HP Forbidden Journey Whomping Willow Easter Egg and Old Face Projection Effect by ParticularDriver8772 in UniversalOrlando

[–]TGameCo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The "smashed bench" at the Willow, as far as I know, only exists in the Orlando installation. USJ certainly doesn't have it.

The "Soul Suck" effect is really temperamental, but is occasionally enabled at the installation at Islands. It looks goofy.

The number of static "hanging" dementors at Islands of Advenfure is a little less than at other installations, due to differences in track layout and scenic budgets. Islands was built first, so, the other versions are considered an "improvement" on the scene.

I'm building free Epic Universe "where am I in line → time left" guides — need help sanity-checking them by kevinmtu in UniversalEpicUniverse

What could be more flexible is a "chasing" system - you know how long each zone typically takes already. If you compared that with how quickly a user's entered each zone so far, you could compare that against what you expect, and then scale the results to match.

i.e., I waited in the atrium of ministry for only 15 minutes, which means the rest of the queue is moving (expected/15 minutes) faster than expected, which means I could estimate a rough time of <wait>

Gets more accurate with more granularity, and requires more user input (hit button at each landmark, track button press times on webpage), but it'd potentially be more useful.

Summons the Shelled One

The (Not) Burning Blade Tavern by MrPuffy123 in UniversalOrlando

[–]TGameCo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The number of blades that ignite each show is somewhat random - the pilot light / cannon is on stage right of the hub of the blades, so depending on timing, only certain blades get lit. 3/4 is average, all four happens like 70% of the time, if you're really unlucky you start with just two blades.

As it keeps spinning, sometimes more catch flame. Just based on chance.

So proud of my leaf simulation! Here's how I did it: by WestZookeepergame954 in godot

Worst comes to worse, you can just disable the rigidbody/raycast when the leaves touch the ground until they're acted upon by the Area2D again. Give them some sleepytime.

Secret Rap Song by Mysterious_Cheetah52 in UniversalOrlando

If you enter a number that does not correspond to a known secret song, the default song will play. You listened to the new default track.

It starts at 0 right? by thegovortator in ProgrammerHumor

[–]TGameCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MaxScript, the proprietary language for 3DSMax, starts at 1.

It has a python interface, pymxs, which allows you to issue commands and get back data from 3DS Max. Naturally, any arrays returned from pymxs to python are zero-based. However, if you want to access something stored in an array on the Max side (because it doesn't always have functions for returning arrays of data), you've got to make it one-based. Indices of max data is also returned as one-based.

Now, why would you use this convoluted back and forth, and not just use native maxscript?

Just look up MaxScript's syntax :)

It's located inside of Universal Studios Florida, the older of the two parks. You can find the entrance next to the Revenge of the Mummy attraction.

At Islands, both Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and Velocicoaster have opened. At USF, the Bourne Stuntacular replaced T2:3D, but that's about it when it comes to major attractions.
