Showing blood effects only once

To check if a player has been hit:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onActionProjectile()

{

  triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "BloodFX", player.x + 1.25 + random(0,0.5), player.y + 1 + random(0,1.5));

}

To make blood effects

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionserverside()

{

  if (params[0] == "BloodFX")

  {

    temp.i = putnpc2(params[1], params[2], "");

    temp.i.join("bloodfx");

  }

}

If I do this, the blood effects appear as much times as the amount of players there are on the level. How do I get around this to only show once? The blood effect is a GANI.

You'll have to show us the script of the class "bloodfx" as well. :)

I'm pretty sure onActionProjectile is triggered (when clientside) when ever a projectile hits something, not just the client player. Check up info on projectiles on the wiki as well as check out the tokens in the params variable (while in the onActionProjectile block).

Stryke

Sure. :)

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()

{

  drawoverplayer();

  layer=2;

  setshape(1,1,1);

  this.show();

  sleep(2);

  this.destroy();

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

{

  drawoverplayer();

  layer=2;

  this.int = int(random(0,3)+1);

  setcharani("bulletfx",NULL,NULL,NULL,9,5,4,NULL);

  setshape(1,1,1);

}

The 3 first parameters are the bullet effects when it hits a wall.
The next 3 are the blood effects.. The 7th param is the sound effect.

All the params = index of sprite/sound.

Use showimgs, why putnpcs for blood effects?

It's a GANI.

Why not set it as a player attr?

Stryke

if(actionprojectile2) is the one that triggers when it hits anything. Not just the player. That's why I am using a testplayer() to see if it the player or not.

@cbk1994: How would that work?

PHP Code:


		
			
new GuiShowImgCtrl("BloodFX") {

  x = player.x;

  y = player.y;

  width = 8;

  height = 8;

  ani = "bloodfx";

  this.attr[5] = 9;

  this.attr[6] = 5;

  this.attr[7] = 4;

}

You mean something like this will work ?

I guess, after going over it I can tell he's doing something very similar to Era's... I guess that would work. At first I was assuming he was going to be leaving blood on the level.

No, you would need an actual TShowImg on the level board.

player.attr[ 13 ] = "mybloodgani.gani";

would probably work.

If not, showani( 1, "mybloodgani", player.x, player.y ); may.

Woah, didn't know there a showani() command. Thanks i'll try it.
It automatically deletes itself after being played, right?

I don't think so.

Might want to do this:

PHP Code:


		
			
function showBlood()
{
  showani( [...] );
  schedulevent( length, "GaniEnded", "" );
}
function onGaniEnded()
{
  hideimg( 1 );
}

EDIT:

Here are the showani params.

showani( index, x, y, direction, animation, params );

So something like

PHP Code:


		
			
showani( 1, player.x, player.y, 2, "mybloodani", "" );

Stryke

The scheduleevent doesn seem to work it keeps playing over and over again...

PHP Code:


		
			
if(actionprojectile2)

{

  temp.pl = GetPlayerIndex(#p(0), #p(1)); 

  if(temp.pl < 0)

  {

    this.int = int(random(0,3)+1);

    showani(1,#p(0),#p(1),2,"bulletfx",1,2,3,NULL,NULL,NULL,"ricochet" @ this.int @ ".wav");

    schedulevent( length , "GaniEnded", "" );

  } else {

  }

}

function onGaniEnded()

{

  hideimgs( 1 , 2 );

}

NVM IT WAS SPELT WRONG LOL
THANKS MAN +rep osht cant..

Why do you use a combination of GS1 and GS2?

function onActionProjectile()

Also, replace 'length' with the time ...

Stryke

onActionProjectile only detects when hit on player.
if(actionprojectile2) detects when it hits anything.

I'm talking about your combination of GS1 and GS2.

function onActionProjectile() = if (actionprojectile)

function onActionProjectile2() = if(actionprojectile2)

params[0] = #p(0)

Stryke

06-08-2008 06:47 AM

For params part, #p(0) is shorter than params[0].
About the projectile2 part, it didn't work for me, but now it does. Thanks.

Who cares if it's shorter? X_X

It's ugly and makes little sense.

Not to mention that if GS1 ever gets removed, your scripts will go BOOM.

GS1 won't be removed, Stefan stated that. GS1 support itself kinda is removed already, but the syntax is still working. Though you should still not mix GS1 with GS2.

I said if..

I've also read on the Wiki, though I can't find it now, that you should avoid mixing GS1 and GS2.

That doesn't mean anything, we're talking about functionality and proper coding. You should never mix GS1 with GS2 in the case of many things such as with what ziro said in the case GS1 is removed.

Besides that it's just weird and improper coding!
