I want to make a weapon so when you use it your screen shakes up and gives you mp but takes away heath.
i have the heath giving and mp getting things, and they work nicely but when i tryed to make the screen shake nothing eaven hapens

im using "setfocus" then quickly changing it a bunch to give that effect.
this is my script test:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
funtion onWeaponFired(){
setfocus(1,1);
} 


i have tryed it without clientside and it still wont work

funtion onWeaponFired(){

I believe you want:

function onWeaponFired(){

Spell 'function' right.

Anyway, I beleive you want:

PHP Code:

for (temp.i = 0; temp.i < 100; temp.i++)
{
setfocus(player.x + random(-1, 1), player.y + random(-1, 1));
sleep(0.05);
} 


If you have any questions, Ask here :]

Add a resetfocus(); at the end too...

The setFocus only works well when your screen ( or character ) isn't at the edge of the level already.

Yeah, I wish you could setfocus off the screen (like see the blackness). It would really move Graal foward towards being able to use tilelayers to have a multi-storied building effect.

I used a timer and cos, so that it gave a vertical shaking. I'll see if I can get the formula.
Nevermind, it seems I'm having that 'you don't have admin rights' problem everyone else is. So ya... can't access the scripts I had online.
Anyways it was something like:

PHP Code:

function onWeaponfired() {
  this.force=.5; // force of the initial explosion
  setTimer(0.05);
}

function onTimeout() {
  if (this.force>0) {
    this.angle=(this.angle+pi)%pi*2;
    setfocus(player.x,player.y+cos(this.angle)*this.force;
    this.force-=0.05;
    setTimer(0.05);
  } else resetfocus();
} 


I haven't actually what I just wrote though, so there may be problems.

I made something cool on versus, I'll wip it back up for you.

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponFired()
{
  this.weaponMode = !this.weaponMode;
  if (this.weaponMode)
  {
    setTimer(0.05);
  }
}
function onTimeout()
{
  if (this.weaponMode)
  {
    temp.currentAngle = (timevar2 * 5) % (2 * pi);
    tilelayers[0].x = player.x + (cos(temp.currentAngle) * 5);
    tilelayers[0].y = player.x + (cos(temp.currentAngle) * 5);

    setTimer(0.05);
  }
}

Didn't try it, should work though...

k i kept my mouth shut for a while, but what is a temp.i, and why do you add ++ to it?

temp.i is set to 0, it's just a variable

while temp.i is still less than 100, each time it loops, 1 will be added to temp.i, untill it hits 99 (since he didnt use <= ) so it will basically loop the "screen shake" 99 times.

[DustyPorViva]

It's still 100 because it starts at 0.
