Reading Order
1. Check initialization
OnGameModeStarted initializes the effect of VL7Cloud and sets the color and wording of WorldIcon.
When using a toggle type device, it is important to first be able to see whether it is currently ON or OFF.
2. Check InteractPoint branches
In OnPlayerInteract, the target to be switched is changed depending on the ObjId of the pressed InteractPoint.
The flow to watch is mod.GetObjId(interactPoint) → target flag inversion → WorldIcon update → effect update.
3. Check enter/exit events
OnPlayerEnterVL7Cloud and OnPlayerExitVL7Cloud are called when the player enters or exits VL7Cloud.
This sample only outputs logs, but in actual mode you can add damage, score, warning display, etc.
Small Tips
The WorldIcon color to indicate ON/OFF can be used for debugging and player guidance.
However, some players will miss out if they rely solely on color. For public use, it is safe to include a short text.
Conclusion
VL7Example is a sample to learn area effects and player individual effects.
This is a good sample to read first when you want to create a place where something happens when players enter, such as gas, poison, radiation, or special areas.
