Season of the Witch

[BeasTie]

That's the point there is no frame requirement. just add it before the frame you want it to spawn

Example -

   frame   data/chars/Media/s2-3.gif
   @cmd   spawn01 "Nameofentity" 0 0 0
   frame   data/chars/Media/s2-4.gif
   frame   data/chars/Media/s2-5.gif

To stop it you must give the entity a set lifespan

eg.

Code: [Select]

lifespan 1
Or you must kill the entity with script (Bloodbane may have an answer for this)

[Bloodbane]

 IMO due to the nature of spawned entity, it's best to set lifespan as suggested above and let it 'die' on its own.

 In fact, that's how most spawned entities should be. Summonframe and unsummonframe are best used in special spawn such as spawning helper NPC or just follower.

 Adding Beastie's post, try this:

anim freespecial2

        @cmd  spawn01 "wind" 0 0 0
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-5.gif
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-6.gif
        @cmd  spawn01 "wind" 0 0 0
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-7.gif
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-8.gif
        @cmd  spawn01 "wind" 0 0 0
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-9.gif
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-10.gif
        @cmd  spawn01 "wind" 0 0 0
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-11.gif
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-12.gif
        @cmd  spawn01 "wind" 0 0 0
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-13.gif
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-14.gif
        @cmd  spawn01 "wind" 0 0 0
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-15.gif
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-16.gif
        frame   data/chars/Media/s2-17.gif

 I know that this is not what you want but it is for showing what the script can do .
 If you do it right, you'll see media spawning wind multiple times in this animation.

Cool! I would like to see a video with BloodBane's suggestion in action, and see how different looks from the normal esn23's idea!! 

Beastie, you should post that script on the "helpful links", It will be useful for me later 

[BeasTie]

Yep I'm on it , I've uploaded it to lavalit, pending approval.  This way I have something easy to link too.

Been thinking for ages thou, we really could/should have some kind of simple script pack.  Anything that's ready to use, like these scripts of Bloodbanes.  Once people see how they're used it's as easy as using any other command.

[esn23]

hey guys here is what the life bars will look like in the game... This one is for Media

[nedflandeurse]

cool one.
good retro feeling IMO.

[maxman]

Not bad on the look of the lifebar though.

[esn23]

okay guys i managed to code my first char and im a little nervous to try her out....  Here is the char i just wanted you guys to once over it to see if you can see if i made any errors.. I tried to implement all that you said

# Do not forget to name your character.

[Die_In_Fire]

uhmm I don0t know, but at first glance I noted that your sound effects are .ogg. Obor sound effects have to be wavs (check the manual for specefications on what type of wav file).

even rarer was this:

Code: [Select]

[code]sound   data/chars/Media/electricity[b].ogg.wav[/b][/code]

[Bloodbane]

 That sounds like esn has used global text replace and accidentally replaced wav with oggs.

 Anyways, the best way to check is simply by testing it with OpenBoR. I always do this especially when my head is stuffed and can't inspect text from clear view .
 By reading logfile or playing the character (if there's no crash) I can find what's wrong/right and know what to edit/fix.

 One thing I can point out is this:

palette data/chars/Media/pal.gif

remap   data/chars/Media/pal.gif data/chars/Media/pal2.gif
remap   data/chars/Media/pal.gif data/chars/Media/pal3.gif
remap   data/chars/Media/pal.gif data/chars/Media/pal4.gif

 Do not combine palette command with remap! They work differently.
 I don't know how your remaps work but best suggestion I can give to you is to remove palette line.

[maxman]

You know what's funny, Bloodbane? I use both palette and remap for one character (Tetsuo) and it works with palette. But I don't understand they don't come along or work together well and it's not right. Mine work(s/ed) but weird in not following the rule. (I will changed one character's colors later.)

[Bloodbane]

 I don't know how engine will prioritize between those commands. OTOH palette command is not mandatory, even if we use alternatepal. Engine will pick 1st defined frame's palette for it.
