You can do that if you want; it's just a matter of copying and pasting. It's just easier to distribute things as files rather than snippets of text, especially as ghost.zh is up to around 6,000 lines.

Heyho

 

I didn't use use ghost.zh since Version 2.3.0. Now I need the newest Version for a script, but I can't get 2.8.0 to work:

 

 

Can anyone take a look at tgis please?

 

 

Those are my scripting files, if you need it:

http://uploaded.net/file/n92xdu3g

(I know, there's chaos in my script-file. Sorry for that...)

[Saffith]

Looks like you've got an old version of ZC. Here's the newest: https://www.dropbox....-2-50-2-win.zip

[Rastael]

It works, thx a lot! ^^

   I was trying to update my ghost.zh setup from 2.3.1 because I'm having trouble compiling Saffith's Chaser FFC script: (Error S10: Function Ghost_GetAttribute Is Undeclared)

 

   What I did was put the new ghost.zh and ghost_legacy.zh over the old files, and change this:

global script Combined
{
    void run()
    {
        //Before while
        Link->DrawXOffset = 0;
        Link->DrawYOffset = 2;
        Link->X += 0;
        Link->Y += -2;
        Game->Cheat = 4;
        StartClock();
        Tango_Start();
        
        while(true)
        {
            //Before Waitdraw
            MessageSound(I_MSGSFX,SFX_MSG_END);
            UpdateEWeapons();
            UpdateClock();
            CleanUpGhostFFCs();
            Tango_Update1();
            BombBlastFake();
            SBombBlastFake();
            
            Waitdraw();
            
            //After Waitdraw
            AutoGhost();
            Tango_Update2();
            UpdateFlowers();
              //Handles the flowers->Next stuff. 
            if(OldScreen != Game->GetCurScreen())OldScreen= Game->GetCurScreen();
              //Save what screen you're on if it changes.
            
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

to this:

 

11 -> 11

18, 19, 20 -> 18

28 -> 26

global script Combined
{
    void run()
    {
        //Before while
        Link->DrawXOffset = 0;
        Link->DrawYOffset = 2;
        Link->X += 0;
        Link->Y += -2;
        Game->Cheat = 4;
        StartGhostZH();
        Tango_Start();
        
        while(true)
        {
            //Before Waitdraw
            MessageSound(I_MSGSFX,SFX_MSG_END);
            UpdateGhostZH1();
            Tango_Update1();
            BombBlastFake();
            SBombBlastFake();
            
            Waitdraw();
            
            //After Waitdraw
            UpdateGhostZH2();
            Tango_Update2();
            UpdateFlowers();
              //Handles the flowers->Next stuff. 
            if(OldScreen != Game->GetCurScreen())OldScreen= Game->GetCurScreen();
              //Save what screen you're on if it changes.
            
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

and I got this error when I went to compile:

 

pass 1: parsing

pass 2: preprocessing

can't open input file

ghost.zh, line 152: error p01: failure to parse imported file ghost_zh/2.8/script

s.z.

 

line 152 is just a comment:

//The current screen has changed.

[Saffith]

ghost_legacy.zh is included with 2.8.0, and it's the same as the one from 2.3.1. You almost certainly don't need it, though; it's only there for compatibility with pre-2.0 scripts, which are virtually nonexistent.
Did you get the ghost_zh directory and everything in it? It's complaining because one of those files is missing. It needs to be in the ZQuest application, in the same place as other .zh files.

[Cukeman]

Ok, first off I found my hard drive- thank God, along with that old ghost_legacy.zh, so I was able to restore everything to the way it was before I changed things.

 

As to when I tried to update to the new version of ghost, the only files I added were ghost.zh and ghost_legacy.zh, I see where 2.8 is now (a folder) I'll try again. Thanks

[ywkls]

I noted today that aside from the BigEWeapon functions, ghost.zh doesn't appear to have any way to create odd-sized hitboxes for eweapons. So I tried to write my own. 

 

Here's the code.

//A function to adjust an eweapon's hitbox size.
//D0- Eweapon to adjust
//D1- HitWidth
//D2- HitHeight
//D3- HitXOffset
//D4- HitYOffset

void EWeaponSetHitbox(eweapon wpn, int HitWidth, int HitHeight, int HitXOffset, int HitYOffset){
	wpn->HitHeight = HitHeight;
	wpn->HitWidth = HitWidth;
	wpn->HitXOffset = HitXOffset;
	wpn->HitYOffset = HitYOffset;
}

And here's how I'm using it...

//This method works.

if(Link->X<Ghost_X)
    fireball = FireBigEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT1, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, DegtoRad(180),150,ghost->WeaponDamage, PHANTOON_FIREBALL,SFX_FIRE, 0,2,3);
else
    fireball = FireBigEWeapon(EW_SCRIPT1, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, DegtoRad(0),150,ghost->WeaponDamage, PHANTOON_FIREBALL,SFX_FIRE, 0,2,3);
EWeaponSetHitbox(fireball,16,34,2,8);

//This method... doesn't work.

for(i=0;i<=7;i++){
     fireball[i] = FireBigEWeapon(ghost->Weapon, 64+(i*32), 48, DegtoRad(90),100,ghost->WeaponDamage, PHANTOON_FIREBALL,SFX_FIRE, 0,2,3);
     EWeaponSetHitbox(fireball[i],16,34,2,8);
     SetEWeaponLifespan(fireball[i],EWL_TIMER, 60);
     SetEWeaponDeathEffect(fireball[i],EWD_VANISH, 0);
     Ghost_Waitframes(this,ghost,false, false,30);
}

I'm not sure why one functions and the other doesn't, since they should operate in the same way.

 

Edit: Alright, I got the second version to work by not using an array of eweapons. I've no idea why that messed it up, since I'd used a similar method with an array of npcs elsewhere in the same script, but that's ZScript for you.

This is not super important, but is there a changelog for ghost.zh? I'm not on the newest version and I'm wondering if a specific thing was changed. Currently its possible as a player to distinguish ghosted 4-way walkers from non-scripted enemies by knocking them back. Ghosted enemies kinda glitch around when knocked back. Was that fixed?

Are you doing something entirely custom with Link->Draw*Offset, such as reading it manually to do something with DrawTile?

Link->Draw*Offset doesn't actually do anything. It was meant to, but it was never finished, hence the lack of Link-Extend in the ZScript language.

[Saffith]

This is not super important, but is there a changelog for ghost.zh?

I've actually just been writing one to include with the next update. Unfortunately, I didn't keep track too well before I started using SVN for 2.7.1, so information for older versions is somewhat limited.

Can someone help me.

[Lejes]

Do you have the ghost global script in the active script slot? And the enemy type is Other? And what are enemy Misc. Attributes 11 and 12?
