Mr.Q I think I figured out why you think antiwall isn't working during Jimmy's buggy backthrow. The reason is because antiwall was set improperly in his throw animation
antiwall was set to detect wall 83 pixels behind Jimmy. I believe the pillar in the video during buggy throw is less than 83 pixels wide causing the function not to detect any wall and thus allowing Jimmy to throw Baker inside the pillar.
The solution is to set proper detection range like this:
I'm also using antiwall instead of antiwall2 to show that you can use the former to detect walls behind entity
Hmmm... that's doable however
1. I'd need to modify scripted clear enemies after boss death system to do that
2. All enemies must have retreat animation
3. They must retreat in good spot
#3 can be ignored if you don't mind enemies retreating through walls

Damon Caskey what would that be?
Bloodbane Will check all this info asap thanks man
Mr.Q! - Sorry, I walked into a bunch of problems when I arrived and didn't get a chance to dig in and see for sure.
What I think (again, can't say for certain untill I check out your text and any scripting) is it's due to enemies not falling down when dead. I noticed you have the old Double Dragon setup of enemies only dying when they are knocked down, not just out of HP.
So my guess is however you're doing that interferes with enemies being auto killed when the boss dies. It's mostly likely no big deal to fix.

Bloodbane said:
Ah that makes sense. I need to know to solution so I can fix the script too
Ahh, I did find the problem, and yes it is in your script Bloodbane. You account for pit damage, but not the other special damage types.
Code:
if(Type != openborconstant("ATK_PIT"))
{ // Not falling into a hole?
if(HP <= Damage && HP <= 1 && Knock == 0){
changeentityproperty(self, "health", 1);
}
}
}Fortunately it's easy to check for. I gave individual types to all of the engine's auto damage (before that they just used the default attack type). You just need to account for some of them in your script. They're pretty self explanatory:
ATK_BOSS_DEATH
ATK_ITEM
ATK_LIFESPAN
ATK_LOSE
ATK_TIMEOVER
ATK_PIT
Just FYI, there's no associated fall and death animations for ATK_BOSS_DEATH, so you'll need to catch the damage and manually switch to another animation to add a run or jump away effect.

As I mentioned in other thread, instead of using boss 1 command, you could use other way to kill remaining enemies with this entity:
Use it in level like this:
When the boss is defeated, he'll drop the bosser which kills remaining enemies
That should be enough, but to ensure stability, add a line in your endlevel.c into this:
HTH
Code:
name Bosser
type none
anim idle
@script
if(frame==1){
void vEntity; //Target entity placeholder.
int iEntity; //Entity enumeration holder.
int iType; //Entity type.
int iHP; //Entity HP
int iMax = openborvariant("count_entities"); //Entity count.
//Enumerate and loop through entity collection.
for(iEntity=0; iEntity<iMax; iEntity++){
vEntity = getentity(iEntity); //Get target entity from current loop.
iType = getentityproperty(vEntity, "type"); //Get target type.
iHP = getentityproperty(vEntity, "health"); //Get target health
//Enemy type?
if(iType == openborconstant("TYPE_ENEMY") && iHP > 0){
damageentity(vEntity, vEntity, 2000, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL"));
}
}
changeopenborvariant("slowmotion", 1);
}
if(frame==2){
void self = getlocalvar("self");
changeopenborvariant("slowmotion", 0);
killentity(self);
}

frame data/chars/misc/empty.gifUse it in level like this:

item bosser

{
changeopenborvariant("slowmotion", 0);
setglobalvar("zoomentity", NULL());
setglobalvar("Atap", NULL());

I finally take time to try your last 0.4d demo version and it is really excellent <3
I love the graphics, the level design, the sound and the musics
The game is really fun to play We have many moves to fight ennemies ...
I really wish to play a final version one day
- I see some layer z-index errors when we finish a level, the texts or animations are behind the level background
- On some level like the airport one, maybe you can add some little background animation with lights to make it more alive
Thanks a lot

darknior thanks for your words. I was trying to replicate the SNES game as it is, for now, so you can expect the stages to be like that, but like I said, for now. If you're getting some layer problems I dunno if it's about an older Openbor versiono r just maybe you're trying this in some other device other than PC, because I'm on the latest port and they all appear to be OK, but, when I try the same version in the Raspberry pi3 Retropie port, I get that layer thing.

Thanks a lot for your new 0.5 demo
Please can you add a real training mod in your final game, like on your video ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=14&v=QEgYrURQwVo
A level like this one, where you explain each move and ask us to release it.
Because i really don't understand how to do all your game moves.
Thanks

zanac the latest port by now 65xx or sth like that.
Bloodbane is there any way to have an endlevel item but not having to touch it as a mandatory thing to end the level? like I have this endlevel door somewhere at the end of a stage, but not jumping to its branch if I finish the stage normally by defeating everyone? I ask this because normally you have to make a choice between 2 endlevel items, but I want it like, if I get the item, ok I jump to the respective branch, but if I don't, I keep playing normally....Instead, Openbor waits for me to take the endlevel item.

Thanks a lot i will try with your video
And if you can do it, if it's not so many work, i think about : Mortal Kombat - The Chosen One
http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?topic=1871.0
I love his training mode, who show moves and let us trying many times to release them
And like in your game there are so many moves possible, it can be a good idea to help users to release them fine and without learning on PC with a video before playing.
