Yes , you can add script directly in to an entity.txt file....

You place them between @script and @end_script

Thanx, really useful to know, plus will make adjustments to handle for future development.

[Orochi_X]

No problem!

I was digging around for an example but you ninja'd me so , umm , here it is!

Code: [Select]

anim attack1
loop 0
delay 8
bbox 30 5 27 79
offset 37 90
@script
if(frame == 0){
void self = getlocalvar("self");
if(playerkeys(getentityproperty(self, "playerindex"), 0, "movedown"))
{
    changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW5"));
}
}
@end_script
frame data/chars/mai/P12_A075
offset 35 92
delay 3

Can you place a script block inside a anim block or does it have to be either before it and/or after it and if its before it does it only work for that anim block and can you have multiple script blocks?

Sorry for bugging but I'm not actually looking into scripts at the moment (I'm sure there's resources on it), I'd just like to know plus minus how they work as i'm creating a character editor but I want to be able to add a area for scripts.

[Orochi_X]

You need to place it before the frame(s) you want it triggered on so you can either do one large script at the beginning or several smaller ones...

I almost forgot! You can also call external functions by placing them in an animationscript (the path is definable in the character header , animationscript {path} ) and then calling it with @cmd

@cmd functionname arg arg arg

These are always fired on the frame defined immediately after @cmd

I presume that after a script + anime is done its ended by a empty line to indicated to openBor that a new (script+anime) or (anime) will start.

[MatMan]

Could anyone please tell me what the default value to the "z axis" is in the attack box (ie the value used when its null).

[Orochi_X]

It defaults to their grabdistance. That defaults to 36 if not declared , if memory serves.

Cool, thanx.

[MatMan]

Is the script engine case sensitive?

[Damon Caskey]

Partially at least. I don't know if function names are case sensitive but I do know variants are.

int X != int x

How openBorStats came about was that I got tired of manually going through each Entity file and writing down the details I was looking for, to be able to create a well balanced calculation for the game, might even add a difficulty calculator but I'm thinking to far ahead cause I'll need to understand alot more of openBor as I haven't even climbed into scripting.

 I keep thinking about balance definition and it turns out whatever it is, it's different and not same per person's view. So if you want to make balanced calculation, please explain what exactly you mean by balanced.
 Difficulty calculator is even tougher. Aggresive enemies aren't always hard, if you can perform counterattack, those enemies will be defeated easily and look like an idiot.
 And moreover, difficulty is relative to players too. Players are us not the character in the mod here.

It ain't a easy thing to get done but its always possible and every really advanced game has some sort of system they work of by using the engine rules, game genre rules etc.... but its something that I won't be really doing for a long while. it was just a idea.

How does openBor calculate the Attack z Depth that is used in openBor. Lets say I set the z Depth to 40, does it measure (in a isometric view) from a point, 20 pixels in and 20 pixels out or is it more complicated than that?

[Bloodbane]

It defaults to their grabdistance. That defaults to 36 if not declared , if memory serves.

 Utunnels said it's grabdistance/3 or 36/3 for default.

 No, it's 40 pixels in and out. And it's NOT isometric.
