custom item!

[katshuwa1]

Hi everyone,

I want to add custom collectible items in the track. Let's say 'coins' for example which can be collected along the tracks. How can I go about doing this? Can it be accomplished through addons? Do I edit tracks? And do I also program the game so it recognizes these items? Can ayone suggest where I should start? Thank you all.

Hi,

I am afraid that this is not possible at this time, sorry. Maybe you can explain what the advantage of implementing this feature would be? STK does not currently have a scripting engine so there is no way that custom items could do anything until we implement one (which won't happen soon due to lack of time)

I wanted to pop up words instead of say 'gift boxes' so kids could learn few short words while playing the game. If I wanted to implement this, my question is where do I start?

I actually had a kind of 'trivia' mode in mind (for later): you could show a picture at a certain place in a track. Then you divide the finishing line into (say) three sections (left, middle, right), and you add one word on top of each of the section. Then you have to drive through the right section of the finishing line. This might achieve more or less what you want, but would be more programming effort.

To add a word on top of item boxes, look at irrlicht's billboard scene node (e.g. I moved support for this to kart.cpp in r11284).
