Floating Text Effect
1 Attachment(s)
It's a fairly simple effect that I recently remade on Zodiac and can be easily integrated into your own systems.
I've attached the effect at the bottom. Just upload it into your ganis folder.
Here's an example implementation:
-Effects_Text
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onTimeout() {
// Check for Floating Text IDs
if (this.floating.size() > 0) {
// Loop through Floating Text IDs
for (temp.imgid: this.floating) {
// Check if ID is expired
if (timevar2 >= this.floating.(@imgid)) {
// Hide Floating Text
hideimg(imgid);
// Remove Floating Text ID Data and from Array
this.floating.(@imgid) = "";
this.floating.remove(imgid);
}
}
// Continue Looping if there's still Floating Text
if (this.floating.size() > 0) {
setTimer(0.1);
}
}
}
function onActionClientSide() {
switch (params[0]) {
case "playerdmg":
showDamage(params[1]);
break;
case "npcdmg":
showNPCDamage(params[1], params[2], params[3]);
break;
}
}
public function showDamage(dmg) {
// Determine Coordinates
temp.tx = player.x - .5 + random(-1,1);
temp.ty = player.y + 1 + random(-1,1);
// Img ID Counter
this.counter_npc = (1 + this.counter_npc) % 20;
// Draw Floating Text
showFloatingText(1 + this.counter_npc, tx, ty, dmg, 1, 0, 0);
}
public function showNPCDamage(tx, ty, dmg) {
// Img ID Counter
this.counter_npc = (1 + this.counter_npc) % 20;
// Draw Floating Text
showFloatingText(200 + this.counter_npc, tx, ty, dmg, 1, 0, 0);
}
public function showFloatingText(imgid, tx, ty, msg, r, g, b, z) {
// Hideimg just in case
hideimg(imgid);
// Add to Image Tracking Array
if (!(imgid in this.floating)) this.floating.add(imgid);
// Set Time to Hide
this.floating.(@imgid) = timevar2 + 0.75;
// Display Text
showani(imgid, tx, ty, 0, "effect_floatingtext", msg, r, g, b, z);
// Timeout
setTimer(0.1);
}
Then in your baddy:
PHP Code:
// Assumed Baddy Code
function onActionDamage(dmg, from) {
// Tell Attacker's Client to Draw Damage Text
findplayer(from).triggerclient("weapon", "-Effects_Text", "npcdmg", this.x, this.y, dmg);
}
Upon doing damage to the baddy it should tell your client to display the floating damage text on your screen.
If you just want to test the code out:
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
setTimer(0.5);
}
function onTimeout() {
temp.dmg = int(random(1,10000));
findweapon("-Effects_Text").showDamage(temp.dmg);
setTimer(0.5);
}
If you want to see the effect just walk outside OSL on Zodiac and there should be some PKers killing each other. |
