Boss doesn't shoot the magic

[Dyhego]

Hello everyone!

I have a problem that I can't solve at all. The Chief does not fire the magic. When I used an earlier animation it was normal, but after I changed it doesn't trigger the magic anymore.

Special and Special2 in none it fires the magic

[O Ilusionista]

I can't be wrong because I don't use the native function for that, but if I remember well, you can't declare two knife.

By the way, take a look at "native functions" at the manual, because there is a command for projectiles which has way more control, including the map of the projectile
https://dcemulation.org/index.php?title=OpenBORManual#Engine_defined_functions_.28Native_functions.29

 

[Bloodbane]

Ilu is right, we can't have 2 knives declared like that. One will be chosen if both are declared. The purpose of custknife is to choose which knife is thrown in the animation.

BTW Dyhego, have you loaded both knives?
You can load them from models.txt with load command instead of know OR simply set load ray1 and load ray2 in header. Unlike knife command, load command can be declared more than once .

 

[Dyhego]

So in fact there are two knife declared in that code that I posted, I test with a knife just declared and it didn't work.

and using either load or know in models.txt, it doesn't work.

 

[O Ilusionista]

Dyhego, try this:

At the character header:
load ray1
load ray2

At the animation you want to spawn it:
@cmd projectile 0 "ray1" 20 1 30 0 0 0

and on the other animation:
@cmd projectile 0 "ray2" 20 1 30 0 0 0

It should be spawn.

 

[Dyhego]

Got it! I put ray1 and ray2 as the enemy type and in my character in throwframe, instead of firing the magic in frame 3 (last), I put it to fire in the second frame. In addition to adding loop 1 on ray1 and ray2 that I hadn't added.

I did this and solved it !!

Thanks to everyone who helped! ;D I stayed days to fix this ... :'(
