Is it possible to add a trail of damaging Sparkle Sprites to the Sword Beam?
Sparkle Sprite Numbers should be variables

...variable sfx for the beam sound would be funny too, but it's not nessessary.

 

  

Thanks

Still waiting for help

If you want this for 2.55, it is an easy weapon script.

 

Might work on it for you. I haven't closely followed threads of late, other than posting updates, and addressing bug reports.

[Bagu]

Thanks for your reply. 

It would be perfect as an LWeapon or Spritescript.
Yeah, I'm using 2.55 (Alpha 47)

Current version is 74, not 47: 75/76 is on its way, too.  I'll have a look and see what I can make, but only for a current build.

I'm using 2.55 74 since a few days
...I LOVE IT 

The portrait function, in the string editor is fantastic!

Try this:
 
 

lweapon script damagingtrail
{
	const int DAMAGETRAILDEFAULTCLK	 = 30;
	void run(int n)
	{
		if ( n < 1 ) n = DAMAGETRAILDEFAULTCLK;
		int clk;
		while(this->isValid())
		{
			++clk;
			if ( clk >= n )
			{
				lweapon spk = Game->CreteLWeapon(LW_SPARKLE);
				spk->X = this->X;
				spk->Y = this->Y;
				spk->Parent = this;
				clk = 0;
			}
			Waitdraw();
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

Try this:
 
 

lweapon script damagingtrail
{
	const int DAMAGETRAILDEFAULTCLK	 = 30;
	void run(int n)
	{
		if ( n < 1 ) n = DAMAGETRAILDEFAULTCLK;
		int clk;
		while(this->isValid())
		{
			++clk;
			if ( clk >= n )
			{
				lweapon spk = Game->CreteLWeapon(LW_SPARKLE);
				spk->X = this->X;
				spk->Y = this->Y;
				spk->Parent = this;
				clk = 0;
			}
			Waitdraw();
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

Thank you, very much!!!
I gonna check it out, right now

Problems with compiling
...report says:

ERROR T21: FUNCTION GAME->CREATELWEAPON CONST FLOAT HAS NOT BEEN DECLARED
ERROR T9: VARIABLE SPK HAS NOT BEEN DECLARED

That should be 'Screen->CreateLWeapon()'

[Bagu]

That should be 'Screen->CreateLWeapon()'

I fixed that line

lweapon script damagingtrail
{
	const int DAMAGETRAILDEFAULTCLK	 = 30;
	void run(int n)
	{
		if ( n < 1 ) n = DAMAGETRAILDEFAULTCLK;
		int clk;
		while(this->isValid())
		{
			++clk;
			if ( clk >= n )
			{
				lweapon spk = Screen->CreateLWeapon(LW_SPARKLE);
				spk->X = this->X;
				spk->Y = this->Y;
				spk->Parent = this;
				clk = 0;
			}
			Waitdraw();
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

But now I got following error report:
LINE 16 @ COLUMNS 5-23 - ERROR T017: CANNOT CAST FROM CONST LWEAPON TO FLOAT

uhg, zoria....

Remove the 'this->Parent = this;' line. That's.... just completely wrong, and not something you can do.

[Bagu]

Without this line, compiling was successful, but I guess I need an altern line, to complete the script.
Seems to do nothing, by now

[Emily]

ah, nothing is setting the sprite, or damage of the sparkles.

So, they're there, just invisible, and don't do damage.

 

Change 'void run(int n)' to 'void run(int n, int dmg, int sprite)'

Add 'spk->Damage = dmg;'

Add 'spk->UseSprite(sprite)'

 

Supply a damage amount and a sprite (Weapons/Misc ID #) to InitD[1] and InitD[2]

[Bagu]

Thank you
...I'll try that now
Where exactly should I add the 'spk->Damage = dmg;'
and 'spk->UseSprite(sprite)' lines?

[Emily]

right where the other 'spk->' lines are
