Enemies get items

betterbold · Aug 14, 2017

Hello.

I want to make enemies get items.
"hostile item" and "aimove chase" but it's not work ... Can't I do something ?

O Ilusionista · Aug 14, 2017

Just give them the get animation.
They won't get anything if they don't have the animation

betterbold · Aug 14, 2017

Thank you for your advice, O Ilusionista.

Sure, they have the get animation but not work ... because I set "nomove 1" to them.
It's "bonus game" stage.

Player and enemy have "nomove 1" then items go through.
Is there another way to stop them ?

MKLIUKANG1 · Aug 15, 2017

Because of the "nomove" command, the enemy can not perform the get animation.

Although I may be wrong.

Here, most likely, you need to look for an alternative move. Without the "nomove"

Bloodbane · Aug 15, 2017

I think this bonus game is simple so there's no need for enemy's get mechanics. You can just make new items entity which gives score if attacked. Yes, in this bonus game, player and enemy are attacking items to get the latter
Player's model should be simple and as for enemy, since it's using nomove 1, you can control his/her AI with his/her IDLE animation

Thanks, Bloodbane and MKLIUKANG.

Should I add script code in IDLE animation, If I use "nomove 1" ?
If possible, please give me a concrete example.

Bloodbane · Aug 16, 2017

Let's start by discussing the mechanics of bonus game first

Correct me if I'm wrong, player and enemy are sitting on a table while foods or items pass through ontop of table. I'm not sure about the winning condition here i.e is it only about getting highest score in limited time OR is it about getting higher score than the enemy?
Then about enemy's AI, is it a smart one which snatches any food passing through in front of him/her OR less smart one which sometimes misses some passing foods?

betterbold · Aug 16, 2017

You're completely right, Bloodbane. ;D

I want to enemy's AI less smart one (sometime misses).
What would be the best thing to do?

Bloodbane · Aug 16, 2017

Hmm... that would require randomized attack or snatch. You could make an ATTACK animation for the enemy with a random script run in its first frame and another animation say FOLLOW animation. Both animations are item/food snatch animation but one has short delay while the other has long delay. The latter is for the misses snatch one

betterbold · Aug 16, 2017

I see .

I use random script in IDLE animation and he sometimes attack but don't get item...

MKLIUKANG1 · Aug 16, 2017

Try to insert this script into the animationscript of the enemy:

Code:

void finisher(void AniE, void Ani , int RxMin, int RxMax, int Rz, int Type, int Flag)
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    float x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
    float z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
    int dir = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
    void vEntity;                                     
    int  iEntity;                                      
    int  iType;                                        
    int  iMax      = openborvariant("ent_max");        

    for(iEntity=0; iEntity<iMax; iEntity++){
      vEntity = getentity(iEntity);                 
      iType   = getentityproperty(vEntity, "type"); 

      if (iType == openborconstant("TYPE_ENEMY")){
        float Tx = getentityproperty(vEntity, "x");
   float Tz = getentityproperty(vEntity, "z");
        int Anti = getentityproperty(vEntity, "antigrab");
        int Edir = getentityproperty(vEntity, "direction");
   void EAnim = getentityproperty(vEntity, "animationID");

        if(EAnim == openborconstant(AniE)){
      float Disx = Tx - x;
      float Disz = Tz - z;

      if(Disz < 0){
        Disz = -Disz;
      }

      if( Disx >= RxMin && Disx <= RxMax && Disz <= Rz && dir == 1 )
      {
        if(Type == 2){
          if(((Flag == 1 && Edir == 0) || Flag == 0) && Anti < 10){
            dasher(0,0,0);
            setlocalvar("Target" + self, vEntity);
            performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani));
          }
        } else {
          if((Flag == 1 && Edir == 0) || Flag == 0){
            if(Type == 1){
              dasher(0,0,0);
              setlocalvar("Target" + self, vEntity);
            }
            performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani));
          }
        }
      } else if( Disx >= -RxMax && Disx <= -RxMin && Disz <= Rz && dir == 0)
      {
        if(Type == 2){
          if(((Flag == 1 && Edir == 1) || Flag == 0) && Anti < 10){
            dasher(0,0,0);
            setlocalvar("Target" + self, vEntity);
            performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani));
          }
        } else {
          if((Flag == 1 && Edir == 1) || Flag == 0){
            if(Type == 1){
              dasher(0,0,0);
              setlocalvar("Target" + self, vEntity);
            }
            performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani));
          }
        }
      }
        }
      }
    }
}

Example:

Anim IDLE
Loop 1
Offset x x
Bbox x x x x
Delay x
@cmd finisher "ani_idle" "ani_attack" -15 15 10 0 0
Frame data/chars/enemy1/xxxxxx.gif
@cmd finisher "ani_idle" "ani_follow1" -40 -20 10 0 0
Frame data/chars/enemy1/xxxxxx.gif

Although I do not know if it will help you

MKLIUKANG1 · Aug 16, 2017

Although I may not be right

(sorry for bad english)

betterbold · Aug 16, 2017

Thanks,MKLIUKANG1.

I tryed this script but it not work ...

*Logged error*
Failed to parse script file

MKLIUKANG1 · Aug 17, 2017

Yeah, in the script I made a mistake. Try this one

Code:

void finisher(void AniP, void Ani , int RxMin, int RxMax, int Rz, int Type, int Flag)
{// Checks closest enemy's animation & range
// If it's accepted, change animation
// AniP  : Enemy's animation
// Ani   : Animation to change to
// RxMin : Minimum x range
// RxMax : Maximum x range
// Rz    : z range
// Type  : 0 = non targetted , 1 = for targetting, 2 = for grabbing
// Flag  : 0 = facing direction not necessary , 1 = facing direction must be opposite

Like I said before, the items are new entities so just for this bonus game, the items should use other type such as obstacle or NPC (don't use this if you have NPCs). Then the enemy must have candamage obstacle to allow him/her to get the item

betterbold · Aug 17, 2017

Thanks, Bloodbane and MKLIUKANG.

I tryed new script but it's not work ... but I want to try it.
*logged error : can't compile script

Sure, I changed food's type "obstacle" and player can't get it.
Should players have "candamage obstacle" ?

betterbold · Aug 17, 2017

I still not solve the problem but I make my game's video.

You can see minigame at 0:45.
Enemy is right guy and "nomove"...

O Ilusionista · Aug 18, 2017

What is the enemy hostile to setting? If the enemy is not not hostile to the type of the what you are using for the items, it won't attack it

betterbold · Aug 18, 2017

I set "hostile item" for enemy but it seems not work ...
Is it wrong ?

Bloodbane · Aug 19, 2017

Since the items are obstacles, you should be using hostile obstacle instead. And candamage obstacle too
