new setshape mode suggestion

[jake13jake]

Well, setshape was obviously made with the intention of having different modes, but thus far it only has one. that would be mode 1: square.

I hereby suggest setshape(2,rx,ry) for ellipses.
rx: the x-radius
ry: the y-radius

This came to me because my new damage system for classic will support radius-based damage.

Another setshape idea!
setshape(3,{x1,x2},{y1,y2});
Really, all these setshapes would be useful!

what exactly would that do?

I would assume that it'd allow him to make shapes easily, from pointing to the different coordinates. (I'd expect there would be more than 4 'point to' coordinates, to allow making other shapes).

Noww... aside from simply changing the shape of an NPC, this would be extremely useful for my damage system if:

was implemented, in which the coords/shape of an NPC would need to be declared immute somehow.

Another possibility would be setting the NPC's shape to another image, rather than the NPC's own image determining its default shape.

Why not ask for pre-set shapes in a script like this

NPC Code:

---

setshape3 3,5,3,{

  0,0,0,

  0,0,0,0,

  22,22,22,22,22

  };

---

Have the first number like a mode for the shape, like keydown(0) is up, keydown(1) is left etc.
Have it like
setshape3 mode,width,height,{set tile modes (blocking, non-blocking, hurting, etc)};
1 - Square/Rectangle
2 - Circle
3 - Triangle
4 - Pentagon
5 - Hexagon
6 - Octagon
etc etc
