GBaddy v.2.0

[devilsknite1]

Not meaning to revive this thread, but out of curiosity, why does this baddy not move unless on the default pics1.png tileset? I tested this on a type 1 tileset and the baddy would not move. With the same code, I tried it on the default tileset, it worked fine. I also have a custom HP system in play. When the baddy attacks the player, it subtracts from player.hearts, not the clientr var I set it to. wutdo?

The script does not recognize the levels tiletype unless you add the level to serveroptions like this:

PHP Code:

newtilesetlevels=mal_blobbowl.nw,exampleheader_

You can also do newtilesets=true if your entire server uses a type 1 tileset.

Thanks to both of you!
Now it still subtracts from player.hearts, when that's not defined anywhere... Any ideas?

Classic hit detection is a bit peculiar. It loops through all GANIs in the level and looks for the "sword" gani, and if it's present and in position to hit the player, the player's hearts are subtracted.

The easiest solution is just to make a new GANI named "myserver_sword.gani" (which is a clone of sword.gani) and use this in place of "sword".

I imagine replaceani("sword", "reallyobscureswordgani"); would do the trick as well. (Ez Classic Spar God Mode?)

I remember at one point doing: replaceani("sword", "idle"); caused NPCs to 'attack' you if you touched them that was a good laugh.

I released version 3 of the GBaddy not that long ago (you can find it here). Just figure I'd point that out in case you didn't notice since you should be using the most recent version of the script before changing it around.

As for wanting the baddy to work with custom systems, you would have to make alterations to the damagePlayer() function (particularly the setcharani("sword", ""); line). You can place your custom health variable under that line and it should deduct straight from it but the system will still remove from player.hearts due to the baddy using sword.gani, so you'll need to address that. The onCounter() event also uses a setcharani("sword", ""); line so keep that in mind as well.

Edit: Looking back at it, the script as a whole could use a complete overhaul (especially with there being a lot of redundancy), but investing anymore time in it would be a waste; nonetheless, it's complete enough for what it's worth--a learning tool to help get you started, not something to be used on a server without major modifications.
