Mold from EK

[falco10291029]

Ok i'm sorry i have been trying to avoid posting here because i have the feeling i am becoming annoying, but no one i talk to can figure this out!

NPC Code:

---

 



if (created) {

initialize();

}

if (timeout) {

message #v(this.hearts/2);

if (this.found==0) {

setcharani mold_idle,;

for (i=0;i<playerscount;i++) {

if (abs(players[i].x-x)<=20&&abs(players[i].y-y)<=20) {



this.found=1;

break;

}

}

}



if (this.found==1) {

        if (abs(players[i].x-x)<=20&&abs(players[i].y-y)<=20) {

          setcharani ekmold-move,;

           tx=players[i].x - x;

              ty=players[i].y - y;

        dist= (tx*tx+ty*ty)^0.5;

  nx= (tx/dist)*1.2;

              ny= (ty/dist)*1.2;

                  move nx,ny,1.2,;



if (players[i].x in |x-3,x+3|&&players[i].y in |y-3,y+3|) {

setcharani ekmold-attack,;

with(players[i]) {

setani hurt,;

setstring client.hp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.hp))-1);

};

timeout=1;

}

} else {

setcharani ekmold-idle,;

this.found=0;

timeout=.1

}





timeout=.4;

}

timeout=.4;

}





function initialize() {



this.hearts=6;

setcharani ekmold-idle,;

timeout=.4;

}



function checkdead() {



if (this.hearts<=0) {

        with(getplayer(#p(2))) {

              insertstring client.messages,0,You gained EXP;

                  setstring client.playerexp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.playerexp  ))+3);

       if (strlen(#g)>1) {

setstring server.account,#a;

setstring server.guild,#g

}

}

for(i=0;i<allplayerscount;i++) {

with (allplayers[i]) {

if (strequals(#g,#s(server.guild))&&!strequals(#a,#s(  server.account))) {

    insertstring client.messages,0,You guild/party got you EXP;

setstring client.playerexp,#v(strtofloat(#s(client.playerexp  ))+3);

}



}



}





timeout=0;

putexplosion 1,x,y;

hide;

sleep 30;

show;

initialize();



}





else {

setcharani mold_idle,;

timeout=.65

}





}



//PROBLEM AREA

if (actionprojectile) {

this.hearts-=strtofloat(#p(1))+1;

setcharani mold_idle,;

message #v(this.hearts/2);

checkdead();

sleep .5;

}

//

ok i have looked over it as have several NATs. See the if (actionprojectile)?
well it doesnt respond to that. it ignores it. Acts like i never added that flag. It is very weird. I have actually replaced it with simple things like playerchats and they work. So why doesnt this? It should work by all standards. It used to work before EK was hacked. but now it doesnt. Any help would be appreciated

I don't mean to annoy you, but you might want to format your script a little better than that.

is it all clientsided?

[falco10291029]

no it's actually a class all the npc join into it. and ill edit my script and format it a bit if it really bugs u XD

Not formatting your code properly and using code tags has no purpose.

Also, I thought that only weapon scripts could recognize actionprojectile events. Check out your newfeatures documents.

And this is ture, make a weapon called -Projections or something and make the class trigger the action to that weapon, this way you can put all your actionprojectiles in that weapon just use #p(0) it identify each diffrent projection

I always add all of my projectiles into my system, no need to flood people with NPC's when they can be combined.

[falco10291029]

wait how can i make it read projectiles for a monster? Also Like i said it used to work fine, i dont know why it doesnt anymore.

just put the action in the monster like u would the weapon , so say if your using a gun and you sent the identifying pram as "gun" it would sorta look like

NPC Code:

---

if(actionprojectile){

 if(strequals(#p(0),gun)){

  this.hearts-=.5;

}

}

---

something like that =p

Indeed.

[falco10291029]

thats how it is well actually i used #p(1) because all of the weapons have damage after the parameter some just stun players for a while i figured a mold wouldnt be able to get stunned bnut anyways as you can see i did that but it doesnt work thats the problem as i sed

... ok im deff having a hard time understand what in gods name u did haha but if you want you can contact me on AIM and we'll talk further that way we dont have to keep this thread open anymore either

well he is trying to fix so far no luck but we have these deductions:

1.the problem is most likely with actionprojectile, since most other flags work.
2. I have no others this is tough

i only have the read rights for the mold class but look

Make sure that you set shootprams

EX:
this.maxangle = .05;
setshootparams gun,#g,#a,#v(this.damage),gun;
this.x = playerx+vecx(playerdir)*2;
this.y = playery-.3+vecy(playerdir)*2;
this.angle = getangle(vecx(playerdir),vecy(playerdir));
shoot this.x,this.y,playerz,this.angle+random(this.maxan gle*-1,this.maxangle),.75,this.power2,bullet,;


then in the class
if(actionprojectile){
if(strequals(#p(6),grenade)){
damage stuff our whatever else u want
}
}

[falco10291029]

well most of our weapons look like this for the shoot part:

setshootparams sword1(or a diff one if it does something special),damage,#a;
this.angle=getangle(vecx(playerdir),vecy(playerdir ));
this.x=playerx+vecx(playerdir);
this.y=playery+vecy(playerdir);
shoot this.x,this.y,playerz,this.angle(+random depending on the weapon),0,0,gani,;
//I use those zeroes just as an example.


then as u all saw in the mold:

if(actionprojectile){

this.hearts-=strtofloat(#p(1))+1;//i dont use the first parameter on the mold because so far nothing that would do a special thing like confusion or steal would affect mold
setcharani mold_idle,;
message #v(this.hearts/2);
checkdead();
sleep .5;
}

[ZeroTrack]

like i said, theres nothing wrong with your class, it has to be in the weapons

[falco10291029]

well i dont think that there is anything wrong with the weapons either.....

[ZeroTrack]

i have a good feeling it is, check the x and y cords and make sure there triggering in the right positions, make sure your prams are before the shoot action just to make sure cause im willing to bet any amount of money its the action

[falco10291029]

I checked every weapon and every wepon works fine agenst players and shoot and no weps work agenst the molds

1. projectiles don't seem to be able to "see" showcharacter npcs
2. showcharacter npcs don't seem to recieve the actionprojectile event

*results derived from testing on the Adiarde server
**also, testing was done on dbnpcs and classes, level npc's were not tested
***the projectiles worked on non-showcharacter classes
****why is it so much fun to post like this?

Clientside, serverside, what?

[falco10291029]

hmm i will try removing the showcharacter and adding a setshape or something....

[ZeroTrack]

he has it in serverside lance =D (this post is getting annoying lol)

I was referring to Chad's tests

oh yeah, clientside, didn't check server... *checks now*

serverside it works alright, save for the lag induced problems.

[falco10291029]

Well mold basically works now i basically still have a few things i might fix like giving it a death animation or something...
