custom fall reactions in OpenBor

NED · Sep 24, 2017

Hello,
I have not coded something for several months now due to IRL stuffs.
I think I can possibly go on now. I'm trying to see if this is possible with this engine.
And more importantly, HOW, this can be done.
This is a very very very very very simplified version of what I had initially in my mind. To make it possible to be done without having one more break in my possible future project.

Basically : a fall anim with custom fall reactions based on interactions.

I would really appreciate to have some support and help to code what this mockup shows.

If this is still too ambitious, or if it takes too much of your time, I would understand.
No problem. Thanks for your support.

Well, you should alter the function into this:

Code:

void wallhit2(int Dist, void Ani)
{// Checks if there is wall/platform at defined distance change animation
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
   int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
   float H; float Hy;

   if(Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                 
      Dist = -Dist; //Reverse Dist to match facing
   }

   H = checkwall(x+Dist,z);
   Hy = checkplatformbelow(x+Dist,z, 5000);

   if(H > 0 || Hy){
     performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani));
   }
}

I've tried this and it works with the build you are using

NED · Oct 29, 2017

Thanks a lot for your time Bloodbane.
It seems to be accepted by this build since the engine don't crashes anymore on startup.

I tested it, but now there is a crash on loading the level (?)
I have a "flood" of error messages about some other scripts in the demo.
(I posted a part of these error messages)

Since I don't really understand it. I don't know it they are elements needed for this feature or other scripts I can get rid of.

I'll try to ask to Dantedevil as well, since he made this demo.

dantedevil · Oct 29, 2017

I found the problem my friend!

You dont need the drago.c in the scipt folder.

Just delete the file and delete of your enemy.c the line:
#include "data/scripts/library/drago.h"

Sorry for that! :-\

NED · Oct 29, 2017

Don't worry, no problem.
You don't need to be sorry

I'm testing it now!

NED · Oct 29, 2017

After my try, I had this error message

Code:

Script error: data/scripts/enemy.c, line 16: Unknown error 'float' (in production 20)

   float H = checkwall(x+Dist,z);
   ^

I tried to update this wallhit2 code present in enemy.c as well
just like Bloodbane explained it before. Since this is the exact same script.

Code:

void wallhit2(int Dist, void Ani)
{// Checks if there is wall/platform at defined distance change animation
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
   int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
   float H; float Hy;

   if(Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                 
      Dist = -Dist; //Reverse Dist to match facing
   }

   H = checkwall(x+Dist,z);
   Hy = checkplatformbelow(x+Dist,z, 5000);

   if(H > 0 || Hy){
     performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani));
   }
}

And now, I have a bigger error message (flood)

Code:

Script error: data/chars/jeger/jegro.txt, line 106: Unknown error 'void' (in production 20)

void self = getlocalvar("self");
^

Make this:

Delete all this files of the library folder and this lines of your enemy.c:
#import "data/scripts/library/basic.h"
#import "data/scripts/library/spawn.h"
#import "data/scripts/library/target.h"

Then need add this two scrips in your enemy.c if you do not have them:

Code:

void clearL()
{// Clears all local variables
     clearlocalvar();
}

void spawn01(void vName, float fX, float fY, float fZ)
{
	//spawn01 (Generic spawner)
	//Damon Vaughn Caskey
	//07/06/2007
	//
	//Spawns entity next to caller.
	//
	//vName: Model name of entity to be spawned in.
	//fX: X location adjustment.
	//fY: Y location adjustment.
      //fZ: Z location adjustment.

	void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
	void vSpawn; //Spawn object.
	int  iDirection = getentityproperty(self, "direction");

	clearspawnentry(); //Clear current spawn entry.
      setspawnentry("name", vName); //Acquire spawn entity by name.

	if (iDirection == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
          fX = -fX; //Reverse X direction to match facing.
	}

      fX = fX + getentityproperty(self, "x"); //Get X location and add adjustment.
      fY = fY + getentityproperty(self, "a"); //Get Y location and add adjustment.
      fZ = fZ + getentityproperty(self, "z"); //Get Z location and add adjustment.
	
	vSpawn = spawn(); //Spawn in entity.

	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "position", fX, fZ, fY); //Set spawn location.
	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "direction", iDirection); //Set direction.
    
	return vSpawn; //Return spawn.

As an information.
I'm still using your demo at the moment.
I have not yet added any element of this to my project.
Just trying to tweak stuff ingame and making it working with my openbor build.

I think, the easier thing would be to get rid of every unnecessary script and keep only what is needed? To avoid possible uncompatibility crashes?

Well my friend, I use your build in the demo and have good news.
I can solve almost all the problems. The demo works ok.
Only one script not work:

Code:

@cmd damageentity getlocalvar("self") getlocalvar("self ") 0 1 openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL15")

This script need works over the enemy after he crash bouncing against the wall and fall. During the final frames of the fall.

Thanks DD!
Hope we can do something about it.
If I'm not wrong, this is the part when opponent falls after hitting a wall, right?

Perhaps Bloodbane have an alternative way to script it as well?
I don't know.

I have continued doing tests and detect something very strange with your build.

All the script this type, they give error:

Code:

@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");

if(frame == 11){
    changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0);
}

@end_script

In the log the mark as error always, this part of the script:
void self = getlocalvar("self");

So after doing some more tests, I chose to change these scripts, for the online scripts.

Then change this:

Code:

@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");

if(frame == 11){
    changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0);
}

@end_script

For this:

Code:

@cmd    stop

And works ok.

But, with these line it is different:
cmd damageentity getlocalvar("self") getlocalvar("self") 0 1 openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL15")

The game does not give an error, but it does not recognize them either.

I have tried to convert this script to use it inline, like the previous one, but I have not succeeded.
Here my try:

Code:

void damageE()
{// Changes antigravity effect
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
     int THealth = getentityproperty(self,"health");
        damageentity(self, self, 0, 1, openborconstant

("ATK_NORMAL15"));
      }
}

I think that if we can convert it to use like the previous one, we will have everything solved.

Thanks a lot for your time Dantedevil.
It's really a chance to have skilled guys like you and Bloodbane around.
Do you want me to ask Bloodbane if he can do something? or you think you can handle it.

Anyway, I don't know why there is so much unstable things on this build.
if I was sure of what is this exact build and had access to all the releases, I would make some tests to see what is the more newer build that is not buggy with my game project. :/

dantedevil · Oct 31, 2017

Don't worry, I send a pm to Bloodbane about this.
So I hope he can solve this and the demo will be 100 % working with your build.

NED · Nov 1, 2017

OK, thanks for it.

Don't hesitate to send him the edited demo with corrected script you did.
I think it could make things easier to him.

Do not worry my friend, I just sent Bloodbane the demo with your build and all the corrections.
Hopefully he can fixt it.

NED · Nov 2, 2017

Oh! Good news!

Bloodbane · Nov 3, 2017

Ned, I've got and tried the demo and seen the compatibility problems

I have two choices here:
1. Degrade the scripts to suit old build
2. Let the scripts be and instead fix the incompatibility of your mod with latest build

I prefer doing the latter for now, so can you list which scripts or features which don't work well in latest build?

NED · Nov 3, 2017

Oh, OK, thanks.
It can take some time, but I will list the elements not working.

One very simple one is the command back + block button.
I use it for a defensive hopback.
The command itself is immediately detected in old builds.
In any other newer builds the command feels rusty and most of the time, character will only block and turn around.

I'll try to list the other problems now.

NED · Nov 9, 2017

I tried to list the bugs, but I just cannot.
All the collision of obstacles and walls etc is wrong, my pin system don't works and a lot of stuff.
Basically 70% of the game system and elements is totally unstable with any different build.

@Bloodbane Since I cannot Ask you to degrade the scripts for old build, I have 2 possibilities.

-I restart coding the whole game from scratch. to make it compatible with newer builds.
-Or, I definitly delete the wall bounce feature (one more...) and keep the old stable build.

I'll take some days to think about it, but I'll have to make some sacrifices.
After reflexion, I think if I have to switch to new build, I will go with another different project.
Something more classic, or a platforming action game... not sure yet.

Bloodbane · Nov 9, 2017

Hmmm... okay, let's try degrading script to fit the old build, can you tell what should be fixed in the demo?
I've tried tossing Jegro toward obstacle and he got bounced fine. Going to try against wall later

In the demo that sends you everything works fine, with the exception of this two lines script:

Code:

       @cmd damageentity getlocalvar("self") getlocalvar("self") 0 1 openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL15")

       @cmd damageentity getlocalvar("self") getlocalvar("self") 10 1 openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL")

They do not produce any error, the system simply does not recognize them.

This line:

Code:

@cmd damageentity getlocalvar("self") getlocalvar("self") 0 1 openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL15")

I use it in the folloanim after the enemy is hit against a wall. When the system ignores this script, I can not grab the enemy, until I bring it down again.

This line:

Code:

@cmd damageentity getlocalvar("self") getlocalvar("self") 10 1 openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL")
