Question!
 

Hello folks,

How to get the angle that my projectile is shot with inside the gani? Ehh.. what I mean is:

1. I use:
temp.a = getangle( vecx( player.dir), vecy( player.dir));
shoot( player.x, player.y, player.z, temp.a, 0, 0, "e_spell_fireball", "");

2. What I now want is getting the angle that I shot with, inside the
e_spell_fireball.gani's script.. like:
SCRIPT
findImg( 1).text = gani.angle;
SCRIPTEND
Should show a message with the angle...

Anyone can help me?

Hummm I need some help... !! :P

This is coming from the person who managed to script perfectly lagless baddies?

P.S. params, retard.

No, actually, a friend of mine (Drakilor) scripted them for him. He made even more ownage baddies on Mythic.

I was being sarcastic.
If your baddy is active and using less than .0004% of the server, something's wrong.

Or they are clientside. (Although I suppose that would fall into the 'something's wrong' category)

Noobnoob
 

Lol, actually.. this Drakilor guy didn't, Ziro... he only made the Endora baddies less laggy. (which he did by removing or changing less than 5 lines..) The Esteria baddies are entirely new.

When do people stop talking **** so fast, while they don't even know wheater its true or false! ^^

I added temp.angle before, instead of "" in the shooting part.. then I setted the rotation of the particles to params[ 0] and it refused to work =P

Echo params[0] and see if it set right. If it didn't, then that's your problem. If it did, then post some particle code.

Step 1 --> shoot( player.x, player.y, player.z, temp.a, 0, 0, spell.anim, temp.a);
Step 2 --> Inside the gani (e_spellball_fireball.gani): echo( params[ 0]);
Step 3 --> Pressing F2 and seeing nothing!

Any comments?

Ps. It's not that temp.a isn't loading or so (I also tested with this., thiso., etc..).

Are you sure echo() works in a gani? You could try to set the players chat to params[0].

I did echo( "Debug: " @ params[ 0]); and all that showed up was "Debug:"... so yes it works ;)

The problem's in the way you scripted the gani. GG.

Then give me an example of what would work please? :)

Ehh.. no one knows how? :S

I've decided I'm going to boycott helping anyone who uses that annoying and pointless style where you put a space between the opening parenthesis and the first parameter, but leave the last parameter intact with the closing parenthesis. (or in the extreme cases, do it for array indices aswell.)

Everyone has his own style.. we don't have to do it all your way, do we?

No, you do it in a way that's legible, looks nice, and isn't horribly stupid. like capitalizing every word. -that- gets on my nerves. but that's beside the point.

As long as my scripts are working proper, and are constructed in a good way, joo must **** :eek:

Formatting is part of the construction. Therefor the condition for calani to '****' is not met.
Calani is right, your formatting is far from legible and it's annoying as hell to read. You are the only person on the face of the earth that uses that type of formatting, I'm sure. You must be wondering why no one else uses it. (You remind me of NaS on Unholy Nation who intialises arrays like: this.mykewlarray = "\"one\",\"two\",\"three\""; because he thinks it makes him look like a good scripter.)

I just do my arrays like this.mykewlarray = { 1, { 2, 3}, { { 4, 5}, 6}, 7};
And not a silly way like that.. and actually, I don't care what you think about my scripting style! Also this is a little going off thread, so please answer my question from the first post, or stop posting.

It was an example, genius.

Whatever. Now please reply thread-related, I had a question.. which no one replied on in 2 pages.... reply on it, or leave the thread.

I can post wherever I feel like posting. I can also make witty remarks like that aswell: Fix your style or leave the scripting forums.

Could anyone close this thread please? I already fixed the problem.
(For people who want to know the solution: put a sleep( .05); before loading params inside the gani script).

ROFL!!! XD
I fell off my chair laughing.

It's silly, I know ;) What made me realise it.. is your floating text on VS:CONFLICT >_< I saw you loaded params from a showani or setani also, and echo'd from where they'd load, and the first time in the loop it didn't load, second and so on, it did ( after a sleep( 0.05); ) x_x
