player flashes after a succesfully parry?

[Pierwolf]

hello everybody,

i want to make player flashes and being invincible for a couple of seconds after having parried an attack.

i already know how to make him invincible via scripts.
infact, i add this in the interested animation:

      
@cmd makeInv 210 #invincible 1 second
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif

and a makeinv.txt in the scripts folder, with this:

void makeInv(long invTime)
{
   void vSelf = getlocalvar("self");
   long iTime = openborvariant("elapsed_time");
   changeentityproperty(vSelf, "invincible", 1);
   changeentityproperty(vSelf, "invinctime", iTime + invTime);
}

i want to do like in this video, at 1:28,  you can see lancelot blocking an attack and flashing:

is it possible?

thanks in advance!

Copied from my previous files:

didblockscript data/scripts/pblock.c

Code: [Select]

void main(){
void self = getlocalvar("self");
void other = getlocalvar("attacker");
performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW10")); //change according to whatever you need
changeentityproperty(self, "aiflag", "invincible",1);
changeentityproperty(self, "aiflag", "blink",1);
changeentityproperty(self, "invinctime", openborvariant("elapsed_time")+400);

changeentityproperty(other, "nextanim", getentityproperty(other, "nextanim")+30); //stun the target a bit

}

So you need to change blink plus invincible, as well as invinctime.

so, i put didblockscript data/scripts/pblock.c in the char's header, and want it to apply in the anim follow1, so, in the pblock.c file, i changed the line "   performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1"));".

then, i've make the following anim follow1:

anim follow1
   shadowcoords 218 198

   loop   0

   move   -2
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   move   -2
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   move   -1
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   move   -1
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   move   0
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif
   @cmd makeInv   210 #invincible 1 second
   frame   data/chars/fighter/guard00.gif

but it crashes, and the ScriptLog says:

####animationscript function main#####
# data/chars/fighter/fighter.txt
########################################
void main()
{
    int frame = getlocalvar("frame");
    int animhandle = getlocalvar("animhandle");
    if(animhandle==10)
    {
        if(frame==26)
        {
            pblock();

        }
        return;
    }

}

any clues?

If you use that didhitscript, you don't need @cmd makeInv  and @cmd  pblock, just apply your follow1 animation.

ok, i've understood how it works.

thanks utunnels!
