ondrawscript regen

[The_Gambit]

Trying to give Wolverine a constant +1 health per second no matter what animation. I am currently trying "ondrawscript  data/scripts/regen1.c"

regen1.c

void main()
{// Spend some life
    void self = getlocalvar("self");// get caller
void MaxHP = getentitypropery(self, "maxhealth"); //get max health
    void Life = getentityproperty(self,"health"); //get health
if (Life=<MaxHP){
    changeentityproperty(self, "health", Life+1); //add health
delay 1000; // wait 1 second
}

I dont think there is a script command called delay.  I wrote this on my mobile so it might have errors i have not checked. 1000 might be too high play with the figure until u get the desired results.

void main()
{// life regen
void self = getlocalvar("self");// get caller
void Life = getentityproperty(self,"health"); //get health
Int time = openborvariant("elapsed_time"); //get current time
Int timer;

   if (timer <time){
   changeentityproperty(self, "health", Life+1); //add health
   Timer = time+1000; // wait 1000 tics
   }

Here is the code I use. Save this as healing.c and call it in ondrawscript:

void main(){
   void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
   void health = getentityproperty(self,"health"); //get health
   int time = openborvariant("elapsed_time");// get time

   if ( time % 300 == 0 && getentityproperty(self, "exists") && !getentityproperty(self, "dead"))
   {
   changeentityproperty(self, "health", health+5);//add health
   }
}

that is a very good use of the modulus operator saves having a timer check I might update some of my current scripts to use this method. " !time%300 " should work too.

 

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks. And you need to check of the entity is alive too, or the code prevents the entity to die and bugs the engine.

Thank you! That works great!

Is 'elapsed time' since game start?
What exactly does the % function mean?

 

[O Ilusionista]

"elapsed_time", - gets the elapsed time until the moment
% its the Modulo math operation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation

"time % 300 == 0 " means "everytime time divided by 300 is 0"

Careful about Elapsed Time, it is reset when a new level is started. For a script like this it doesn't matter, but if you are making a global timer or some such, you'll need to keep track of the time with variables.
