 possible scripts.dll 1.8 in the works [message #91276] |

So far, all it is is a few tiny changes that dont matter much plus some experienemts with stuff that requires moving over to the "dark side" (i.e. maknig direct calls to renegade engine to do stuff that couldnt be done before).
I cant do anything that requires sending stuff to the client and processing it on the client-side (because I havent gotten that far) or stuff that requires modifying the renegade codespace (also because I dont want to/havent gotten that far yet) but I can call functions in renegade.
And I still have work to do to make all this go with the LFDS and WFDS.
So far, changes for a possible 1.8:
1.new script, JFW_Flying_Infantry. When created, if the thing this is attatched to is a SoldierGameObj, this script calls Toggle_Fly_Mode on the SoldierGameObj which makes it able to fly if it cant and unable to fly if it can.
2.new script, JFW_Flying_Infantry_Custom. When this recieves a message, it calls Toggle_Fly_Mode on the object that its attatched to, only if its a SoldierGameObj though.
3.new script, JFW_Flying_Infantry_Zone. When entered or exited or both (settings settable by mapmaker), it calls Toggle_Fly_Mode on the thing unit that entered the zone if its a SoldierGameObj.
Credit to SK for origonally discovering that its possible to do flying infantry in renegade.
I am also working on (no promises) new functionality for a Get_Animation_Frame function which would allow you to pass -1 for the FirstFrame of the animation scripts to mean "the current frame"
Also, logic for Get_Shield_Type that would mean JFW_Invulnerable_On_Custom_3 same as JFW_Invulnerable_On_Custom_2 but without needing to pass the NormalArmour as a parameter.
Again, I stress, these are only possiblilities.
But if anyone has any suggestions (including suggestions that might use engine functionality), post them here. If they arent in this thread, they wont be in 1.8.
BTW, no, this new "engine calls" stuff doesnt mean working poke, working sounds, working text output or working stealth stuff. (although the work SK is doing should help in that area)
It does mean I can do things like retrieve more information from game data structures and such.
Ideas appreciated.

I was going to release it in a different form.
But JW didn't understand that somehow and released this.

neox: you just have to change the world box, if the world box had a curve insted of a flat top it could roll.
Jonwil you sure are making the scripts really fast. keep up the great work.

Another thing pissing me off is that he's trying to copy all the stuff I made.
Anyhow:

Just because his isnt public...

Physics/vehicleflip/etc no.
Get_Model I can probobly do, dont know for sure yet.
Swimming is a nice idea that I will look into.
As for warhead, I dont think I can do that.
But it might be possible to do a command to find out what warhead the GameObject * damager object is using (although the issue of primary/secondary weapons will cause hiccups)
Mabie I wont use my flying infantry scripts to keep SK happy (I havent decided yet) but I will certainly be doing all sort of other stuff (including the other stuff from this thread), some of which will use engine calls.
And if SK or anyone else doesnt like me using engine calls (and btw, none of the ones that I will be using will be usefull to cheaters), tough, its my dll, you dont like it, you are welcome to fork it and release your own version (as long as you comply with GPL)
as for C&R_Damaged_Transporter , thats possible.
Basicly, all infantry units would have it attatched.
Then, when the unit is damaged, if its got less than <some value passed to the scripts so you can have different values per unit> health, it will send a custom to a specified object, with the ID of the unit its attatched to as the param.
This way you can have a standard object (with a particular ID that has to be the same for each map) that goes on each map (a Daves Arrow for example) that has JFW_Teleport_Custom on it.
Then you get a per-map location instead of needing it to be hardcoded for all maps.
