Add the attached script to the appropriate entities (the ones in the video iow).

Set all doors/drawers and the globe to match the first image.

Set 'base' entities to match second image.

I'm trying to find out who made the antiques models btw (obviously not you ). I'd like to bring the big clock to life but there aren't any hands! Plus the top doors for the cupboard are missing and finally the separate globe model needs to be retextured without the shadows.

I've attached a wee helper script, if you attach it to a couple of active entities and go into test it will show you the relative x,y,z offsets between them. Write those down and use the values in the list in the script.

Obviously Lee knows who made them, i feel like i've seen this package as a complete room late last year which was incredibly beautiful and inspirational to see.

Slightly improved script. Now the globe can spin both ways depending on where you click on it.

Judging from the quality, I would say Rolfy or Wolf. But I can be wrong ^^

They were created by a coalition of top artists, and I had the good fortune to do a deal with the lead artist to bring some of their amazing art to GameGuru. Here is their site: http://www.dekogon.com/

@AmenMoses : Could you write a detailed request and I will forward it to the lead artist to see what he says. Be specific about entity names so I know what to point at, thanks!

@Lee:

1) Cabinet 1b is missing the two top doors which on their website are glass inset.

2) The Grand Clock 1a is missing some hands and presumable also a glass door for the front but as I couldn't find that on their site I'm not quite sure if it should have one or not. Also the pendulum model (Grand Clock 1c) is a bit weird in that it rotates around the origin which is at ground level, in order to use it as a proper pendulum it needs the origin at the top where it would hang from. I think I can work around this for now.

3) The Standing Globe 1a model has baked in shadows which makes it look rather weird when rotated (see the video!), could do with a plain version. (at least it has 'sphere' collision mode I suppose which is a huge step in the right direction )

@AmenMoses : Thanks for these, I will see about getting them fixed for the next DLC update. Would you be willing to share the edits you have made to make these items interactive? I am sure the original artist would be thrilled to see their assets come to life, and it would be a great boost to owners of the DLC

Feel free to send the original artists a link to the videos above, once I'm happy with the clock script and have found some decent royalty free sound samples to go with these scripts I'll post them here first ( the doors, drawers and globe script is attached already).

How to set this up?

This is so valuable, a real game changer when entities come to live in the games we make.
But i've tried the clock and nothing happens so i'm doing something wrong.

Attach the script to the clock, the hands, the pendulum and the weights.

Make all entities always active.
Set the clock to Physics on, isimmobile yes.
Set all the other entities to Physics off.

Oh and come back in about 25 minutes for my next surprise.

Still not happy with the pendulum swing but here is the latest script.

Attach sounds to the clock itself:
Slot 0 - tick/tock simply loops forever.
Slot 1 - Noon/Midnight pre-strike sound, plays once about 20 seconds before 12
Slot 2 & 3 - hour strike. Plays on the hour as many times as required.

Hi,
Well I have all the hands set up exactly as you say and they do not stay on the face of the clock when I test the game. They fall to the floor.
Is there a certain way to attach the hands to the clock face? I am just placing them on the face in the editor.

Many thanks

Hi synchromesh, I tried that it makes no difference, if I make the hands static and test the game they stay where they are, if I make the dynamic they fall of the face of the clock.....

If I do not attach the script they stay where I put them, when I attach the script they fall off the face of the clock.

Would scaling the clock make any difference? as I have the clock and parts a little larger to fit my scene....

Thanks

The only reason I suggested trying is that my pressure pads in my game will fall to the floor if ismobile is set to no ..
It just seemed to much of a coincidence not to try

Hi,

I finally got it all working, it was because I scaled the clock items up a little, and the script YO coordinates for the hands needed adjusting.
Well it is (according to the Grandfather clock) 1:45am so I had better call it a night.

Thanks All

@LeeBamber : All the files are in this thread, or do you mean make an example/demo level using them?

I'm not much of a level designer but what we really need is an antique style house or something to put them all in (including GraPhiX's piano and the Earthling45's alarm clock).

The problem being that I don't have the scripts I posted here anymore, the ones I have don't actually work fully at the moment because I was experimenting with being able to put items in the drawers and have the items move with the drawer etc and couldn't quite get it working properly.

I notice the cabinet, or at least one of them already has had a script added!

The latest grandfather clock stuff is attached to this post. Feel free to add that but in order to make it all work you need to follow the instructions in this post https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/220041#msg2605552

Also added the latest antiques script I posted here.

*** Edited to add alternative 'ao' texture file for globe ( removes the shadows ). ***

(oh and I am as busy as a one-armed paper hanger btw! )
