| − | == Naming conventions ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As all infoportions share same name space, some standarts of naming should be followed to avoid collisions.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Inventory-related infoportions are prefixed by "inv_" | + | |
| − | * Level-related and level-interaction infoportions set by level designer are prefixed by the [[Blood Omnicide Locations | worldnum and mapnum]] they are targeted to (w1m1_, w1m4_ etc.)
| + | |
| − | * Kain's eventual comments (snow, rain etc.) are prefixed by "comment_".
| + | |
| − | * Global infoportions always prefixed by #
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Usage ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For level designer, generic way to access infoportions is [[Trigger event]] and [[Pattern script]]. Trigger event allows to add new infoportions or values (in the form of counters). Pattern scripts allows to check for any infoportions (including gamecode-related, such as gamestats).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To make life easier, it is useful to name all infoportions using this rule:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <font size=4>'''''mapname''_''objectname''_''eventhappened'''''</font>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Typical mapnames:
| + | |
| − | * w1m1
| + | |
| − | * w1m2
| + | |
| − | * etc
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Typical objectnames:
| + | |
| − | * button1
| + | |
| − | * secretbutton
| + | |
| − | * barkeep
| + | |
| − | * brigands
| + | |
| − | * etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Typical events:
| + | |
| − | * '''k''' - killed
| + | |
| − | * '''a''' - activated
| + | |
| − | * '''p''' - pressed
| + | |
| − | * '''o''' - opened
| + | |
| − | * '''c''' - closed
| + | |
| − | * etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Typical usage of infoportions for level design:
| + | |
| − | * In some maps, there is two or moreentities representing same NPC (like barkeep in Ziegsturhl tavern), when one is killed, another ones should be removed too.
| + | |
| − | * Open doors, activate stuff in another levels.
| + | |
| − | * Spawn more enemies when kain kills someone.
