Wall Jump without animationscript
Author: O Ilusionista

Thanks: Bloodbane and Damon Caskey.
I've made an alternative way to use Wall Jump. Following a tip by DC, I decided to use another way to make this. OpenBOR already does a great job detecting when you are blocked by walls, platform, screen edge, obstacle.
What are the benefits of this method?
- The engine already does this check (and on a better way) so there is no need to build an animationscript for that - we are making the same job twice.
- Require just one script file - it's set and go, no need to copy and paste to different animations.
- We can check (not present on this version) for the wall index, so it could be set to work in some walls and not on other ones (I will ask if WD could add the Type check support, so it will be even better).
Code:
For memory optimization, we will be using two files
Save this as wallbounce.c in your scripts folder
Now save this as wallbounce_actual.c in your scripts folder)
Usage:
Add this to your character header
onblockWscript data/scripts/wallbounce.c*
*You should call wallbounce.c and not wallbounce_actual.c ok?
Just jump against a wall (and not screenedge) and press JUMP button in the middle air. The code won't trigger if you are too close to the ground. Your character will go to the "FOLLOW40" animation. Just make sure you have this animation and that you increased the "maxfollows" parameter in your models.txt
This code use something most modders (including myself) forget about:
Want to make it work against screen edges? Use it as "onblocksscript"
Want to make it work against Obstacles? Use it as "onblockoscript "
Want to make it work against Platforms? Use it as "onblockpscript "
The same logic can be for all other "onblock" scripts.
Quite simple, huh?
