I'm making a defense system by making blues (proto man) this time.
bor - 0033.png

The code is below.

Code: 
void block(int Flag)
{
    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    if(Flag == 1)
    {
        changeentityproperty(self, "aiflag", "blocking", 1);
        changeentityproperty(self, "takeaction", "common_block");
    } else {
        changeentityproperty(self, "aiflag", "blocking", 0);
    }
}


com u freespecial5


anim freespecial5
loop 0
delay 30
offset 8 23
bbox 1 0 19 24
@cmd block 1
frame data/sprites/chara/blues/block-01.gif



In this way, I wrote a script to press the command upward to bring out the defense action.
However, as you can see in the screenshot, the result was that the missile penetrated.

What I expected was that the defense would be successful in freespecial5 with the script applied.

Maybe something went wrong?

The script is correct. Maybe the hitboxes are not colliding or the block animation is ending too early.

Looks like the projectile's facing direction is affecting the collision. Can you post the projectile entities that are shown in the video?

Ah.. If there is one thing I found out, it is correct that Pharaoh Man's projectile was made to penetrate. It was because there was no reaction from the blues.

At first sight it looks correct, I suggest removing the "nomove" command and see the effect.

You can set loop with certain frame like this without needing updateframe for it to repeat its loop for repeating to the second frame after the last.

Code: 
anim idle
loop 1 1 # loop {loop} {start} {end}
fastattack 1
delay 4
offset 6 5
attack -1 -1 14 14 12 0 0 0 8 0
hitflash hit-b
hitfx data/sounds/hit2.wav
dropv 2 2 0

@cmd groundkill
frame data/sprites/chara/pharaoh/buster-b03.gif
@cmd groundkill
frame data/sprites/chara/pharaoh/buster-b04.gif

Just in case for simplicity purpose unless the looping goes very weird and unstable.

Were you able to set it right in the loop? Thanks, this was a feature I needed every time.

Yes. I use it a lot. :) Oh! I forgot to show you this one.

loop {bi} {start} {end}

  • Determines how loop effect is applied in current animation
  • {bi} toggles looping on or off.
    • 0 = looping off
    • 1 = looping on
  • {start} determines the number of frame the animation loops to. Defaults to 0 or 1st frame.
  • {end} determines the number of frame which starts the loop. If left blank, the animation will loop at the end of animation.
  • Some animations should NOT be set to loop (loop temporary at least). Examples include most attacks and injured animations.

Which script you use to spawn the projectile? I would like to take a look.
Click to expand...
Code: 
void shoot(void Shot, float dx, float dy)
{ // Shooting targetted projectile
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   float Vx = getlocalvar("x"+self);
   float Vy = getlocalvar("y"+self);
   void vShot;

   if( Vx!=NULL() && Vy!=NULL() ){
     vShot = shooter(Shot, dx, dy, Vx, Vy);
     changeentityproperty(vShot, "velocity", Vx, 0, 2*Vy); //Move projectile towards target!
   }
}

I used this script and target.h to create a projectile that detects players like a shooter.
By the way, I tested it with missiles from other bosses, and seeing that Blues didn't respond, I think I was missing something from Blues.

I want to see the script that generates the projectile, in this case the "shooter" function.
Sometimes the problem is in places where we never imagine, I suggest considering every option like having a problem with the projectile too instead of the "Blues" entity.

EDIT: Question, are you using the shield with an additional entity? If I'm not wrong, you asked about it on another topic. I see that the projectile is programmed to only hit type "player" entities in the candamage section, and certainly the additional shield is not considered a player.

#include "data/scripts/library/target.h" (*****.h contains void shoot and void target.)

target

Code: 
void target(float Velx, float Vely, float dx, float dy, int Stop, int Flip)
{// Targetting opponent before leaping or dashing.
// Velx = x Velocity
// Vely = y Velocity
// dx = x added distance
// dy = y added distance
// Stop = flag to stop moving if no target is found

    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    setlocalvar("T"+self, findtarget(self)); //Get nearest player

    void target = getlocalvar("T"+self);
    setlocalvar("x"+self, target1(target, Velx, Vely, dx, dy, Stop, "x", Flip) );
    setlocalvar("y"+self, target1(target, Velx, Vely, dx, dy, Stop, "y", Flip) );
    setlocalvar("T"+self, NULL()); //Clears variable
}

shoot

Code: 
void shoot(void Shot, float dx, float dy)
{ // Shooting targetted projectile
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   float Vx = getlocalvar("x"+self);
   float Vy = getlocalvar("y"+self);
   void vShot;

   if( Vx!=NULL() && Vy!=NULL() ){
     vShot = shooter(Shot, dx, dy, Vx, Vy);
     changeentityproperty(vShot, "velocity", Vx, 0, 2*Vy); //Move projectile towards target!
   }
}

Here are the Pharaoh Man moves.
There is a script applied in the middle.

Blues doesn't respond to the normal missiles of other robot masters, so it doesn't seem to be Pharaoh Man's problem.

The void shoot you already posted, instead I want to see the void shooter.
I need to know how this function is coded because I'm trying to replicate this issue in my game.

If you set @cmd target and @cmd shoot together, projectile will automatically aim at the player position.

Sorry friend, I can't replicate the issue in my game without seeing how the shooter function is coded.
I can take a look at your game file directly if you send me a copy.
