Firefly Level Editor from scratch

FireflyLevel Editor from scratch

I saw the LVL editor and was inspired to do the same. But where do I start, I have some wishes regarding how to program it.

I have made a small version of it, the length of which is not optimal to build on.

I will do it with ini and subs and global values.

I am about to start an editor made in fusion firefly dlc and I found some errors while doing it.

Billboard (cannot find fixed value via mouse pick)

When you create a primitive object you can only choose 4 items, whereas you can choose 6-8 outside.

Here is small version if you want to check it out!

Here Im finish with the Primitive Object, Build a room...

Billboard (cannot find fixed value via mouse pick)
Billboard (cannot find find spread value)

There is no contact with Billboard object if you wish to make a level editor in firefly?

fnkycoldmadeanr do you know how you do that?

1. Should I use Fixed value or Spread Value?
2. When I pick or click on Primitive , how can Billboard parent to that?
3. Also load in right order?

Thanks fnkycoldmadeanr

I have an idea how this works for parenting. Actuelly you have an primitive and billboard joined to it. I work now with ini and found this way very hard to code, I think I gave up here. too complex for me.

Sencond I have try something. I finish up the primitive version with a new design too.

mesh object didnt work with loops with load image and obj. If I use always I can see the object`?

not without giving it a new texture for each box! If you make a picture that is twice as tall as box 2
1. 32 * 32
2. 32 *64
and so on

* Repeat Val(GroupItemString$( "Ini", "meshnumber", "number" )) times
+ Every 01''-00
Mesh Material Cache : Load Material 0's First Texture from Appdrive$ + GroupItemString$( "Ini", "mesh" + Str$(value( "test" )), "texture" ) (using Fixed( "Firefly Engine" ))
Firefly Node - Static Mesh : Load Static Mesh: Appdrive$ + GroupItemString$( "Ini", "mesh" + Str$(value( "test" )), "3d" ), ZUP= 0
test : Add 1 to Counter
Firefly Node - Static Mesh : Load Material GetMaterial( "Mesh Material Cache", 0 ) into index 0

Im trying to load image and obj tru an loop. But real loop do not work here, to fast. I have 5 items and wanted to load top.obj in 0 and tree.obj in 1!?

Right now all item change together...

+ Primitive (Ball, Arrow, Plane will not work with a image when reload, only cube!)

Hello Please login to see this link.

Do you know how to parent in multiple objects. I save into ini. Load back from ini into a loop. I can place the balls (primitive) but I need to parent via a loop?

* On loop "loop primitive"
+ GroupItemString$( "Ini", "cube" + Str$(LoopIndex("loop primitive")), "hide" ) = "1"
+ Only one action when event loops
Primitive : Set visibility to 0

Hi I trying to hide primitive via the code above! But all primitive will be hidden! How can I pick only that one primitive to be in hide mode, only?

Yes Phi I understand it now. Also the loop thing.

I use pick mouse on primitive and pick mouse on primitive 2, will they conflict? it seems that I get diffrent fixed values, im not sure!

Should I get one pick mouse to all things? (qualify groups)

I was trying the tree object, but someting I cant do, check dropbox file - tree map. I have a problem here to get values of many objects, multiple objects, how can I get values right?

I know ini is slow with listbox, but that's the only thing that work for me right now.
