 Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. Okay, so I wanted to make an infectious faction which is fungi-based and you guys may have heard of it.
So, some stuff which needs sparkle magic but I don't know how to make:
1) a gun which hurts enemy actors, and turn them into fungal abominations (on our side) when their health is below a certain point. I figures this is something like the FO3 Plasma Rifle, but has a wider scope (the FO3 script uses brute string recognition force when skeletonizing, due to the difference of what could be skeletonified; my faction only differs between AHumans or ACrabs) and churns out a live, fungal puppet in our team instead of a skeleton.
2) said fungal puppet could 'grow' into a different kind of fungal puppet at the cost of some gold. The trigger could be pie menu -> gold dig AI mode. I think this is by far the most confusing one, involving something akin to Darkstorm Shishi building thing (shows transformation via inert frames). I looked at the code but I couldn't figure out heads or tails out of it.
Well I think that's about it, can someone point out what script to use, what techniques to utilize, etc.?

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. I would like to see this. It'd be great if you could have some sort of parasitic fungi that eventually takes over the map.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. There's a Lua tutorial stickied in this subforum. Techniques you can use to "replace" actors is to delete the actor that was hit and spawn the fungal actor in the same position. Both of the things you need are fairly easy to script, so you should give it a try yourself and post back what you got.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. CC48: Well, I would rather gib the offending actor, but I'll see if I could make the first one. I am still confused about how to deploy the sprite animation for the second... and also, can one flip the HFlip of a whole string of sprites?

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. If your animated particle is an MOSRotating, then yes. I would deploy the MOSRotating after the target is gibbed, and then activate the main Lua once the MOSRotating gets to Frame X.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. Well, you seem to get some stuff wrong, I mean the first article is to spawn one of ours from the exploding gibs of an emeny actor, and the second article is to upgrade the fungi warrior into another, more deadly fungi warrior. Thanks for the tips though, I'll see if I can write an initial script and post it here for you guys to fix.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. OK, here's a broken script for the actor spawning thingy, tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it. Code: function Create(self)
self.FoundTarget = false;
self.Target = nil;
self.Spawned = false;
self.HurtTarget = false;
self.Teamset = nil;
self.Teammate = nil;
local curdist = 35;
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.Teammate = actor;
self.Teamset = actor.Team;
end
end
function Update(self)
if self.FoundTarget == true then
if self.Spawned == false then
if self.Target.Health < 20 then
if self.Target.ClassName == "AHuman" then
self.Target:GibThis();
--self.SpawnA = CreateAHuman("humanoid");
self.SpawnA = CreateAHuman("Dummy");
self.SpawnA.Pos = self.Target.Pos;
self.SpawnA.Team = self.Teamset;
self.SpawnA.Health = 100;
self.SpawnA.RotAngle = self.Target.RotAngle;
if self.Target.HFlipped == true then
self.SpawnA.HFlipped = true
MovableMan:AddActor(self.SpawnA);
self.Spawned = true;
break;
else
MovableMan:AddActor(self.SpawnA);
self.Spawned = true;
break;
end
else
if self.Target.ClassName == "ACrab" then
self.Target:GibThis();
--self.SpawnB = CreateACrab("craboid");
self.SpawnB = CreateACrab("Dreadnought");
self.SpawnB.Pos = self.Target.Pos;
self.SpawnB.Team = self.Teamset;
self.SpawnB.Health = 100;
self.SpawnB.RotAngle = self.Target.RotAngle;
if self.Target.HFlipped == true then
self.Spawn.HFlipped = true
MovableMan:AddActor(self.SpawnB);
self.Spawned = true;
break;
else
MovableMan:AddActor(self.SpawnB);
self.Spawned = true;
break;
end
else
self.Target:GibThis();
end
end
else
if self.HurtTarget == false then
self.Target.Health = self.Target.Health - 10;
self.HurtTarget = true;
end
end
else
local curdist = 35;
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.Target = actor;
self.FoundTarget = true;
end
end
end
end For the record, this is based off the FO3 Plasma Rifle's script, and attached to a particle which gibbed from the round a gun is firing. So the .ini similar to the SET electro rifle.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. You'er missing 2 "end"s. The first one is in the Create() function, and need to close "if dist < curdist then". I'm still trying to find the location for the second end, should go somewhere in the Update() function.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. FTHAGN. I tried and it didn't work. I don't know what's wrong. Here, have a gander at the .rte.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. You have breaks where they are not needed. You only use breaks to end a "for" statement.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. Dammit, it won't work. I know it must be the Lua since the .rte loads gracefully. What the heck is wrong with my script?!? Any of the Lua-experienced, help me on this one...

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. Open up the console with ~ and see if there's any errors there.

Re: Some questions regarding an upcoming mod. There's nothing on the console that indicates anything's wrong with Cordyc.rte. It just duds.
