chilly mango
Before he comes to break my kneecaps
uneven plover
I gotta make two functions for one thing then I guess
chilly mango
Only thing I've measured it how I can artificially reduce frame rate with a busy loop in script: update
Might release that on forum at some point
Useful for simulating a low frame rate
sick rune
Yeah, that would probably be a good tool
chilly mango
But the concept worked
Tru
Also doing animations by chaining runtime.postpone calls is a neat trick
uneven plover
do you think this will work for buildings with car spawners and buildings those are target?
chilly mango
Yeah you could repurpose that
uneven plover
it looks good for the sandspider but I feel like once you build a new building the target changes to new one or smth, I dont know I am not a coder
chilly mango
Instead of the whole isbuildable thing you'd spawn your car there
But also
You'd have to select a target building
From possibly multiple
uneven plover
soo I have to use it again for the target building
chilly mango
Essentially yes
uneven plover
but vectors better
chilly mango
For organization i prefer vectors
But I had to keep track of like 5 different X and y values
Vectors are just an organisation thing and doing what you've been doing works just fine as well
uneven plover
oh nice
chilly mango
I preferred vectors cuz I needed to do a lot of maths with the coordinates
You don't really need to do that
uneven plover
yep, cus your camera moves
chilly mango
Ye
And if you do vector1 - vector2 it'll subtract both the X and Y values
So it simplifies it
uneven plover
now my last dum question, what happens if I dont use count for car spawner in json and let lua do the work?
chilly mango
No clue
Guessing you don't even need the car spawner in the JSON tbh
As the script handles all of it
keen helm
Hello
uneven plover
hi
uneven plover
me too except the dream I was dreaming about years to play with
didnt really made the textures for it yet, just wanna see if the codes do
chilly mango
I dont have the time right now
My textures are all just downscaled images 
Except the text placer icon
Proud of that one

@livid agate you gonna break lobbys kneecaps for calling getdraft every frame?
uneven plover
he probably already did it
chilly mango
Explains why we haven't seen lobby lately

it's called daily
which still isn't great
but much better than 60 times per second
chilly mango
It's gonna be a lot less than 60 times per second at this rate
Although spawning a car every day might be a bit much
uneven plover
still, tried everything. City.spawncar isnt working for me
chilly mango
Try using set coordinates
Like
Put a buildings in 2 set spots
Like the top left corner
The use those
That way you can confirm it's not your coordinate system that's at fault
uneven plover
I literally used lobby's code quote for getting x and y jusy put the getdrafts in an init script :c

Does anyone remember how to save variables to a city?
It's been awhile since Ive done something like that and I'm having trouble finding tutorials and examples
signal lagoon
City. getStorage?
sick rune
That sounds about right, maybe I used it in an older plugin
surreal oasis
Can someone help me with code?
signal lagoon
what's the problem?

Is the night anim for fences code the same for buildings?

Does anyone knows what's the name of this plugin ?
frail monolith
Its not available yet but its made by Ankhatori
dreamy hearth
okay the traffic lights plugin is glitched
it wont stop spawning traffic lights for some reason
the only way I could remove the deco was by spam clicking it while removing it
dreamy hearth
oh nevermind turns out that if you turn on support for multiple road decos, it'll spawn nonstop
golden escarp
Ah, makes sense.
dreamy hearth
they should really patch that
golden escarp
That would help.

Oh okk
Thanks
chilly mango
That sounds about right, maybe I used it in an older plugin
local settings
function script:init()
--get settings table
settings = Util.optStorage(TheoTown.getStorage(), '$cinematicam00'..':settings', {})
--get values or set defaults
settings.speedMultiplier = settings.speedMultiplier or '1'
settings.mode = settings.mode or 'random'
settings.firstStart = settings.firstStart
if settings.firstStart == nil then
settings.firstStart = true
end
end```this one uses theotown.getstorage for global storage
use city.getstorage to get it for the city
uneven plover
I will probably try to use count and give income for now, then I can explode my mind with spawncar
