Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

One thing which I am still quite confused on is the aspect of 'attributes'. I know they are the last 4 0s you see (0 0 0 0) at the end of a mapmodel... but through my searches I've only found what a few of these actually are/do. If possible, could somebody list what each attribute slot controls, and what the various inputs there do for the mapmodels?

Also, I see a number of notes in some of these tutorial and help forums that say to look at the *.cfg file of certain maps for help. When I open up such files (in notepad) they come up blank... which is why the above request is being made

the last four attributes are (in order):

-trigger type
this is the type of interaction you have with the model
this page has a list of all the types- (scroll down)->http://sauerbraten.org/docs/editref.html

-the level trigger tag
this ties a script written in the .cfg file to the model, if level_trigger_1=[...] is written in the cfg file, placing the number 1 here will make that code run on this model

-radius
the size of the sphere for interaction with a model, the larger the number, the farther away you can trigger a model

-color
applies a color onto the model. press F3 to easily edit the rgb values

are you sure? try opening the village.cfg file, that has some scripts worth perusin'

That was actually helpful! Thanks! Now I just have to figure out how to script it so hitting a lever ties to opening a gate...

and yes, I'm sure... all my *.cfg files that came with when I downloaded sandbox appear blank, though all their scripts appear to be operating on the corresponding maps...

I think the trigger command would work, it goes something like this (please correct me if I'm wrong)
level_trigger_# is the switch, trigger #2 is the "door" or gate you're trying to open. the 1 specifies a value of true, which could mean activated. For this to work, the switch needs a trigger type of 8, and the gate a type of 11.

again, this might be wrong, it's been a while since I've used this.
