Hello all,
i'm back from a major hardware failure and update, so i have a new gear
After going to community vote page to adjust my votes i noticed some completed features, for example Blocking and Ai safe zones and lens flare.
I ran Gameguru to try these new features but i didn't find any "blocking" or "ai safe" zones in markers list...
How should i use it?
Another feature is lens flares, i ran a demo map and put "lens flares" to 100, but no lens flares are showing (i have "highest" settings on all shaders)

Any help here please?
Thanks!

so.. no reply?

The AI Safe zones are called Cover Zones in the markers tab. Lens flare is a feature of the post process shader set above zero, just dump in plenty of bloom and then point the camera dead center on a bright part of the scene and see the flare effect. You can adjust the effect metrics in the settings.fx file typically found here: "Steam\steamapps\common\Game Guru\Files\effectbank\reloaded"

hello and thank you for your reply!
that's funny because i have latest version and i have no cover zones available...
and what about blocking zones?
lens flares are now working thanks
thanks again.

Are you looking in the right place? Because cover zone's not entirely that new, it's been in there since at least 1.14.

Edit: just noticed your attached image, scroll up in the markers box, it's with the start marker.

ok thank you! found it!
however, since it place a marker like player start, i tried and i actually can't understand how it exactly work...
any clues please? (still looking for blocking zones)

As pointed out above these cover zone markers don't seem to do anything. I've had a look and this is the script for them, it's pretty much an empty script, how exactly are we supposed to use them?

The AI logic has/had code to find and use cover but I don't think it has ever worked reliably.

The cover zone logic has some issues I think as does the reload animation code.

I'm rewriting it but is taking some time as it's quite a state machine to keep track of now without easy step through debugging capability.

Cheers.

and what about blocking zones?

Oh... where is the blocking zone? This is new to me and what does it do? If this is just an invisible wall, I've had it since the beta FPSC Reloaded.

This is blocking zones, marked "completed" in community vote page.

For bots, create a floor zone and place the bots inside it - they can't escape into other areas of map ... except when you want them to ... you can use many floor zones and connect them with way points. Then the bots will walk between the floor zones by the route described by the way point path. It's the reverse of a blocking zone - a containment zone or a series of, connected by way paths.

For the player, I'm not aware of anything else (stock) other than placing invisible walls from the scenery folder and scaling them as desired to prevent player access to areas of the map.

EDIT: attach the 'playerblockingzone.lua' script to a trigger zone to prevent the player entering the zone ... is this what you were after for player?

yes something like this, but the bumping effect is really odd. however would like to know why you had to provide me a script when it should be implemented in GG.
wondering how many "completed" features are really completed!
thanks!

@yurif74 I noticed that as well on the voting board, its quite strange indeed

Perhaps it is only covered by lua scripts. The commands are still part of Game Guru after all, even if no script is provided. I think the Golden Ally supports this, but could be wrong, not really used GG much of late. You will find many things possible in GG that aren't covered by default scripts.

Blocking Zones for the player was resolved when the Scenery\Invisible Wall.fpe entity was added, which when placed at the foot of hills and impassable areas prevent the player progressing beyond them. The new AI system created something called Floor Zones (in the markers tab) which will contain enemies if you place them inside the zones when you design your levels. When the voting items are marked as completed, they are done to the satisfaction of the text description that accompanies them. They will never be completed to an exhaustive degree as we could easily spend 12 months on a single item and the nature of the voting board was to give everyone a little bit of what they most wanted, rather than subdue all features except the one with the most traffic. I think it's a good system that has brought many useful features since the start of 2017.
