Modding Help Ways to remove items/pixels other than recipes?

Yeah, that in hand thing was the first thing i looked at when trying to find a way to remove things but no luck either.

I did just work out a way to make a crafting interface have a recipe with a random output every time you open it. I just hit another brick wall with that though because it will not randomize again until close and open it again.

It would work even better with campfire type crafting but a campfire is a container interface and not a crafting interface so i can't open it from a script.

 

By that do you mean that one could craft an item, then keep crafting to continue getting that same item repeatedly?

 

Just saw this post for the first time.

I've created a slot machine.



Right now, for testing, I just have to activate it with E, but the release will take a dropped copper ore as payment until we can have objects "charge" pixels.

There are 7 random "pips" that can come up. Lemons, cherries, bananas, bars, sevens, shamrocks, and diamonds. Rolling 2 or more of each will give a prize, except lemons which are a loser. Cherries give tomatoes, the bananas give bananas. Bars, sevens, and shamrocks give pixels. Diamonds give diamonds.

I just need to add sounds and it's pretty much done.

 

Thanks.

I use world.itemDropQuery to loop through all the nearby dropped items (just in case there are more than one) and then

Code:

if world.entityName(targetId) == "copperore" then

to see if it's a copper ore, and then

Code:

world.takeItemDrop(targetId)

to eat it. There's more, of course, but these are the important parts.

I *should* make it take the dropped ores as credits and display the # of credits, and allow you to hit E to roll, but animating those numbers would be tedious.

 

Combine this with my previous idea (it eating tickets which are purchased with pixels) and you basically have this idea in place
Please tell me this is going to be released soon. My gambling addiction hungers.

 

Got some great art from Skizot, so I just need to add some audio and it'll be done!

 

Yeah, I would need a way to force the interface to close after every craft.

Well poop, that is what I was going to play around with this morning. I got to caught up in the random crafting idea last night.

I always take to long playing around with these things and someone beats me to it.

 

Ok, finally released it. Enjoy!
