Solved A script to stop mprate while the char is running

[16-bit Fighter]

By helping myself thanks to a script @Kratus gave me I'm trying to do a new one. But OB shuts down once the character selection is supposed to appear.

The log tells me:

Script function 'changeentityproperty' returned an exception, check the manual for details.Script function 'changeentityproperty' returned an exception, check the manual for details.

and

There's an exception while executing script 'ondrawscript' data/chars/andy'/Andy'.txt

Here is my script :

void main()
{//Change mprate if running and according to the number or enemies and number of MP
    void self     = getlocalvar("self");
    void ani    = getentityproperty(self, "animationID"); //GET CURRENT ANIMATION
    int mp        = getentityproperty(self, "mp"); //GET CURRENT MP
    int recover    = getentityproperty(self, "mprate"); //GET MP RECOVER
    int ecount    = openborvariant("count_enemies"); //Get how many enemies are active
    int pcount    = openborvariant("count_players"); //Get how many players are active
    
    if(getlocalvar("defaultMprate"+self) == NULL()){ //VARIABLE "DEFAULT MPRATE" IS NULL?? FIRST CHARACTER SPAWN IN THE GAME??
        setlocalvar("defaultMprate"+self, recover); //CREATE A VARIABLE AND SAVE DEFAULT MPRATE
    }
    if (ecount < pcount && mp > 100) { // COUNT OF ENEMIES IS MORE THAN THIS OF PLAYERS AND MP IS MORE THAN 100??
        changeentityproperty(self, "mprate", 0); // STOP MPRATE
    }       
    if(ani == openborconstant("ANI_RUN")){ //IS IN RUNNING ANIMATION??
    if(mp > 0){ //CHECK IF MP IS ZERO TO PAUSE SCRIPT EXECUTION WITH NO MP
        changeentityproperty(self, "mprate", 0); // STOP MPRATE
        }
        }else{ //IS NOT IN RUNNING ANIMATION??
        changeentityproperty(self, "mprate", getlocalvar("defaultMprate"+self)); //DEFAULT MPRATE
    }
}

According to what I saw on the engine source code, the "mprate" property is not a changeable value, you can only get it.
Instead, to change the "mprate" in a character you must use the "mpset" property, like this:

changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", mp, mpstable, mpstableval, mprate, mpdroprate, chargerate);

In addition, the select screen deactivates most default character's routines and I suggest checking if the character is in-level before running this script.

if(openborvariant("in_level"))
{
    doSomething();
}

Thanks! I'll try it out.

I tested this way and it works

spawn delay
@script
void main()
{
int P1 = getplayerproperty(0, "entity");
if(P1){
changeentityproperty(P1, "mpset", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
}
}

I almost manage what I want to do. Here is the script:

void main()
{//Change mprate if running and according to the number or enemies and number of MP
    void self     = getlocalvar("self");
    void ani    = getentityproperty(self, "animationID"); //GET CURRENT ANIMATION
    int maxMp    = getentityproperty(self, "maxmp"); //GET MAXIMUM MP
    int mp        = getentityproperty(self, "mp"); //GET CURRENT MP
    int recover    = getentityproperty(self, "mprate"); //GET MP RECOVER
    int ecount    = openborvariant("count_enemies"); //Get how many enemies are active
    int pcount    = openborvariant("count_players"); //Get how many players are active
    
    if (ecount < pcount && mp > 100) { // COUNT OF ENEMIES IS LESS THAN THIS OF PLAYERS AND MP IS MORE THAN 100??
        changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", maxMp, 0, mp, 0, 0, 0); // STOP MPRATE
    }       
    if(ani == openborconstant("ANI_RUN")
    || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMP")
    || ani == openborconstant("ANI_RUNJUMP")
    || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMPATTACK")
    || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMPATTACK2")
    || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMPFORWARD")
    || ani == openborconstant("ANI_SLIDE")
    ){ //IS IN RUNNING OR JUMPING ANIMATIONS ??
    if(mp > 0){ //CHECK IF MP IS ZERO TO PAUSE SCRIPT EXECUTION WITH NO MP
        changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", maxMp, 0, mp, 0, 0, 0); // STOP MPRATE
        }
        }else{ //IS NOT IN RUNNING ANIMATION??
        changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", 960, 1, 960, 20, 0, 0);
    }
}

Here is the part that doesn't work in the script above:

if (ecount < pcount && mp > 100) { // COUNT OF ENEMIES IS LESS THAN THIS OF PLAYERS AND MP IS MORE THAN 100??

        changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", maxMp, 0, mp, 0, 0, 0); // STOP MPRATE

    }

PS: I wanted to put in color some part of the code in this post but I don't know how to do in code mode.

@16-bit Fighter

According to what I understood about the desired effect you only need to put a "else" to create two conditions. In addition, you can use NULL() in the mpset function to avoid changing properties you don't want to.

void main()
{//Change mprate if running and according to the number or enemies and number of MP
    void self    = getlocalvar("self");
    void ani    = getentityproperty(self, "animationID"); //GET CURRENT ANIMATION
    int maxMp    = getentityproperty(self, "maxmp"); //GET MAXIMUM MP
    int mp        = getentityproperty(self, "mp"); //GET CURRENT MP
    int recover    = getentityproperty(self, "mprate"); //GET MP RECOVER
    int ecount    = openborvariant("count_enemies"); //Get how many enemies are active
    int pcount    = openborvariant("count_players"); //Get how many players are active
    
    //PRIORITIZE THIS FIRST CONDITION, BUT IF IT'S NO MET PROCEED TO THE SECONDARY CONDITION!!
    if (ecount < pcount && mp > 100) { // COUNT OF ENEMIES IS LESS THAN THIS OF PLAYERS AND MP IS MORE THAN 100??
        changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", NULL(), NULL(), NULL(), 0, NULL(), NULL()); // STOP MPRATE
    }
    else //SECONDARY CONDITION
    {
        if(ani == openborconstant("ANI_RUN")
        || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMP")
        || ani == openborconstant("ANI_RUNJUMP")
        || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMPATTACK")
        || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMPATTACK2")
        || ani == openborconstant("ANI_JUMPFORWARD")
        || ani == openborconstant("ANI_SLIDE")
        ){ //IS IN RUNNING OR JUMPING ANIMATIONS ??
        if(mp > 0){ //CHECK IF MP IS ZERO TO PAUSE SCRIPT EXECUTION WITH NO MP
            changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", NULL(), NULL(), NULL(), 0, NULL(), NULL()); // STOP MPRATE
            }
            }else{ //IS NOT IN RUNNING ANIMATION??
            changeentityproperty(self, "mpset", 960, 1, 960, 20, NULL(), NULL());
        }
    }
}

Big thanks Kratus, the script works fine now!

To use the C language format when posting a code you need to follow these steps:

It automatically colors specific things but if I want to color by myself to make people focus on a part of the code I want, it doesn't work because "[COLOR=rgb(number, number, number)]blabla[/COLOR]" appears in C code format.

Use Rich BB. It won't give you auto coloring like a language specific code tag, but it allows you to use all the normal forum text. This is all well documented by both me and the forum software itself.
