HWP how to Constant animation only on flying ?

[bulletdesigner]

is it possible to make animation constant only on flying ?
For exemple i build this deamon with wings but i want the wings only to move when flying! ( last 4 spirtes of each directions)

[Yankes]

In my extended version its possible.

[bulletdesigner]

Hi Yankes can you tell how i can do it? Hope it´s a ruletset entry cause i no nothing about scripting!

This is example for parrot https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4451.15.html

armors:
  - type: PARROT_ARMOR
    scripts:
      selectUnitSprite: |
        var int temp;
        var int walking;
        unit.isWalking walking;
        if eq walking 0;
          unit.getId temp;
          offsetmod temp 11 0 8; #desync animation of different units
          add temp anim_frame;
          wavegen_saw temp 8 8 7; #create sequence similar to: "1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0"
          mul sprite_offset 8;
          add sprite_offset 8;
          add sprite_offset temp;
          set sprite_index sprite_offset;
        else;
          add sprite_index sprite_offset;
        end;
        return sprite_index;

This will not work for 2x2 unit because it use different offset for graphic parts (but you still can test it and see some bizarre effects ), but if you provide some sample rulsest of unit you want to animate I could change this script to be compatible with it.

it´s the cyberdisc armor with 20 on drawing routine

  - type: CYBERDISC_ARMOR #Flying Deamon
    spriteSheet: FDEAMON.PCK
    allowInv: false
    corpseBattle:
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_1
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_2
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_3
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_4
    corpseGeo: STR_CYBERDISC_CORPSE
    frontArmor: 50
    sideArmor: 50
    rearArmor: 50
    underArmor: 50
    drawingRoutine: 20
    constantAnimation: true
    movementType: 1
    size: 2
    damageModifier: #DEAMON ARMOR
      - 1.0 #none
      - 1.0 #AP
      - 1.0 #FLAMES
      - 1.0 #HE
      - 1.0 #LASCANON
      - 1.0 #PLASMA
      - 1.0 #STUN
      - 1.0 #MELEE
      - 1.0 #ACID
      - 0.0 #SMOKE
    loftempsSet: [ 92, 89, 90, 91 ]


The constant animation also don´t work for i can see, must  be a drawing routine 20

[Yankes]

Code: [Select]

armors:
  - type: CYBERDISC_ARMOR
    scripts:
      selectUnitSprite: |
        var int temp;
        var int walking;
        var int floating;
        unit.isWalking walking;
        unit.isFloating floating;
        if and eq walking 0 eq floating 1;
          unit.getId temp;
          offsetmod temp 11 0 8; #desync animation of different units
          add temp anim_frame;
          wavegen_saw temp 4 4 4;
          add sprite_offset 1;
          add sprite_offset temp;
          add sprite_index sprite_offset;
        else;
          add sprite_index sprite_offset;
        end;
        return sprite_index;
done, animation is play only when unit is floating.

  doesn´t work , the animation is stuck on first frame floating or on ground
Maybe i need the newest version of extender?

i get a crash some times when i kill the deamon .. this is the error

[ohartenstein23]

There's a bug in OXCE/OXCE+ on killing 2x2 units - I think Yankes is looking into it.

ho i see, and your correct other 2x2 units also bug crash , where can i see this thread that talks about it, so i know when its fixed?

[ohartenstein23]

Check Meridian's OXCE+ thread, Yankes posted a quick fix there if you want to recompile the executable, otherwise it should be in the next version of OXCE/OXCE+.

[bulletdesigner]

i´m going off topic but "quick fix is add `&& !unit->isOut()` at line `TileEngine.cpp:3256`:" that´s like Chinese to me..where do i write that line? ....hahah can they just put a .exe with that solved

[ohartenstein23]

He's talking about this line in the engine source code, and I'm guessing since it sounds like Chinese to you, compiling your own version is out of the question...  Are you using OXCE+ 3.5 for windows?  I can compile an .exe with the fix in it to use until a new version is released.

Edit: Try this one out.

[bulletdesigner]

thank you it work perfectly i´m using oxce 3.5+ windows
