#c script

Mod Notes by Battery: 

Warning !

This mod does not contain new gameplay or new Gameplay objects. In fact he mod does nothing but sitting in memory waiting to be utilized by other mods. So unless another modder pointed you in this direction or you are a modder yourself, you can probably stop reading here.

What is this mod ?

This mod is a C# Library of Methods and Classes that enable you to implement varios functionality in a simpler way then without it (see Features)

Why this mod ?

The mods i have created so far all share some similar functionallity that was only achievable through heavy modification of the original methods and classes. So my idea was instead of every mod reinventing all the changes and packaging their own version of the changes, i could just create a common library that my mods would use. After migrating the functionality to the new library i made changes to the methods and classes so that they became more flexible. This new flexibility gave me the idea to open up the mod for everyone who was interested in using similar functionality in their mod(s).

Challenges:

Be aware that updated versions might require you to change your code slightly, i will however not remove functionality of the mod in updates if not absolutly necessary. I will do my best to keep Compatibility from this version upwards.

Features

Slider Make changes a Sims appearance in game by changing the Size of the eyes, ears and other Sliders. (This mod does not contain custom Sliders but it should be able to set the value of them)

Menus Make a Nraas Like Menu to control your Settings and let the player customize them in game.

Export/Import At one point you might wnat to give the player the option to store their cusomized settings of your mod more permanently and further give them the option to import those to other saves. The export and import capabilities of this mod could be worth a look then.

Tasks Got a Method that is heavy on Compute time and you dont want it to freeze your game for a short moment with the included Threading functionality of the library its even more simple to run scripts on the simulator.

And more like Remoting and predifined generic delegates

The “Checklist” script, supplied by our games designed, allowed me to set up three logos in the 3DCoat scene that had to be ‘activated’ in order to proceed.

The second script that is used is the “TimeDelay” script, which our game designer designed to teleport the player to a different level after a timer reached a specified value. Once again, the script works off of a collision box, starting the timer when the player enters the box. Audio clips could also be queued off of the trigger. Additionally, the script “ExpandScript”, supplied again by the game designed, is used to make an object bigger when a player approaches it. This was used in tandem with the TimeDelay script to add a visual change to the game when TimeDelay was activated, letting the player know visually that they had activated the “program” in the game.

On the 3DCoat level, I wanted the player to interact with, or ‘break’, three objects in order to get to the next level. Our game designer delivered a script called “Replace”, which swaps out one object for another. With this script, I created two objects, one to appear before and one to appear after the player interacted with them (in the case, interaction being entering the collision box). When the player enters the collision box, the script makes the first object invisible, while making the second object visible.

An audio feature was also added, which allowed a sound to be played when the objects were “swapped”. This “Replace” script was also used ion the Windows scene on the Chrome icon and on a number of other objects, which were initially placed under the scene and out of view of the player, and when the associated collision box was entered an object appeared to spawn nearby, but instead was just being swapped in.
