Post subject:  Actor healing factor
Forgive me if there's already a page on this I did a search for heal, heals, and regen

how can I make a emitter that heals my character back to 100 ever time I get hit?
I know this wont keep me from dieing due to the gib wound limit.

You just remove the bits about the emission damage on the wound emitter.

OR:

Have some wounds that give positive damage and some that gives negative damage.

Ok well, there are many ways to do it, but I would just say do a simple healing script. Something like

Code:
function Create(self)
 local curdist = 200;
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
   local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
   local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
   local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
   if dist < curdist then
       curdist = dist;
       self.parent = actor;
   end
   end
end

function Update(self)
if self.parent.Health < 100 then
self.parent.Health = 100;
end
end

That's if the person fires the aemitter. It searches for the nearest actor, and keeps his health at 100 without the "regen effect".

I would need a bit more clarification on where the aemitter is to actually write a script I know will work. :3 But that's me. Also, is the aemitter attached to the guy?

I did the emission damage trick and that worked.
As for your lua script I think it would work better due to the emission damage can raise your health beyond 100 and I think it shouldn't go past it.

The aemitter would be on the actor and always going much like the coalition medic unit, but only affecting its self.


- Thank you guys for helping :D

if you correctly balance burstdamage and the actual emissiondamage (and take advantage of emissioncountlimit) there's no need to use lua; .ini code will do it just fine

Yeah but then you can't heal at a constant rate if you set emission damage to heal the burst damage.

If you had ten simultaneously inflicted wounds, they would all heal back up just as quickly as one wound.

Also you can't heal impulse damage that way.

Hence the need for a lua script instead :)
Right now the negative damage wounds work but just not exactly like I want them to.
Btw is there a solution for making a sprite animation only cycle once? its for the same project.

Post subject:  Re: Actor healing factor
look at the definitions of spriteanimmode

it's mentioned in (paradoxically) the lua docs on the wiki, but it's an .ini setting (that can be changed with lua)

also, mind's script is just as useless (more so, likely) than doing this with .ini code

I really don't see exactly why your undoubtedly shitty and terribly sprited mod needs even the slightest amount of lua

Be nice to the newbie, we all started somewhere. Lua is all the rage after all. -Duh

SpriteAnimMode

* 0 = NOANIM
* 1 = ALWAYSLOOP
* 2 = ALWAYSRANDOM
* 3 = ALWAYSPINGPONG
* 4 = LOOPWHENMOVING
* 5 = LOOPWHENOPENCLOSE
* 6 = PINGPONGOPENCLOSE

SetNextFrame

Hard-sets the frame this sprite is supposed to show, to the consecutive one after the current one. If currently the last fame is this will set it to the be the first, looping the animation.

This seems to be what I need here, the setnextframe, the modes I already figured out.
This way I can pick the frame I want it to be on.

You put it on the bullet. Not the gun. Way to follow instructions.
