Solved A parrow question.

kdo · Feb 14, 2025

Hi guys, is there any way to force the player's parrow to always appear constantly?

Its always appears on respawn, but i need this all the time in the game.

O Ilusionista · Feb 14, 2025

you can remove the parrow and spawn an entity using spawnbind() function.

kdo · Feb 14, 2025

The spawnbind function can detects if the player is 1,2,3, or 4? The parrow I need to use is precisely to say who each player is like in Smash Bros.

Bloodbane · Feb 15, 2025

spawnbind function couldn't detect whom the entity to bind to is, however you could code another function which detects who that entity is. This function will decide which parrow to bind to the player.

kdo · Feb 15, 2025

Can you help me with this code @Bloodbane? I have no idea how to do it since codes are my weakness

Bloodbane · Feb 16, 2025

You could use this function:

C:

void spawnBindPlayer(void Ent, float dx, float dy, float dz, int Dir, int Flag)
{// Spawnbinds an entity then apply aggression based on player index
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Index = getentityproperty(self,"playerindex") + 1; //Get player index + 1
    void Spawn = spawn01(Ent, dx, dy, dz);

    changeentityproperty(Spawn, "aggression", Index);
    bindentity(Spawn, self, dx, dz, dy, Dir, Flag);
}

Declare it like this:

Code:

anim    spawn
    delay    2
    offset    30 60
    frame    data/chars/hero/idle1.png
    @cmd    spawnBindPlayer "PArrow" 0 60 0 2 0
    frame    data/chars/hero/idle1.png

PArrow holds all Parrow for 4 players. Its aggression (set by the above function) defines which player it is for.

Code:

name        Parrow
type        none
alpha        6
aggression    1
setlayer    200
subject_to_wall 0
subject_to_gravity 0
subject_to_obstacle 0
palette        none


anim    follow1
    loop    1
    delay    5
    offset    15 26
    frame    data/chars/effects/par1.png
    frame    data/chars/effects/par1.png
    frame    data/chars/effects/par1.png

anim    follow2
    loop    1
    delay    5
    offset    15 26
    frame    data/chars/effects/par2.png
    frame    data/chars/effects/par2.png
    frame    data/chars/effects/par2.png

    frame    data/chars/effects/par3.png
    frame    data/chars/effects/par3.png

anim    follow4
    loop    1
    delay    5
    offset    15 26
    frame    data/chars/effects/par4.png
    frame    data/chars/effects/par4.png
    frame    data/chars/effects/par4.png

anim    idle
@script
  if(frame == 2){
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Aggro = getentityproperty(self,"aggression");
    int CodAt;

    if(Aggro == 4){
      CodAt = openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW4");
    } else if(Aggro == 3){
      CodAt = openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3");
    } else if(Aggro == 2){
      CodAt = openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2");
    } else {
      CodAt = openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1");
    }

    performattack(self, CodAt);
  }
@end_script
    delay    5

Thank you very much for your help! It worked perfectly, it's exactly what I need

. But I noticed something strange, my stage has holes, each player has 3 lives, each time the player dies falling into the hole the parrow stays in the place as if indicating the place where the player died. If the player dies 3 times and in different positions in the level, in each of them there is a Parrow of the player. Other than that it worked perfectly.
Can you fix this bug? Thank youuuuuuu!!!!

kdo · Feb 17, 2025

I tried to kill the Parrow entity with @cmd killentity getlocalvar("Parrow") in player death animation but it didn't work.

getlocalvar("Parrow")

Umm... since you're using inline script/code, there's no way you can use variables in single inline scripts. Just use getlocalvar("self") to kill itself.

Why not this one for your parrow entity like this one for killing itself?

Code:

anim idle
offset ..
delay ..
frame ..
frame ..
@cmd killentity getlocalvar("self")
frame ..

Or you can use this to kill the spawned entity with the use from a parent entity.

Code:

anim    freespecial16 #Shoryuken HP

    delay    8

I'm working on it. It wasn't as simple as I've thought.
Anyways, this is the updated function:

C:

void spawnBindPlayer(void Ent, float dx, float dy, float dz, int Dir, int Flag, void Store)
{// Spawnbinds an entity then apply aggression based on player index
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Index = getentityproperty(self,"playerindex") + 1; //Get player index + 1
    void Spawn = spawn01(Ent, dx, dy, dz);

    changeentityproperty(Spawn, "aggression", Index);
    bindentity(Spawn, self, dx, dz, dy, Dir, Flag);
    setentityvar(Spawn, Store, self);
}

Declare it like before except with added parameter:

Code:

anim    spawn
    delay    2
    offset    30 60
    frame    data/chars/hero/idle1.png
    @cmd    spawnBindPlayer "PArrow" 0 60 0 2 0 "Par"
    frame    data/chars/hero/idle1.png

This is the updated Parrow:

Code:

name        Parrow
type        none
alpha        6
aggression    1
setlayer    200
subject_to_wall 0

Wow! Thanks again for the help! It worked perfectly, but I noticed a bug.
If the players choose different characters everything works fine, but if they choose the same character the problem persists, every time the character dies the arrow stays in the position where the character died and when he respawns he comes with another arrow like the previous one, this repeats until all lives are gone, so every time the character dies an arrow remains on the screen.

kdo · Feb 20, 2025

I solved it using the nosame 1 command, this way it will work for what I need.
Thank you very much, it helped me a lot!
