[solved] pain in obstacles

I noticed that obstacles can't have a pain animation (or its isn't working), so I will need some help here.

I would like to make a Cola vending machine (remeber Avengers game?), where you can hit the machine few times before it explodes (so it can't die on the first hit).
On each hit, I will make it spawn a cola item, which will heal you a bit.

How its the best way to make it?

At the start I was sure obstables can allow pain anims.
And finally figured that this is not possible. (certainly witout using some scripts)

But it still interests me.

Here is the solution:

on the IDLE anim, put this:

Code: 
counterrange	0 4 3 1
followanim	1

Reffer to the manual for the values:

counterrange {start} {end} {condition} {damage}

~Animation header. Replaces Counterframe and works identically except where noted.
~{start} Start of frame range when counter may trigger.
~{end} End of frame range when counter may trigger.
~cond determines the condition requirements before FOLLOW{#} is played.
1: The counter will always be used.
2: The counter will be used as long as the attacker was an enemy (Or a player if an enemy uses it).
3: The counter will be used as long as the attacker was an enemy, the attack was not unblockable, hits the user from the front, and was not a FREEZE attack.
~damaged determines whether the entity will receive damage from the hit or not.
0, the damage won't be taken
1, the damage will be taken.
~Which FOLLOW animation played is determined by 'followanim'.

Edit: we will need a little trick to make it work as we wanted to.
Let me post all the codes:

Char header
name colamachine
health 20
type obstacle
gfxshadow 1
diesound data/sounds/klunk.wav
nolife 1
Click to expand...

Idle animation
anim idle
delay 1000
offset 100 147
counterrange 0 4 3 1
followanim 1
bbox 79 83 48 68
platform 101 149 -19 -20 18 19 10 54
frame data/chars/misc/cola/cola0.png
Click to expand...

The idle use a counterrange to send the machine to the follow1 anim:

anim follow1
delay 4
offset 100 147
bbox 79 83 48 68
@script
    if(frame==0){
      void self = getlocalvar("self");
      void Health = getentityproperty(self,"health");

      if(Health<=0)
      {
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FALL"));
      }
    }
@end_script
frame data/chars/misc/cola/cola0.png
offset 98 147
@cmd spawn01 "cola" 0 20 0
frame data/chars/misc/cola/cola0.png
delay 60
offset 100 147
@cmd anichange "ANI_IDLE"
frame data/chars/misc/cola/cola0.png
Click to expand...

We check the life to see if the entity still have life. If it doesn't have, it will go to FALL anim, but if it has life, the animation continue and we force it to return to idle animation.

Why this is necessary?

I dunno why, but even if you set "Life 1", the entity won't die directly, it will play the follow1 anim, even if its life is 0 (counterrange is set to make the entity receive damage). And if you don't tell the entity to return to idle, it will be stuck on the follow1 anim and won't die. Don't ask me why.

Then at the Follow1 anim, I just set a jumpframe (to make it fly a bit) and use a SUICIDE to destroy itself.

Thanks Lagarto!

Edit2: I made a small script to make it easier:

Put this in your animationscript
Code: 
void lifeCheck (int iLife, void Ani)
// Check the life and change the animation if the life is lower than given value
// Douglas Baldan - 04/11/2013
{
     void self = getlocalvar("self");
     void Health = getentityproperty(self,"health");

      if(Health<=iLife)
      {
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant(Ani));
      }
	  
}

Then I just call it:
Code: 
@cmd	lifeCheck 0 "ANI_FALL"

that is another solution, but this would bring some problems:
- enemies would attack it
- I need to add NPC on the list of things I can attack, and I don't want to attack all NPC (ok, I could simply do not put a bbox on the NPCs I should not attack)

yes it ruins npc cause now you would have enemy npc or friendly npc dillemas,. normally you dont want to attack npc cauyse they help you, changing to type enemy maybe works but has to be nomove 1 1.

Yes, with a bit of script. just check the car "life" and spawn a random debris. Then if the life is <then a certain value, change the animation to pain2, etc

if you need the debris to be random, use this code I created:

void spawnRandom(void vName,int vx, int vy )
// Spawn entity at random places
// 24.09.2013 - Douglas Baldan - O Ilusionista
{
int Xr = rand()%vx; // Random X pos
int Yr = rand()%vy; // Random Y pos

spawn01(vName,vx+Xr,vy+Yr,0);
}

Its a some type of scaffold, when you hit him, he fall over the enemies.

Here the problem,  using this system to make the pain animation,  when a hero hits the obstacle OpenBor crash.

Here a resume Log:

I try with both ways, settings the complete scrip in Follow 1, or calling the script for te animation script.  But the result it's the same.

The pain animation in this obstacle works perfect.

But, here the problem:
As you see in the idle animation you can find this lines:

        counterrange 0 4 3 1
        followanim 1

Seems when the obstacle using this, Openbor not recognized as an obstacle.

I have some move in my heros with a cancelgrab script before start the slam.
Code: 
void cancelgrab()
        {// Check grabbed opponent's name
        // If it's forbidden to grab him/her, revert to IDLE
           void self = getlocalvar("self");
           void target = getlocalvar("Target" + self);

           if(target==NULL())
           {
             target = getentityproperty(self, "opponent");
             setlocalvar("Target" + self, target);
           }
           if(target!=NULL())
           {
             char Tname = getentityproperty(target, "defaultname");
             char iType = getentityproperty(target, "type");

             if(Tname == "GORO" || Tname == "KINTARO" || Tname == "MOTARO" || Tname == "KIMOKAHN" || 

Tname == "BULLDOZER" || Tname == "KNIFER" || Tname == "KNIFER2" || iType == openborconstant

("TYPE_OBSTACLE") || iType ==openborconstant("TYPE_ITEM"))
             {
                 changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL15"));
             }
           }
        }

With this cancelgrab, when the heros perform the animation close to an obstacle, the hero's play ANI_FREESPECIAL15.

This work on the "Andamio" only if remove the lines:
        counterrange 0 4 3 1
        followanim 1

With the lines the cancelgrab not work, so the heros perform the grab animation without grab the "Andamio", or grabing the body of the most closer enemy, no matter if the enemy is dead, the hero perform the grab with him.

So what happened here??

PD: I try adding "Andamio" in the names of cancelgrab script, but not work.
I try adding this script in the animations of the Andamio:
Code: 
@script
if(frame==1)
{
  changeentityproperty(getlocalvar("self"), "type", openborconstant("TYPE_OBSTACLE"));
}
@end_script
It does not work...

Dante, I have a new version which will even let you use different animations based on the attacker facing, take a look:

Pain for obstacles + facing

This is a code to force obstacles to execute different custom animations when taking hit plus based on which side the hit comes from. == ANIMATIONS == IDLE FOLLOW1 (for facing right) FOLLOW2 (for facing left) For memory sake, we need to use two files - one is just to import the second, to...
