Having trouble getting dummy eweapons to work.

eweapon icefrag = CreateDummyEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT1, 300, ghost->WeaponDamage, KS_ICEFRAG_SPRITE, KS_ICEFRAG_SOUND,EWF_UNBLOCKABLE);
SetEWeaponMovement(icefrag, EWM_THROW, 1.6, EWMF_DIE);

int IceFall(int wCounter, eweapon icefrag, int wDamage)
    {
        wCounter = (wCounter+1) % KS_ICECHUNK_FALL_WAIT;
        if(wCounter==0)
        {
            int flags = EWF_UNBLOCKABLE | EWF_SHADOW;
            eweapon e = FireEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT1, Rand(32,208), Rand(32,128), 0, 0, wDamage*2,KS_ICECHUNK_SPRITE, KS_ICECHUNK_SOUND, flags);
            SetEWeaponMovement(e, EWM_FALL, e->Y, EWMF_DIE);
            float offset = PI/4; //I think it's angular could be wrong.
            if(Rand(2)) offset=0;
            SetEWeaponDeathEffect(e, icefrag, 4, EWD_EVEN, offset);
        }
        return wCounter;
    }

All that happens is the ice falls it doesnt break like it should. It also sticks around. No allegro log errors

Did you declare another dummy eweapon later on? It might be related to this bug.

[Mero]

Yup! I just used EWD_RUN_SCRIPT instead.

Kholdstare is finished. Yey.

How are you compiling them? If you are attempting to compile each script separately, the scripts you have compiled before will be unloaded.

 

As for ghost itself the only file you need to import is "ghost.zh" and if your using old ghost scripts "ghost_legacy.zh".  ghost.zh will import all other ghost related files within the ghost_zh folder.

You also need to be sure to set up your global for ghost correctly. You can find the instructions within "AutoGhostReadme.txt"

 

 

If your having trouble compiling it all at once, try a similar setup to this...

//"ELMain.z"
//Script file import index.

//Import Main
import "std.zh"
import "string.zh"
import "ffcscript.zh"
import "stdExtra.zh"
import "ghost.zh"
import "ghost_legacy.zh"

//Import Global
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\Global\ELGlobal.zh"

//Import FFC
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\FFCScripts\ELffc.zh"

//Import Item
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\ItemScripts\ELItem.zh"

//Import Enemies
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\Enemies\Boss1.zh"
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\Enemies\Boss2.zh"
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\Enemies\HealthSap.zh"
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\Enemies\FireArm.zh"

//Import CutScene
import "Scripts\ElementalFires\CutScene\ELCutScene.zh"

If your still having troubles with the compiler you could always start a new thread and we could work it out.

I've noticed something very weird. I'm not sure why this happens, but throwing eweapons seems to be a bit buggy. I have an enemy that throws an eweapon in an arc using EWM_THROW. When Link holds up an item while an eweapon is being thrown, the eweapon continues moving straight through the air without loosing or gaining height until the hold up animation finished.

How do I combine Ghost_Zh Active with my global script?

More dummy eweapon problems.

 

Spoiler

import "std.zh"
import "string.zh"
import "ghost.zh"

ffc script TestEWeapons
{
	void run(int enemyID)
	{
		npc ghost = Ghost_InitAutoGhost(this, enemyID);
		ghost->CollDetection = false;
		
		eweapon skyseed;
		eweapon cockleburr;
		eweapon ewpn;
		
		eweapon cockle_shatter = CreateDummyEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT3, 0, 0, 13, 0, EWF_NO_COLLISION);
		SetEWeaponLifespan(cockle_shatter, EWL_TIMER, 28);
		SetEWeaponDeathEffect(cockle_shatter, EWD_VANISH, 0);
		eweapon seed_puff = CreateDummyEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT3, 0, ghost->WeaponDamage, 13, 0, EWF_UNBLOCKABLE);
		SetEWeaponLifespan(seed_puff, EWL_TIMER, 14);
		SetEWeaponDeathEffect(seed_puff, EWD_VANISH, 0);
		
		while (true)
		{
			if (Link->PressA)
			{
				cockleburr = FireEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT4, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, PI, 100, ghost->WeaponDamage, 12, 0, EWF_UNBLOCKABLE);
				SetEWeaponDeathEffect(cockleburr, cockle_shatter, 1, EWD_EVEN, 0);
			}
			
			if (Link->PressB)
			{
				skyseed = FireEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT2, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, Randf(0, PI2), 100, ghost->WeaponDamage, 12, 0, EWF_UNBLOCKABLE | EWF_SHADOW);
				SetEWeaponMovement(skyseed, EWM_THROW, Choose(-1, 3, 5, 7), EWMF_DIE);
				SetEWeaponDeathEffect(skyseed, seed_puff, 1, EWD_EVEN, 0);
			}
			
			if (Link->PressEx1)
			{
				for (int i = 1; i <= Screen->NumEWeapons(); i++)
				{
					ewpn = Screen->LoadEWeapon(i);
					
					if (ewpn->ID == EW_SCRIPT4)
					{
						KillEWeapon(ewpn);
					}
				}
			}
			
			Ghost_Waitframe(this, ghost, true, true);
		}
	}
}

 

I made this small test script. It works fine in 2.5.0. But it doesn't work in 2.5.1. Press A or B to fire an eweapon, press Ex1 to destroy the first type, second type is destroyed as soon as it lands. Both types are properly destroyed when the death effect is EWD_VANISH, but if I try to use a dummy eweapon as a death effect, both eweapons simply fail to be destroyed at all.

 

Test quest containing the above script, showcasing this problem.

[Mero]

probably has something to do with the bug you mentioned before.

[Deedee]

You should add more EWeapon Death Effects (Such as 3 fireballs, big fireball versions of all the fireball EWeapon deaths, etc), and more EWeapon Lifespans (Such as whenever the weapon dies normally by hitting a block combo/link/edge of the screen, because I don't think it does that currently).

[Saffith]

I believe the issue with dummy eweapons has to do with the bug that allowed them to move offscreen in 2.50.0. Dummy weapons are created at 0,0, which seems to be too close to the edge for EW_SCRIPTX. Move it a few pixels away from the corner, and it should work again. I'll try to adjust the limit slightly for 2.50.2.

How do I combine Ghost_Zh Active with my global script?

 

Its simple: Copy-paste the functions in the Ghost_Zh Active script into your Global script, though be sure to keep the ones in the main loop of the script in the main loop of your global script and so on.
