[Request] hand grenade

[Shazza Dani]

I have another request for people to ignore…

A bomb that Link "throws" instead of setting. So I need a script that makes Link throw the bomb two tiles in front of him (like the candle flame?) then it explodes instantly.

*claims* This shouldn't be too difficult.

hehehe....
Works best in 819.

I can organise the code from that to work in a more Zelda game if you want?

EDIT: I tried that quest in the newest build, then 819 and I see the items aren't working properly in the new one.

But that grenade is close to what I want. I actually want it to explode as soon as it hits the ground.

I know it won't work in the new build.
_L_ change the way item speeds work.

Explode on impact is fine yeah, I can do that.

I'm getting an error compiling it.

Make sure you have import "std.zh" in your .z file.

A suggestion:

for(int i=1;i<=Screen->NumLWeapons();i++){
Grenade = Screen->LoadLWeapon(i);
if(Grenade->ID != LW_SCRIPT1) continue;
Found = true;
}

I would write this like:


for(int i=1;i<=Screen->NumLWeapons();i++){
Grenade = Screen->LoadLWeapon(i);
if(Grenade->ID == LW_SCRIPT1) {
Found = true;
break;
}
}

So that it stops once it finds the grenade, rather than continuing to check every single lweapon on the screen (not that big of a problem, but it makes more sense this way)

Other than that, this script looks pretty good (especially since it uses the proper global-script form!)

[Joe123]

Mm, I had a reason at the time for not writing it like that. I can't remember what it was now though.

Your method of writing global scripts is definately much better :thumbsup:

[Shazza Dani]

Joe, your PM box is full.

Anyway, both scripts appear to be working perfectly now. Thanks a lot for all the help.

[Joe123]

Oops!

Not anymore.
Glad you got them working though.
