Reality Factory

So, wouldn't a teapot, and cup be able to be picked up, and added to inventory? If so, they could be moved. And can't they hold variables, like Full: true or false? And another for Hot, True or False, and Water, True or false. Say, have a logic gate and counter change the state of the pot from hot ...

Well, I was thinking the player would be making the tea. Any difference?

I want to learn scripting and get a grip on how to create, increase and decrease attributes, and attach them to actors. I did the basic Health box attribute, and now I want to have a character go through a set of steps to make a cup of tea.
1) get pot, fill with water.
2) start fire
3) place pot and ...

Can Reality Factory 'read' a color at a pixel coordinate at runtme? Like, a specific pixel, and its rgb 255 colors, in a 100X100 pixel bitmap? Can it read that data from a file, and ...

Well, I have some tricks in mind, and they are way off. But thinking outside the box, I needed a 'path' or highway above a cyberpunk city, where the player could stay on the flightpath, soaring above the city, and through a hud set of targets, (autopilot), or veer off a bit, not true flight ,but ...

Can Reality Factory 'read' a color at a pixel coordinate at runtme? Like, a specific pixel, and its rgb 255 colors, in a 100X100 pixel bitmap? Can it read that data from a file, and return that result to a script as a variable?

Bummer. It would solve many of the outdoor and flight problems, but allowing for a cockpit set and a mini city set... or say, a walking locale set at high res, and a smaller LOD miniature for a panaroma projection. Oh well.

Is it possible to output the 'view' of one camera to the texture of a surface/actor/mesh? Like a stationary camera working as a security camera that is linked to a video monitor in a security booth. I think DirectX 7 could do that sort of thing, but I don't know how hard it would be for Genesis 3d ...
