[MOD] (Alpha 9) OmniCorp - Area effect vanilla style shields-plus armour shield

[daveboy2000]

Updated OmniShield to have a spinning top piece that spins with the shield. Instead of a static graphic.

Quick modding question: How'd you achieve that?

[skullywag]

It uses the turret class which contains a draw turret method but the code to handle the spinning is simple enough, i ended up actually making it match the personal shield way of spinning simple for ease (the vanilla bubble "spins")

private static readonly Material ShieldRotator = MaterialPool.MatFrom("Things/Building/Security/OmniShield_top", ShaderDatabase.Transparent);
public void DrawTurret()
        {
            if (this.powerComp.PowerOn)
            {;
                float angle = (float)Rand.Range(0, 360);
                Vector3 s = new Vector3(1f, 1f, 1f);
                s.y = Altitudes.AltitudeFor(AltitudeLayer.VisEffects);
                Matrix4x4 matrix = default(Matrix4x4);
                matrix.SetTRS(this.DrawPos + Altitudes.AltIncVect, Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.up), s);
                Graphics.DrawMesh(MeshPool.plane10, matrix, Building_OmniShield.ShieldRotator, 0);
            }
            else
            {
                Matrix4x4 matrix = default(Matrix4x4);
                Vector3 s = new Vector3(1f, 1f, 1f);
                s.y = Altitudes.AltitudeFor(AltitudeLayer.MoteLow);
                matrix.SetTRS(this.DrawPos + Altitudes.AltIncVect + Altitudes.AltIncVect, Rotation.AsQuat, Vector3.one);
                Graphics.DrawMesh(MeshPool.plane10, matrix, Building_OmniShield.ShieldRotator, 0);
            }
        }

Thanks for sharing!

Just so you know all my source is added with my mods, you just need visual studio to see it all.

Yeah my visual studio trail ran out, so I'll need to see if I can find an open-source .dll reader

visual studio is free, you just have to register.
