Hunter chase..z.z

[Covernant]

Ok now i got it to work... but... It starts normal then doubles after awhile. And it doesn't use its secondary weapon.

Everytime you create something, you have to load the model.

Everytime you create something, you have to load the model.

Atm you posted that... i already had it fixed but forgot to change the CODE.

 

Now i have a different problem... Heli won't shoot and it doubles once. Do i have to make it hostile or something?

 

EDIT: Hmm it seams that it spawns 2 helicopters z.z if they go airborne and move slightly differently then they split.

 

Changed a little

 

0724: flying_vehicle 1@ follow_and_attack_player $PLAYER_ACTOR radius 400.0

 

 

But it still doubles the heli... how can i only make 1 ...

What's with the funky if's without numbers (if 0, if 1, etc)? Even if it's a Sanny Builder thing, I think you need the if AND/OR for more than one condintional. But besides that, what is the last if checking? The opcodes that follow it are not conditional opcodes.

 

Wacho tryin' to do?

[Covernant]

Oh yeah ooops... lol

 

(Someone wrote somewhere that IFs can be random z.z)

 

But it still doubles... maybe i have some jumps false. So it loads Hunter twice... but why?

 

I have other similar codes and thay dont double.

[PLPynton]

use "end_thread" opcode at the very end of your code to ensure that it doesn't get double executed at the vfirst stage of game. you used wrong opcode if you are after "hostile" hunter that attacks (look for 0724). in your case the vfirst wait could be more than 0 (try 500 for example). it might be that your create_thread command is executed more than once.

 

you might use some kind of triggering to trigger hunter spawn- like IF something occurs (button pressed, wanted level increased or in other words some conditions are present). then release loaded models (0249) after they are no longer needed, then look for methods to check if that pilot still "lives" and if not then release it as well (01C2) same with the heli (01C3).

 

then if it works you could finally re-write your code several times to master your own technique. after all, all you have to do is practice and practice. take care.

Do these check their alive stance? lol

 

04F0=1, unknown_actor_check %1d%

04F1=1, unknown_vehicle_check %1d%

 

And woah.. Thank you.

 

Oh i have all buttons already assigned everywhere... and I'm not a combination fan.

 

Oh well.. ill look more.

 

Hmm even with end_thread it doubles. Spawns 2 Hunters.

 

Ok now the code is like this

But it still spawns 2... instead of 1.

You either created the thread twice or the code above this code is messed up.

[Covernant]

No i think i didn't create it twice ;D

 

But C'mon... that code can't be so messed that nobody knows what's wrong with it.

 

Would it help if id post my full main.scm... Maybe i have something wrong.. elsewhere.

Why did you use "Jump_if_false" after "0129: 0@ = create_actor 5 #MAFBOSS in_car 1@ driverseat"? Create_actor isn't conditional so it can't be true or false (I think)

 

Maybe it creates two hunters because because it jumps back to ":HunAtk_loop" and executes the create_car code again..

Not sure if that's the problem..

[Covernant]

Thank you both

 

Lol still doubles! ;D I'm getting an headache... and irritated... starting to chew my nails ;D

 

Everything i try either crashes san or just doesn't help...

Edited February 24, 2007 by Covernant

[PLPynton]

it was tricky because we have not seen the rest of the code. anyway the answer is short:

place always

004E: end_thread

at the end of one thread to avoid multiple executions of next thread. instead you could always place a jump but that if you want to keep this thread running without self-termination.

 

the thing is that you could miss that 'cause the previous thread has ie. some special conditions, but if you make a small mistake in IF statement (work on it a bit)... these conditions are no longer valid and it means that the code will go to the end of the thread. now if in this point there is no termanate/jump it will start to execute code of next thread thinking that it is working still on the same thread. then you have a copy, working already in the memory and then the original thread of helis and that is why you have 2 chasing you instead of 1.

[Covernant]

I tried end_thread but it still spawned 2 helis.

 

I guess ill try again

 

 

Oh nvm ... you said PLACE ALWAYS LOL... i should read more ;D

 

Ok thank you.. Will test right away.

 

YAY now this code

Will spawn hunters when wanted level 6.

 

Now i have to figure out how the release model thingy works... Tried it with like ... let's see 6 different things and nothing.

 

Basically i should be able to do that with

 

 

810F: NOT is_player $PLAYER_CHAR wanted_level > 50249: mark_modelID_as_no_longer_needed #HUNTER0249: mark_modelID_as_no_longer_needed #MAFBOSS

 

 

Am i right?

Edited February 24, 2007 by Covernant

[PLPynton]

i assume that you added end_thread just above these lines (in previous thread) and it stopped doubling.

 

somewhere here END_THREAD:HUNATK03A4: name_thread 'HunAtk':HUNATK_loop0001: wait 10000 ms....

 

in your case models are no longer needed just after you created heli and actor so it can be like:

 

...04C4: get_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR position_3D_coord_with_offset 0.0 0.0 40.0 store_to 3@ 4@ 5@00a5: create_vehicle_with_modelID #HUNTER at_3D_coord 3@ 4@ 5@ handle_as 1@0129: create_driver_in_vehicle 1@ with_pedtype 5 with_modelID #MAFBOSS handle_as 0@0249: mark_modelID_as_no_longer_needed #HUNTER0249: mark_modelID_as_no_longer_needed #MAFBOSS04BA: set_vehicle 1@ speed_to 10.0 ...

 

now you have to realize that if code for every 40 seconds of gameplay with wanted>5 creates a hunter chasing you the game can crash after about 20 minutes of gameplay. that is because there is a limit of vehicles and actors the game can handle at the same instance. you have to use 01C2,01C3 in order to get rid of the heli and its pilot (after they are marked as no longer needed they will dissapear if game requires memory place they have taken). try to find some clever solution.

Woah you've helped... a lot ;D Thank you again! ;D

 

I thought that setting

 

 

0249: mark_modelID_as_no_longer_needed #HUNTER0249: mark_modelID_as_no_longer_needed #MAFBOSS

 

 

will cancel all commands. z.z Cause the models won't be needed anymore. But instead it marks them for release. z.z

 

 

Oh god... and i erase 4 long threads cause of this release thing...

 

Yes i need help once more

 

Now i made this code

 

:HunModlwait 0 msif 0810F: not is_player $PLAYER_CHAR wanted_level > 5004D: jump_if_false @HUNATK_loop04C4: get_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR position_3D_coord_with_offset 500.0 200.0 40.0 store_to 6@ 7@ 8@00A7: set_vehicle 1@ drive_to_3D_coord 6@ 7@ 8@01c3: mark_vehicle_as_no_longer_needed 1@01c2: mark_actor_as_no_longer_needed 0@ 00A6: delete_vehicle 1@ 009B: delete_actor 0@jump @HUNATK_loop

 

 

But i need to but

 

 

if 0810F: not is_player $PLAYER_CHAR wanted_level > 5

 

 

Somewhere so it would check it when i have lost wanted lv 6. But if i but it after "if wanted level higher then 5" then it won't read cause the code wont go pass "if wanted level higher then 5".

 

Maybe i should have took something even more easier

Edited February 25, 2007 by Covernant

[PLPynton]

in your previous code after you created them you have to make some loop in your code to put something similar as you just wrote. handling 1 hunter should be easy however handling bunch of them will be quite difficult without reorganizing the whole code. make your experiments and let us know.

[Covernant]

YAY ;D

 

Now it works... well almost.. ;D

 

Hunter disappears after after lowering wanted level. And it flies away! YAY
