SOLVED Enemy count knifes

dantedevil · Jul 30, 2018

I have several enemies that have an attack to throw knives.
If these knives bounce off a wall, they fall to the floor and the players can grab them.
But it does not look very good when the enemy keeps throwing knives against the wall and they pile up on the floor. That is why I wanted to know if there is a way for the enemy to count the knives that are on the screen, so as not to keep throwing.

Remember the entity enumeration concept. You need to run a loop that goes through all entities on screen, and at each one look for some condition that identifies if it is a knife or not. If it IS a knife, then you add to a count.

Do this as the entity decides to throw a knife. If the count is too high, then cancel the knife throw action and do something else.

Ok my friend, I have some knowledge about counting entities, but I don't know exactly how identify this.

This is the special knife the enemy throw:

So I use this script for count enemies, courtesy of Bloodbane:

Code:

@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Enemy = openborvariant("count_enemies");

    if(Enemy == 2){
      changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0); // Should be omitted if declared in IDLE
      performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW10"));
    }
@end_script

But I don't know how use for count the "knife". As you see this 'knife" have type item, subtype weapon.

O Ilusionista · Jul 30, 2018

In you code, I would use "count_entities" instead, since they change their type. Btw, why you change the type only after hit?
Than just check the entity name. If its "knife" or "Knifer", add your logic here.

The type change is for the conterknife and some bug.
Sometimes the knifer get stuck into the wall when spawn the "knife".
Then when you kill all enemies, you can't advance. This way avoid the problem.

You can use this to count "knives":

Code:

@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");			//Caller.

    if(frame==1){
      void vEntity;                                       //Target entity placeholder.
      int  iEntity;                                       //Entity enumeration holder.
      char iName;                                         //Entity Name.
      int  iMax      = openborvariant("ent_max");         //Entity count.
      int C = 0;

      //Enumerate and loop through entity collection.
      for(iEntity=0; iEntity<iMax; iEntity++){
        vEntity = getentity(iEntity);                 //Get target entity from current loop.
        iName   = getentityproperty(vEntity, "name"); //Get target name.

        if(iName == "knife"){
          C = C + 1;
        }
      }

      if(C >= 5){
        performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW10"));
      }
    }
@end_script

You can alter frame==1, "knife", Knives limit and FOLLOW10 to suit your need

Remember to use count_entities instead of ent_max. Otherwise you are wasting a ton of loop cycles.

count_entities: Number of entities currently in play. For most modules, that's a few dozen at most.
ent_max: The maximum allowed number of entities. At the time of this post, that's 5000. In other words, your loop is counting from 0 - 5000 every single time.

Thanks to both my friends!

I just tried the script and modified it so that the enemy stops throwing knives when there are 3 on the screen, but it does not work.
The enemy still throwing knifes like the script doesn't exist.

Here my try:

Code:

anim attack4
	range	200 350
@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");			//Caller.

    if(frame==1){
      void vEntity;                                       //Target entity placeholder.
      int  iEntity;                                       //Entity enumeration holder.
      char iName;                                         //Entity Name.
      int  iMax      = openborvariant("count_entities");         //Entity count.
      int C = 0;

      //Enumerate and loop through entity collection.
      for(iEntity=0; iEntity<iMax; iEntity++){
        vEntity = getentity(iEntity);                 //Get target entity from current loop.
        iName   = getentityproperty(vEntity, "name"); //Get target name.

        if(iName == "knife"){
          C = C + 1;
        }
      }

      if(C >= 3){
        performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
      }
    }

Because you are checking for knifes in the frame 1 (frame 2, actually) and the entity shoots the knife in frame 7.

Ty to change to frame>=1

I'm sorry, but it does not work for me. Maybe you tried it already?

O Ilusionista · Aug 2, 2018

I can't test it right now, but I do see somethings:

- I would use "model" instead of "name". So you will get the actual name of the entity, not the alias you give it
- I am kinda confuse. Its knife, knife2 or knifer?

This is the code I use in Beast to prevent him to call another NPC. See that he will go to the attack animation ONLY if there isn't a NPC, and that animation (freespecial3) is just the idle duplicated

anim freespecial3
@script
if(frame ==0)
{
void self = getlocalvar("self");
setlocalvar("Beast_Bot_count" + self, 0);
int mp = getentityproperty(self, "mp");

int i;
for (i = 0; i < openborvariant("count_entities"); ++i)
{
void ent = getentity(i);
if ( getentityproperty(ent, "exists") )
{
if ( getentityproperty(ent, "type") == openborconstant("TYPE_NPC") &&
getentityproperty(ent,"model")== "Beast_Bot")
{
setlocalvar("Beast_Bot_count" + self, getlocalvar("Beast_Bot_count" + self) +1);
}
}
}
int Beast_Bot_count = getlocalvar("Beast_Bot_count" + self);
if(Beast_Bot_count <1 && mp >=60 )

{
changeentityproperty(self,"mp", mp - 60);
performattack(self, openborconstant("ani_follow4"));
}
setlocalvar("Beast_Bot_count" + self, NULL());
}

Lagarto made this code for me. Reading it again, I don't understand why checking if the entity exist...if we already counted the available anyway.

dantedevil · Aug 2, 2018

- I would use "model" instead of "name". So you will get the actual name of the entity, not the alias you give it
- I am kinda confuse. Its knife, knife2 or knifer?

I see the differences now.
After the "knife2" bounce in the wall and fall in the floor, spawn the "knife" (weapon) and and kill himself.
So in the Stage remains the knife in the floor.
Then I need the script checks how many "knife" are on the floor.

I'm going to try using "model" instead of name and I'll see what happens.

Later...
I try to modify the script based on yours, but I don't understand the logic to mix both.
I'm sorry, but this exceeds my knowledge.

So you need to count only the entity which are on the floor and they are called "knife"?
Remember that, in script, names are CASE SENSITIVE.

In your code, you are checking for "knife", but in your entity is "Knife"

Finally works my friend, thanks!
Was my error as you say:

I check "knife" instead "Knife", so now works.

But now I found 2 new problems:

1) After the enemy is hit and loses the weapon, when it recovers it can not launch it, it only executes the animation that says the Script, even though there is no knife on the screen.

2) I just realized that when you spawn an enemy with a weapon, the system not take into account the health that you put and always leave the one you have in the header of their txt.

spawn slicer
health 300
at 0

In their Slicer txt have health 80, and always spawn with this health, when spawn the weapon.
Is this true or is it a bug?
And if so, is there a way to allocate more health?

1) After the enemy is hit and loses the weapon, when it recovers it can not launch it, it only executes the animation that says the Script, even though there is no knife on the screen.

Well, after sone test I finally can solve the problem 1.

Here my solution:

anim attack2
range 200 350
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Caller.

if(frame>=1){
void vEntity; //Target entity placeholder.
int iEntity; //Entity enumeration holder.
char iName; //Entity Name.
int iMax = openborvariant("count_entities"); //Entity count.
int C = 0;

//Enumerate and loop through entity collection.
for(iEntity=0; iEntity<iMax; iEntity++){
vEntity = getentity(iEntity); //Get target entity from current loop.
iName = getentityproperty(vEntity, "name"); //Get target name.

if(iName == "Knife"){
C = C + 1;
}
}

if(C >= 3){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
}
}

setidle(vSelf);

As you see, when the enemy detect the counter script reach the limit, then change the amimation when he use and spend the weapon.
This is very useful to make an enemy get more use for a simple gun like a knife.

About the problem 2, I hope someone can give an alternative to give more health when spawn an enemy with weapon.

2) I just realized that when you spawn an enemy with a weapon, the system not take into account the health that you put and always leave the one you have in the header of their txt.

spawn slicer

In their Slicer txt have health 80, and always spawn with this health, when spawn the weapon.
Is this true or is it a bug?

A good question. But thinking about it, I think its right on this way, because it will go on this order:
- header
- level spawn
- weapon

Since weapon is the last one, it will override all the previous one (I am taking a wild guess here).

How you spawn the entity on the level? Try this

spawn slicer
weapon {name} {bi}
health 300
at 0

If it doesn't works, I think I have a solution for it.

dantedevil · Aug 2, 2018

spawn slicer
weapon {name} {bi}
health 300
at 0

I try this, but not work my friend.

I hope your other solution works.

O Ilusionista · Aug 2, 2018

Try this:

spawn slicer
@script void main() {
void self = getlocalvar("self"); // get caller
int iLife = 300;
changeentityproperty(self, "maxhealth",iLife );
changeentityproperty(self, "health",iLife );
} @end_script
weapon {name} {bi}
at 0

dantedevil · Aug 2, 2018

Code:

spawn  slicer
@script void main() {
void self = getlocalvar("self"); // get caller
int iLife = 300;
changeentityproperty(self, "maxhealth",iLife );
changeentityproperty(self, "health",iLife );
} @end_script
weapon knife 0
coords  362 242 0
at      0

Sorry my friend, but not work...

The same before, the enemy spawn with the health of the header txt.

Code:

name	SLICER2
health	60
speed	10
type	none
risetime -200 -200 
gfxshadow  1
aggression -30
dust		dust
hmap 1 5
fmap 2
aimove avoid

load knife2


typeshot      0
weaploss      0 
modelflag     1

Because we already managed to solve the problem by which we opened this thread, I decided it was resolved.
The new problem that we have found is derived from a new thread, since it is something different:

Thanks Bloodbane and O Ilusionista for all the help to solve this!!!
