Horizon Scripting Class: Economy 101

[@kevinbarraza1423]

Are there any more videos on scripting? I would like to see how to make a gun shoot, and how you can make enemies come towards and attack and adding health. 😬😬.. great videos...!

[@Vidyuu]

This whole playlist is great for learning scripting, and even includes a video on how to make a gun :-) Let's Start Scripting kzbin.info/aero/PL-A-AKbB7UL78OWbIrHfrkJ5G8dWU6MRD

How did you get money as a user persistent variable

[@JoshWegener]

Loving your videos. I'm new to horizon, I don't know what I'm going to build first. But I was thinking a spooky maze, where you have to use a flashlight... is there anyway to make a persistent variable across worlds??

[@Vidyuu]

Got a few things I’m gonna send to you that I think might be interesting and worth watching… but first, I am a huge supporter of wanting to get persistent variables across multiple worlds, currently this is not possible. But there’s definitely some work being done on it and as a community the more we ask for a feature the more likely it is to be added :-) You can build doorways to the next world, and in that world have a code for the player to enter …

[@Vidyuu]

So flashlights are difficult for now, we don’t have dynamic lighting yet, so one option is: Facebook Horizon: Flashlight Breakdown kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2arh3-qd9B8a80

@@markbradshaw5393 it works identical and is found in the same spot, the difference is disable = false, and enable = true... ie Disable TriggerObjVar => Set Trigger Detection for TriggerObjVar to False Enable TriggerObjVar => Set Trigger Detection for TriggerObjVar to True :)

[@familygaming9793]

Hi, first of all thank you for all of the great content you put out. It has been very helpful. Secondly, do you have any kind of discord or have any kind of platform/service to off help to people that might be struggling with particular issues? I'm creating a world where I need to initialize objects in different positions relative to other objects and am finding this difficult with no global variables and only one script that you can attach to an object. Would I need to create an init type of script tied to a trigger that is executed when the world is created and then broadcast an event with params to 20 different referenced objects? Also is there a quicker way to create object reference variables if there are a bunch of them?

[@Vidyuu]

Thanks for asking! We use the official Facebook group for this, definitely recommend joining us here: facebook.com/groups/horizonworlds/ Let me explain to you what I do normally, and see if this helps… Create a pyramid object, this is your controller. Create your trigger or other object, and have a variable referencing the controller. You can then duplicate this object and it will retain the reference to the controller. On the controller instead of broadcasting out events, send an event to self like this: Send VarUpdate to self with param:Variable1, var2, var3 When VarUpdate is received with var1, var2, var3 //comment or other non essential codeblock is added to make sure the event is received On the other objects, When World is Started - Connect controlObject VarUpdate to local event VarUpdate When VarUpdate is received with Var1, Var2, Var3 - set localvar1 to var1 - etc

[@familygaming9793]

@@Vidyuu Thanks. I don't know how I could have made that work in this case because I had multiple sets of objects which I needed to transform the positions relative to the other object within the set and also relative to all of the other sets. This would require that all of the objects be aware of the positions of the other objects or it would require an external script which holds references to all of the objects and sets all of their positions. Option B is what I ended up taking. It was kind of annoying setting up 20 different reference variables but ultimately it got the job done. Based on your reply I did spend some time taking a look at how to connect an event which I see can be quite powerful. Keep up the good work!

[@jonathonlazar6865]

Where do you find “player persistent variables” ? It is not under my settings. All I have under settings in the build menu is “build and Comfort”. There isn’t any “Player” sub menu. Also my sun menus run vertically on the left hand side and not along the top like in this video. HELP

[@MiguelExhale]

Wonder if I can 3D scan my old neighborhood and make it a level on a game I like.

[@Vidyuu]

That would be awesome! Tip though, things are actually better if they are closer in VR, in the real world we use cars or bikes, but when you have to actually walk that distance it’s not as much fun. If you haven’t seen the village, previously murder village, I encourage you to check it out, it’s a really fun world that is laid out in a way that’s easy to navigate and has quite a few places to see during the gameplay :-)

[@japanesecinema6736]

Please help me. I am so frustrated. I am trying to make an elevevator platform that goes up when you stand on it and then goes back down. What i have tried is making an animation of the elevator going up and back down. I made a trigger that takes up the whole space. When player enters trigger it plays animation so elevator goes up and then back dow, but it only does it once cause i have animation set to loop never. How do i make it to where everytime someone steps on the platform it will go up and then when they step off it goes back down.

[@japanesecinema6736]

Also if i set it to loop back and forth, it just constantly will go up and down once player enters the trigger and never stops. I want it to stop when it goes back down and only trigger when player steps on it.

[@Vidyuu]

You could do when trigger is entered by player - play animation When trigger is exited by player - pause/stop animation Pause would be cool if you want them to wait for it to come back down. Stop would reset it back to the bottom. Also consider using occupied and empty events for better user experience: Opening Door Script Tutorial (Facebook Horizon) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h56qmKqFpcqtp7c

[@japanesecinema6736]

@@Vidyuu i tried to do the when player enters trigger and then when player exits but it messes the script up. It acts like the player is exiting the trigger even though I am still occupying the trigger space and then the elevator platform stops. I want the platform to go back down after the player exits the trigger zone so that players on the bottom floor can use the platform to get to the 2nd level.

[@japanesecinema6736]

Maybe I need to just skip the animation and move the platform using script and some type of if/else statement but i dont really know coding that well.

[@Vidyuu]

That's definitely the best way to do it...you could of course have the platform simple stay in motion so the player just has to wait 2-3 seconds if they miss the previous one.....

[@DankFranks]

This prob sounds dumb but I've never been able to actually save a photo I take. It times out before it saves anything and I'm just stuck with the "Saving..." box. Any help?

[@Vidyuu]

No dumb questions, that’s very interesting, usually you just wait, max of 60 seconds, usually 15… if you can record a video of taking a picture and waiting for it to appear on the selfie stick screen, this might be some new bug that needs to be patched. 😅 You can share recordings like this in the official Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/horizonworlds/

[@Chatmanstreasure]

Can the money be saved for returning players or once you leave world you have to start over everytime you join?

[@Vidyuu]

Great question, the player persistent variable, is persistent between sessions, so in short yes. In some of the worlds I create, I clear the variable when the world is entered by the player. It’s gonna useful if you have a variable such as health, or some thing other than money. Hope this helps 😁

This request is something I have been considering for awhile, and I actually started work on a path finding algorithm back over Christmas...but the question is, what would you want the NPC to do? I've got a few ideas, health, fight, wander, NPCObj Enters trigger, causing various animations to play...or even unlock certain things. But at this point I am stuck, it seems like it would be difficult to make a universal NPC script that is actually useful. With that said, what would you want your NPC to do, or be capable of?

@@Vidyuu I'm reviewing those new albums with vids showing examples of scripts in the Horizon Worlds Community. Specifically looking at limitations and local scripts. It gives an example that includes persistent local variables, local script manager and default scripts. Could this be used to keep a player money balance constant when visiting worlds with similar local script managers?

[@Vidyuu]

@@MokisWorldHub Great question, unfortunately not. I believe the example shown is how to interact with World Specific Player Persistent Variables as Local scripts are actually unable to interact with them and have to communicate with a default script to get this information. Hopefully this helps clarify :)
