So, as the topic title said, I would like to increase the length of an enemy, from 16x16 to 16x32, with the top half(16x16) to draw-over the player, like when you put it on layer 3. I know such scripts have been lying around, but I can't find it. If it's not possible to draw the top part over Link, it doesn't matter, but I would like it to don't detect collision, though the bottom can.

Can someone point me to the script/give me the script/create the script?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Yes, I read the "Attention to all requesters" thread and I respect anyone doing this for me, since I barely request stuff, I'm quite sure I deserve to get helped.

Again, thanks in advance.

You know, I might just do this.
It's quite important really, we've needed larger enemies for larger Link for a long time now really.

We'll see.
If no-one else wants to, I'll take a stab at it.

This script is never made before??? 0_o

Anyway, thanks for the help. Indeed, I wanted larger enemies for ages, I don't know why the Dev's didn't implement it themselves.

It should only take a few lines... I think. Some feature was added not too long ago that allows one to simply change a variable to change the size of the enemy.

[Joe123]

Yah I know. That's why I offered =P

[Beefster]

Don't forget to publish it. I don't want to have to waste 5 minutes possibly writing one for myself when one already exists.

[Joe123]

Oh don't worry, I will do.
When I get round to it.
Might have some time tomorrow.

You wrote the script now? I can use this very well, sometimes, 16x16 isn't big enough to make a good character in.

[Joe123]

You wrote the script now?

You know how we just had a thread about not pressuring scripters too much and things?
Admittedly this is quite simple, but still...


Anyway,

CODE

ffc script largeenemy{
    void run(int a){
    Waitframes(4);
    npc e = Screen->LoadNPC(a);
        e->Extend = 3;
        e->TileHeight = 2;
        e->HitYOffset = 16;
    }
}

That should suffice.
D0 is the number of the enemy on the list to load.

Sure, increasing length using ->extendz sounds great, but does it really work?

[Twilight Knight]

Let's see, I should have replied here earlier...
So what the script does now, is increasing enemy's length by increasing the bottom. Is there a way to make it increase the top?
Oh, and you have to choose an enemy as you would normally do, then make a FFC, attach the script to it, put in the number of the enemy as D0. (I'm explaining it here a little, because you made it somewhat unclear.) If it's correct, the enemy will increase and use the next row of tiles in the tilelist as new bottom.

Edit: I didn't put any pressure on you with that question. It was a simple question to know if you wrote it yet, not to make you hurry.

Yes...


It increased the length from the bottom, but the hitbox should also move down to the bottom, so it should effectively be the same as increasing it from the top.

And I don't see what's unclear about "D0 is the number of the enemy on the list to load."...

[Twilight Knight]

It wasn't unclear for me, I just thought it should be explained for novice quest builders.

And I'll check that out tomorrow, because I need some rest now.

Haahahaha LMAO.! You replied seriously to that! Too funny.




....Why do my jokes at PureZC always fall on deaf ears, No internet forum could be that innocent, right?

only the 'yes...' part was in response to you =p
