Shadowblitz16's Modding Questions

ok thankyou.

I some other questions..

where is the script that draws and determines whats is drawn in the knight and archer bomb and arrow select screen?
I have some new bombs I want to add to its functionality.

also what determines weather a knight throws a bomb material or the bomb item corresponding to that material when he presses space?
I have this problem where the knight is throwing the bunkerbomb material instead of the bunkerbomb item.

 

@Skinney I did take a look at knightHUD.as and I did a search on DrawInventoryOnHUD() function but the file that declares it, which lead me to ActorHUDStartPos.as, but I don't see why my bombs are showing up as question marks.

I also don't understand how the buttons work when you don't have the bomb. it looks like it uses a blank inventory sprite but I can't find one in the base folder.
does it just draw grey over the opaque pixels of the sprite?

ok so I got my bigger bomb to actually work.
NOTE IF SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM MAKE SURE THIS..

Code:

            {
                ShopItem@ s = addShopItem(this, "Bunker Bomb", "$bunkerbomb$", "mat_bunkerbombs", descriptions[62], false);
                AddRequirement(s.requirements, "coin", "", "Coins", cost_bunkerbombs);
            }

IS THIS,,

Code:

            {
                ShopItem@ s = addShopItem(this, "Bunker Bomb", "$bunkerbomb$", "mat_bunkerbombs", descriptions[62], true);
                AddRequirement(s.requirements, "coin", "", "Coins", cost_bunkerbombs);
            }

anyways I was rearranging my bomb order and it seems that even though I reordered the KnightLogic.as and the KnightCommon.as. cherrybombs and bombs are swapped in explosion power
here is what I mean...

Code:

//In Knightlogic.as
const string bombTypeName = bombTypeNames[bombType];
this.Tag(bombTypeName + " done activate");
if (hasItem(this, bombTypeName))
{
    if (bombType == 0)
    {
        if (getNet().isServer())
        {
            //Remember to use the item name here not the material name.
            CBlob @blob = server_CreateBlob("cherrybomb", this.getTeamNum(), this.getPosition());
            if (blob !is null)
            {
                TakeItem(this, bombTypeName);
                this.server_Pickup(blob);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_radius", 24.0f);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_damage", 1.0f);
                blob.set_f32("map_damage_radius", 12.0f);
                blob.set_f32("map_damage_ratio", 0.0f);
                blob.set_bool("map_damage_raycast", true);
                //blob.set_string("custom_explosion_sound", "/GlassBreak");
                blob.set_u8("custom_hitter", Hitters::bomb);
            }
        }
    }
    else if (bombType == 1)
    {
        if (getNet().isServer())
        {
            //Remember to use the item name here not the material name.
            CBlob @blob = server_CreateBlob("bomb", this.getTeamNum(), this.getPosition());
            if (blob !is null)
            {
                TakeItem(this, bombTypeName);
                this.server_Pickup(blob);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_radius", 48.0f);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_damage", 4.0f);
                blob.set_f32("map_damage_radius", 24.0f);
                blob.set_f32("map_damage_ratio", 0.4f);
                blob.set_bool("map_damage_raycast", true);
                //blob.set_string("custom_explosion_sound", "/GlassBreak");
                blob.set_u8("custom_hitter", Hitters::bomb);
            }
        }
    }
    else if (bombType == 2)
    {
        if (getNet().isServer())
        {
            //Remember to use the item name here not the material name.
            CBlob @blob = server_CreateBlob("bunkerbomb", this.getTeamNum(), this.getPosition());
            if (blob !is null)
            {
                TakeItem(this, bombTypeName);
                this.server_Pickup(blob);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_radius", 64.0f);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_damage", 8.0f);
                blob.set_f32("map_damage_radius", 48.0f);
                blob.set_f32("map_damage_ratio", 0.8f);
                blob.set_bool("map_damage_raycast", true);
                //blob.set_string("custom_explosion_sound", "/GlassBreak");
                blob.set_u8("custom_hitter", Hitters::bomb);
            }
        }
    }
    else if (bombType == 3)
    {
        if (getNet().isServer())
        {
            //Remember to use the item name here not the material name.
            CBlob @blob = server_CreateBlob("waterbomb", this.getTeamNum(), this.getPosition());
            if (blob !is null)
            {
                TakeItem(this, bombTypeName);
                this.server_Pickup(blob);
                blob.set_f32("map_damage_ratio", 0.0f);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_damage", 0.0f);
                blob.set_f32("explosive_radius", 92.0f);
                blob.set_bool("map_damage_raycast", false);
                blob.set_string("custom_explosion_sound", "/GlassBreak");
                blob.set_u8("custom_hitter", Hitters::water);
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
    }

    SetFirstAvailableBomb(this);
}

Code:

//In KnightCommon.as
namespace BombType
{
    enum type
    {
        cherry = 0,
        bomb,
        bunker,
        water,
        count
    };
}
//Remember to use the item name here not the material name.
const string[] bombNames = { "cherrybomb",
                            "bomb",
                            "bunkerbomb",
                             "waterbomb"
                           };

const string[] bombIcons = { "$CherryBomb$",
                            "$Bomb$",       
                            "$BunkerBomb$",
                             "$WaterBomb$"
                           };
//Remember to use the item name here not the material name.
const string[] bombTypeNames = { "mat_cherrybombs",
                                "mat_bombs",
                                "mat_bunkerbombs",
                                 "mat_waterbombs"
                               };

so I was wondering is there something else I am missing because the other bombs work fine.

--- Double Post Merged, Apr 7, 2017 ---

bump I still need this.

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 16, 2017 ---

@Skinney
I still need this I can't find where the inventory bomb selector icons are coded in.

KnightHud is not it, as it defines nothing related to the sprites.

I have added the bombs icons to BasicHelps..

Spoiler

Code:

and this is my KnightIcons


I think there is a file I do not know about that actually points to these sprites when I have them in my inventory and/or have them selected.

EDIT: also note I changed bombs to normal bombs

 

What's the actual problem at the moment? can't see bomb icons?
The bomb selection menu is made in KnightLogic.as under void onCreateInventoryMenu().
But you shouldn't need to change anything in there because it pulls the info it needs from the bomb arrays you created in KnightCommon.as.

 

the shop icons change when I buy stuff and the bomb selection menu is not working its just blank question marks.
and I did set up my knight common correctly

Code:

//common knight header

hmm seems weird, could you upload your mod in a zip folder, I'll have a quick look.

@Monkey_Feats also it seems that cherry bombs and normal bombs have their explosions mixed up

 

well for the knight icons you need to add the icons to DefaultGUI.as rather than BasicHelps.as.

 

that shouldn't matter though should it?
EDIT: ya I don't even see it add anything related to the inventory in DefaultHud.as

also class icons are not the problem

 

As for the explosions, I think you just have your values wrong.

In CherryBomb.as you have done - SetupBomb( this, bomb_fuse, 64.0f, 3.0f, 24.0f, 0.4f, true );
and in NormalBomb.as you have done - SetupBomb(this, bomb_fuse, 48.0f, 3.0f, 24.0f, 0.4f, true);

swap the 64 and the 48,

knight icons* mb

 

oh I thought that bomb damage was calculated in KnightLogic.as

EDIT: ok so I looked at the base files and no the icons are added in BasicHelps.as

 

I think basic helps is just for the help popups (Edit: No, No it isn't), plus this is how I have it working for me.

 

hmm weird my base basichelps have these lines of code..

Code:

    AddIconToken("$Bomb$", "Entities/Characters/Knight/KnightIcons.png", Vec2f(16, 32), 0);
    AddIconToken("$WaterBomb$", "Entities/Characters/Knight/KnightIcons.png", Vec2f(16, 32), 2);
    AddIconToken("$Satchel$", "Entities/Characters/Knight/KnightIcons.png", Vec2f(16, 32), 3);
    AddIconToken("$Keg$", "Entities/Characters/Knight/KnightIcons.png", Vec2f(16, 32), 4);

which looks like where it adds the inventory selector icons

I just want to add these where the game normally adds them

EDIT: also my cherry and normal bombs are still swapped even though I swapped the values in the as file

 

In your gamemode.cfg, the line space between redbarrier.as and basichelps.as is causing the problem XD. Also you'll need to fix those ticket scripts or take em out for it to work.

 

lol I'm not quite sure how to fix the ticked scripts but I will get to it later
also I will take a look at the gamemode cfg

EDIT: by problem did you mean the bomb explosion swap or the inventory selector icons not showing?
EDIT2: nvm looks like it was the icon problem! yay one bug down! thankyou.

 

I meant the icons not showing, I think by having the space there it was not loading the rest of the scripts.

In NormalBomb.as you are missing this :

Code:

void onTick( CBlob@ this )
{
    //set parent from attached blob

    if (getNet().isServer())
    {
        CBlob@ parent = this.getAttachments().getAttachedBlob("PICKUP", 0);

        if (parent !is null)
        {
            u16 oldParentID = this.get_u16("explosive_parent");
            u16 newParentID = parent.getNetworkID();

            if (oldParentID != newParentID)
            {
                this.set_u16("explosive_parent", newParentID);
                this.SetDamageOwnerPlayer( parent.getPlayer() );
                //this.Sync("explosive_parent", true); we dont need this synced
            }
        }
    }

}

 

cool that fixed the normal bombs having less knockback then cherry bombs. thankyou!

so where does it decide the archer's arrow sprite when he charges the bow?
I rearranged the ArrowType enum in archerCommon.as and it seems that it fires the correct arrow but it doesn't show the correct arrow when charging. any ideas?

 

Few things with the arrows, firstly in ArcherCommon.as, you rearranged the name arrays, but you didn't rearrange the enum type. Needs to be the same order as the others (normal = 0, fire, bomb, water)

Secondly, you'll need to add ArcherAnim.as to your mod and in it rearrange the arrow frames to the same order as before. (Lines: 68 - 71)

Lastly, since you swapped the sprites around in ArcherIcons.png, you'll need to change the frame number for them in BasicHelps.as. Although seeing as you didn't add any new arrow frames, there is no point in doing this, just delete ArcherIcons.png from your mod and use the base one.

Also while I'm here, your material default frames and inventory frames need changing in their respected cfg's.

 

Ok cool thankyou it looks shops are good besides the icon by the price do you know how to fix that?
