Enemies Jumping to platforms after you..

esn23 · Aug 1, 2018

I was wondering if i could get my enemies to come after me when i jump up on platforms and such.. Here is my example..

Im on top of the barrels, they just attack the barrels and run into them... I want them to be able to chase after me and get on barrels too.. I had a script that was supposed to do it am i using it worng...
anim walk
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
int b = getentityproperty(self, "base");
int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
int Dir = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
int Sx = 50; int Py; int PH;

if(Dir==0){
Sx = -50;
}

void Plat = checkplatformbelow(x+Sx, z, y+40);

if(Plat){
PH = getentityproperty(Plat, "grabforce");
Py = getentityproperty(Plat, "a");

if(Py+PH <= b+40 && Py >= b){
changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0);
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW8"));
}
}

thanks for all the help guys really appreciate it

Ens, please do not do this. If nobody had replied yet, it can be many things, like
- they doesn't know
- they are trying to solve
- they are just busy,

Bumping your own topic complaning that nobody had helped you won't benefict you AT ALL. In fact, makes you look bad.

Was it really necessary to say all this.. You know im not a bad person and im not trying to make myself look bad.. I was joking around

Calm down

I don't see an answer here so I'll provide what I did with my enemies to make them jump up or down platforms after me, however because of this they will jump after me if I jump over them while trying to attack me, so if you fix this I'd like to see it.

Hope it helps some, it's not perfect.

O Ilusionista · Aug 14, 2018

Ens had find a way and I asked him to post the solution here...

DJGameFreakTheIguana · Aug 14, 2018

lol, my bad then. :-X

O Ilusionista · Aug 14, 2018

Oh, not a prob. But you would need to paste here your "attack1" function

DJGameFreakTheIguana · Aug 14, 2018

You mean the script for it? If that, here it is.

Code:

void attack1(int RxMin, int RxMax, int RyMin, int RyMax, void Ani)
{// Attack interruption with range check
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void target = findtarget(self); //Get nearest player
    float x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
    float y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
    int dir = getentityproperty(self, "direction");

    if(target!=NULL()){
      float Tx = getentityproperty(target, "x");
      float Ty = getentityproperty(target, "a");
      float Disx = Tx - x;
      float Disy = Ty - y;

      if( Disx >= RxMin && Disx <= RxMax && Disy >= RyMin && Disy <= RyMax && dir == 1) // Target within range on right facing?
      {
        performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani)); //Change the animation
      } else if( Disx >= -RxMax && Disx <= -RxMin && Disy >= RyMin && Disy <= RyMax && dir == 0) // Target within range on left facing?
      {
        performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani)); //Change the animation
      }
    }
}

O Ilusionista · Aug 14, 2018

Yeah, thanks.

After rereading this thread, I need to tell that platforms in his mod uses antigrab and grabforce to define their length and height.
By comparing platform's height with jump height etc, entity can decide whether to jump on the platform or not

I've fixed the script into this:

Code:

anim   walk
   @script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
    int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
    int b = getentityproperty(self, "base");
    int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
    int Dir = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
    int Sx = 50; int Sy = 100; int Py; int PH;

    if(Dir==0){
      Sx = -50;
    }

    void Plat = checkplatformbelow(x+Sx, z, y+Sy);

    if(Plat){
      PH = getentityproperty(Plat, "grabforce");
      Py = getentityproperty(Plat, "a");
     
      if(Py+PH <= b+Sy && Py >= b){
        changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0);
        performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW8"));
      }
    }
@end_script
...

This one has higher checking range allowing the enemies to find the platform and jump on it

I gave him this animation script cause the script was still a test. If esn uses this script in multiple enemies and bosses, he should use function version of this instead

esn23 · Aug 15, 2018

Yea sorry bloodbane gave me a script and he changed two things on it.. Sorry i couldn't say something sooner.

DJGameFreakTheIguana · Aug 15, 2018

That's fine, this could be a big help with Sega Brawlers cause I settled for what I use for years. BTW, any chance I could see some platform coding with antigrab and grabforce on it, and can someone post the script function for this?

x)

O Ilusionista · Aug 15, 2018

Just set both in the platform header.

DJGameFreakTheIguana · Aug 15, 2018

Damn, I forgot those were header data. I copied this to my to do sheet, I'll try this out in a couple days, I'm on a deadline at the moment.

Miru · Aug 15, 2018

How can one also alter this so that after they jump, they soon perform an attack in mid air if the player is in range?

Bloodbane · Aug 16, 2018

Alright, I've made function version of that script:

Code:

void PlatAct(int Sx, int Sy, void Ani)
{// Checks for platform then perform animation when a platform is found
// Sx : Horizontal check distance
// Sy : Vertical check distance
// Ani : Animation to change to
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
    int y = getentityproperty(self, "a");
    int b = getentityproperty(self, "base");
    int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
    int Dir = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
    int Py; int PH;

    if(Dir==0){
      Sx = -Sx;
    }

    void Plat = checkplatformbelow(x+Sx, z, y+Sy);

    if(Plat){
      PH = getentityproperty(Plat, "grabforce");
      Py = getentityproperty(Plat, "a");
     
      if(Py+PH <= b+Sy && Py >= b){
        changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0);
        performattack(self, openborconstant(Ani));
      }
    }
}

You don't need to alter this function. All you need to do is to declare ATTACK1 function in the jump animation to attack player. DJ has posted the function in previous page

Enemies Jumping to platforms after you..
