VC coding problems

[BEGINit]

Hi I wanned to start this topic to get some help. So, I have a question. There is a guy in a mission who enters a car. You have to drive it somewhere. I do not tie actor to a player, becouse I want actor to stay in car. The thing is when I re-enter car ( leave - nothing, but when enter again) the guy leaves it. As he is not tied to player he does not enter the car anymore. Maybe I could get some advices and explanation, please? Thank you.

[PLPynton]

it is about that actor and keeping him inside vehicle right? try opcodes that are locking or trapping actor in vehicle.

[BEGINit]

Thats right. But maybe you know the opcode I need, couse I cant find it. There is one which keeps trapped PLAYER, but not ACTOR. I cnat find anything like locking. So, please, help me.

[PLPynton]

i do not have VC to check it but try 039E

[BEGINit]

Sorry, but its not working. It says 039E: (unknown) $6DE 1 Actor still leaves the car after re-entering it.

[PLPynton]

compiler says that?

btw. is that not the code? normally an actor ordered to board vehicle passenger seat should stay in this seat until disembark or get out conditions appear. is there any chance to link this code somehow so we can see it?

The same problem... Why it happens. I even tried not scared flag...

[PLPynton]

well ia am still working on VC copy. tomorrow i will have it. but i can see that in your code we are talking about 2 actors:

the one who is entering the vehicle and the one who didn't make it in the time and you spawn him inside. now which one steps out 1 or 2 or 1&2. and why actor2 has a pedtype 10 and actor1 has pedtype 4?

[BEGINit]

Ok at first there was only one actor which manages to enter the car, but when i noticed the problem (so the 1st does it) I decided to make another actor in car. But the second one does the same thing. Thats why there are 2 actors. Speaking about the pedtypes, well I dont know what it does and it does not do any bad things so I leave it. There was no readme about pedtypes in MB.

[BEGINit]

Hi, I'd like to ask about creating garages. I tried to a new garage type 18 for saving cars. The thing is that it does not save my cars. The garage does not have doors. I'd like to know is this the problem or doors do not have any influence?

The thing is that the gates open buut do not close and I dont know why. Maybe someone could explain?

[grovespaz]

About the actors leaving car thing.

Try setting pedtype to 19.

[BEGINit]

Still doesnt work ok I'm going to check every flang...I wonder how many flags there are....

[grovespaz]

Still doesnt work ok I'm going to check every flang...I wonder how many flags there are....

Check the VC opcode database about the pedtypes.

[BEGINit]

Heey! I found it out. I have to use opcode 0526 and the actor doesnt leave the car anymore. (yes, I tried pedtypes and it didnt work, but hey I know what I had to do). By the way, I am using BW vice builder v1.1, so 0526 is written unknown_actor $abc 1

[SteaVor]

Wow, that's great, you identified an unknown opcode, so you can name it! I've already replaced it in my INI, thanks. (might need more testing...)

[BEGINit]

Hey, I have a strange problem. In my mission you have to go to the point (Little havana), but for some reason the sphere, checkpoint appear there (and the mission starts working) if I am in other zone(not little havana). But there are no conditionals related with zonesor smth like that. I have no idea whats wrong...

Great job! Tell me though, as I've been trying to work around this for over a year, where do you put that code? After the actor is in the car? This is about the only alternative I haven't tried yet. And does it override 03E2 (make actor leave any vehicle)

 

Thanks!

Edited April 17, 2007 by ceedj

[BEGINit]

I've tested it a bit and here's what I've learned:

1. There is no difference when 0526 is used. U can use it when U create the actor (even not in a car). When he enters it he won't leave it.

2. If U use 03E2 and 0526 is used the actor WILL LEAVE the car.

But I forgot to test it when actor is tied to player...

And still it would be great if someone advised me with that area problem....

[spaceeinstein]

If you kept up with the LC mod, the problem you had was the exact problem the LC team had in Marty's missions. I managed to fix it with this:

039E: (unknown) $THE_CROOK_BANK_MANAGER 1 (this is known, ignore the unknown)

0526: unknown_actor $THE_CROOK_BANK_MANAGER 1

You can check the source code at LabelLC02B065 to see how it worked. I copied it off LabelLC02F3F9. You can also see that to see how it worked.

I have to bring a car, but when i leave it in the garage the door closes but I do not pass the mission. I dont know why. The garage type is 23 (like in Sir,yes sir) and the rectangle is a garage area. It would be great if someone helped me.

Edited April 24, 2007 by BEGINit

[PLPynton]

it closes the garage

 

0361: close_garage $1F

 

it jumps as well to

it might be there, or do not you have to wait until garage fully closed?

[BEGINit]

[PLPynton]

i misunderstood too. i was thinking it passes because you wrote that garage closed but it seems to be it closed automatically not by the opcode.

now it should pass the mission if you semicolon the lines:

 

00D6: if  18056:   NOT   player $PLAYER_CHAR  0 ()in_rectangle  449.137  340.002  465.43  326.187021C:   car_inside_garage $1F004D: jump_if_false £LOOP2

 

in other case semicolon previous car in rectangle checks. i strongly believe that one of checks does not work as expected (like onfoot/driving/stopped stuff).

 

you could put some tracer inside code like onscreen display of a global variable that gets different values in different places of the code- you will be able to monitor what is happening.

ok, so problems are with this code and I dont really know what to do. Here's the problem with the first car. Sometimes (not always) it stops not reached the point. the mafiosos dont do anything, no markers etc. The car just stops... In this case if the player destroys the car while the mafiosos inside the game crashes...

now the problem with another car... well it reaches the place everytime, markers appear but when they kill the other mafiosos they should kill me, but they dont. Instead, they return to the car and wait(like another ones do). But this time they try to kill me if i get closer (another ones dont). Again the game crashes if i try to destroy the car while they are inside.

So, please, could someone help me and explain whats wrong? Thank you very much.

[BEGINit]

It would be great if someone helped me...PLEASEEEEEE....

[PLPynton]

$8m5 aint an actor but mistake when typing right? try as well to increase "radius 1.5 1.5 3.0" because it can be too small sometimes or use distance check.
