introduction ponder

[TulkinRB]

using the command /create ponder we can apply an introduction ponder sequence explaining the idea of the modpack and showcasing the different colors

Welcome to your newly aquired automaton! Our new models can help you achieve your dreams! The following are important features you should learn before embaking on your exciting new extra terastrial activity!

• The automaton is indistructible!
• The automaton has powerful arms that can break any block!
• The automaton does not eat, does not sleep, and does not break! (terms may apply, no warranty)
• The automaton can anylise blocks and devices using the patented JADE system!
• The automaton index is used to lookup device interactions and machine processes!
• The pattented SUMMERY system is used to provide concise, research based, up to date information about anything you may desire! (unless research was not done and submitted to our network*)
• The new brass actuator legs will allow the automaton to jump mid air twice! 100% more than last years model!

Need to also comunicate the magnetic wrench somehow

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

Where are we siting here? Is the model + the hiding the parrot missing?

Ye - waiting on the frabic PR

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

you can still do this

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

we just can't replace the player

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

Lets do it then

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

status

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

git pull

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

You can open a PR to my branchhttps://github.com/EngineerSmith/Create-Prepare-to-Dye/tree/introduction-ponder with the parrot remodelled + offset

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

engineersmith_4628 do the wheels still spin when moving the parrot around?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

no

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i can't remember how velocity works

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

Not in ponder anyway

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

ponder isn't real entities - imagine it is being telelported around

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

Maybe it should describe the usecase better, I don't think people reading this understand why and what it is lol

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

engineersmith_4628 on Discord says

I don't understand it either; and I don't think Kiki did either when he made the change lmao

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

i literally told kikis what to call it when i asked for the commit

Must have been missed

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

as in, we can't make the automaton react to the parrots head rotation, velocity, etc

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

cant we make this but with no parrot visible?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

because that would be much better than a parrot already

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

I barely achieved that and it just doesn't look very good

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

i think it looks pretty good

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

fair enough

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

I'll see if I can trick it into giving me a velocity via just calculating difference in position

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

not perfect of course, but not too junky either. Looks profesional enough to be in the into

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

so we just need to solve hiding the parrot

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

im not terribly hopeful given how locked down create is, and the deeply unpleasant dev process

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

like you need to export and reload a resource pack

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

what happens if we just make the parrot texture invisible

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

does that do what i want?

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

it'd work, I guess

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

feels like a terrible solution

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

only if we plan to use parrots, which we have no solid plans for so far

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

otherwise it sounds like a good enough solution for this issue i think

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

would it be better if the wheel didn't spin in that case

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

urgh this is all so frustrating. why couldn't John ponder have invented a better ponder system

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

that works with entities

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

we work with what we have

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

mod and hack is a very thin line

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

and we are doing both and with layers

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

so it has its unplesent sideeffects

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

but if we want to progress we have to live with what we have and move on, then revisit if we have the resources to do so

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

remember that before we had deviced I just used casings

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

a choice im still very happy with, as it let me keep designing the game until a very competent person came along and made better devices

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

yeah

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

autistic.sack.of.friends on Discord says

yeah

[Discord-Github-Bridge]

yarden.zamir on Discord says

awesome, then well give that a go. The video shows whats already commited right? So just need to add transperent texture?
