onwater()

[sssssssssss]

So i have this script, and without onwater it works fine (I use it for birds), but when i put onwater in, the damn fish doesnt move period. :/

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  setCharani("armageddon-fish_bass",NULL);
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  setTimer(0.05);
  drawoverplayer();
  dontblocklocal();
  this.z = -1;
}
function move() {
  this.return = int(random(0,50));
  if(this.return > 45) {
   if (onwater(this.x+1.5,this.y+2)) {
     this.dir = this.dir + int(random(-1,1));
     if (this.dir > 3) {
       this.dir = 0;
     }
     if (this.dir < 0) {
       this.dir = 3;
     }
     this.i = this.dir;
  }
  this.dir = this.i;
  this.x += vecx(this.i) / this.speed;
  this.y += vecy(this.i) / this.speed;
 }
} 
function onTimeout() {
  checks();
  move();
  setTimer(0.05);
}

Which tileset type are you using?

[sssssssssss]

based off pics0 so i guess type 0.

Its kind of on topic, in a way now, so I'll go ahead an ask another question. Trying to find out the tile location, like 0x3AB or whatever, so I can do a movement system of sorts, but this isnt working either, tried it clientside and serverside.

PHP Code:

function OnMouseDown() {
    player.chat = tiles[mousex,mousey];
}

Move is a preexisting function :P Try renaming it.

Also, you can just do something like this:

PHP Code:

function MoveFish() {
  if (!onwater(this.x+1.5,this.y+2)) return;
  this.return = int(random(0,50));
  if(this.return > 45) {
    // stuff
  }
} 


'return' will stop the function immediately.

Also, it may be a problem with some sort of level thing... I doubt it, but try something like:
this.level.onwater(x,y);

Neither works.

Have you considered using the built-in move? I know this probably doesn't fix your current problem but just something that could benefit you down the line.

Here's a little example of what's possible:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
  showcharacter();
  setTimer(0.05);
}

function onTimeout() {
  // Move to a random location in 2 seconds.
  moveTo(random(0, 64), random(0, 64), 2);
  // Wait till movement complete
  waitfor(this, "MovementFinished");
  // Continue looping
  setTimer(0.05);
}

function moveTo(tx, ty, time) {
  // Determine Movement Deltas (Final take away Initial)
  temp.dx = tx - this.x;
  temp.dy = ty - this.y;
  // Set New Direction
  this.dir = getdir((this.x + dx) - this.x,(this.y + dy) - this.y);
  // Set Movement Animation
  setcharani("walk", "");
  // Move (The 8 at the end is so the MovementFinished event is called)
  move(temp.dx, temp.dy, time, 8);
}

function onMovementFinished() {
  setcharani("idle", "");
} 


[sssssssssss]

I was thinking of it, but was just trying to get onwater to work first. Have crabs that use that.

[DustyPorViva]

Try: onwater(this.x%64+1.5,this.y%64+2)

[sssssssssss]

Still the same. :/

Any ideas onthis?

What does it do? It should give you a number (not in hexadecimal though).

[sssssssssss]

It does nothing. No player chat or anything.

It's may be case-sensitive, try:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown() {
  player.chat = tiles[int(mousex), int(mousey)];
} 


or even

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function GraalControl.onMouseDown() {
  player.chat = tiles[int(mousex), int(mousey)];
} 


[DustyPorViva]

Floating points definitely don't matter for tiles[x,y] by the way.

[sssssssssss]

Ok, so i didnt even realize the on was cap, works fine.

Im trying to get the tile location though, and it doesnt seem thats right. How would I put player.chat to the tile location?

What do you mean by the tile location? Do you mean which tile is being displayed at a given (x,y)?

[sssssssssss]

I mean like the 0CxC39 stuff. or is the x,y good enough to do a movement sys with?

I suspected that, but I never brought it up

To get the hex codes for tiles you need to use the external editor. Open it up and lay the tiles you want, highlight them and then click the button on the top that looks like a circle with a cross in it. Graal will convert these to integers(numbers) in gscript though, hence why tiles[x,y] return numbers instead. They're all the same, though.

[sssssssssss]

so i could use tiles[x,y] the same way, if i wanted to?

Yup./

[sssssssssss]

coo, lol. thanks.


As for the onwater part of my question, is it just that it should work and its just not?

[salesman]

try onwater2() and see if makes any difference? (sorry if someone already suggested this, I didn't read the whole thread)

[sssssssssss]

I tried with 1,1 onwater2, did the same thing. :/

[salesman]

I tried your code on my server (using new tileset type, though) and it worked fine.

Just curious, are you defining this.speed anywhere? You said it works fine without the onWater() check, but I don't see this.speed set anywhere in your post. (dividing by zero is bad and would cause this not to work!)

Most likely, but like I said: Works on the birds just fine. Maybe this.speed is the reason, I will try w/o it.

or just make sure you're giving it a value, because you're not in your example.

[sssssssssss]

in my ex. i thought the onwater was in working, if its not, plz point out the problem.

My example is the entire code. So im def not, but like i said, works with the birds.

You cannot divide by zero. Your code will not work until you give this.speed a value. Well, you can, your fish just wont move anywhere =p

Thats just rude. If you want to put your foot in your mouth I'll give u rc on armageddon for a second, u look at the class, then Ill show you a bird flying around with it.

I'm just trying to help. I copied and pasted your code on my server, set this.speed to 1, and it worked fine.

I don't see why you're being so stubborn, saying that "well, it works for birds" instead of just fixing the problem I showed you? If you did set this.speed to 1, and it's still not working, then your problem might not be in the code and there is something else conflicting. With the way you've responded though, I'm getting the feeling that you haven't even tried it yet.

[cbk1994]

Sales is correct.

PHP Code:

this.x += vecx(this.i) / this.speed; 
this.y += vecy(this.i) / this.speed; 


First, you should multiply by the speed

PHP Code:

this.x += vecx(this.i) * this.speed; 
this.y += vecy(this.i) * this.speed; 


And then just set "this.speed" in the onCreated event.

I took it out, it did absolutely nothing being there.
Also, I knew you couldnt divide by zero, i was simply saying it didn't apparently matter much, because the bird works fine. Dont know how, but it does.

dunno how yours works sales, b/c mine just moves anywhere it pleases, water or not.

Add me RC on your server and I guarantee I can find 'this.speed' being defined in the birds.

Next time I won't bother trying to help you

[sssssssssss]

Lol sales, I told u I'd try taking it out. -_- Sorry i got like that, guess i read what you were saying wrong unless you were just intending to be rude, but I did clearly say i'd take it out, and I tried that.

onwater still doesnt work.

I wasn't intending to be rude, and I'm sorry if it came out that way...if onwater() still doesn't work, I have no clue what else to tell you.

I had a problem with projectile collision because I forgot to set newtilesets=true in the server options (it could be something stupid like that).

[sssssssssss]

:/ tried. probably a good thing to have true though.
