I'm not sure if I broke something or what, but when I try to compile a simple boss I made, it doesn't work. Here's the script:

CODE

const int SLM_BALL = 87; //The slime projectile that shoots to create more slimes.
const int SLM_COMBO = 416; //Slime combo
const int SLM_SOUND = 62; //Sound when the slime shoots a smaller slime
const int SLM_ZOL = 178; //ID of the Zol to spawn
const int SLM_BIGSHADOW = 421; //Combo for big shadows.
const int SLM_SHADOW = 420; //Combo for small shadows.
const int SLM_EXPLODE = 63; //Sound when slime explodes.

ffc script slime

I get a whole whack of errors, saying that various functions aren't declared. (IsWater, IsPit, Round, CenterX, CenterY as a few examples) Now, if memory serves, there's something in here that's absolute in my script. I did add the flags bit to the fire EWeapon thing, though I don't think I did it right. Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated. With the added shadows, I decided to fix it up and once that's done, I'll release it for public use.

[Saffith]

You need a newer version of std.zh.

[SpacemanDan]

Aha. Thank you. I'm getting problems again with other things, but it's because I wrote things wrong, so I'll be able to figure it out.

Using build 1343 and using the minium global script. I'm a novice scripter and the questionable use of whitespace is due to being copypasted from ZSPad.

Edit: and one more thing: this script is only built for functionality (No shadows, no dragon actually overhead, no death animation, ect).

Edited by Orin XD, 30 December 2010 - 05:49 PM.

[Saffith]

It disappears because the npc pointer is invalid. You never actually initialized it; you've got to use one of the GhostInit methods to set up the enemy first.

[Orithan]

I was wondering when you would get back to me.

I did what you said, I used the same init that Iflyte uses; ghost=GhostInitWait (ffc this, int enemyIndex, bool useEnemyPos), and it solved the problem of it dissappearing, but it dies instantly (I know that it did because it doesn't return, unlike the previous problem).

The updated script, now including a death animation.

CODE

ffc script RdD {

void run() {

npc ghost;



SetHP(this, ghost, ghost->HP+1000);

ghost=GhostInitWait(this, 1, false);

I looked through Allergo.log and it gives me this:

CODE

Invalid NPC with UID 0 passed to npc->HP
NPCs on screen have UIDs
Invalid NPC with UID 0 passed to npc->HP

36.0000[/size][size="1"]

Is there something am I still missing?

[Saffith]

Switch GhostInitWait() and SetHP(). The initialization has to come before anything else that uses the ghost.
You also need to change the arguments to Transform(); if you don't want to change its size, use -1, not 0.

[Orithan]

Thanks! That removed one big hurdle, I can now actually kill it by attacking, but I have another problem:

It can now fly left and right across the screen and it can land, but only for a single frame and won't attack (read the comments I put in for more depth). Any global varables that would go undeclared here are declared outside the script.

You've got time variables, but you're never actually doing anything with them. You probably want to use it as an argument to RdDWaitframe() to tell it to wait that many frames.

[Orithan]

Thanks! Now that I argumented the RdD Waitframe, the standing part now works correctly, but It still won't fire.

What do I need now?

[Saffith]

You either need an outer for loop in Firing() where you can initialize and increment time, or you need to remove the conditional. Time is never changed from 0, so the condition is always false.

Edited by Saffith, 12 January 2011 - 10:12 AM.

[Orithan]

Thanks, I removed the timed conditional and it worked perfectly

[SpacemanDan]

Messing around with this again to make a boss. Damn I love this thing. XD

Anyway, I'm using the weapon death effect that shoots more weapons from it. It works all fine and dandy in other scripts using it, but for some reason in my boss script, when it splits, the sprites are of swords. There doesn't seem to be any arguments for me to tweak in the setting of the death effect to change the sprite, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the boss code thus far. It's not commented well right now and a little disorganized, but hopefully you'll be able to see what I did wrong.

The section I'm talking about specifically is in the 3rd state of the boss, or within the if(state==2) area.

EDIT: Also, disregard the comment about what state 2 actually does; I decided to change it and use my original plan for something else.

EDIT: I derped. Badly. Forget this post. After rereading the documentation I see what I was doing wrong. Wow. DX

Say, would it be a big deal if I switched all the ffc->Misc[] stuff to npc->Misc[]? I want to add a flag that has to go on the npc anyway, and I think it makes more sense to leave this->Misc[] free for the script to use. It shouldn't require any changes to most scripts, and trivial ones for the rest, but I hate to go and break stuff without at least asking.

Doesn't sound like anything too major to fix anyway. Just a simple find and replace if I'm getting this right. :3

I say, if it makes it easier for the user to create with it and makes it more flexible, go for it.
