@cmd projectile help

esn23 · Apr 8, 2016

Hey I was having a problem with the numbers and what they do.. I wanted him to shoot a rose from the this frame going directly down to the ground diagonaly from his arm like he is throwing it.

Here is a picture

Here is my code
anim jumpattack
delay 6
offset 99 189
hitflash flash3
bbox 74 80 45 77
frame data/chars/tuxedo/jmppun1-1.png
bbox 76 80 44 73
delay 10
@cmd shooter "airrose" 25 -35 0 2
frame data/chars/tuxedo/jmppun1-2.png
bbox 78 77 43 78
attack 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
delay 10
frame data/chars/tuxedo/jmppun1-1.png

can some one tell me what the number control like how would i get it to shoot the way i need it to.. If it doesnt hit the enemy it should hit the ground.

welcome!
please post shooter() function else I can't help you!

Can you check with the script you got for shooter? It seems you're not specifying it, so you're missing a few parameters from the script you called. I see 4 for shooter instead of 6. We got the projectile name already. Now, first three is for positioning the projectile, while the last three is for direction in which the projectile moves.

Example:

Code:

anim	jumpattack2
	bbox	20 6 22 60
	offset	32 65
	loop	1 10 12
	frame	data/chars/james/asd00.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd01.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd02.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd03.png
	@cmd	shooter "Power2" 15 25 0 2 -4 0
	sound	data/chars/james/beam2.wav
	frame	data/chars/james/asd04.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd05.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd06.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd07.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd08.png
	frame	data/chars/james/asd09.png
	offset	49 95
	frame	data/chars/james/jump08.png
	frame	data/chars/james/jump09.png
	frame	data/chars/james/jump10.png
	frame	data/chars/james/jump11.png

The example shows that the projectile moves going diagonal forward and downward.

I agree with White Dragon, esn. You have to post the function here so we can help you
FYI, I made two versions of shooter function, one for regular beat'm ups while the other is for 2D mods

It was the one that we used for xmen.. I just copied over the H script and library from xmen, is the function in h script or in library or in the projectile?

Here is the txt from the hscript
//Script for player's projectiles

#include "data/scripts/library/spawn.h"
#include "data/scripts/library/target.h"
#include "data/scripts/library/basic.h"

void groundkill()
{// Check altitude. If projectile is on ground, suicide!
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int x = getentityproperty(self,"x");
int z = getentityproperty(self,"z");
int y = getentityproperty(self,"a");

int H = checkhole(x,z,y-100);

if( y <= 1 && H != 1){ // On ground but not on hole?
killentity(self); //Suicide!
}
}

void groundchange(void Ani)
{// Check altitude. If projectile is on ground, change animation!
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int x = getentityproperty(self,"x");
int z = getentityproperty(self,"z");
int y = getentityproperty(self,"a");

int H = checkhole(x,z,y-100);

if( y <= 1 && H != 1){ // On ground but not on hole?
changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant(Ani));
}
}

void directorA()
{// Change Animation based on aggression
void self = getlocalvar("self");
void Aggro = getentityproperty(self, "aggression");

if(Aggro == 2 || Aggro == 6){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3"));
} else if(Aggro == -2 || Aggro == -6){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW4"));
} else if(Aggro == 4){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW5"));
} else if(Aggro == -4){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW6"));
} else if(Aggro == 1 || Aggro == 7){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW7"));
} else if(Aggro == -1 || Aggro == -7){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW8"));
} else if(Aggro == 3 || Aggro == 5){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW9"));
} else if(Aggro == -3 || Aggro == -5){
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW10"));
} else {
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
}
}

script use in projectile
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");

if (frame == 0){
changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0);
changeentityproperty(self, "speed", 0);
}

Oh esn, you could use Search function to find where shooter is typed

Anyways, here it is:

Code:

void shooter(void Shot, float dx, float dy, float Vx, float Vy)
{ // Shooting special projectile with speed control
// Shot from entity's offset
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
   void vShot;

   if (Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
     Vx = -Vx; //Reverse Vx direction to match facing
   }

   vShot = spawn01(Shot, dx, dy, 0);
   changeentityproperty(vShot, "velocity", Vx, 0, Vy);

   if(Vx < 0){                  
     changeentityproperty(vShot, "direction", 0);
   } else {
     changeentityproperty(vShot, "direction", 1);
   }

   return vShot;
}

1st parameter, Shot = Name of projectile to be shot
2nd and 3rd parameter, dx & dy = x and y distance from offset from which projectile will be shot
4th and 5th parameter, Vx & Vy = x and y velocity of the projectile

yea i messed around with those numbers a lot and could not figure out how to make it shoot diagonally it would either move down real fast and then shoot straight or it would move straight across the screen. It never would shoot diagonally down and hit the ground.

Bloodbane · Apr 11, 2016

To make projectile move diagonally, give value to the last two parameters something like:

@cmd shooter "Shot" 20 20 2 4

for diagonal forward up OR

@cmd shooter "Shot" 20 20 2 -4

for diagonal forward down

It didn't work its weird... The first one goes down just a bit and flies off the screen @cmd shooter "Shot" 20 20 2 4
the second one does the same thing but goes behind the sprites and flies off the screen this one @cmd shooter "Shot" 20 20 2 -4

I want his rose to do what akumas air fire ball does

thanks for the help though

That sounds like you accidentally use wrong function again. There has to be another shooter function in your mod which works differently

Cool that helped so in sailor moon I wanted to give each character 2 attack buttons one for punches and one for kicks. I am using the follow command for the kicks.. The problem is with the follow command alone if he hits the player the rest of the combo keeps going.. I want it to be like the normal attack button where you have to press it to keep the combo going.. I was told to use the cancel function for this but it still does the same thing.. Am I doing thiss correctly?

That's followup system not cancel system
Example of kick combo with cancel is like this:
