There are other random ones that seem to work.

The <ruleset> tag has to specifically list the ruleset name that is being used - not what it may be layered on top of.

If there is no <ruleset> tag in extension.xml then any ruleset can see the extensions.

Hrm.. getting the same thing Shotgun was showing below.. end points without lines.

OK, so what I'm hearing is that the Toolkit Doco/Tute needs some work - I'll add it to the list of things I need to do. After all, if people can't understand it then what use is it :)

Cheers

Try it in a base CoreRPG campaign and see if it works there.

Ahh.. I figured out my issue. It's bumping into that VertexSnap Extension you helped me with a while back Trenloe. Gonna need to combine the two in order for this to work right... looks like I actually need 60 degree cones and not 30 as well. .. A few steps closer here though.. thanks guys.

I included all of dulux_oz's specifications, which includes 60ConePointer - change the <custom name="30ConePointer"> tag in the extension.xml file to <custom name="60ConePointer">

I had just noticed that.. and it worked!

Nice! :)

I have been, err celebrating most of the night and I just got back and I saw this.. I figured out right away I had the change the name of the extension to match what I need it. But I still got the same problem. That being said, I see there could be a issue with conflicting extensions based on what I just read.. I will play around a bit when I wake up.


I REALLY do appreciate everyone's help so far.. Thanks.. I hope to have this solved in the next few days! You guys are great!

Not meaning to hijack the thread ... but .. How crazy would it be to do a 'Hex Shaped' pointer? Or a 'Triangle' instead of a fanned cone?

OK.. so the radius at the center of the equilateral triangle (b) would be = the squareroot of ((c*c)-((c/2)*(c/2))) where (c) is the length of a side.. (a) is half a side.. and (b) is the line that bisects the triangle.

This is also true for the hex.. the radius of the hex is the same..
