Showing blood effects only once

[Stryke]

To check if a player has been hit:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionProjectile()
{
  triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "BloodFX", player.x + 1.25 + random(0,0.5), player.y + 1 + random(0,1.5));
} 


To make blood effects

PHP Code:

function onActionserverside()
{
  if (params[0] == "BloodFX")
  {
    temp.i = putnpc2(params[1], params[2], "");
    temp.i.join("bloodfx");
  }
} 


If I do this, the blood effects appear as much times as the amount of players there are on the level. How do I get around this to only show once? The blood effect is a GANI.

You'll have to show us the script of the class "bloodfx" as well.

I'm pretty sure onActionProjectile is triggered (when clientside) when ever a projectile hits something, not just the client player. Check up info on projectiles on the wiki as well as check out the tokens in the params variable (while in the onActionProjectile block).

[Stryke]

Sure.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  drawoverplayer();
  layer=2;
  setshape(1,1,1);
  this.show();
  sleep(2);
  this.destroy();
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  drawoverplayer();
  layer=2;
  this.int = int(random(0,3)+1);
  setcharani("bulletfx",NULL,NULL,NULL,9,5,4,NULL);
  setshape(1,1,1);
} 


The 3 first parameters are the bullet effects when it hits a wall.
The next 3 are the blood effects.. The 7th param is the sound effect.

All the params = index of sprite/sound.

That's onActionProjectile2() I believe.

Use showimgs, why putnpcs for blood effects?

It's a GANI.

Why not set it as a player attr?

[Stryke]

if(actionprojectile2) is the one that triggers when it hits anything. Not just the player. That's why I am using a testplayer() to see if it the player or not.

@cbk1994: How would that work?

PHP Code:

new GuiShowImgCtrl("BloodFX") {
  x = player.x;
  y = player.y;
  width = 8;
  height = 8;
  ani = "bloodfx";
  this.attr[5] = 9;
  this.attr[6] = 5;
  this.attr[7] = 4;
} 


You mean something like this will work ?

I guess, after going over it I can tell he's doing something very similar to Era's... I guess that would work. At first I was assuming he was going to be leaving blood on the level.

No, you would need an actual TShowImg on the level board.

would probably work.

If not, showani( 1, "mybloodgani", player.x, player.y ); may.

Woah, didn't know there a showani() command. Thanks i'll try it.
It automatically deletes itself after being played, right?

I don't think so.

Might want to do this:

PHP Code:

function showBlood()
{
  showani( [...] );
  schedulevent( length, "GaniEnded", "" );
}
function onGaniEnded()
{
  hideimg( 1 );
} 


EDIT:

Here are the showani params.

showani( index, x, y, direction, animation, params );

So something like

PHP Code:

showani( 1, player.x, player.y, 2, "mybloodani", "" ); 


[Stryke]

The scheduleevent doesn seem to work it keeps playing over and over again...

PHP Code:

if(actionprojectile2)
{
  temp.pl = GetPlayerIndex(#p(0), #p(1)); 
  if(temp.pl < 0)
  {
    this.int = int(random(0,3)+1);
    showani(1,#p(0),#p(1),2,"bulletfx",1,2,3,NULL,NULL,NULL,"ricochet" @ this.int @ ".wav");
    schedulevent( length , "GaniEnded", "" );
  } else {
  }
}
function onGaniEnded()
{
  hideimgs( 1 , 2 );
} 


NVM IT WAS SPELT WRONG LOL
THANKS MAN +rep osht cant..

[cbk1994]

Why do you use a combination of GS1 and GS2?

function onActionProjectile()

Also, replace 'length' with the time ...
