The issue i'm having is that I'm trying to make collision for my custom baddie.
Basically, if the baddie reconizes the player.ani is an "ATTACK" gani, it will trigger the event. The ISSUE is that i have more than one ani for attack. (for different weapons)
For example, I have servername_sword_atkblade, servername_sword_atkstaff, etc
How do i make the baddie reconize all GANIs starting with "servername_sword_"?
PHP Code:
if (player.ani = "servername_sword_???")
{
//blablabla
Other Note: i DO NOT want to use function onWas.Hit because i am not using default movement system so it doesn't even work. |
If this is a matter of making your baddies receive attacks from the player, it would be inefficient to have every single baddy checking for the players gani, especially should you go on to add multiple different types of attacks later on.
It would be much better to script an area NPCs trigger within the weapon script.
Basic example:
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function swordAttack(){
temp.x = player.x + 0.5 + (vecx(player.dir) * 2);
temp.y = player.y + 1 + (vecy(player.dir) * 2);
temp.tnpcs = findareanpcs(temp.x, temp.y, 2, 2);
for(temp.n : temp.tnpcs){
temp.n.trigger("Slash", player.swordpower);
}
}
I personally have a system for handling multiple types of area NPC triggers different attack weapons are communicating with rather than writing this type of code out within each weapon.
What you're attempting to do with checking ganis however is pretty much how the default hit detection works, it's a good way to check for attacks from other players.
What I do for this on Classic is create a static var containing all the different types of attacks as secondary variable names:
PHP Code:
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
//function, frames
this.attacks = new TStaticVar();
this.attacks.nameofswordgani = {"functionToGetAttackData", ArrayOfFrameNums};
}
Rather than looping through an array of different possible attacks, it is then essentially a matter of doing:
PHP Code:
temp.attack = this.attacks.(@ temp.playerobj.ani.name);
if(temp.attack != NULL){
//check the frame number is valid for attacking, NULL means any
if(temp.attack[1].index(temp.playerobj.anistep) > -1 || temp.attack[1] == NULL){
temp.attackdata = this.(@ this.attacks[0])(temp.playerobj);
//do stuff to check hitboxes based on that data
}
}
