Onwall-Check

[Pelikano]

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired() {
  setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeOut() {
  for (temp.i = 0; i < 4; i++) { 
    if (!keydown(i)) 
      continue;
    temp.nOnwall = true; 
    for (temp.n = 0; n < 8; n++) { 
      for (temp.k = -1; k < 1; k += 1 / 16) { 
        temp.onwall = onwall(player.x + 1.5 + vecx(player.dir) * 17 / 16 + abs(vecy(player.dir)) * k, player.y + 2 + vecy(player.dir) * 17 / 16 + abs(vecx(player.dir)) * k);  
        if (temp.onwall) { 
          temp.nOnwall = false; 
          break; 
        } 
      } 
       if (temp.nOnwall) { 
        player.x += vecx(player.dir) * 1/16; 
        player.y += vecy(player.dir) * 1/16; 
      } 
    } 
  }  
  setTimer(0.05);  
} 


Hello.. some people told me that this script is not logical and that I have to do this and that. But no one has ever told me WHY it is not logical or WHAT my mistake is.
I dont want you to rescript this or anything like that.
Please tell me what wrong is Thanks.

So why don't you tell us what you're trying to do.

I am trying to change the speed of the player and scripting my own onwall check? lol.

Well then explain the script so people don't have to spend time to figure out what you're doing.

[Pelikano]

If you really want to help me you'll first read the script once.
And if you read the script once and your IQ is over 40 you'll understand it.

If you really want someone to help you then I suggest not being insulting.

And I don't "really" want to help you, however I don't mind helping if you explain some of the calculations.

Why are you using abs() on some of your vectors?

Instead of (player.dir in |0,2| ? k : 0) I use abs(vecy(player.dir)*k, because then vecy gives out 0 or 1, if it gives out 1 the player.dir is either 0 or 2, it's exactly the same as "(player.dir in |0,2| ? k : 0)".

[Chompy]

Yeah, but using if (player.dir in |0,2| ? k : 0) would give you the variable k if you are facing down, left and up..

As |0,2| doesn't mean 0 or 2, it means 0, 2 and anything between.

And do you know what vectors are? And how they work? And could you tell me why you are using 17/16 in your onwall calculations?
Because.. 17 divided by 16 is 1.0625 and in the long go it will eventually jump over a few tiles to check..

The |a, b| thing is a mistake I suppose. He's still quite new to coding. I explained him how vectors work, and using 17 / 16 will result in checking almost exactly one pixel out of the bounding box of the player.

Well, he were asking us at the Tesbed Server and wasn't very.. co-working.. or whatever the word is But yeah, I'm still wondering what he is trying to do exactly.. And I don't like how he responded in post #5.

He can a jerk like that, yea. Guess the next thing I will tell him is how to post on the scripting forums
He's trying to do either a custom movement or some addition to the default one (running or so). Cant remember.

It's generally a good rule of thumb to respect the scripters who are better than you and willing to help you with your problems.

Just for the record, my I.Q. is 130.

You're so smart; I admire you.

It's over 9000!!!!!!!

Congratulations.


Okay I am making my own movement system.
I add 17/16 because 1/16 = pixel, so 17/16 = 1 pixel more than a tile.
