attn: all good scripters(like falados)

[ArchOwl]

If you can script projectile weapons, or anything that travels when shot, please pm me on the forums, or AIM me at Arch0wl, or msn message me at [email protected]

I know it may not seem to be worth your time but please atleast consider it.

its idiots like this that shouldnt play graal

[TDO2000]

u need to do showimg and hitplayer/hitobjects or just a triggeraction to attack (I had the best results with triggeraction)

something like:

NPC Code:

---

if(weaponfired && this.active==0){

  this.xy={playerx,playery};

  this.dir=playerdir;

  this.distance=0;

  this.maxdis=15;

  this.active=1;

  timeout=.05;

}



if(timeout){

  if(this.distance < this.maxdis){

    this.distance++;

    this.xy[0]+=vecx(this.dir);

    this.xy[1]+=vecy(this.dir);

    showimg 1,yourprojectile.gif,this.xy[0],this.xy[1];

    hitobjects 1,this.xy[0],this.xy[1];

  }

  else {this.active=0;}

  if(this.active==1){timeout=.05;}

}

---

could be shorter but this should show u how to do it...

hmm, see the things im going to make are basically fireball clones except for the size/width of the blast (they are guns)

[TDO2000]

hmmm so just take the hitobjects stuff from it, insert an onwall-check and do explosions if it's onwall ^_^

[LiquidIce00]

u could do showimg of the fireball thing .. or u can make it so when you shoot it records the index of the "arrow" and when it hits it putexplosion O.o

why to do it this way if a simple onwall check would do it to?

[ArchOwl]

nice people on this forum... now for the hard part; to get the graphics for it *huge sigh*

[Slaktmaster]

Arrays, I just say arrays.

[Shard_IceFire]

If you would stop making scripts for people they would eventually be forced to learn how to script

[ArchOwl]

all i need is a custom arrow/nukeshot and an arrow that cant be blocked by lizard shields/mirror shields/shields


a nukeshot with a damage and speed variable that i can edit
and an arrow with a damage and speed variable that i can edit

and if you do actually make these then what would i put to set the image and projectile images for it(basically script the stuff i put above like this but have the imagenames somewhere in them so i can edit those too)

and my project is pretty secrative so im trying not to leak stuff(and its not a server)

[btedji]

and what do we get

[ArchOwl]

graal2k1 stuff


if kumada ever gets unbanned maybe a few hundred gralats

why? these forums are here for people to get help, that is what he is trying to do.

you cant learn if you dont ask things.

commands.rtf isnt that descriptive on commands and how they interact with everything else.

the reason i need all this is because im trying to script stuff like this as a weapon and its RATHER HARD SINCE I HAVE NO SCRIPTING TALENTS

[Essenity]

You dont need talent to make projectile weapons, at least not simple ones. You just need to WANT to learn. I think its too easy for you to come here and have people do it for you instead of trying to learn.

More like:

You can learn if you dont ask things, but you wont learn if you have other people script things for you.

If I did then I'd script it differently. I've already coded pretty good guns for my WW PW concept skeleton thing and miniguns would make interesting staff weapons...

roy is working on:

rocket launcher
railgun
plasma machine gun thingy
dynamite

and we also have a pistol that brad let us use
you can use all of them if you script them

[Saga2001]

SINCE you said like faldaos and not like pastaustin i feel i cannot post here...

I am looking forward to the rail gun!

I am too.... but the sad part is, noone is willing to script it...
And people can easily just TELL me to learn how to script, but that takes months and months of learning

Tough. Stop spamming the forum.

How else am I going to find someone to script it if I cannot script it myself? Yes, massmessaging on graal2001 would work wonders
