Yay sooms is planning ugui

do you mean voice overs or npc dialogue in chat?

thanks that would be really great, can you possibly put it in the wiki for others too? i know you have a lot of work to do for the roadmap and instead of you coding in changes for us to do what we want to achieve if you can go into detail on how it works currently we can do the changes ourselves and then if you are happy we can submit our changes to you for future releases that way the community can work in harmony with you instead of being a burden, sure we will have technical questions but if you believe it is possible for us to make the changes now then all that needs to be addressed is the documentation really thanks again!

is that outside of our control? i'm just thinking that if i have to do other things like this in the future would i be able to add my own messages and if so can you show me where they are defined? thanks!

Hi Sooms, Thank you for the reply, this is really helpful So as for moving this over to the ClassAbility plugin i am wondering how i should handle my current hook At the moment the event will fire based on right clicking the item in my inventory So for example I have added a new effecttype into ItemDatabase.java Here is the code } else if (effectType.equals("BuildingMaterial")) { // Used to turn an item into a Building Resource when acquired //String value = rs.getString("effect" + i + "value"); //int resourceID = Integer.parseInt(value); tmpl.put(InventoryClient.ITEM_NAMESPACE, AgisItem.TEMPL_ACQUIRE_HOOK, new BuildingResourceAcquireHook(rs.getInt("id"))); } else if (effectType.equals("Blueprint")) { // Used to turn an item into a recipe when acquired String value = rs.getString("effect" + i + "value"); int recipeID = Integer.parseInt(value); tmpl.put(InventoryClient.ITEM_NAMESPACE, InventoryClient.TEMPL_ACTIVATE_HOOK, new RecipeItemActivateHook(recipeID)); } else if (effectType.equals("ConsumeAbility")) { // Mixxit - Used to turn an item into an ability when acquired String value = rs.getString("effect" + i + "value"); int abilityID = Integer.parseInt(value); tmpl.put(InventoryClient.ITEM_NAMESPACE, InventoryClient.TEMPL_ACTIVATE_HOOK, new ConsumeAbilityActivateHook(abilityID)); } At the point here, where I am putting the hook into the Item Namespace, are you saying I need to instead put this into the ClassAbility namespace? If so how will the event fire for the right click of the item?

it does thank you, i thought this was for admin :-)

What i don't get with a web framework is how it will create the necessary project prefabs that the current editor creates in Resources\Content when you make an item Can you explain?

Hi Shooms, Sorry to bug you on this but i haven't really been able to make much progress on this over the last few months and wondered if you can help Thanks

Hey Shooms, I dont want auto learning abilities, i am wanting to have clicky items that grant them So I modified the recipe hook script and made a new one from it to allow items to be consumed to give abilities But for some reason I don't see the ability on my action bar - I do however get a message saying I can't consume the ability if i try to use it a second time (it states i already know it) So it seems like I am getting the ability but it's not showing - any ideas why?

i want to post that this is how you stop the camera going underground the reason i necro this is because there is no searchable text to match the solution for this, just a picture which cannot be searched for so hopefully it will help others
