[0.28.2]Moves that still don't work properly

[Darkfire]

Ah
and so we can either make a .dat or a .lua?
and it will run either of them properly?

the way i had it was it would look for a lua file, if one didnt exist it looked for a dat file, if one didnt exist it freaks out and crashes like it does now if the dat doesnt exist

 

[Darkfire]

ah thats cool.
Is there a way in Lua to set up functions withing functions?
so we would type Textdisp(stuff) and it would read for the line seperators like it does now?

yep

function ATTACKS_ROCK_ANCIENTPOWER_ATTACKING_ANIMATION()
    if Attacks_Store == "1" then
        AnimationSequenceBegin()
            DoStatChanceAnimation(5, 0.0)
        AnimationSequenceEnd()
        Attacks_SetStore("0")
    end
end

-- the p3d stat change animation, play during attack when you are going to gain stats, in hit when the target will.
-- does not include the start and end sequence calls, so it can be chained
-- change determines what animation you get and how many particles spawn
-- negative values will produce red particles that go down
-- positive values will produce blue particles that go up
-- the amount of particles spawned is based on change, 40 * change particles will be spawned. 
-- start delay is the time in seconds it takes to start. 
-- each update tick is 0.1 seconds so times more granular than 0.1 seconds will be in effect rounded up or down to the nearest 0.1 second
function DoStatChanceAnimation(Change, startDelay)
    local T = ""
    local StartX = 0.0
    local StartY = 0.0
    local StartZ = 0.0
    local DestX = 0.0
    local DestY = 0.0
    local DestZ = 0.0
    local PX = 0.0
    local PZ = 0.0
    local Delay = 0.0
    if Change > 0 then
        T = "Textures\\Battle\\StatChange\\statUp"
        DestY = 0.8
        StartY = -0.45
    else
        T = "Textures\\Battle\\StatChange\\statDown"
        StartY = 0.8
        DestY = -0.45
        Change = Change - (Change * 2)
    end
    for i = 0, 40 * Change, 1 do
            PX = (math.random() - 0.5) * 1.5
            PZ = (math.random() - 0.5) * 1.5
            StartX = PX
            StartZ = PZ
            DestX = PX
            DestZ = PZ
            Delay = math.random() * 7.0
            AttacksSpawnMovingAnimation(StartX,StartY,StartZ,T, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, DestX, DestY, DestZ, 0.05, false, true, Delay + startDelay, 0.0)
        end
end

so i don't have to type all that out for every attack that has a stat change animation

in fact, is waiting for input is something i wrote to simplify checking for 2 kinds of waiting for input

--check to see if the player is in a text box or pokemon image
function IsWaitingForInput()
    if (TextBoxShowing == true) then
        return true
    end
    if (PokemonViewBoxShowing == true) then
        return true
    end
    return false
end

 

[DracoHouston]

its possible to make functions that arent global too like

SomeTable = {}
SomeTable["somemethod"] = function(i, j) return i + j end
local i = SomeTable.somemethod(1, 1)
Text("The result is " .. tostring(i))

would make a text box saying 'The result is 2', i think, i havent had to use it yet lol

While we are talking about this how do Achievements work currently?
same with the @Achievements command?
'@Achievements:{2}|' works
what is the point of the (optional) string. AFAIK it does nothing...

no idea, i didnt make that.

so I was just bug fixing the Leech life script
It was atempting to use decimals after dividing by half
and it fully healed my charizard
what did i do wrong?

local drain = math.ceil(Attacks_DamageDealt / 2)

was what i changed it to
I added math.ceil(...)
any reason why charizard gains 230 hp?

 

[Darkfire]

so the function Attacks_DamageDealt does not take into account doing more damage than the HP that an opponent has.....
and so Leech life dealt a ton of damaga(lvl100 charizard vs lvl 1 chickorita...)

yes, this behaviour existed in the old system too. its something that has to be changed in the engine
also, good catch
nilllzz please change that in leechlife.lua
local drain = Attacks_DamageDealt / 2
becomes what darkfire posted

Move animations aren't all finished

someone suggested we give moves placeholder animations based on type until they can all be done up. so when i was doing fire i used ember animation for all the damaging moves i scripted
