teleporting bug

[wrenchman82]

Hi All,

I'm currently using the following script to make an enemy boss teleport around as a special move. The boss is flying, so the y position is always 40.

@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int Screen = openborvariant("hResolution"); // Get screen width
    int Width = openborvariant("PLAYER_MAX_Z") - openborvariant("PLAYER_MIN_Z"); // Get width
    int XPos = openborvariant("xpos"); //Get screen edge's position
    int iRx = rand()%(Screen/2) + Screen/2 ;
    int iRz = rand()%(Width/2) + Width/2 ;
    int iRy = 40 ;
    if(frame==15){
      changeentityproperty(self, "position", iRx + XPos, iRz + openborvariant("PLAYER_MIN_Z"), iRy);
    }
@end_script

This works ok most of the time, but sometimes the enemy appears to teleport off the screen borders, and this results in a weird bug where it gains a Y position that is basically infinite and off map, and just stays frozen wherever it is it lands.
Any ideas? From the iRx and iRz values, that shouldn't happen I think.
Thanks

I'll need to test to make sure, but on first sight it looks OK. Probably an issue with stage interaction. We'd need to see a video example and some level text to know for certain.

Yep; you're right. I tried it on a variety of open maps and it's fine. There's one level that has a wall on one side that slightly limits the range.
Good to know I'm not losing my mind. Thanks!
