Solved Hole Altitude settings, how do they work?

[PS_VITA]

Hi,
I'm trying to change the altitude of a hole the higher the player climbs up on a stage,I have everything working except the altitude for the hole won't change.

hole 190 6300 0 0 3700 3700 5000 0
( changed via script)

hole 190 6300 0 0 3700 3700 5000 2000


I'm running openbor v3.0 build from Aug 29 2018

Even if I just create a hole from the level txt with say 500 altitude, I'm not really seeing the difference.

I meant the edited Stage 2-B which is the building where you climb up the ladder and you see the conveyor belts running in two ways. Take a look at the 2-4 edited stages for that. I think the entities could be movezblo, moveyblo, and movezblo2.

checked and those are just entities that create platforms?

Sorry I was wrong. It's not stage 5, it's stage 4.

Look at these in the character header.

I guess my new question is how can I mimic the way a player dies when falling into a hole?

By mimic I mean what does that look like in code?

edit: As in the player simply disappears and respawns if he still has a life left.

Same as DC said, the pit death is a simple attack damage (ATK_PIT) triggered at a defined Y height and does a damage equal to the remaining hp.
Once the character is falling, the height limit is a negative value.

Here's the code:

#define        PIT_DEPTH            -250

// fall into a pit
if(self->position.y < PIT_DEPTH)
{
    if(!self->takedamage)
    {
        kill_entity(self);
    }
    else
    {
        attack          = emptyattack;
        attack.dropv    = default_model_dropv;
        attack.attack_force = self->energy_state.health_current;
        attack.attack_type  = ATK_PIT;
        self->takedamage(self, &attack, 0);
    }
    return 1;
}

        attack.attack_type  = ATK_PIT;
        self->takedamage(self, &attack, 0);
    }
    return 1;
}

Thank you ,this is a good start for me to come up with a script that works similar. I will review this thread and come up with a solution.


Thanks again everyone!

edit:

I might just make an invisible entity with a large attackbox that damages all players and enemies with a large amount of power (say 2000) that keeps looping really fast.

And just continue to move it by adjusting the position as the player goes higher and higher via script.
