Enemy Generator

[C-Dawg]

Here ya be. Havn't even really tested it yet, just coded it over a doughnut this morning. Once it's verified to work, we can put it over in the showcase forum.

// =======================================================
// ENEMY SPAWNER - This script is used to spawn enemies.  The FFC running
// the script will continue to spawn a particular kind of enemy at regular intervals
// until there are too many on the screen, or the combo used by the spawner changes.
//
// D0 = enemy_id = The enemy to be spawned.  Check the table in std.zh to get values.
// D1 = delay = The delay, in tics, between enemy spawns.
// D2 = max = The maximum number of enemies that the spawner will put on the screen.  
// ======================================================


ffc script enemyspawner{

	void run(int enemy_id, int delay, int max){	
						

		int original_combo = this->Data;	// Saves the original combo of this FFC.

		int counter = delay;			// Used to count the tics until it is time to spawn.

		while(true){
			// Checks whether the combo for this FFC has changed, or whether there are 
			// a maximum number of NPCs on the screen.
			if ( (this->Data = original combo) && (Screen->NumNPCs() < max) ){

				// If max tics have gone by since the last time a spawn took place, spawn.
				if ( counter = 0 ){
					npc spawnee = Screen->CreateNPC(enemy_id);
					spawnee->X = this->X;
					spawnee->Y = this->Y;
					counter = delay;
				}
				else{
					counter--;
				} // end if
			} // end if
			Waitframe();
		} // end of while loop
	} // end of void run
} // end of FFC script
