My first prefab

Hi.Here is my first prefab "The Maze". It's nothing special, but how to start to learn creating prefabs, if not by doing.

*delete* cause overwork... download avaible at new post

2 questions:

Is it easily possible to make generators keep the motor and fuel?

And what happens if i wire things, will it "stay wired"?

Congrats to your first prefab release! Regarding your questions - You cannot save electricity related data in a prefab. So, no generators will lose their engines and fuel. Wires will be removed from the poi.

It might be possible using mods though. I don't know.

 
Thanks for ur answer. What a pity, so no "evil" pois are possible ( traps,.... ). On modding iam newbie too, only knew some basic xpath commands.

You can still build traps which don't rely on electricity but the possibilities are limited.

 
sure, but i dont mean only traps...working switches for lights was my first thougth.

And did it work to download it from dropbox? New to that too :D

 
As a small tip for a new prefabber. Be carefull with water. It can screw your game. Had big problems in A16 and today A17 tried to screw me again.

 
@Pille: Thx for the answer

@Royal Deluxe: I dont talk to bread :D . *jokeoff*: indeed, i placed water for the fountain in the middle, it flows below the ground level and makes the poi collaps at testplaying. So i removed all water.

 
It can make the game crash.

If the game suddenly stops rendering grass or produce Trees with only 1 HP it can be the water in Prefabs

a little add:

Waterblocks are fine IF THEY HAVE THE RIGHT ATTRIBUTES !!!

But Prefabs that were saved with the ingame-editor have strange Values on Meta and Rotation after saving !!!

This is why all Vanilla-Prefabs that contain water are secretly corrupted.

To fix this problem u have to edit and clean the waterblocks with pilles editor

U have to fix MetaValue to 0 (instead of 2) and RotationValue to 0 (instead of 8)

Just be sure to not save the prefab with ingame-editor again or u have to clean it up with pilles again !!!

I reported this Issue in detail already in A17.0 - but got no Response (like always LOL)

It causes to force strange terrain-errors, waters not showning, water can have wierd gfx-glitches, and more

This Issue not only belongs to RWG - the corrupted prefabs do spawn in Nave too.

IMO this is a nasty mayor bug - I wonder why the devs dont care about that?

(it took me about 5 mins to cleanup all waterblocks in all CP-prefabs with pilles editor)

btw there are several kinds of waterblocks:

256 : terrWaterPOI

257 : waterMovingBucket

258 : waterStaticBucket

259 : waterMoving

260 : water

Idk which is the best One - Iam using 256 (sometimes also 260) in the CP and think they are OK
