In Progress Contra Action(Tech Demo 2)

[NED]

I'm glad to see the project continue to progress !

 

[Miru]

Megalo Attackers could be a good name for the project. Or Megalo Squadron.

Miru: you're on the right track. Maybe Megaforce will do.

nedflandeurse: Yeah, I've been jumping back and forth but I dedicated the past 2 weeks to this project thanks to taking time off from work, and I'll be off all next week to.

Welcome back DJ

About your issue, it's hard to find the error with just those. You'd need to post the real error message from OpenBoRlog.txt.

Yo Blood!  8)

Sorry, I thought the scriptlog was the go to file since it's the script that's the issue. I crashed the game again to pull up a new log file.

I tried looking into it myself so I'll know this in the future, and I did notice the first line here.

Script compile error: can't find function 'target0T'

Can't compile script 'FlyBot' data/chars/flybot/flybot.txt

I checked the line in the entity before realizing it meant the script file itself, and saw that the line with the error, target0T, is exactly the same as a script from Contra, Escript specifically. That's the best I can do on my own, but I'm thinkin it's an issue with me using a more recent build of OpenBOR.

void returner(float Time)
{// Return to previously stored coordinates
// Entity will reach coordinate within specified time
// Time = specified time

    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    float Tx = getentityvar(self,5);
    float Ty = getentityvar(self,6);
    float Vx;
    float Vy;

    Vx = target0T(Time, Tx, Ty, 0, 0, "x", 0);
    Vy = target0T(Time, Tx, Ty, 0, 0, "y", 0);

    changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", Vx, 0, Vy); //Return!
}

The log says that you don't have target0T function in your target.h library. Check that library and see if there's target0T function.

 

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

Check the library, guess the function was missing. Copying it from Contra did the trick, and now the game doesn't crash anymore.
Thanks again, but what told you it was in the library, or did you know already?

[Bloodbane]

Glad that solves the problem

I know it's in library cause that's where I put target0T function.
