Edit Functions!

I've included every function I could find!

Ahhh that's cool! I can see the longitudinal shape of the brute plasma bolt in that function plot. Curious to poke around with some of the other chunks.

You are on a roll lately!

Update!

I've added every function I could find!

Supporting all these tags:

  scen
  vehi
  weap
  effe
  jpt!
  lens
  ligh
  MGS2
  prt3
  PRTM
  tdtl

Wow, I didn't know some of these tags even had functions on them. Time to put on the mad scientist jacket and goggles and see what happens!

I think I've been through all the tags now... Fun to look at this stuff. I'm a little confused though. Some functions show what looks like a linear increase, although the Y min and max values are the same, effectively making the function constant. Not sure why it's mapped that way. There are functions that look linear that also don't make sense, namely the ones that are scaled by something else in the game (e.g., the needler ammo in the FP model). I can't think of anything I would do with that at the moment though.

The numeric up-down buttons don't seem to work, and when I try to change the Y min and max (looking at the covenant turret MGS2 radius for example), the save doesn't stick. Is this shared data somewhere? I have not yet loaded my tests on the xbox - I'm trying to make a nice round MGS2. Edits to the bezier curve for radius and color do seem to stick, so I'm optimistic about that.

Liking it so far...

It's important to remember that the functions were created by a people and so discrepancies like that are very likely. It's possible that it's my mistake but I did check it as much as I could.

Could you give me a bit more explanation as to what you mean by this?

Do they save for any tags? Or is it just the one you mentioned that doesn't save?
(Can't remember but I may not have implemented the save for certain function types, but I thought I had done them all...)

Some tags do share functions, refer to the relevant reflexive in entity to see if data is shared.


I can't look into it just now as I'm AFK but I will try to later this week.

Could I get a copy of the source to this?

I tried changing radius function a few different ways on the mgs2 for the covenant plasma turret, and all my changes resulted in an invisible mgs2. Can you see if you can change the shape of an mgs2? You'll probably want to slow down the projectile a lot to see it. The changes did save in the editor. What functions have you successfully changed?

I'll clarify my previous post soon.

Had a look at a few things,

The needler ammo function looks correct to me, I'm assuming it is linking the amount of ammo in the current clip to the number of shards on the back of the needler model.

You were completely right about the number inputs, I had forgotten to implement most of them...>_<

I have successfully changed the tint of the teleporter plasma drift effe (tiny balls of light at the base of the teleporter) from green to purple.
You might be able to make use of the functions in that effe for your ball of light.

Anyway, I've uploaded v2 and the source to the main post.
Let me know if you have any more problems.
