backpain script question.

Thread '[SCRIPT] Backpain'

Apr 24, 2013

Here the code to implement the backpains:

-takedamagescript event-
call this script funcs with: takedamagescript data/scripts/ontakedamage.c

ontakedamage.c:

void main() {
  	void self = getlocalvar("self");
  	void attacker = getlocalvar("attacker");

	setoppx_ondmg(self,attacker); // backpains
}

int setoppx_ondmg(void player, void attacker) {
    setentityvar(player, 6, getentityproperty(attacker, "x") );
}

Support Functions (in script event):
Add these funcs in main script of your chara:
call these funcs with: script data/scripts/backpain.c

backpain.c

void main() {

Here's what's in the link.
I'm trying to apply the backpain script to my game, but when I try to learn how to do it and apply it, I get this error message.


Script error: data/scripts/backpain.c, line 24: Unknown error '.' (in production 'log_and_expr')

if ( anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_DIE") || .. ... .. ) {
^


I wonder if I applied it wrong, and I want to fix the error.

Well, you can't type .... in a script. Try removing it like this:

if(anim_id == openborconstant("ANI_DIE")) {

I deleted "... ..." from the script and got the following problem:

Command 'backpain' not understood in file 'data/chars/kula/kula.txt'!

Script compile error in 'updateentityscript': self line 2, column 19

********** An Error Occurred **********

There must be a script in Kula's update script which is missing self.

 

[DD Tokki]

There must be a script in Kula's update script which is missing self.

I tested this script file with Beats of Rage.

Beats of Rage didn't have any script folders or files, so I tested the backpain script here.

Can you tell me which scripts are needed or missing?

 

[DD Tokki]

There must be a script in Kula's update script which is missing self.

The backpain I wanted to complete with a script seems to be "backpain 1" applied to the header, which is what I wanted.

When I tested it on Beats of Rage, "backpain 1" gave me the result I wanted.

However, in King of Rage, there is a bug or setting that moves in the opposite direction, so the progress may be delayed for a while until it is fixed.

I found out the cause.
All of the character's attacks had "forcedirection -1" set, so when I set backpain, I would fall in the opposite direction.

void slamGrab()
{ // Slam Starter for nongrab slams
// Use finish or throw after using this
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   void target = getlocalvar("Target" + self);


   if(target==NULL())
   {
     target = getentityproperty(self, "opponent");
     setlocalvar("Target" + self, target);
   }
   if(target!=NULL())
   {
     damageentity(target, self, 0, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL102")); // Slam Starter
   }
}

The problem with enemies or player characters attacking from behind has been resolved.

The problem is that, as shown in the video, enemies use slam script to grab attacks, but grabbing forward is normal, and grabbing backward is the player's random movement.

I want to change this so that even if you attack from behind, you grab forward.

 

[DD Tokki]

I'm asking for a solution to a game issue and it's taking too long for an answer to come.
I was originally going to wait while I worked on other parts, but I'm waiting because I'll reflect the fix when it's resolved anyway.

 

[danno]

Can you post your enemies grab attack? I'm having a difficult time understanding how you are animating the player while being grabbed and attacked.

This is Vanessa's grab in this video. When she grabs forward, it's normal, but when she grabs backward, the player's movements become strange.

At a guess I would say your @position CMD is not correct when facing,

You'll have to make sure the script always forces the target to face the same way as the entity,

Maybe for these particular throws you should write a second @cmd position script to always make sure they face eachother and is only activated when the player is facing his back to the enemy entity.

This grab properly grabs the character from behind when it's not "backpain 1".

However, when it's "backpain 1", the fall motion appears as if the motion of grabbing the character from behind is missing.

So I want an effect where the opponent is grabbed from behind or another method.

Among the things you mentioned, I think it's a good idea to force the character's direction to face.
