Solved Projectile that does not interrupt

[Aerisetta]

Hi

I would like to create a projectile (bullet) that can hit enemies and cause damage but does not interrupt them at all (does not cause pain animation)

Any example of how to approach this?

 

[Aerisetta]

er... solved

name the attack of the bullet something else i.e. attack4

then assign to enemy headers
defense attack4 1 2

the attack does 1 damage, less than defense value of 2, therefore no pain

couldnt delete thread, but i guess it's solved unless there is an easier way out there

Oh actually, i would prefer if this bullet did not cause pain/juggle while the enemy is in fall animation, is that possible?

For projectile specific setting, it's best to add noreflect command after attackbox like this:

    attack  0 0 10 10 15 1
    noreflect 1

With this command, this attack won't interrupt attacked entity while still inflicting damage.

oooooh ok thx

Sorry to necro this thread but I would like to add something else to the projectile.

Is it possible to add a script to make make the projectile
5% chance to cause pain animation (noreflect 0)
95% does not cause pain animation (noreflect 1)

name    bullene2
type    none
health  1
speed    200
noquake 1
remove    1
nolife  1

lifespan  3
candamage    enemy obstacle
offscreenkill     50
ondoattackscript data/scripts/variable_damage.c


anim    idle
    forcedirection -1
    fastattack 1
    loop    1
    delay    3
    offset    39 55
    bbox    0 0 0 0
    hitfx    data/sounds/hitmarker2.wav
    hitflash    flash1
    attack20 22 23 35 50 10 0 0 0 0 25
    noreflect 1
    frame    data/chars/misc/bullets/bullet01.gif

anim    follow1
    fastattack 1
    loop    1
    delay    3
    offset    39 55

    hitfx    data/sounds/hitmarker2.wav
    hitflash    flash1

Question, is that some kind of "super armor" behaviour? And will the noreflect accept the damage or will it simply nullify it?

I want the damage to always apply

But I want it to only interrupt the enemy 5% of the time (this is a machine gun)

Maybe the simplest way is by randomly changing the bullet entity animation, one with noreflect 1 and other without it:

anim    idle
    forcedirection -1
    fastattack 1
    loop    1
    delay    3
    offset    39 55
    bbox    0 0 0 0
    hitfx    data/sounds/hitmarker2.wav
    hitflash    flash1
    attack20 22 23 35 50 10 0 0 0 0 25
    @cmd aniRandom openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1")
    frame    data/chars/misc/bullets/bullet01.gif

anim    follow1
    fastattack 1
    loop    1
    delay    3
    offset    39 55
    bbox    0 0 0 0
    hitfx    data/sounds/hitmarker2.wav
    hitflash    flash1
    attack20 22 23 35 50 10 0 0 0 0 25
    noreflect 1
    frame    data/chars/misc/bullets/bullet04.gif

void aniRandom(void ani)
{//Random animation changer (SOR3 LAMPS)
    void self    = getlocalvar("self");
    float iR    = rand()%50+50;
    
    if(iR >= 0 && iR < 5){changeentityproperty(self, "animation", ani);} //5% CHANCE
}
