Hmmm... I use ifvaror on some parts of my code and it seems to work..

[rasmus thorup]

I always forget what those, and, xor things does. Would be nice if someone could write something on the wiki, the wiki isn't very helpful right now. But ifvarand works for me when i check if a bit number is on.

[Superthijs]

Thank you guys!

I have another question: Doesn't 'ifcount' work inside an event?
I'm using this code to simulate jetpack flames, but it doesn't wait between the spawning of the flames.
After half a second, the game crashes showing the 'too many sprites spawned' message.

onevent EVENT_GAME
    ifp pjetpack
    {
        ifcount 2
        {
            espawn EXPLOSION2
            setactor[RETURN].xrepeat 16
            setactor[RETURN].yrepeat 16
            resetcount
        }
    }
endevent

I have the feeling I'm doing something wrong.
Any ideas?

[Diaz]

ifcount is an actor counter. That code should go inside the APLAYER actor code instead of EVENT_GAME.

[rasmus thorup]

You can also put a ifactor APLAYER command so only the APLAYER will spawn it. Though i am not sure if this will work because of the count thing. But i want to know

[Superthijs]

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm just overloaded with questions...
How do I make an actor shoot a projectile with another vertical angle? I've managed to make it shoot towards where the player is looking at,
but it keeps shooting at the same vertical angle. Even when the player looks up or down.

zshoot

In addition to what Hendricks said, if you know your target:

[Superthijs]

I don't have a specific target, I just want it to shoot freely.

[Superthijs]

So how do I get the player's vertical angle, just like a sector slope (e.g. 4096)?

[rasmus thorup]

Do you mean this? http://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Horiz
Someone messed up.

[sedition]

Is there a special editor for EDuke-Scripting? I´m working with Notepad++, but I was wondering if there´s a special one which works better with Con-Scripting.

[rasmus thorup]

No. that's what most of us use.

Yeah, I think that's what I need. But how do I convert the 'horiz' number to a slope value, e.g. 4096?

[rasmus thorup]

I don't know the values for horiz and zshoot. You should be able to test that yourself. Do you know how to display numbers on screen?

Subtract 100, multiply with 32 (= 4096/128).

Mapster32 and hard-code have a very good command - alignflorslope,but in con-code I must writing:

getflorzofslope sectnum x y z 
getsector[sect2].floorz z2
subvarvar z z2
divvar z 2
setsector[sect2].floorslope z

And this code works slowly with the formation of gap. Any ideas for fix it?

Second question - How can I get a level name and show this on display?

[Fox]

I don't know, what exactly alignflorslope does?

It get floor slope (like floor vertical angle) to a given value of z coordinate.
If z coordinate is changing by moving sector, my code no time to determine the exact position and the gap is obtained.

Mapster32:

Line 139, setvar: sprite structure member `statnum' is read-only.

It's not a read-only value! And I not want to set statnum = 14 manually. What can I do else?

[Diaz]

I believe there's a command called "changespritestat" which changes statnum....

[m210®]

Yeah, it's works Thx

Hi again. It there a command like espawn in mapster32.
I want add a sprite with differect x y z coordinats, picnum and other bits in mapster32 via script.
I don't understand how works insertsprite command and I think it's not what I need

It probably is what you want, but it's not documented and I have never used it. But it should be possible to insertsprite and then set it to have the coords and other things you need.

For some reason I marked insertsprite as "deprecated/do not use", so I guess I wanted people to use dupsprite instead. It will clone the sprite with the given spritenum and set the current sprite to the newly inserted sprite. Movements should then be done with bsetsprite and attribute changes with "set .xxx yyy". The a.m32 script contains an example that constructs a round or linear staircase from one stair part and a pivot sprite.

[m210®]

Ok thanks for question
Can dupsprite command insert a nullsprite (picnum = 0) with xvel,yvel,zvel = 0?
It's very important to have a zero all the bits in new sprit

[Helixhorned]

By "clone" I meant that the inserted sprite has the same values for all sprite members as the source one.

Btw, the reason I discourage insersprite is that the member values are indeterminate after insertion, since the only thing it does is to allocate a new spritenum from the list.
