RC Plane Script

[Gunderak]

I haven't added everything id like to yet but here is the basic concept of what im making.
Feedback is appreciated
Everything is in the zip folder.

Instructions:
1: Place all image files in levels/images and ensure folder config is right.
2: Place all gani files in levels/ganis and ensure folder config is right.
3: Make a weapon named whatever and copy everything from the plane script.
3: If you want this to actually do damage to players upload the projectiles script.

Enjoy.

should probably avoid putting enabledefmovement() in the onCreated event of scripts since it could have unintended consequences if the player receives the item when their movement is intentionally disabled.

doesn't seem like there is a way to cancel out of the weapon after you use it (beyond reconnecting or adding it to yourself again)

if you're using default movement, you should use hitplayer instead of player.hearts -= .5;

does hitplayer do 0.5 damage?

[Gunderak]

is there any way to check if a projectile hits a certain x and y?

hitplayer is passed a few params, which are player ID, damage, attacker x, attacker y.

passing 0 as the ID would make it hit the own player.

[Gunderak]

is there any way of detecting projectiles at a certain x and y range?
other was il have to make the player follow this.x and this.y and male it a gani.

Shoot projectiles call onActionProjectile2 when they land/hit someone.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionProjectile2() {
  echo("Projectile landed: " @ params);
} 


Before using shoot it helps if you store the player's account or some unique identifier so you can figure out where it came from when the projectile lands in the projectile's parameters. I.e:

setshootparams("missile", player.account);

Some feedback:

Style your scripts,

PHP Code:

hideimg(1);
hideimg(2);
hideimg(3); 


should in my oppinion be

PHP Code:

hideimgs(1,3); 


for pressing the keys:
You should place the plane into a gani and use the following in your timeout

PHP Code:

for (a=0;a<4;a++) {
  if (keydown(a)) {
    this.x+=vecx(a)*0.5; //normal players speed. change the *# to any number you want the speed to be
    this.y+=vecy(a)*0.5; //same
    this.dir=k;
  }
} 


Didn´t test it but should work

[Gunderak]

iv made it a gani but how would i show a gani away from the player and make it act on projectiles? im confused completly.

The basics of your script could look like:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.on = false;
  onTimeOut();
}
function onWeaponFired() {
  if (this.on == false) { //I know there are better ways but I still prefer this one, can´t tell why
    this.on = true;
    disabledefmovement();
  }
  else if (this.on == true) {
    this.on = false;
    enabledefmovement(); //currently not sure if you can fire weapons while you are in disabledefmovement()
  }
}

function onTimeOut() {
  if (this.on == true) {
    for (a = 0; a < 4; a++) {
      if (keydown(a)) { //moving keys have been pressed
        this.plane_x += vecx(a)*0.5; //normal players speed. change the *# to any number you want the speed to be
        this.plane_y += vecy(a)*0.5; //same
        this.plane_dir = k;
        this.plane_ani = "YourAniNameHere"; //put in the flying gani name of your plane
      }
      else this.plane_ani = "YourAniNameHere"; //put in the idle gani of your plane
    }
    DrawPlane(); //starting the event DrawPlane
    settimer(0.05);
  }
}

function DrawPlane() { 
  with (findimg(1)) {   
    x = thiso.plane_x; 
    y = thiso.plane_y; 
    ani = thiso.plane_ani;
    dir = thiso.plane_dir;
    layer = 1; 
  }  
} 


Again couldn´t test it and just quick writed it so if there are any problems just tell me

[Gunderak]

i havnt had a chance to test it yet as im not homw but thanks i really apprifiate you taking time to actually write all that
