Problems with walls

This is the second time I try to work with walls and is really frustrating.
I'm using the ObEditor 1.5.9 and have managed to create what he wanted.
But the problem is during the game.
The characters go through the walls in the slams, or throws and disappear from the screen. Each character has the script antiwall in their movements, but still not working properly. The players and the enemies disappear and  are locked up on the screen, if you try to move, eventually falls back to the screen.
I've been thinking about abandoning the idea of using walls, but I want to use every effort to make the most complete mod.
I hope to find what the problem is.

DC will this function detect the difference between a wall in front of you and when you are on top of a wall?
Click to expand...

It's more accurate to say it doesn't care - all it looks for is if the bound entity is inside of a wall. So if you on top of a wall but not in it, then it knows not to shunt. The only situation you might want to watch for is if you are on a wall and you push the bound entity below you down into it. As you can probably guess, you'll get shunted instantly to the far end of that wall, or to the edge of the screen if said wall is long enough.

I don't worry about this because my grab system is configured to allow pushing people into the ground without making their offset go below it.

So please DC, show us how declare in a animation with a example.  And explain better how set that values.
Thanks!

The script itself has commenting that explains how it works, and I've already answered your questions. Not to be mean, but it's very annoying to spend time creating functions specifically for others to use and have them repeatedly ignore the documentation. All you need is inside.

That is the question: What happens if you are above a wall, which is been used as a platform and use this code? Won't it push the entity backward?

Maybe my crap english isn't enough to explain, so watch this video - see how Hulk is pushed back at the end by the @cmd antiwall. There is no wall in front of him, but below him (as a platform), but the code still detects it.

! No longer available

Here is the code:

void antiwall(int Dist, int Move, int Distz)
{// Checks if there is wall at defined distance
// If there is wall, entity will be moved away with defined movement
  void self = getlocalvar("self");
  int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
  int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
  int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
  float H;
  float Hz;

  if (Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                 
      Dist = -Dist; //Reverse Dist to match facing
      Move = -Move; //Reverse Move to match facing
  }

  H = checkwall(x+Dist,z);
  Hz = checkwall(x+Dist,z+Distz);

  if(Hz > 0)
  {
    changeentityproperty(self, "position", x, z-Distz);
  }

  if(H > 0)
  {
    changeentityproperty(self, "position", x+Move);
  }
}
Click to expand...

What I can do to prevent such behaviour on that code?


Also, I don't get this part:
    #define DC_WALL_SHUNT_VT_EMPTY  openborconstant("VT_EMPTY")
    #define DC_WALL_SHUNT_VT_PTR    openborconstant("VT_PTR")
Click to expand...

What "openborconstant("VT_PTR")" means?

No I get what you mean. Like I said in my post before, when you are on a wall it depends on the height of the offset you are checking. If the offset being checked is below "ground level", that is to say, falls down into the wall you are standing on, then it will be detected as a wall and give you unwanted wall shunting. There are a couple of ways to deal with this depending on your setup.

What "openborconstant("VT_PTR")" means?
Click to expand...

It means "pointer type". Internally, entities and objects are pointer variables. A pointer is a variable that "points" to the memory address of another variable. Sounds esoteric and pointless on paper, but is one of the most necessary and powerful coding features of C.

Anyway, checking the type of parameter is a dependable way to verify it. I see this technique a lot and it works OK...

Code: 
if(entity && getentityproperty(entity, "exists"))
{
    ...do stuff...

...but sometimes bad data can still get through and cause undefined behavior. Type checking is much cleaner and more reliable. Entities are always pointers, ergo if the variable is anything but a pointer, then it's not a valid entity. Simple as that.

@ Ilu : I think I've posted the updated antiwall function somewhere :-[
Anyways, here's the updated one:

Code: 
void antiwall(int Dist, int Move, int Distz)
{// Checks if there is wall at defined distance
// If there is wall, entity will be moved away with defined movement
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
   int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
   int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
   float H;
   float Hz;
   float Hw;

   if(Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
      Dist = -Dist; //Reverse Dist to match facing
      Move = -Move; //Reverse Move to match facing
   }

   H = checkwall(x+Dist,z);
   Hz = checkwall(x+Dist,z+Distz);
   Hw = checkwall(x+Dist,z-Distz);

   if(Hz > y && Hw <= y)
   {
     changeentityproperty(self, "position", x, z-Distz);
   }

   if(H > y)
   {
     changeentityproperty(self, "position", x+Move);
   }
}

DC sorry, but your explanation is too technical and not all handle that language.
I do not even really speak English, but I do my best to make myself understood and understand everyone.
I always give my best to learn new things, and I think I have not done too badly, considering the result of my first demo.
So if this is your decision not to provide all those things we try to learn every day, I respect but do not share.
Since the idea is to help each other, no matter who knows less or more.
For my part I will not comment more on this thread, it makes no sense.
If anyone can explain this scrip and show how in an animation, will be welcome. Thanks for all anyway.

Hey friend you can understand how declare that script?
Click to expand...

I think you need to acquire first the "self" (or the caller) and the "target", or I am missing something here?

void self = getlocalvar("self");
void target = getentityproperty(self, "grabbing");
Click to expand...

or

void self = getlocalvar("self");
void target = getlocalvar("Target" + self);
Click to expand...

Then

dc_wall_shunt (self, target);
Click to expand...

By the way, the difference between getentityproperty(self, "grabbing") and getlocalvar("Target" + self) is that in the first case its a shortcut for whatever entity the caller is 'grabbing' (an internal routine for grab) where the second works with any target?

@BB: thanks!

I appreciate your help friend!
But it would be good you try the script first and then show as you declared in animation. Because what you treat me to explain is Chinese to me. Thank you.

Well this is far I can reach wit my limited knowledege about this:

Code: 
// Default to self if no anchor entity provided.
    if(typeof(ent) != DC_WALL_SHUNT_VT_PTR)
    {
        ent = getlocalvar("self");
    }

    // Get anchor location.
    x		= getentityproperty(ent, "x");
    y		= getentityproperty(ent, "y");
    z		= getentityproperty(ent, "z");

    // Get location of bound entity.
    check_x = getentityproperty(bound, "x");
    check_z = getentityproperty(bound, "z");
    anchor_b = getentityproperty(bound, "base");

    // Bound is right of anchor?
    if (check_x > x)

See the info here, can undestand six values must set:

I think this refer to the player, "x" and "y" must be the offset and "z"  I guess be 0
Code: 
    // Get anchor location.
    x		= getentityproperty(ent, "x");
    y		= getentityproperty(ent, "y");
    z		= getentityproperty(ent, "z");
[/code

And this mus be for the enemy, "x" an "z"are the coordinates of the @cmd position, and "base" I guess that will be the coordinates of "y"
[code]    // Get location of bound entity.
    check_x = getentityproperty(bound, "x");
    check_z = getentityproperty(bound, "z");
    anchor_b = getentityproperty(bound, "base");

So in this animation i set like this:
        @cmd    dc_wall_shunt 109 183 0 -58 -1 10

no, you are missing the point:

void dc_wall_shunt(void ent, void bound){
Click to expand...

The function is waiting for just TWO values: the  ENT and BOUND values.

ent: Anchor entity. - Who is calling this function
bound: Bound entity. - entity to be checked.

So "109" is not a valid caller. Neither "183" is a valid bound entity. Plus, the function is wating for a string - a value between quotes, not a number.

And if I am not wrong, you can't call this function this way:
@cmd    dc_wall_shunt 109 183 0 -58 -1 10
Click to expand...

Because you need to give the caller and the bound entity (the target) and you can't give it that way.

Unless you can use like this:

anim attack3
loop 0
delay 6
offset 72 109
bbox 52 50 32 59
hitflash flash3
@script
    if(frame==0){

Damon, am I calling the function on the right way?

@script
    if(frame==0){
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void target = getentityproperty(self, "grabbing");
    dc_wall_shunt (self, target);
    }
@end_script

Or can I call it using @cmd method?

You're close, but using @script tags really isn't how it was meant to work. Unfortunately I can see that Bloodbane's script doesn't provide any way to get the bound entity. I've got an idea of how that might be handled. Let me get back to you a little later today.

Here is an updated version. This one will default to anchor's "grabbed" entity if you don't pass a valid bound. As before, anchor defaults to self. This makes it possible to use @cmd tag with grab systems that don't provide entities.

So you can call it like this:

Code: 
@cmd dc_wall_shunt NULL() NULL()

Now you just need to call it in the right spot. That one is easy. Call it when you think a wall shunt is needed. Generally the best place to do that is right before you release a bound entity - but depending on the visual dynamics of the throw, you are free to call it elsewhere too.

Code: 
#ifndef DC_WALL_SHUNT

    #define DC_WALL_SHUNT 1

    #define DC_WALL_SHUNT_VT_EMPTY  openborconstant("VT_EMPTY")
    #define DC_WALL_SHUNT_VT_PTR    openborconstant("VT_PTR")

    #define DC_WALL_SHUNT_ADJUST    15

#endif

void dc_wall_shunt(void ent, void bound){

	/*

Thanks. Using the @script was the only way to pass who is the self and the target.

And if I may ask, why don't you simple post the way you call the function on your character? I think we can understand better if we see how you do it, because I fail to think in any other way to call it (unless you use openborvariant direclty on the script call).

@BB: Thanks man, I tried your code and it works perfectly.

I totally agree with you my friend.
It would be much easier if he share the script showing it like that, and I asked at the beginning.
It is much clearer to everyone.
