onwall2

[Tyhm]

Works just fine in levels
Returns "true" constantly on gmaps Or maybe just gmaps with tiledef type 1?
wtf?

[Chompy]

Tried %64 on the first two input values?

hmm- it should work @ Tyhm...

[Crow]

It does work on gmaps, I'm completely sure about that, since I have used onwall2() in Era's movement system. Maybe post your code here so I/we can take a look at it?

Bear in mind that x32, y32 on a gmap will always be x32 y32 in the upper left corner level, and not x32 y32 in the current level.

Relevant bit:

PHP Code:

  temp.h=10;//really it's the distance to the player
      for(temp.v=0;v<h;v++){
        temp.tx=v*(dx/h);
        temp.ty=v*(dy/h);
        
//        showpoly(0,{x+tx-1,y+ty-1,x+tx+1,y+ty-1,x+tx+1,y+ty+1,x+tx-1,y+ty+1});
        showimg(0,x+tx-1,y+ty-1,"insomshotgun-icon.png");
        
//doesn't work on a GMAP:
        if(onwall2(x+tx-1,y+ty-1,2,2)){
          if(v<1){
            temp.startedonwall=true;            
//this.chat="Started on wall:";
          }else{
            this.chat=(this.chat@" and found one at "@(x+tx-1)@","@(y+ty-1)@" ("@((x+tx-1)%64)@", "@((y+ty-1)%64)@")");
            if(startedonwall) v=-1;
            else v--;
            h=0;
          }
        }else if(v>0) temp.startedonwall=false;
      }
      
      if (v<this.r){
        setTimer(2);
//        message("Idle 2: v<this.r");
      }else if (startedonwall){
        setTimer(2);
//        message("Idle 2: startedonwall");
        //hurt the player or:
        //glomp the ally happens on acquiretarget
      }else{
        temp.tt=(v*this.speed*0.5)+(hearts/20);
        move tx,ty,tt,24;
        setTimer(1+tt);
//        message("Move "@1+tt);
      } 


Works fine on an inside level built with the default tileset, fails on an outside level built with the newtype tiledef.
Also it should be noted the NPC in question has dontblock(); and setshape 0 by 0, just to make sure it won't block itself.

PHP Code:

if(onwall2(x+tx-1,y+ty-1,2,2)&&false){ 


I don't get '&&false' are you trying '==false' maybe?

[Tyhm]

Oops;
&false is debug - means "never actually check this", as that part of the code is currently disabled. Editing previous post so you can see what it looked like when it worked as described...

[[email protected]]

'x' as in the position of the object or a set var? if a var please post

[Tyhm]

position of the object, modified (in theory) by the move command later on.

You know, it's possible I'm just botching the addtiledef; doesn't it have to be called serverside somewhere so the Server knows what set of onwalls and onwaters you're using? I mean, clientside sure, it can figure it out based on what the player's tiledefs are, but do I have to add a line to the server options or the control NPC or every script that asks for serverside onwall?

You probably need to add newtilesets=true (or newtilesetlevels) to the server options.

Bugger. Thank you, that answers my question perfectly. And newtilesets=true is right there in the serveroptions, and the problem persists. I'll make a test weapon that lights up everything it considers onwall serverside, see if I can figure it out...

...well, that went disasterously. Not only are all conceivable output methods clientside only (making a "Quick and easy" serverside-onwall-checker neither quick nor easy), but my best effort returned with the conclusion that every single tile on even the test levels is a wall, a conclusion not even the zombie NPC came up with...

[Tyhm]

Furthering The Mystery:

When these zombies are placed at 32,32 on level a_01 of a tiledef2 gmap'd map, they find walls everywhere.

When the exact same level is renamed so that it's no longer a tiledef or a gmap, they work fine

When the exact same level is renamed so that it's STILL A TILEDEF but NOT a gmap, they work fine!

onwall2 just won't work on a gmap! Wtf!?


Further Still:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  setTimer(1);
}
function onTimeOut() {
  Find_A_Wall();
  setTimer(1);
}
function Find_A_Wall() {
  if( onwall2( player.x, player.y, 1, 1 ) )
  {
    player.chat = "EEK I found A Wall!";
   // echo("Found a Wall");
  }
  else
  {
    player.chat = "I'd not find a Wall.";
    echo("Did not found a Wall");
  }
} 


After 3 hours of tinkering we made the simplest possible script. It never echoes that it did not find a wall. Ever. (though Found A Wall goes off constantly...) But not even when we give it an abitrary X and Y...did Stefan just disable onwall2 and not tell any of us?

LOLZ, NEVERMIND EVERYONE, THE SERVER OWNER FORGOT THE S. HE HAD NEWTILESET=TRUE, THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.

Thank you all for your kind indulgence.
