[Mod] /disttocore

[Salminar]

Heyas,

 

I have been looking for the boss lately and was a bit in trouble to make them appear and then having to manualy calculate the distance from the core again and again to be sure i'm in range bored me a bit, so i used Aki's command mods to make my own really simple one that would display it to player.

 

So thanks to him for the original sethome script i took as model

 

 

Files :

data\scripts\player\cmd\disttocore.lua

data\scripts\commands\disttocore.lua

Again, the same case as with /agoods. With few changes I would gladly accept pull request with this command for the package. You will be listed as an author along with e.g. me and your command will be accessible easier through single package (when the Steam Workshop support will come out).

[Salminar]

Yes of course, feel free to add it to your package. Since i used your code it's the least i can do lol.

[Aki]

Yes of course, feel free to add it to your package. Since i used your code it's the least i can do lol.

 

Point is I wanted you to add it so it will remain your contribution in commits. ;)

 

Or, I think, I could rip it from your repository along with your commits, heh.

[Salminar]

Yes you could do that. Just take it from my repository, if i make an update at some point i will notice you.

[Devious]

Nice, this will help a lot with finding the bosses :)

[Salminar]

Small update to round the value and prevent the long display of digit.

 

So it's the final version i guess.

This is the perfect mod that I didn't know I needed!

It was getting old calculating it by hand each time xD

Bit of a noobie question here.

Can I use this if I'm just playing a normal single player game or do I have to actually set up a server ?

 

Also is there a guide for using mods like these ?

[Salminar]

If you play on single player, most of the scripts will work just fine. The way this game is designed is a bit different from most.

Basically you have one script, and only one part is used on the client and another on the server. Don't know if what i say is clear but, it will be ok in single  player and far easier to use in single player, like most of the scripts you will find here.

[Mcleod]

Cool thank you, set up these files and mod is working fine  :)

 

Now I know I've been looking in right area for science labs - just can't find any lol

[Enzo Matrix]

This is perfect.. also science labs where are you! In right area but none showing up :(

[jupiter878]

All of Aki's commands seem to be working, but when I type /disttocore or /help disttocore into the console, nothing is printed out. Both disttocore.lua files are installed in their correct spots. Am I looking in the wrong place? Any help?  :(

[Salminar]

That's strange, are you running it on a dedicated server?

[jupiter878]

I'm not sure, but I'm most certainly running it on my singleplayer world.

Well i'm sorry but i can't find the issue. The script is pretty simple and inspired from aki's command pack and is even now integrated in.

 

The only thing that could prevent the script from running is when you install it on a distant server, you need then to allow it for all players, but it don't seem to be your issue.

 

So i really don't know what's wrong, it run well on my computer and on the distant linux server i use for tests.

maybe you could try the showdist command, it provides the same functionality ... would be really interesting if that script works or if you have a more general problem...
