Multiple Taunts?

[Skull Kingz]

I kinda need some help setting up multiple taunts for a playable character. I was thinking I could start off by creating about 3 freespecials each with a different taunt.

My concern is how do I assign random taunts to the "a3" button? My guess is that script is required but my knowledge is bad in that area.

With script, but there is some premade script by others, check this link

I read that earlier today. I'm still confused unfortunately. :/

 

[O Ilusionista]

something like:

@script
    if(frame==0){
      void vSelf = getlocalvar("self");
      int r = rand()%45;

      if(r >=15){
        changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1"));
      }
    }
if(r <=-15){
        changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
      }
    }
if(r >-15 && r <15){
        changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW3"));
      }
    }
@end_script

That's not bad script Ilu but to save animations it's best to just have it like this:

anim freespecial3
@script
    if(frame==0){
      void vSelf = getlocalvar("self");
      int r = rand()%45;

      if(r >=15){
        changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1"));
      }
    }
 if(r <=-15){
        changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
      }
    }
    }
   @end_script

If value for r falls between -15 and 15, script won't do a thing and FREESPECIAL3 is perfomed.

FREESPECIAL3 is performed by pressing A3 button that is.

oh, you're right Blood, thanks

looks good, I'll be testing it soon.
Does the same thing goes for "multiple idles"? I think I want more than one stance.

no:

maxidles {max}

~Sets the maximum number of IDLEs.
~{max} is number of available IDLEs.
~Default is 1.

http://dcemulation.org/index.php5?title=OpenBORManual#Attack_types_.26_animation_limit

IDLE# (used by all entities)

~Played if there's opponent within set 'range' while in IDLE.
~# is the number of animation. Do not type # but type a number instead.
~For instance, IDLE2 has 'range 0 100'. Entity will play default IDLE when enemy is farther than 100 pixels but once an enemy is within 100 pixels, IDLE2 will be played instead.
~If there are multiple IDLE# animations, the one with lowest number has the highest priority.
~Before using this, increase the maximum number of IDLE with 'maxidles' in models.txt (see Models.txt above).
~These animation ARE NOT related to PAIN#, FALL# or DEATH# at all!
