Cant spawn same enemy from himself

dantedevil · Nov 8, 2016

I'm working in the animation of a new fatality.
In this death animation, the enemy (BD2) is cut in 2 parts in half.
So the torso fly in one direction and the legs remain in the same place nailed to the floor.
To make this create the death animation with the legs frames in the end.
From the torso have the anim follow 40.
Then before the first frames of the legs alone, here spwan the same enemy with te animation foolow40 (torso).
Here the animation:

Code:

anim death74
#KITANA
	loop	0
   @script
   void vSelf = getlocalvar("self");                 //Caller.
   void vEntity;                                     //Target entity placeholder.    
   int  iEntity;                                     //Entity enumeration holder.    
   int  iType;                                       //Entity type.    
   int  iMax      = openborvariant("ent_max");       //Entity count.    
   if(frame==1){                                     //Enumerate and loop through entity collection.      
   for(iEntity=0; iEntity<iMax; iEntity++){            
       vEntity = getentity(iEntity);                     //Get target entity from current loop. 
      
       iType   = getentityproperty(vEntity,    "type"); //Get target type.        
                                                        //Enemy type?    
       if (vEntity != vSelf)                                               //Not Self? 
    
       if (iType == openborconstant("TYPE_ENEMY")){          
   void iTime = openborvariant("elapsed_time") + getentityproperty(vEntity, "freezetime");          
   changeentityproperty(vEntity, "frozen", 1);          
   changeentityproperty(vEntity, "freezetime", iTime + 5.7*200);
         }      }    }

After a few test not work.
So try to spawn another enemy from bd2 and change the bd2 to bd3 and work ok.
Seems the problem comes when try to spawn the same character from himself.
I want use this method to avoid crate a new entity for every enemy.
It's any way to do this?
And is possibble spawn with the same palette of the spawner?

dantedevil · Nov 9, 2016

For now use a new entity to create this new fatality.
For this I need add to this script, the function to take the same palette from the spawner:

Code:

void spawnAni(void vName, float fX, float fY, float fZ, void Ani, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz, int Flag)
{
	//spawnB (Generic spawner) + Specific animation + velocities
	//Damon Vaughn Caskey + Douglas Baldan/O Ilusionista
	//07/06/2007 - 30/05/2013
	//
	//Spawns entity next to caller.
	//
	//vName: Model name of entity to be spawned in.
	//fX: X location adjustment.
	//fZ: Y location adjustment.
      //fY: Z location adjustment.

	void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
	void vSpawn; //Spawn object.
	int  iDirection = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
        int map = getentityproperty(self,"map");

	clearspawnentry(); //Clear current spawn entry.
      setspawnentry("name", vName); //Acquire spawn entity by name.

	if (iDirection == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
          fX = -fX; //Reverse X direction to match facing.
	}

      fX = fX + getentityproperty(self, "x"); //Get X location and add adjustment.
      fY = fY + getentityproperty(self, "a"); //Get Y location and add adjustment.
      fZ = fZ + getentityproperty(self, "z"); //Get Z location and add adjustment.
	
	vSpawn = spawn(); //Spawn in entity.

	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "position", fX, fZ, fY); //Set spawn location.
	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "direction", iDirection); //Set direction.
    	performattack(vSpawn, openborconstant(Ani)); 
	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "velocity", Vx, Vy, Vz);

	return vSpawn; //Return spawn.
}

So I try to take the function from this script:

Code:

void tossEnemy(void Name, float dx, float dy, float dz, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz, int Damage, int Flag)
{ // Tossing fallen enemy
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int iDirection = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
    int map = getentityproperty(self,"map");
    void vSpawn;

    vSpawn = spawn01(Name, dx, dy, dz);

    damageentity(vSpawn, self, Damage, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL"));

    if(iDirection == 1){
      tossentity(vSpawn, Vy, Vx, Vz);
    } else {
      tossentity(vSpawn, Vy, -Vx, Vz);
    }
    if(Flag == 1){
      changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "map", map);
    }
}

Here my result but not work.
Something is wrong.

Code:

void spawnAniM(void vName, float fX, float fY, float fZ, void Ani, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz, int Flag)
{
	//spawnB (Generic spawner) + Specific animation + velocities
	//Damon Vaughn Caskey + Douglas Baldan/O Ilusionista
	//07/06/2007 - 30/05/2013
	//
	//Spawns entity next to caller.
	//
	//vName: Model name of entity to be spawned in.
	//fX: X location adjustment.
	//fZ: Y location adjustment.
      //fY: Z location adjustment.

	void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
	void vSpawn; //Spawn object.
	int  iDirection = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
        int map = getentityproperty(self,"map");

	clearspawnentry(); //Clear current spawn entry.
      setspawnentry("name", vName); //Acquire spawn entity by name.

	if (iDirection == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
          fX = -fX; //Reverse X direction to match facing.
	}

      fX = fX + getentityproperty(self, "x"); //Get X location and add adjustment.
      fY = fY + getentityproperty(self, "a"); //Get Y location and add adjustment.
      fZ = fZ + getentityproperty(self, "z"); //Get Z location and add adjustment.
	
	vSpawn = spawn(); //Spawn in entity.

	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "position", fX, fZ, fY); //Set spawn location.
	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "direction", iDirection); //Set direction.
    	performattack(vSpawn, openborconstant(Ani)); 
	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "velocity", Vx, Vy, Vz);

	return vSpawn; //Return spawn.
    }
    if(Flag == 1){
      changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "map", map);
    }
}

O Ilusionista · Nov 9, 2016

I run into the same issue other day: you cant spawn the same entity from an entity and make it change the animation. Because OpenBor doesn't knows which entity should he make to change the animation.

dantedevil · Nov 9, 2016

Thanks for the info my friend.
Now I know my next step to continue with the next fatalities.

Thanks again!

DCurrent · Nov 9, 2016

O Ilusionista said:

That's not possible at all. The engine uses memory pointers to identify entities, not names or numbers. Every entity is always uniquely known (otherwise nothing at all would work). There's another issue going on here.

Yes this is a problem I encountered a long time ago to create multiple parts special effects with a single entity model. Tried lots of tricks, never figured what was the issue. I recall I even looked into the engine code to see if there was some kind of legacy check that blocked "recursive" spawning, without any luck.

dantedevil · Nov 10, 2016

I foun a way to spawn multiple parts of the same entity.

Here an example:

Code:

anim death24

   @script
   void vSelf = getlocalvar("self");                 //Caller.
   void vEntity;                                     //Target entity placeholder.    
   int  iEntity;                                     //Entity enumeration holder.    
   int  iType;                                       //Entity type.    
   int  iMax      = openborvariant("ent_max");       //Entity count.    
   if(frame==1){                                     //Enumerate and loop through entity collection.      
   for(iEntity=0; iEntity<iMax; iEntity++){            
       vEntity = getentity(iEntity);                     //Get target entity from current loop. 
      
       iType   = getentityproperty(vEntity,    "type"); //Get target type.        
                                                        //Enemy type?    
       if (vEntity != vSelf)                                               //Not Self? 
    
       if (iType == openborconstant("TYPE_ENEMY")){          
   void iTime = openborvariant("elapsed_time") + getentityproperty(vEntity, "freezetime");          
   changeentityproperty(vEntity, "frozen", 1);          
   changeentityproperty(vEntity, "freezetime", iTime + 5.7*200);

O Ilusionista · Nov 10, 2016

Oh, that is nice. I will make some tests, thanks.

O Ilusionista · Nov 26, 2016

I tried by it doesn't works for me:

@script
if(frame == 0){
void ent = spawn01("riot", 0, 0, 1);
performattack(ent, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW11"), 1);
}
if(frame == 1){
void ent = spawn01("riot", 0, 0, 20);
performattack(ent, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW11"), 1);
}
if(frame == 2){
void ent = spawn01("riot", 0, 0, 40);
performattack(ent, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW11"), 1);
}
if(frame == 3){
void ent = spawn01("riot", 0, 0, 60);
performattack(ent, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW11"), 1);
}
@end_script

I am using this code on an entity called "riot" and I want it to spawn clones of him. but the spawn doesn't happen.

dantedevil · Nov 28, 2016

Seems all is ok.
You have a message error in the log?

O Ilusionista · Nov 28, 2016

No log, the engine really starts to get crazy - wrong spawns, wrong positions, wrong everything...

But I think I know why this happens: I was using a spawnscript to force the enemy to spawn into a custom animation.
I will make some tests later, thanks.

dantedevil · Nov 28, 2016

Thats very rare my friend.

Other solution is use this scripts yours.
Works ok for me too.

Code:

void spawnAni(void vName, float fX, float fY, float fZ, void Ani, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz)
{
	//spawnB (Generic spawner) + Specific animation + velocities
	//Damon Vaughn Caskey + Douglas Baldan/O Ilusionista
	//07/06/2007 - 30/05/2013
	//
	//Spawns entity next to caller.
	//
	//vName: Model name of entity to be spawned in.
	//fX: X location adjustment.
	//fZ: Y location adjustment.
      //fY: Z location adjustment.

	void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
	void vSpawn; //Spawn object.
	int  iDirection = getentityproperty(self, "direction");

	clearspawnentry(); //Clear current spawn entry.
      setspawnentry("name", vName); //Acquire spawn entity by name.

	if (iDirection == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
          fX = -fX; //Reverse X direction to match facing.
	}

      fX = fX + getentityproperty(self, "x"); //Get X location and add adjustment.
      fY = fY + getentityproperty(self, "a"); //Get Y location and add adjustment.
      fZ = fZ + getentityproperty(self, "z"); //Get Z location and add adjustment.
	
	vSpawn = spawn(); //Spawn in entity.

	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "position", fX, fZ, fY); //Set spawn location.
	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "direction", iDirection); //Set direction.
    	performattack(vSpawn, openborconstant(Ani)); 
	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "velocity", Vx, Vy, Vz);

	return vSpawn; //Return spawn.
}

Cant spawn same enemy from himself
