Can obstacles have more than 1hp?
- Thread starter Mr.Q!
- Start date
Usually obstacle entities accept more than 1 hp by default, currently I'm using it in the walls at the SOR3 stage 3 (the bulldozer stage).
I would need to take a look at the entity file to understand better.
+1 to what @Kratus said. Obstacle types are optimized to be extra light on CPU time - other than the "fly off screen" option, they don't have pain and death animations without adding script or using different types. They do have a normal hitpoint count though, much as you want. Must be something else interfering and killing them

I added your obstacle entity in my game (disabling all scripts) and the health works fine.
There's a chance of the obstacle's takedamage script interfering, or even player's didhit/ondoattack depending on the code you are using.

@Kratus I did what you suggested and I was still getting the problem, so I moved into all my playables and I have this script to hit obstacles and not play anything instead of the normal hitfx from players when they hit them and the problem was solved! I think you were the one who made it, you think you can check this one more time? Here it is:
Code:
#import "data/scripts/main_audio.c"
void main()
{//Play current sound stored in the "HITFX" variable
void self = getlocalvar("self");
void target = getlocalvar("damagetaker");
void atkType = getlocalvar("attacktype");
void anim = getentityproperty(self, "animationID");
void type = getentityproperty(target, "type");
void hitFx = getentityvar(self, "hitfx"+anim);
int hitC = getentityvar(self, "hitConfirm");
//PERFORM SOME CHECKS BEFORE PLAY ANY SOUND
if(!getlocalvar("blocked")){ //DIDN'T BLOCK THE HIT??
//AVOID DAMAGE ON LANDING ATTACKS
if(atkType != openborconstant("ATK_LAND") && type != openborconstant("TYPE_OBSTACLE")){
//HIT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE ONDOATTACK SCRIPT??
if(hitC != NULL()){
//IS THERE A SOUND SAVED IN A VARIABLE??
if(hitFx != NULL()){
int loop = 0;
int speed = 100;
sound(hitFx, loop, speed); //PLAY SOUND!!
setentityvar(self, "hitConfirm", NULL()); //CLEAR THE VARIABLE TO PLAY ONCE
}
}
}
//IGNORE "NOKILL" COMMAND AND DAMAGE OBSTACLES IN CASE THE LAST HIT DIDN'T KILL IT
void dead = getentityproperty(target, "animationID");
int damage = getentityproperty(target, "maxhealth");
if(type == openborconstant("TYPE_OBSTACLE") && !dead){
damageentity(target, self, damage, 1, atkType);
}
}
}@Mr.Q! Like I suspected, there's a script interfering in the obstacle damage.
I don't remember exactly the previous context but I remember that you wanted to bypass the "nokill" command in order to destroy obstacles even if this command is declared at the model header. This explains why there's a damageentity line, forcing an extra damage.
So, in this new context, I had some ideas:
1) Create a list as a filter for all the models where this script should work (or should skip);
2) Just comment the damageentity line to disable it in case you don't need to bypass the "nokill" anymore;
