Help with my fire breathing zora script...

[Archangel]

ffc script Zora2{
	void run(int count){
		npc zora = Screen->CreateNPC(191);
		while(zora->isValid()){
			if(zora->Tile >= 2220){
				for(count = 1; count >= 20; count++){
					eweapon fs = Screen->CreateEWeapon(139);
					fs->X = zora->X;
					fs->Y = zora->Y;
					fs->Angle = findAngle(fs->X, fs->Y, Link->X, Link->Y);
					fs->Damage = 8;
					fs->Angular = true;
					fs->Step = 200;
					PlaySound(13);
					Waitframes(6);
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Won't even compile, keep getting T21 error on PlaySound(13); saying it can't match the signature of PlaySound(Float)?

I changed playsound(13); to a comment and ZC freezes...

I change CreateNPC to LoadNPC and now it freezes when I try to load my game...

FFC combo starts on screen init moving continue screen to 67, started find but when I went to screen 7 link walked off the screen and the game froze.

EDIT: You know what... Fuck it, I'll just make them dive faster and shoot stronger projectiles. :angry: damn critical bugs...

I think you should stick a Waitframe() somewhere outside of the if block, just in case it is ever false, which would then freeze the game (that's the freeze you got).

Also, PlaySound is a method of the Game object. Eg, Game->PlaySound

I'm not sure what you're talking about in the "walking off screen" line, but it's probably the same freeze bug as above.

I managed to get the script working with a few bugs. Is there a way to tell if the Zora has it's head above water?

Check for what tile it's using?

ffc script Zora2{
	void run(){
		npc zora = Screen->CreateNPC(191);
		while(zora->isValid()){
			if(zora->Tile >= 2180){
				for(int count = 1; count >= 20; count++){
					eweapon fs = Screen->CreateEWeapon();
					fs->X = zora->X;
					fs->Y = zora->Y;
					fs->Angle = findAngle(fs->X, fs->Y, Link->X, Link->Y);
					fs->Damage = 8;
					fs->Angular = true;
					fs->Step = 300;
					Game->PlaySound(13);
					Waitframes(6);
				}
			}
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

No luck, it breathes constantly? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong then. Is their another way of making it breathe a stream of 10 flames but only if it's head is above water?

ffc script Zora2{
	void run(){
		npc zora = Screen->CreateNPC(191);
		while(zora->isValid()){
			if(zora->Tile >= 2500){
				for(int count = 0; count < 10; count++){
					eweapon fs = Screen->CreateEWeapon();
					fs->X = zora->X;
					fs->Y = zora->Y;
					fs->Angle = findAngle(fs->X, fs->Y, Link->X, Link->Y);
					fs->Damage = 8;
					fs->Angular = true;
					fs->Step = 300;
					Game->PlaySound(13);
					Waitframes(6);
				}
			}
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

Try that. The big issue was that by default, the zora tiles are ALL >= 2180. You want them to be >= 2500 (unless you've moved them around).

Also, I fixed the for loop. You should always do it like that, unless you have reason to do so otherwise.

Heh, I had to have a little chuckle when I read that.

(int count = 1; count >= 20; count++)

Set count to 1, loop while count is greater than or equal to 20?

Well, I'm actually using different tiles for my new enemies, you'll like the new robie graphics. But when I checked the tiles, I wasn't even close... I got confused you see, it's 7000 more then that at 9180, I double checked the thousands place and read the tile for the normal Zora.

Anyways, thanks for help guys?

Fire Breathing Zora2s now were talking, die link die!
