- - Boomerang (https://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134260135)

This is the boomerang script, I made for Classic iPhone a month or two ago. Basic collision detection for hitting players is in the script, but will require modification for things like throwing it diagonally initially.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE



function onWeaponFired() {

  // Check if boomerang is out

  if (this.active) return;

  // Player animation

  setani("grab", "");

  freezeplayer(0.1);

  // Throw boomerang

  beginBoomerang();

}



function beginBoomerang() {

  // Initialize Boomerang

  this.boomerang_x = player.x + 1 + 2 * vecx(player.dir);

  this.boomerang_y = player.y + 1.5 + 2 * vecy(player.dir);

  this.boomerang_dir = player.dir;

  this.boomerang_ang = 0;

  // Activate

  this.active = true;

  // Draw boomerang

  drawBoomerang();

  // Loop

  setTimer(0.05);

}



function onTimeout() {

  // Check if deactivating

  if (!this.active) {

    hideBoomerang();

    return;

  }

  // Move boomerang

  if (this.boomerang_ang < (pi / 2)) {

    this.boomerang_x += vecx(this.boomerang_dir) * cos(this.boomerang_ang) * 2;

    this.boomerang_y += vecy(this.boomerang_dir) * cos(this.boomerang_ang) * 2;

    this.boomerang_ang += (pi / 16);

  } else {

    temp.newangle = getangle(this.boomerang_x - player.x - 1.5, this.boomerang_y - player.y - 1.5);

    this.boomerang_x += cos(temp.newangle) * cos(this.boomerang_ang) * 1.5;

    this.boomerang_y -= sin(temp.newangle) * cos(this.boomerang_ang) * 1.5;

    if (this.boomerang_ang < pi) {

      this.boomerang_ang += (pi / 16);

    }

    if (this.boomerang_x in |player.x, player.x + 3| && this.boomerang_y in |player.y, player.y + 3|) {

      this.active = false;

    }

  }

  // Draw boomerang

  updateBoomerang();

  // Hit Objects

  temp.plyr = testplayer(this.boomerang_x + 0.5, this.boomerang_y + 0.5);

  if (temp.plyr > 0) {

    if (this.lasthit == 0) {

      this.lasthit = 5;

      // Hit Player

      temp.obj = players[temp.plyr];

    } else {

      this.lasthit--;

    }

  }

  // Loop

  setTimer(0.05);

}



function drawBoomerang() {

  with (findimg(1)) {  

    x = thiso.boomerang_x;

    y = thiso.boomerang_y;

    ani = "classic_boomerang";

    layer = 1;

  }

}



function hideBoomerang() {

  hideimg(1);

}



function updateBoomerang() {

  with (findimg(1)) {  

    x = thiso.boomerang_x;

    y = thiso.boomerang_y;

  }

}

Included the gani that it uses as well, it uses the default sprites.

Isn't it generally undesirable to use "global" showimgs, those with an index below 200, as they only seem to be updated every other frame (From what I saw the other day) and there's more efficient ways to do it (In terms of network usage) that also have the advantage of letting you control it on each individual client, allowing you to interpolate or extrapolate it in order to smooth it?

I've never had complaints about using the global indexes with animations before, and the 'efficiency' gains don't really seem worth it to me.

Feel free to script your version and post it.

Same here. Most of the time it is "good enough". Plus, clientside interpolation could potentially go out of control if you have 100 people using boomerangs like mad (especially if on an iPhone).

Don't worry about that. The iPhone client seems to run better than the PC one :\

Some people still have the first generation iPod Touch... sooooooooooo....

Cool. First post for a gs2 boomerang I've ever seen. :x GJ.

You probably have used setLevel2 clientside. setLevel2 only works serverside. To use setLevel2 in a weapon such as this, I'd recommend using the triggerServer function to send the player object to the server, and then setting that player's level there.

Ie.
Clientside:

PHP Code:


		
			
triggerServer("gui", name, "SetLevel", player object here);

Serverside:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide() {
  if(params[0] == "SetLevel"){
    // your setlevel stuff here
  }
}

There's never any reason to send the player's account in a trigger.

No, I want to make it warp players on touch..

post your problems in npc scripting, not on threads.
also BUMP!
