Placing Objects Anywhere is now permanently impossible

[winstxnhdw]

Bad news everyone. It seems that placing an object is now validated individually on each client. If you try to build outside of the ship, the client will just bring it back into the ship. This means the following features are now permanently broken:

• Build Anywhere
• Teleport Player to Player
• Void
• Random (partially)

It's a real shame since we had an entire ecosystem of tools and utilities dedicated to building which has now (almost) all gone to waste. I reckon I spent more than 50% of development time on the build features since it was what made this project stand out from others. Here's Zeekers's current implementation to validate on the client.

	public void PlaceShipObject(Vector3 placementPosition, Vector3 placementRotation, PlaceableShipObject placeableObject, bool placementSFX = true)
	{
		Vector3 rotationOffset = placeableObject.parentObject.rotationOffset;
		StartOfRound.Instance.suckingFurnitureOutOfShip = false;
		StartOfRound.Instance.unlockablesList.unlockables[placeableObject.unlockableID].placedPosition = placementPosition;
		StartOfRound.Instance.unlockablesList.unlockables[placeableObject.unlockableID].placedRotation = placementRotation;
		Debug.Log(string.Format("Saving placed position as: {0}", placementPosition));
		StartOfRound.Instance.unlockablesList.unlockables[placeableObject.unlockableID].hasBeenMoved = true;
		if (placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary != null)
		{
			Vector3 vector = placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.position;
			Quaternion rotation = placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.rotation;
			Quaternion lhs = Quaternion.Euler(placementRotation) * Quaternion.Inverse(placeableObject.mainMesh.transform.rotation);
			placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.rotation = lhs * placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.rotation;
			placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.position = placementPosition + (placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.position - placeableObject.mainMesh.transform.position) + (placeableObject.mainMesh.transform.position - placeableObject.placeObjectCollider.transform.position);
			if (!StartOfRound.Instance.shipInnerRoomBounds.bounds.Contains(placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.position))
			{
				placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.position = vector;
				placeableObject.parentObjectSecondary.transform.rotation = rotation;
			}
		}
		else if (placeableObject.parentObject != null)
		{
			Vector3 vector = placeableObject.parentObject.positionOffset;
			Quaternion rotation = placeableObject.parentObject.transform.rotation;
			Quaternion lhs2 = Quaternion.Euler(placementRotation) * Quaternion.Inverse(placeableObject.mainMesh.transform.rotation);
			placeableObject.parentObject.rotationOffset = (lhs2 * placeableObject.parentObject.transform.rotation).eulerAngles;
			placeableObject.parentObject.transform.rotation = lhs2 * placeableObject.parentObject.transform.rotation;
			placeableObject.parentObject.positionOffset = StartOfRound.Instance.elevatorTransform.InverseTransformPoint(placementPosition + (placeableObject.parentObject.transform.position - placeableObject.mainMesh.transform.position) + (placeableObject.mainMesh.transform.position - placeableObject.placeObjectCollider.transform.position));
			if (!StartOfRound.Instance.shipInnerRoomBounds.bounds.Contains(placeableObject.parentObject.transform.position))
			{
				placeableObject.parentObject.positionOffset = vector;
				placeableObject.parentObject.transform.rotation = rotation;
				placeableObject.parentObject.rotationOffset = rotationOffset;
			}
		}
		if (placementSFX)
		{
			placeableObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().PlayOneShot(placeableObject.placeObjectSFX);
		}
	}

I blame the low IQ mods that have the dumbass feature to place the terminal far away, ruining the game permanently just for braindead funnies, which galvanised this change.

I am considering to remove pumpkin as well.

Damn that sucks. Barely got to use these ones properly.

aw rip. i loved trapping people. and i feel bad for you too winston. hard work gone to waste! wondering though what if you could spoof ship location to place an object in a spot. for example, this terminal moves with the ship. so, what if you put the ship at the entrance only on your client and then put the terminal there. would that work?

[winstxnhdw]

You can't because you would have to be able to spoof other people's ship locations as well, which isn't possible. At the very least, it would only appear on client and you could probably use the terminal there, but no one else will be able to see it.

hmm, build anywhere function still works in other cheats, or you just used some special way to do it that got blocked? (still not a programmer)

[Tkachpavl]

huh it NEVER worked for me, i mean i got money only locally and when i written some things to buy i got error on terminal, but after u wrote that it works it started working, are u god or sum

[winstxnhdw]

probably u had some mod that caused problems

[Tkachpavl]

no no, nothing additional, nor mods nor cheats, forget bout that

[joep26020]

how do u get lethal menu
