Hello

Here it is because someone ask for it

How to spawn a solid objects such as ramps, boxes lifts etc while you are playing.

Here's a little example:

What we need:
Entity 1.6UE (or whatever you want but i'll be using this)

My Phmo plugin:

right clic save as

1-Making an object solid

So, this is what i call a solid object: and object that has phmo and coll collisions when spawned but that can't be moved.

We all know that some spawned object can't be moved, you probably didn't think about why and how?

Here's the example from what my research was inspired:


A human turret, sounds stupid yes?

No that stupid, why is that stupid turret fixed to the ground, impossible to move while it's just a vehicle tag and others vehicles like warthog ghost etc can be moved, why?
Scnr spawning setting ? no
Vehi tag? no

PHMO!

I found an enum on phmo that defines if the objet is static so it can't be moved, and now it's found it's really easy to do!

Choose you object this can be a bloc, mach whatever has a phmo collision.

-go to it's phmo

-Open meta editor

Find the reflexive called "Phmo parts"



The phmo model is divived sometimes in many parts so take a look to the chunks, if there is more than one chunk you'll have to set all the chunks to static so the object doesn't move.

Set to "2" to make the object movable 5 to unmovable.

Notice that Vehicle parts refleive has this enum too, i am not actually sure if it's used, i can't remember why i named that one...

Of course you can use this to make unmovable object such as the human turret, movable.

2-Spawning Method

You can now spawn this object the way you want:

-Shooting with a weapon

-Via and effect:http://forums.remnantmods.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=219

-Scnr spawning

-Research and tut by neodos

That's all, have fun! :p

Nice job, that is sweet. Keep it up

Thank you ^_^

Thank you for posting this.

wow. thank you

this will be used ...

Perfect! now I can make the turret I've been dying to do but it always fell over. You're just full of things I needed

Hopefully seeing one of your mods soon :p

Your a genius neodos

Neodus thats pretty cool im just hopeing that its possible to spawn full collisioned scenery without using up those precious 99 netgame slots.
It always bugged the crap out of me that i had to sacrifice weapons and grenade spawns for scenery as it severly limited my map layouts and held back alot of things i wanted to do, there was so much more i was hoping to do with Nightwinder2 but couldnt due to the limitations.
i have seriously got to get back to modding again looks like its ready for me again

Thanks for your time.

For the mainmenu i fixed the plugin, for scnr placement chunks i don't clone anymore i add chunks from another map it works better.

Thanks E73RN4L i have a project in mind and it can be done either mp map (Headlong) or sp map (Old Mombassa)just depending on which map gives me the most options and allows me to add or edit the most.
If i used the SP map would that allow me to add more scenery/working machs/weaponspawns/ Etc????
As far as adding the chunks from other maps i remember trying that when i was putting Nightwinder through its paces but as i found there are certain limits to each map.
For example after taking Geminis mach pallet/placement and adding it to Containment i managed to add 4 more working gates to the existing switch.
however if i tried to add more than that either cloning or adding from another map they diddnt show up in game.
Now i know you have already covered this in another post so i know its possible, however im not sure if adding scenery with full collision without building it into the map then linking it to an itmc and spawning through the netgame is possible.
(like i said im getting back to it again lol please be paitent so the whole speak slowley thing and draw pictures helps alot

Thanks for your time.

I just got a fantastic idea for this

Thx neodos: using it right now ;p

Something I just remembered to post here:
This does not work over system link if client(s) do/does not have the modded map.
The effect I got was similar to that of massive lag, and certain objects not syncing from host to client, like on Relic i had shot down the sniper tower once, but my Auzzie friend saw it in a completely different place than I did...he looked as if he was standing on air when he was on top of it.
other than that I suppose it could be great.
sry for bump.

If you're playing mods the others are supposed to have the mod too

Me and a few buddies do a few mods here and there, nothing worthy of a release... and a lot of the people who play with us and
appreciate..somewhat.. what we do are people who do not even own a modded xbox.
--------------------\/
they always say something like "add this, or that" which gets irritating..

I uderstand, my tutorials are only meant to be applied to mods in which everyone has the modded mapfile

The Link to the plugin is down, Man i really need to do this, could i get a new link?

I want to upload it but anything that's about uploading won't work, its crazy , i even tried to post it as text in this post it won't work, my upload goes down after a few seconds i start uploading WTF
Jackson will post it for you later.
