Training Lessons

I have the idea of ​​doing a lesson-based training. In order to advance to the next lesson you must fulfill a goal. Like they had some fighting games in training.
To make this possible, I think you would need a script that gives the enemy immunity to all attack animations, except one that we can specify.
I need this script to give the enemy immunity against attack animations and not against certain attacks, since there are many animations that share the same type of attack.
So this way the lesson only can advance when you connect the attack animation.

I don't think you need to set an immunity to all the other attacks. You can use a variable for that on a didhitscript.
If that move hits, triggers an variable and then you do your logic.

I was thinking of this myself. It's a tedious concept though. Technically very easy to do, but just a lot of tracking to put up with.

To work it like you describe is where the doattack event comes into play. You can use it to make entities react however you feel like, or not at all, to an incoming hit.

Honestly you'd probably find it easier to just record what happened, heal the target, and tell the player they failed. You'll find this simpler to code than making them invincible to everything else.

Example:

Lesson 1 - Use Scorpions Spear Whip.

- Player uses a jump kick. The target takes damage normally, and you record the move they used on impact. Your script heals the target and looks for the specific move animation player used, which obviously it isn't there. FAIL! Try again!

- "Get over here!" Same as above, except SUCCESS and on to next lesson.

Thanks both my friends!

Apparently the solution of Damon is the most suitable for me, but the problem is that I have no knowledge about the "doattack". I was looking for information on this, but there are only cases where they talk about their properties, but there is no manual to start from the beginning.
So it's not easy for me.

So 'doattack' is not on the manual (I´ve cheked right now and its not documented)? I will search for infomation and add it once I can.

Engine confirms an attack hit. Runs on both Attacker AND Defender (Defender is called first, then Attacker). Takes place after engine performs hit confirmation, but before hit handling (pain, blocking, etc.) takes place. By setting variant lasthitc to 0, you can cancel engine's hit handling.
self: Caller.
other: When called on attacker, this recipient of attack. When called on defender, this is the attacker.
damage: attack damage.
drop: knockdown power.
attacktype: attack type, see 'openborconstant'.
noblock: block break force of attack.
guardcost: Guardcost of attack.
jugglecost: Jugglecost of attack.
pauseadd: Pause value of attack.
which:
    0 = Caller is defender.
    1 = Caller is attacker.

attackid: Current attack ID.

How to modify lasthitc? is that openbor variant or local variable?

Correct. Here's the detail:

[list type=decimal]
[*]Collision system detects a hit.
[*]lasthitc is set to TRUE.
[*]doattack event fires (owner of body box).
[*]doattack event fires (owner of attack box).
[*]
  • If lasthitc is TRUE, engine's default hit reaction (pain, blocking, damage, etc.) runs.
  • If lasthitc is FALSE, engine's default hit reaction is skipped. In game terms it's like the hit never happens - attack just passes through target.

[/list]

So looking at that, you can see how doattack would allow you to customize what happens on a hit. You would set lasthitc to false in one of the doattack scripts based on whatever conditions suit your purpose, and then script your own reactions (if any) in its place.

HTH,

Hmmm... will the enemy play PAIN animation if attacked with incorrect
[/quote]

The behavior of the enemy will be normal. So if you connect the wrong attack, the enemy receives the attack normally, but everything should be restarted.
Example: On the screen, you will find the text LESSON 10 "Mortal Grab - press down, up, ATK (during Grab)".
So no matter what you do, if you connect any attack, Grab or special other than the one that you specific, everything should be restarted. In other words, the hero and the enemy return to the position of when each lesson begins.
If you can connect the "Mortal Grab", when the animation ends, the text "Perfect" appears, then the 2 characters re-start their position. Next begins the lesson 11 and the text LESSON 11 appear with the new move.
And so on until you finish all the lessons.
That would be my idea of this new training  ...

dante, that system you want is kinda complex, I won't be able to describe all of it right now
However, I can share you this takedamagescript:
Code: 
void main()
{// Deny damage if attacked with wrong animation
    void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
    int HP = getentityproperty(self, "health");
    void target = getentityproperty(self,"opponent");
    void TAnim = getentityproperty(target, "animationID");
    int Damage = getlocalvar("damage"); //Get received damage
    int Code = getindexedvar(2);

    if(Code==NULL()){
      Code = 0;
    }

    void LAnim = Lesson(Code);

    if(TAnim != LAnim){
      changeentityproperty(self, "health", HP + Damage);
    } else {
      setindexedvar(2, Code+1);
    }
}

void Lesson(int Code)
{// Selects animation constant based on defined code
    void Anim;

    if(Code>=3){
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_RUNATTACK");
    } else if(Code==2){
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_GRABATTACK2");
    } else if(Code==1){
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_GRABATTACK");
    } else {
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_JUMPATTACK");
    }

    return Anim;
}

This script will deny damage taken by the entity if the attacker attacks with improper animation. This script also increments counter stored in indexed variable 2 (can be changed) if received attack is correct
This indexed variable should be linked with other entities such as position resetter and dialogue display

I have some questions Bloodbane, about how work this script.

First save your script in the file lessons.c in the scripts folder.
Then add the line in the enemy header txt "takedamagescrip data/scripts/leesons.c"
And here begins my doubts:
I guess I should call the script in an animation of the enemy, so the ...
Code: 
anim pain
	loop	0
	delay	6
	offset	84 175
	bbox	61 77 38 99
      @cmd  Lesson (???)
	sound   data/sounds/m5pain.wav
	frame	data/chars/bd2/pain.png
	offset  80 175
	frame	data/chars/bd2/pain.png
	offset  84 175
	delay   45
	frame	data/chars/bd2/pain.png

void Lesson(int Code)  <-I do not understand exactly what I should put here.
If I understood correctly, I should put the allowed animations inside the script.
Code: 
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_RUNATTACK");
    } else if(Code==2){
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_GRABATTACK2");
    } else if(Code==1){
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_GRABATTACK");
    } else {
      Anim = openborconstant("ANI_JUMPATTACK");
So here I only can use 1, 2, or 3?
Example:  @cmd  Lesson 2  > Just a single number, you can enter it, right?

But if I need to use many animations, should I add them all to the script, then select them by the number?


And about this, I did not understand much how it works:
This script also increments counter stored in indexed variable 2 (can be changed) if received attack is correct
This indexed variable should be linked with other entities such as position resetter and dialogue display
Click to expand...

Perhaps an example would be very useful to understand better.
Thank you!

Here's a rough mod to set this lesson script:

Still open for modification but at least the basics are there :)

Thanks my friend!

You are my savior like always!
I'm going to check it right now.  ;D

After some test, I found some problems when adding this in my mod:

1) The main problem is when the training start, all the dialogue lesson begin to pass one another until I finish, without my having taken a single blow.

2) In my endlevel.c, I need add the lines of your enlevel.c
So this is ok?
Code: 
#include "data/scripts/story/story_clear.c"

void main()
{
   clearStory();
   setdrawmethod(NULL(),0,256,256,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,NULL());
    setindexedvar(0, NULL());
    setindexedvar(1, NULL());
}

And here some doubts:
- If I execute a fatality on the enemy at the wrong time, how do I reset the positions and disappear all the remains of the fatality?
- If I execute a fatality on the enemy at the correct time, how do I go to the next lesson, reset the positions and disappear all the remains of the fatality?
