onwater2 not working

[DustyPorViva]

I have the following script running:

PHP Code:

  if (horsecheck == true) {
    wall[0] = onwater2(player.x+check[k][0][0],player.y+check[k][0][1],check[k][2][0],check[k][2][1]);
    wall[1] = onwater2(player.x+check[k][1][0],player.y+check[k][1][1],check[k][2][0],check[k][2][1]);
  } else {
    wall[0] = onwall2(player.x+check[k][0][0],player.y+check[k][0][1],check[k][2][0],check[k][2][1]);
    wall[1] = onwall2(player.x+check[k][1][0],player.y+check[k][1][1],check[k][2][0],check[k][2][1]);
  } 


Basically, if the player is riding a horse it will check for water, and if not it will check for a wall.

They both use the exact same checks. With wall checking, the detection is perfect. However, if I start trying to detect water, half the time the player will go halfway into the body of water and such. It seems to have a slight delay in actually registering water.

This is clientside, by the way. Can this please be fixed?

edit: after some testing, onwater2(x,y,1,1) will only check a one pixel area for water, NOT 1 tile, like onwall2. HOWEVER, onwater2(x,y,2,2) functions the same as onwall2(x,y,1,1)... so I don't know what the hell is going on.

Here's in the script I used to test:

PHP Code:

  showpoly(200,{mousex-1,mousey,mousex-1+1,mousey,mousex-1+1,mousey+1,mousex-1,mousey+1});
  changeimgcolors(200,1,0,0,.25);
  showpoly(201,{mousex,mousey,mousex+1,mousey,mousex+1,mousey+1,mousex,mousey+1});
  changeimgcolors(201,0,1,0,.25);
  player.chat = onwater2(mousex-1,mousey,1,1) SPC onwall2(mousex,mousey,1,1); 


Red box represents my water check, and the green is the wall check. Both are identical, except one returns true(the onwall2) and one does not -- these results are also shown over the player's head, left is the water check and right is the wall.

Does it work in the bigger areas?

Don't know what you mean. All I know is it doesn't work like it should.

Stefan, could this be fixed please? I don't want to rewrite a WHOLE movement system to accommodate for a bug.

I've never trusted the onwall2 or onwater2 functions, but

For now anyway, maybe just use a solution like the following?

PHP Code:

function onwater3(tx, ty, w, h) {
  if (w == 1) w = 2;
  if (h == 1) h = 2;
  return onwater2(tx, ty, w, h);
} 


Edit: I see that you might be using more than just 1 tile checks.

onwall2 is fine, you just have to be aware of Graal's polygon calculation bug, since onwall2 seems to use the same code. Not sure about onwater2 though, but I can't image why it wouldn't function properly. I will give it a go soon.
