in the pic above, the check armor block is used to continue the game if the armor inv is empty, else it will "bounce" the player with a teleport block and say "take off your armor first!"

What happens actually is that it allows the game to continue despite players having armor on. It is no different than a no-op block

Blocks

• "Start dialogue"

Execution

• with normal code-flow
• with npc/mob on_right_click

This happened on Damocles (Sam Nukem level 1).

Co-Operation playing

Player collection/start block

• Execution stops for a given time at that block to allow players to gather

Execution strategies

• Branching
  • Should everybody follow the same "path"?
  • What if someone deviates from it?
• on_check
  • When are the checks successful?
  • If everybody is (for example) on the waypoint or just someone?
• What to do if a player quits?
• Limit fill_chest, spawn_mob and co to only one call

• modify score block (add/subtract/set)
• highscore block (last n players)
• data storage in json format per "game/domain"

conditional: checks protection on a position

On a local game, using the unstash block does not seem to restore the inventory saved by a stash block

With a basic setup, a stash block, and unstash block, and a function block pointing into each - when the inventory is stashed by executing the stash block it is not restored when executing the unstash block.

I did a little logging to try and figure out why this was happening, it seems that the ctx.data variable is empty when we would expect it to have the stashed data available at ctx.data.stashed_items

Stashing seems to work, it executes fine and logging it out shows that the list at ctx.data.stashed_items is being added to, it seems to me that the context is not persisting through multiple calls properly.

This also happens when the local game is hosted as a server, not just singleplayer mode.

I would like a block that clears the current player's inventory. This would be useful for removing an epic's game items before returning the players stuff from a saved inventory.

the use case would be to use the stash inv to save a player's inventory, then have the player run around the gameboard collecting items as part of the game, such as diamonds, and when the game is finished, all items are taken away, and then the original inv is returned. that way subgame items can remain sub-game-specific

I want to set it up so that a subgame grants fly for 10 min.

I set up an on_abort that revokes fly, but when I get the fly priv, then leave the game, then rejoin, I still have fly, and have it permenantly. This will be a way to get the fly priv permenantly if the bug is not fixed, so I can't to that right now.

Parameters

• Texture icon
• Message (with replacements)

Add an api that extends mobs_redo to add mobs that when they "catch" a player by getting within punch range, throw an epic event that can do something like start a level over or end the game. This will allow super-mario-esque enemies that must be avoided rather than "conqured", or, which, when they get you, cause a certain action with epic. Another application is that when you come near a mob, a function runs that gives you a prize or a key.

when an unstash inventory is called from an abort callback, the inventory is not replaced. It is replaced if it is called from a @sympbol block. In my case, users can type "/spawn" to leave the arena, as well as type "epic_abort" During the main game, if the leave the area (with /spawn), it is detected by an inverse waypoint, and the cleanup function is called. That method restores teh cashed inventory. However, when players leave with an /epic_abort, their inventory is not replaced.

I am also trying to implement clearing the inventory of game items before returning the player's cashed inventory. That doesnt seem to work eaither (I was using a command block with /clearinv @player

something with pretty pictures in markdown format

It would be nice to have a block that could set a whole area to a certain node. Also, one that swaps the position of two nodes, maintaining inventories and metadata with the new location.

When you place a send mapblock block and then rightclick it to set it up, the server crashes.

To test

• Simple execution (start -> message)
• Branching

Open issues

• Testing without player online?
• Intercept chat messages / teleport?

highscore-issue

players on my server can avoid the stashing of the inventory by using bags. This allows them to pull in items that allow cheating on the subgames

Affects the area_effects mod

Perhaps with some example setups

With safer_lua:

• Demo: https://github.com/joe7575/safer_lua/blob/master/demo.lua
• Issue: joe7575/safer_lua#1

If you place the blocks with the green sides facing each other you can easily enter an infinite loop accidentally, cuasing the server to crash.

With my setup I placed a start block and an unstash block next to each other, on executing the start block the game enters an infinite loop and crashes.

The mod should either

1. disallow this kind of placement, possibly with an error message
2. detect this kind of loop at runtime and refuse to execute it
