What does the button activate?
Please discribe your problem with the button more accurate.

Describing with more detail:
It is supposed that a simple cube of ivys will fall over the button and then the button will liberate goo balls of fire that will secretly detonate a chain of bombs that will explode under the ground. the point here is how to make the button work to make it stay there no moving until the heavy ivy structure fall and activate the burning system!

So your mechanics of the burning system is already done?
You could use levers and counter weight. Or, probably the easier solution, a force field tagged geomonly=true, pushing the button up. But don't make the froce to strong in order that the heavy Ivys could push it down.

Any idea of how to make my own particle effect?
Also detonator take a twist:now you will need to transport a basket with a match to a button

Edit the fx.xml file.

What do you want the particle to be like? Ambient or pointsource? I have a lot of experience with particles.

Like the risiongblackballs effect only changing it to a fire particle, like when something is getting burned it libertes orange and yellow particles

Okay. Decrypt the fx.xml.bin file, and open it. If you're using your GooTool copy of World of Goo, it will be a huge unreadable mess. Use a different copy for your own mods. Wink

Find this part:

<particleeffect name="signpostAlertMom" maxparticles="4" rate="0.05">
    <particle image="IMAGE_FX_SNOWFLAKE_BLACK"
              rotspeed="0"
              rotation="-20,20"
              directed="false"
              scale="0.5, 0.8"
              finalscale="1.0"
              fade="true"
              additive="false"
              lifespan="0.6"
              speed="1,3"
              movedir="90"
              movedirvar="45"
              acceleration="0,0.01">
      <axialsinoffset amp="5,10" freq="5,8" phaseshift="0.2,0.4" axis="x"/>
    </particle>
  </particleeffect>

This is the effect used by MOM's signposts in Ode to the Bridge Builder and Water Lock. Copy it, and paste the copy at the bottom of the file. Change a little bit of the copy so it looks like this:

<particleeffect name="fireEmbers" maxparticles="4" rate="0.05">
    <particle image="IMAGE_FX_EMBER"
              rotspeed="0"
              rotation="-20,20"
              directed="false"
              scale="0.5, 0.8"
              finalscale="1.0"
              fade="true"
              additive="false"
              lifespan="0.6"
              speed="1,3"
              movedir="90"
              movedirvar="45"
              acceleration="0,0.01">
      <axialsinoffset amp="5,10" freq="5,8" phaseshift="0.2,0.4" axis="x"/>
    </particle>
  </particleeffect>

Now go into the resources file, and add a new tag in the "fx images" section:

	<Image id="IMAGE_FX_EMBER" path="res/images/fx/ember"/>

You're getting close to done, now.

Go into res/images/fx and copy the file "fx_snowflake_black.png". Rename the copy to "ember.png". Open it in an image editing program and change the color of the black dot to orange, but keep it the same size.

Encrypt the fx and resources files. You now have a particle effect!

In your custom Goo Ball, add a particle tag, change the state to "onfire" and the effect to "fireEmbers".

Now when the Goo Ball burns, it releases the little sparks instead of the standard fire effect.

Hopefully this tutorial made sense to you, it is a little bit complex. Smile

Ooh, yeah, I forgot that WooGLE automagically makes the xsl for you. Sweet.
Does it do that for new materials, too? I forget.

Joined: 08/06/2010

Yas, and new resources, and pretty much everything else. It's great, because I'm really bad with XSL. Wink

Tongue I had just finished learning how to do XSLs when Daft made that feature available! Darn my timing, but if I do say so myself, he has made it extremely easy to submit a mod.

Ok No Chapter 8, but still I have good ideas.

I dunno.

Joined: 12/23/2010

@Red & AP: Can't you just use davidc's differentiation tool? I use it whenever I need to make an XSL and WooGLE can't help me (e.g. making a custom island).

Joined: 07/08/2011

@puggsoy: I've used it, but it's not that hard to just write it yourself. (and as we have stated, Daft made it easier)

Any entry in entirely 2 days, rare no??
ok here are the news:
I was lazy so the idea doesn´t float.
And now i have a better idea
i will change the detonator fuse system to make a giant basket
that you will have the opportunity to guide it to the big button
also in the basket wil be someone who travel around the world...
but only moving its body...iNTRODUCING:The traveler in a basket floating with ballons!!
let´s see what happen with this guy!
And that´s all...In the next days i will be configurating the computer and making some changes to give me the best experience
Also i´m planning next level:"Inferno"

How I will distribute chapter 7???
Only using chapter 7 or included tha chapter 6??
Also...How we will make it a goomod or maybe we would make it like the last time with chapter 6 and only distribute a PC version??

Well, I dunno how you made Chapter 6, but as long as all that you're doing is replacing, compiling or merging stuff, .goomod is the way to go. It's easier for everyone, and is multi-platform.

But if you're doing something like making your own .exe, or indeed a whole new WoG folder, then you should just make an installer.

Also, if you choose to do it with a .goomod, I'd suggest including Chapter 6. Otherwise just do it by itself.

Ah, who am I fooling? Tongue I'm so bored I'm a processed tree.

Seriously though, people are just getting bored of these topics, perhaps? It's a nice community, but World of Goo is getting boring for some folk maybe?
