Trailer.c issues with the "colourtable" property.

I'm using the trailer.c script for Shadow Trails in my mod.

I managed to get everything fine, set the openborconstant variable to the desired animation and such. But I still have one problem: each of the playable characters have four selectable colors, with a fifth hidden color for the use of the Shadow Trail palette.

if(anim == openborconstant("ANI_RUN")){ map = getentityproperty(ent, "colourtable", 4);}
I used this code for setting the fifth palette on the shadow trail, but whenever the animation is played, the trails appear using the first pal.

For clarification, I've put an attachment with the issue I'm trying to solve in a screenshot.

Shadow trails are something I wanted to fix for my mod for a long time if I find a fix I will post it up.
 
Think I know the issue, but there are several "trailer.c" scripts floating about. Mind posting yours so I can know for certain?

The trailer.c script goes like this:
Code: 
#include "data/scripts/trailer.h"

void main()
{
	int i, j, k;
	void spr;
	int facing, cd;
	float a, z, x;
	
	void ent = getlocalvar("self");
	int anim = getentityproperty(ent, "animationid");
	void map;
	int elapsed_time = openborvariant("elapsed_time");

	if(anim == openborconstant("ANI_RUN")){ map = getentityproperty(ent, "colourtable", 4);}

	setglobalvar("blahblah.map", map);


	if(elapsed_time%trailerd==0)
	{
		if((anim == openborconstant("ANI_RUN")))
		{
		spr = getentityproperty(ent, "sprite");
		x = getentityproperty(ent, "x");
		z = getentityproperty(ent, "z");
		a = getentityproperty(ent, "a");
		facing = !getentityproperty(ent, "direction");
		for(k=1; k<=trailermax; k++) //find an empty trailer slot
		{
			if(getglobalvar("trailer"+k+".s")==NULL())
			{
				setglobalvar("trailer"+k+".s", spr);
				setglobalvar("trailer"+k+".x", x);
				setglobalvar("trailer"+k+".z", z);
				setglobalvar("trailer"+k+".a", a);
				setglobalvar("trailer"+k+".f", facing);
				setglobalvar("trailer"+k+".c", trailerc*trailerd);
				break;
			}
		}
	}
	}
}

And this is the code of my character:
Code:

Edit: I agree with Ilusionista on this. Is it possible to implement on the engine?
 
O Ilusionista said:
That function is something I believe should be coded into the engine, kinda like mugen does.

Normally if something can be implemented by script it should be. At the moment the engine is being cleaned to remove any unneeded and legacy code to give us a lighter more stable engine to work with.


I have split all my scripts into separate text files so all entity's can point to 1 animation script with multiple lines importing each script so this will make it easy for anyone to pick out only the scripts they need and add it to their mod.


this is my animation script for all entity's in my mod:


Code: 
#import "data/scripts/gravity.c"
#import "data/scripts/fanim.c"
#import "data/scripts/slams.c"
#import "data/scripts/spawns.c"
#import "data/scripts/tossx.c"
#import "data/scripts/randomsfx.c"
#import "data/scripts/smartbomb.c"
//enemy scripts
#import "data/scripts/ttarget.c"
#import "data/scripts/wcheck.c"
#import "data/scripts/timer.c"
//speech entity
#import "data/scripts/speech.c"
#import "data/scripts/cleartext.c"
#import "data/scripts/menugo.c"


Don't know if I can pull it off but I am trying to remake Orochi X's shadow trail script using only local variables.

I am no stranger to that concept. And that is not a set in the stone rule. Take a look at basemap, for example.
But since it relies on updatescript, I dunno if it would be a good idea.
 
happy I could help the tint option can help cover up the inability to set shadows to alternate maps for now.
