Looking for feedback on smartbaddy BETA
 
I created a smartbaddy, using gbaddy3.0 to help me a little. This baddy is supposed to simulate how a player would fight. This baddy runs around the player and sometimes charges rather than charging 100% of the time, to create a challenge. In addition, the baddy has a 0.1-0.4 second delay before swinging its sword to show it is not a perfect computer that can hit right away. This script may be used for learning purposes, and feel free to upload it to your server to play with it. However, this script may not be used in the final content of a server. I might give away permission to this script if I get good feedback. I wouldn't use this on your server anyways, as I am sure it is not very efficient. Also, I had a bit of trouble with the triggering of the npc when hit, so if someone could tell me how to fix it, that will be appreciated.

I used /style class, do you know of a better way besides manually doing it? I created this from an older script I made and didn't feel like redoing the whole styling.

Tricxta 05-17-2011 03:54 AM
use the tab key on your keyboard and quickly run through your script fixing it up, the script isnt that long... alternatively go into the level editor paste your script there and press the style button in the npc window like the way it use to be done before npc server scripting became the new BIG THING

also....
PHP Code:
    if(this.plyr.hearts = 0){ 
    this.ani="idle"; 
    } 
    } 
error??? also while = works dont do it!!! instead use this standard

= is for assigning values eg:this.i=4;
== is for comparing values eg:if (this.i==4)

might wanna fix this up

and....
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE 
function onWa****(){ 
switch(player.dir){ 

case"0": 
triggeraction(player.x+1.5,player.y-2+1.5,"hit"); 

break; 


case"1": 
triggeraction(player.x-2+1.5,player.y+1.5,"hit"); 
break; 

case"2": 
triggeraction(player.x+1.5,player.y+2+1.5,"hit"); 
break; 

case"3": 
triggeraction(player.x+2+1.5,player.y+1.5,"hit"); 
break; 
} 
} 
learn how to use vecx() and vecy()

triggeraction(player.x+1.5+(vecx(playerdir)*2),pla yer.y+1.5,"hit");

also arent triggeractions ment to have a space for parameters being sent or is this different in gs2?

I styled it using a website that people have reccomended and fixed errors. I had a lot of errors because I took an old script I made when I had been scripting for less than a week and built off of it. and trixta yes the single equal sign (=) was an accident.

Tricxta 05-17-2011 04:20 AM
you've been scripting for less then a week yet you feel this is code gallery worthy? Uhmmm k bai

salesman 05-17-2011 04:20 AM
you could always try styling your code as you write it

No, I have been scripting for months. Read. I said the original script was made in my first week. I completely redid it today. btw fixed a huge glitch that caused the npc to target the same direction every time. Also nerfed the npcs reaction speed but improved its strategy.

oo_jazz_oo 05-17-2011 05:39 AM
The problem with your styling is that there are huge line gaps, indentation is all wrong.

PHP Code:
function onCreated() {
  if (player.hearts > 5) {
    this.chat = "Hello!";
  }
}
function onPlayerTouchsme() {
  if (player.ap > 80) {
    player.hearts += 1;
    if (player.hearts >= 10) {
      this.chat = "Thats a lot of hearts!";
    }
  }
} 
Beginning and ending curly braces are on their own line. Code inside said braces is indented more. Any code inside those braces is indented even more.
This makes reading scripts much easier.

Do not use the built in style function on rc, as it tends to muck things up, and it is much better practice to style as you go along, instead of coding a giant wall of text, then attempting to style afterwards.

Beginning braces should be on the same line as the function declaration, and ending braces should be on their own line.

Stop being an ass.

How to style your script properly with jsbeautifer.org

Copy-paste your code into the code text area.

Settings:
- Indent with 2 spaces
- Braces with control statement
- Un-check all Checkboxes

Click 'Beautify'

When your code is styled properly, it's now possible to see that you have other functions nested in your timeout function.

Many fixes! The baddy currently doesn't work on gmaps at the time, I had to remove this to make the hit detection better.

Im not a scripter myself, and i don't know a lot about it. So tell me if i am wrong, but does the style of the script and the layout actually effect the script in any way in terms of its functionality?

No, but by making the script look organized, others(and yourself!) can understand the script better and find errors easier. An example of this is when I originally had an unorganized script, which fowlplay then styled, who discovered several functions were "nested" in another function.(that is bad)

Ok thanks for that. I learn something new everyday.

skillmaster19 05-20-2011 12:38 AM
The baddy is now more efficient, by moving some things out of the timeout.I fixed many bugs causing it to keep charging, and it changes targets at the correct time now(when hit, when it hits, etc) I also fixed the styling :D
btw, how good or bad is this CPU time? 0.073447624 % npcs[2] (in level skills_sample_level.nw at pos (30.9, 6.1)) (skill_insidebaddy)

You're still using a 0.1 second timeout for a baddy and that is very troubling for something you plan to have a lot. Aim for 0.5 second minimum timeout.

How else am I supposed to update the position frequently? the low timeouts are necessary to have the baddy fight well.

With move(). Sure you can do it your way and use interpolation on the client-side to smoothen out the movement but that's a bit more complicated.

I made a post about this similar situation a while back:

Thanks, but the point of this baddy was to be action based, and keep the baddies response times amazing. If I lowered the timeout to 1 second, the whole targeting system would be pointless, because the player is constantly moving. I logged onto zodiac to find out while the baddies move very smoothly, but if you run from them they take about a second to respond, same as when you enter their aggro area. of course this kind of adaptation has to be done to Zodiac because it has hundreds of monsters being fought at once,but I plan to just use this baddy for part of a quest that will occasionally be played by new players.(there won't be hundreds of them being actively fought, that would crash the server)

Twinny 06-09-2011 01:57 AM
The timeout value is quite intensive. I could only think that maybe you could leverage some of it clientside i.e. place the intended target in an attr[] serverside and have it move at a slower rate whilst smoothing out the movement clientside.

Admins 09-07-2011 06:06 PM
0.1 is fine as long as the baddy is only moving when there are players around.
