Could turn off Link's bombs hurt link rule. Run a global script that looks for lweapon bomb blast and drops an eweapon bomb blast in the same spot with the appropriate damage set.

 

That sounds promising, but I wonder if the explosions would occur at the same time. Another possibility might be to place both an lbomb and an ebomb at the same time- but the lbomb would need to be drawn on top.

[justin]

the idea is to wait for the bomb to explode, and just drop another explosion in the exact same place. so ya, both explosions happen at the same time. one is meant to hurt enemys, one is meant to hurt link. 

 

here's the code. Set the constants. call BombBlastFlake(); in your global loop before Waitdraw();

 

totally untested.

superbombs could be added easily if you're faking those too.

const int LW_MISC_MARKED = 0;   // index to the misc array for an lweapon. value 0-15. choose something unused by other scripts.
const int BOMB_DAMAGE_TO_LINK = 0;  // the damage that Link's own bomb should hurt him. 
 
void BombBlastFake()
{
 lweapon w;
 eweapon ew;
 for (int i = Screen->NumLWeapons(); i > 0; i--)
 {
  w = Screen->LoadLWeapon(i);
  if (w->ID == LW_BOMBBLAST && w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] != 1)
  {
   w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] = 1;
   ew->X = w->X;
   ew->Y = w->Y;
   ew->Damage = BOMB_DAMAGE_TO_LINK;
  }
 }
}

Every opening brace needs a closing brace to match. It looks like you cut out the entire second half of your global script for some reason.

[Cukeman]

Huh? There seem to be the same number of left and right braces...

 

I pasted the script before waitdraw as instructed. *confused*

Oh, I didn't notice that "void BombBlastFake" bisects your entire global script. You want to not do that. That entire bit should be somewhere else, and the line "BombBlastFake();" should be in its place in the global.

global script Combined
{

    {

        while(true)
        {

   ew->X = w->X;
   ew->Y = w->Y;
   ew->Damage = BOMB_DAMAGE_TO_LINK;
  }
 }
}

like so?

[Lejes]

No, I put "BombBlastFake();" in quotation marks for a reason. Take this:

void BombBlastFake()
{
 lweapon w;
 eweapon ew;
 for (int i = Screen->NumLWeapons(); i > 0; i--)
 {
  w = Screen->LoadLWeapon(i);
  if (w->ID == LW_BOMBBLAST && w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] != 1)
  {
   w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] = 1;
   ew->X = w->X;
   ew->Y = w->Y;
   ew->Damage = BOMB_DAMAGE_TO_LINK;
  }
 }
}

Move it entirely outside the global script. Put the quoted phrase in the spot you just moved it from.

[Cukeman]

So:
 

global script Combined
{
    void run()
    {
        StartClock();
        
        while(true)
        {
            UpdateEWeapons();
            UpdateClock();
            CleanUpGhostFFCs();
            Tango_Update1();
 
 
BombBlastFake();
 
            
            Waitdraw();
            
            AutoGhost();
            Tango_Update2();
            
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}
 

void BombBlastFake()
{
 lweapon w;
 eweapon ew;
 for (int i = Screen->NumLWeapons(); i > 0; i--)
 {
  w = Screen->LoadLWeapon(i);
  if (w->ID == LW_BOMBBLAST && w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] != 1)
  {
   w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] = 1;
   ew->X = w->X;
   ew->Y = w->Y;
   ew->Damage = BOMB_DAMAGE_TO_LINK;
  }
 }
}

[Lejes]

Yes. Although now that I'm looking at it more closely...who put this global together for you? It has a completely outdated ghost.zh setup.

Thank you for your patient help. Wrapping my head around this easily frustrates me.

 

As for the global. It's an old version of Saffith's ghost.zh I know, but it's a version that I custom edited (with help). I did look at the newest ghost.zh but I couldn't see how to update it with the custom edit, so I'm still running the old one.

Edited by Cukeman, 06 April 2016 - 11:18 PM.

[Lejes]

The global you have now might still work. It's still missing the data update functions. I don't know what the "custom edit" was supposed to have been for, though.

Never mind, they're in there, just buried further in nested function calls. I still don't understand why it needed to be this way, though.

If you wanna know-

^ This is the custom edit to ghost.zh (2.3.1) that I pasted in the section labeled:

 

// |||| OTHER ||||

 

It's a mod that lets me make 32x32 enemies with custom hitboxes.

 

As for where the global framework came from, Saffith himself made it for me (to combine the current tango.zh with ghost.zh 2.3.1):

Oh, you're using a Mac. That's why your directories were different and Saffith put that together for you.

here's the code. Set the constants. call BombBlastFlake(); in your global loop before Waitdraw();

 

totally untested.

superbombs could be added easily if you're faking those too.

const int LW_MISC_MARKED = 0;   // index to the misc array for an lweapon. value 0-15. choose something unused by other scripts.
const int BOMB_DAMAGE_TO_LINK = 0;  // the damage that Link's own bomb should hurt him. 
 
void BombBlastFake()
{
 lweapon w;
 eweapon ew;
 for (int i = Screen->NumLWeapons(); i > 0; i--)
 {
  w = Screen->LoadLWeapon(i);
  if (w->ID == LW_BOMBBLAST && w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] != 1)
  {
   w->Misc[LW_MISC_MARKED] = 1;
   ew->X = w->X;
   ew->Y = w->Y;
   ew->Damage = BOMB_DAMAGE_TO_LINK;
  }
 }
}

 

So anyway, we finally got it to compile-

 

I went into the quest rules and unchecked "Link's Bombs Hurt Link", but as far as I can tell, the script doesn't do anything. Link isn't taking any damage from the blast.

 

My script file:

import "std.zh"
import "string.zh"
import "ffcscript.zh"
import "ghost.zh"
import "tango.zh"


const int BOMB_DAMAGE = 4;
const int LW_MISC_MARKED = 0;
