Help with shooterM function

Thegr8test · Nov 18, 2015

I'm not sure how to call this function in the players script when I try @cmd shooterm the game crashes, if I drop the m then the mod loads and runs fine but the projectile isn't mapped to the players map.

Thegr8test · Dec 9, 2015

thanks for helping to clean up the functions I made all the changes but it still has no effect did you test it out after applying the changes?

Bloodbane · Dec 10, 2015

Are you sure you have removed the wrong shoot function?

Thegr8test · Dec 11, 2015

Yeah i removed the first one like you said and replaced the other functions

Bloodbane · Dec 12, 2015

It works well, see attached shot

What is exactly you mean by 'no effect'?

No change to the color

Thegr8test · Dec 12, 2015

when i shoot the projectile there is no change here are the functions I changed

This is the only shoot function now

Code:

void shoot(void Shot, float dx, float dy, float dz)
{ // Shooting projectile
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
   int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
   int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
   void vShot;

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

   vShot = projectile(Shot, x+dx, z+dz, y+dy, Direction, 0, 0, 0);
   return vShot;
}

and I changed shooter and shooterM like you said

Code:

void shooter(void Shot, float dx, float dy, float dz, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz)
{ // Shooting projectile with speed control
   void vShot = shoot(Shot, dx, dy, dz);

   changeentityproperty(vShot, "velocity", Vx, Vz, Vy);
   changeentityproperty(vShot, "speed", Vx);
   return vShot;
}
void shooter2(void vName, float fX, float fY, float fZ, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz)
{//Spawns projectile next to caller and move it with speed
 //vName: Model name of entity to be spawned in
 //fX: X location adjustment
 //fY: Y location adjustment
 //fZ: Z location adjustment
 //Vx: X speed
 //Vy: Y speed
 //Vz: Z speed

   void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   void vSpawn; //Spawn object.
	
   vSpawn = spawn01(vName, fX, fY, fZ); //Spawn in projectile
   if (Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
      Vx = -Vx; //Reverse Vx direction to match facing
   }

   changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "velocity", Vx, Vz, Vy);
}


void shooterM(void Shot, float dx, float dy, float dz, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz)
{ // Shooting special projectile with speed control and matches its map with own's map
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int map = getentityproperty(self,"map");
   void Spawn;

   Spawn = shooter(Shot, dx, dy, Vx, Vy);
   changeentityproperty(Spawn, "map", map);
}

and last this is how I call the function in ironman's text

Code:

@cmd	shooterM "plasma" 30 65 1 0 0 0

This is really odd, there must be another script conflict here
Can you check ilu.h, escript.c and dograb.c to see if any of them has shoot or shooter function?

BTW shooterM should be like this:

Code:

void shooterM(void Shot, float dx, float dy, float dz, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz)
{ // Shooting special projectile with speed control and matches its map with own's map
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int map = getentityproperty(self,"map");
   void Spawn;

   Spawn = shooter(Shot, dx, dy, dz, Vx, Vy, Vz);
   changeentityproperty(Spawn, "map", map);
}

Sorry, I forgot to fix this one before

here's a link to escript now I went in and removed the shoot function and the palette change worked but now the projectile doesn't move it just sits stationary in mid air so I uploaded the unaltered version of the file so you can take a look

http://www.mediafire.com/download/kmq2t8k8pnhk8aq/escript.c

Bloodbane · Dec 14, 2015

Ah glad you found it
As for the not moving projectile, it's because you set 0 velocity to the projectile making it stop on spawning

@cmd shooterM "plasma" 30 65 1 0 0 0

Change the value in red to something to set correct velocity

Thegr8test · Dec 15, 2015

Alright thanks BB ill do it in the morning

Thegr8test · Dec 15, 2015

everything works great now thanks again and is there a similar function for bombs?

Bloodbane · Dec 16, 2015

No. Recently I used custom bombs which can be shot/tossed with same function as custom projectiles, that's why I don't need special function for bombs
But I can create the function for you, the question now is do you prefer to use the going-to-be created function OR use custom bombs and use different yet versatile function?
BTW this is example of custom bomb:

name EBBomb
type none
candamage player
lifespan 4
nolife 1
palette none
subject_to_wall 0
subject_to_hole 1
no_adjust_base 0
subject_to_gravity 1
subject_to_obstacle 0
subject_to_platform 0

anim idle
loop 1 2 6
delay 5
followanim 1
followcond 1
landframe 8
offset 12 12
attack 2 2 22 22 10 1
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot1.png
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot4.png
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot3.png
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot2.png #
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot1.png
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot4.png
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot3.png
frame data/chars/bloboss/Bshot2.png #
attack 0
frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif

anim follow1
delay 6
offset 12 12
frame data/chars/misc/empty.gif

It doesn't use ATTACK1 nor ATTACK2 animations but you can set what animation this bomb will play after landing frame of IDLE animation and set animation after hitting something in FOLLOW1 animation

Thegr8test · Dec 17, 2015

the custom bomb method should be fine thanks

Bloodbane · Dec 19, 2015

Okay then, first of all, update toss function to this:

Code:

void toss(void Bomb, float dx, float dy, float dz)
{ // Tossing bomb
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
   int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
   int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
   void vShot;

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

   vShot = projectile(Bomb, x+dx, z+dz, y+dy, Direction, 0, 1, 0);
   return vShot;
}

2nd, remove other toss function which could be available in escript.c

Last, here's the tosserM function you requested:

Code:

void tosserM(void Shot, float dx, float dy, float dz, float Vx, float Vy, float Vz)
{ // Tossing bombs with speed control and matches its map with own's map
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int map = getentityproperty(self,"map");
   void Spawn;

   Spawn = toss(Shot, dx, dy, dz);
   changeentityproperty(Spawn, "velocity", Vx, Vz, Vy);
   changeentityproperty(Spawn, "speed", Vx);
   changeentityproperty(Spawn, "map", map);
}
