Possible?: health draining all the time, get items or defeat enemies to recover

[7smiths]

Hi, I hope I can ask it here. The idea is... is it possible to make that e.g. that health of player always drains and you need to defeat enemies and/or get items to replenish it? Or maybe make it so it drains if you do not move, but if you move it stops draining?

@7smiths I have a similar script in SORX an I adapted to fit in your purpose.

Create a script named drain.c, put in the scripts folder and copy/paste all the content below inside it.

void main()
{
    void self    = getlocalvar("self");
    void ani    = getentityproperty(self, "animationID");

    if(ani == openborconstant("ANI_IDLE")){
        float time = openborvariant("elapsed_time");
        float rate = 200; //CYCLE RATE, CAN BE FREELY CHANGED ACCORDING TO YOUR PURPOSE
        int health = getentityproperty(self, "health");
        int reduce = 10; //AMOUNT OF HEALTH TO BE REDUCED EACH CYCLE

        //START THE VARIABLE IF NULL
        if(getentityvar(self, "drainTime") == NULL()){
            setentityvar(self, "drainTime", time+rate);
        }

        //DRAIN HEALTH ACCORDING TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS
        if(getentityvar(self, "drainTime") < time){
            if(health > reduce){

                //USED TO REDUCE HEALTH ONLY
                changeentityproperty(self, "health", health-reduce);
            }
            else
            {
                //USED TO KILL THE PLAYER PROPERLY IN THE LAST DRAIN CYCLE
                damageentity(self, self, reduce, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL"));
            }
           
            //RENEW THE DRAIN RATE
            setentityvar(self, "drainTime", time+rate);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        //CLEAR THE DRAIN CYCLE VARIABLE IF THE CHARACTER IS NOT IN THE IDLE ANIMATION
        setentityvar(self, "drainTime", NULL());
    }
}

Then, call it as a script event at the character header like this:

name      Axel
type      player
health    100
script    data/scripts/drain.c

This is the result:

Wow, thank you!

p.s.
Also you have used one of my favorite bgm in showcase

Nice, this could be used as a survivor stage, where you need to get itens to not die. (Although, on this case, I would adapt the code to be run at stage update script instead)

Thanks buddy. I didn't test yet but adapted the script to fit in a global event like level update or updated.c.

void main()
{
    void player1 = getplayerproperty(0, "entity");
    void player2 = getplayerproperty(1, "entity");
    void player3 = getplayerproperty(2, "entity");
    void player4 = getplayerproperty(3, "entity");
    
    drainFunction(player1, 0);
    drainFunction(player2, 1);
    drainFunction(player3, 2);
    drainFunction(player4, 3);
}

void drainFunction(void player, int pIndex)
{
    if(player != NULL()){
        int exists = getentityproperty(player, "exists");
        void ani = getentityproperty(player, "animationID");

        if(exists && ani == openborconstant("ANI_IDLE")){
            float time = openborvariant("elapsed_time");
            float rate = 200; //CYCLE RATE, CAN BE FREELY CHANGED ACCORDING TO YOUR PURPOSE
            int health = getentityproperty(player, "health");
            int reduce = 10; //AMOUNT OF HEALTH TO BE REDUCED EACH CYCLE

            //START THE VARIABLE IF NULL
            if(getglobalvar("drainTime"+pIndex) == NULL()){
                setglobalvar("drainTime"+pIndex, time+rate);
            }

            //DRAIN HEALTH ACCORDING TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS
            if(getglobalvar("drainTime"+pIndex) < time){
                if(health > reduce){

                    //USED TO REDUCE HEALTH ONLY
                    changeentityproperty(player, "health", health-reduce);
                }
                else
                {
                    //USED TO KILL THE PLAYER PROPERLY IN THE LAST DRAIN CYCLE
                    damageentity(player, player, reduce, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL"));
                }

                //RENEW THE DRAIN RATE
                setglobalvar("drainTime"+pIndex, time+rate);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //CLEAR THE DRAIN CYCLE VARIABLE IF THE CHARACTER IS NOT IN THE IDLE ANIMATION
            setglobalvar("drainTime"+pIndex, NULL());
        }
    }
}
