gani help

[davidpsy]

how do i make it so if the weapon is fired that the player gos in to a gani that i want and how do i make it so if another player thouchs the player that he gets hurt if he touchs the player while he is doing the gani please help

[Python523]

use setani to set the gani and run a sin+cos formula using hitplayer to hit the players around you

[Falcor]

Why use a whole sin-cos forumla? Distance formula would work too, and require far less effort.

just check all the players around you to see if they are in your area, and hit them if they are there. Rather then sending unneccessary actions to the server

NPC Code:

---

for(i=0;i<playerscount;i++) {

  dist = ((players[i].x+1-playerx+1)^2+(players[i].y+1-playery+1)^2)^.5;

  if(dist < 5) {

    hitobjects power,players[i].x+1,players[i].y+1;

  }

}

---

as long as there arent 100 players on the same level, you should have a problem with lag, and it would be far less error ridden than using something in a circle.

If you would like to only hit players in a certain area away from you, you could also try

if(dist in |3,5|) or so. People close to you wouldnt get hit, however people farther away would.

the blue text you must edit

What is "dist" mesured in?

[Falcor]

tiles

[davidpsy]

im not a great scripter i just need some help i dont understand this can you explain how like on the bamboo stick on graal 2001 how did they make it so when you swing the bamboo stick at someone with a gani it hurts the other player?

[Python523]

triggeraction

[Falcor]

trigger action AND a reciever in the weapon itself for the action. triggeraction alone does nothing.

you need if(actionNAME) {dostuff} or so

[davidpsy]

can you explain what each part of the code does?? like a label

[Falcor]

Stop right here, This is beyond your level, as much as I'd like to help, im afraid I cannot. Please learn more about the commands we are discussing first, or atleast concepts behind them.

Hitobjects is for default hitting players.
triggeraction is for triggereing an event (flag) on the person whom it hits.

Read into these two further, but mainly triggeraction.

[davidpsy]

oh lol i know what a triger action is like if (weaponfired)
or if(keydown==1) and i know how to loop like if(playerenters)set moo;
while(moo){

[Python523]

I'm closing this, please study more on how to effectively use these commands that have been posted and you will/should be able to do it
