Lighthouse Friesland's Skyscrapersim Building Creator

This article is legitimate. It contains good-faith information, such as an existing building or content.

Lighthouse Friesland's Skyscrapersim Building Creator (or simply LF Building Creator, abbreviation is LFBC) is another online building creator for Skyscrapersim found and written on Scratch. It was created by user Lighthouse Friesland, but it has more features than Skyscrapersim Building Creator Reloaded. The elevator size feature is discontinued due to too much time consumption.

• It allows you to create some features which are not included in Skyscrapersim Building Creator Reloaded. (such as doors, etc.)
• NOTE: You need to download EG881 Integration Project first if you want to make a building with this creator, because it contains ObjectPlus scripts.
• This building creator is the spiritual successor of Skyscrapersim Building Creator Reloaded as the development of the building creator has been discontinued.

Tools

• Action buttons
  • A feet ruler where positions will be easily found is needed (until 3.0.2).
  • [-] and [+] buttons: used for changing floors
  • Finish button: This will take you to the screen to set your spawn point and then show the building code.
  • Clear button: used for clearing the entire building so it is blank
• Building set:
  • Draw Rooms: used to draw rooms
  • Draw Walls: used to draw walls
  • Cut Walls: typically used so rooms cain join together

Text Tutorial

1. Click "Create a new building" (not working temporarily). Instead, click "Create a new building using a template", then choose "Simple building"

2. To draw a blueprint, click "Draw Rooms". You will be asked to choose the coordinates, which takes a bit time (in 3.1, you will drag your mouse from one point in the grid to another to draw a room - this will save you time). You can also draw walls by clicking "Draw Walls", but you will be asked again to choose the coordinates (in 3.1, you will also drag your mouse from one point in the grid to another to draw a wall)

3. To change floors, press the - and + buttons next to the floor counter

• The range is currently from 0 to 200 (in 3.1, the range will be from -20 to 200)

4. Click "Create elevators" to add in elevators/lifts so other floors can be accessed easily. Also, you will be asked to type the coordinates, the floor range (e.g. from 0 to 3), the size, the count of elevators in a shaft, the name of the elevator, the type of the lift, the speed, the pre-doors value, the (shaft) doors position, etc. (in 3.1, this feature will have it's own UI, less of questions to save time)

5. Click "Create stairwells" to add in stairwells so that in case of fire, people can get out safely.

6. Click "Finish building" to finish your building, but before, you will be asked to choose the starting point coordinates (in 3.1, you will drag your mouse to a point instead of two questions)

7. Right click on the building list and click "Export". Because this is Scratch 3.0, you will not be able to save as a certain file and will automatically download as "Building Script.txt". Rename the file to e.g. Tower.bld and copy and paste it into the buildings folder of Skyscrapersim.

8. Run Skyscrapersim and load your building!
