The Puzzle Cube - A portal inspired puzzle game

It's been I while since I released a new mod and, since this is likely going to be my last mod for 2016 and it's Christmas, I though I would do something rather challenging and different...

I was wondering why puzzles hadn't really been incorporated into BeamNG and so I decided to give it a go. 50 hours later I realized why people hadn't given it a go but after many, many coding tweaks here it is; The Puzzle Cube!

The concept behind this is similar to portal in that they are puzzles to...

Will there be stuff like pushing cubes on top of each other to make a bridge to the other side?

There will be more mechanics as I create more but stacking cubes and making them fall over would not work very well, as the cubes are rather bouncy!

For some reason I can't get it to work; I tried to put it in the mods folder and in the levels folder. But it doesn't show up in the level selector. can someone help me please?

Quick thing: "level selector" - are you referring to the scenario selector or the actual level selector? These are only scenarios so only appear in the scenario selector (and campaign)

First, have you tried it without any mods other than this one? I have only a few mods installed at the moment and it works for me.

Second, how did you put the box in the deposit area exactly? One common thing that may happen is you put the box in the area, then activate jupiter gravity which won't work, due to the box no longer moving so not triggering anymore.

Third, to check the above, do you get a message saying: "this box does not have enough mass...." or something like that? If you do, then that will be the problem, as you cannot then activate jupiter gravity for it to work.

I can't for the life of me, figure out #4. Is the small cube supposed to trigger something? The safe assumption seems to be to push it into the box right in front of the cube, but nothing happens. HEEELLPPP! lol

EDIT!!! --- The level played out exactly like I thought. I had to restart the game, because for some reason the cube wouldn't trigger the pipe.

oh, I didn't know there were only scenario's. I thought there was a map in the level selector too. sorry for bothering you!

Darthbob555 updated The Puzzle Cube with a new update entry:

Code tweaks

(Edit: Forget to remove debug code )

Mainly just making the code more efficient with some tweaks:

Cube 2 - made Boolean variables into a table

Cube 3 - fixed the last door presenting the message twice; also made the triggering of boxes a separate function

Cube 6 - made Boolean variables into a table; also fixed box 3 not being correctly teleported

Cube 7 - removed unnecessary variables and replaced most Boolean variables with a table

Cube 8 - made the triggering of...

I know there is an issue with the campaign and there is an issue with the triggers - I have pushed an update so it will be out soon.
Also, I have created a group for this mod so that I can fully test this mod as it is very complicated and other people's input would be extremely appreciated

Thank you

Darthbob555 updated The Puzzle Cube with a new update entry:

Final fixes - hopefully

Hopefully fixed the triggering issues - cubes can now be put into the designated areas and then gravity activated

Also changed the portal sounds to be less obnoxious

Also fixed the campaign as the names changed

I am very sorry to those who got frustrated by this - DO LET ME KNOW IF IT STILL DOES NOT WORK! Thanks

There is now a group which will give you access to early content, bug submission and allows you to contribute to the scenario pack:...

Reset fix for all cubes

Force the cubes to reload multiple times to fix any reloading issues you may have been experiencing.

Once again, let me know if you are still experiencing issues. You can either do this in the discussion tab or the new group for this mod, linked at the main page of this mod.

Darthbob555 updated The Puzzle Cube with a new update entry:

Mirror mirror...

Added 3 more scenarios at a different testing facility.

New mechanic where the reflected cube reveals invisible paths in the reality cube.

Consider this part 1 of the new testing facility (9 scenarios planned in total), hence the reason why the campaign is not yet included

Hope it keeps you occupied while I implement the next 6 or so

I have done a fair bit of testing but I have probably missed something, so if you find a bug, don't hesitate to report it. Thanks for...

I noticed this during testing but then it started working again. I have done some testing and changed some directories around which hopefully fixes this issue. I'll push it as soon as possible, thanks for reporting
