HI allot of these questions have allready been answer check out others threads in the forums.

Also check out the wiki.
http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... =Main_Page

Anyway i try to answer as much of these as best i can.

1: I think you have to type this into sandbox /playermodel model use the /to type the type pleyermodel then your model.
2: I have no idea what your talking about but to start a server you click server.bat and then to connect type /connect (your I.P)
Without the brackats.

here the wiki topic for servers http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... ve_Editing

3: Copy and paste your model into packages/model/yourfolder/yotmodel (not more then one model you will have to make a other folder.) then make a file exmaple a md2.cfg then lastly go into data/default_map_models.

Here the wiki topic about it.
http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... to_Sandbox

4: easy cube scripted here a little example a quickly made up for you.

Code: Select all

newgui newmap [
	guitext "Choice a new map size."
	guislider newmapsize 10 30
	guibar
	guibutton "New map" "newmap $newmapsize"
]

Here is the wki topic for it.
http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... Cubescript

But then to edit allot of the engine it is in c++ and c.

5: well basicly create a teleporter and a tele desk in the map end place it where you want and put it to level_trigger_1.
But you mean teleport to a diffent map then copythis code and edit it.

Code: Select all

newgui mymap [
guitext "You want to go to my map"
guibutton "yes"  [map mymap]
guibutton "no" "cleargui"
]

That is a simple code hoe you can do it.

6: There is one in the engine but because PAS is kid friendly i think it has been disable but i think i can get it running again if you want me to do it only needs some codeing.

Wow that is the most i ever type up to help a person anyway welcome to the forums and i hope you enjoy your stay.

Thanks Klimyriad

1. How to change you player model?

press the 9-key to change to some models, /playermodel 6 for a human model, and you can also be the dragon (models) or one of the other models, but you have to code that and I don't know how to

2. How can i have a client that only

I don't know what you mean too... sorry

3. How do i import models?

Look at Klimyriad's answer, you can use these as a player model too, but you have to code for that

4. what scripting language is used with this?

Cubescript, C++

5. How can i create more than one room?

Look at Klimyriad's answer, but you can make a larger map too

6. How can i make a battle system?

First of all: What kind of battle system are you looking for?
Platinum Arts Sandbox'll have a watergun mode in the future, and you can look at the spells used in RPG mode too, these can be used for weapons and such, but as Klimyriad says: This engine is child-friendly, so there are only child-friendly examples available (RPG and waterwars in the future), maybe you can take a look at Cube 2/Sauerbraten? This works the same as sandbox and has some weapons in it.

Hope this helps

[klimyriad]

The engine is not child frinedly remember it is based on the cube2 engine but the dev team made it kid friendly for the gamemaker.

But anyway you can activate the combat system again.

[daltonds1]

To make it connect to your server only. do this
Remove the button mutiplayer on the menu
and add this.

Code: Select all

	guibutton "Play"	"connect YOUR IP"

Have fun any more questions please reply

whoa, whoa, whoa... You can make a map of size 30?

4. what scripting language is used with this?

Cubescript, C++

A bit more on that, Cubescript is the game engine's language, and C++ was used to make the engine. Cubescript is mostly based off of C++ and also LISP.

whoa, whoa, whoa... You can make a map of size 30?

Yes We have gone over this already in the IRC

[chocolatepie33]

I'm not in the IRC, sorry.
