Pesky aura overlay

Sun, 11 Apr 2010 23:16:36 +0000

Code:

Aura
        icon='fireaura.dmi'
        layer=99
        New()
            ..()
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "TL", pixel_x = -32, pixel_y=32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "TM", pixel_y=32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "TR", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y=32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "ML", pixel_x = -32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "MM")
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "MR", pixel_x = 32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "BL", pixel_x = -32, pixel_y=-32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "BM", pixel_x=0, pixel_y-32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "BR", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y=-32)
            overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "TT", pixel_y=48)

Problem description:

I think the problem is from this segment of code

overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "BL", pixel_x = -32, pixel_y=-32)
overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "BM", pixel_x=0, pixel_y-32)
overlays += image(icon = 'FireAura.dmi',icon_state = "BR", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y=-32))

because when i put it in comments its the only part of the icon that is missing when the aura comes on.

The runtimes i get are: (when the above portion of code is compiled)

runtime error: positional parameters must precede all named args
proc name: New (/obj/Aura/New)
usr: Ceo4eva (/mob)
src: BankaiAura (/obj/Aura)
call stack:
Aura (/obj/Aura): New()
Ceo4eva (/mob): AuraOn()

Thanks for the support

Why doesn't this work?

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 16:26:04 +0000

Code:

Throw()
    var/obj/Projectile/Head/A=new(usr.loc)
    A.icon='throw.dmi'
    A.icon_state="front"
    A.Owner=usr
    A.TechName="rope"
    A.Damage=src.mrei*5
    var/obj/Projectile/Base/C=new(usr.loc)
    C.dir=src.dir
    C.icon='throw.dmi'
    C.icon_state="loop"
    walk(A,usr.dir)
    sleep(1)
    walk(C,usr.dir)
    sleep(20)
    walk_towards(A,Owner)
    sleep(1)
    walk_towards(C,Owner)

Problem description: Well the rope and the loop go out perfectly but just keep on going, they don't return. Frankly I don't think i used walk_towards correctly.

I also know that there are better ways of handling trails, but I just don't like lists at all and I prefer to do it that way shown above.

Thanks for any feedback

Alternative to bump()?

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:33:46 +0000

Sup guys I was just wondering if there is anything similar to bump that we can use on objects that don't move.

I don't know if I'm clear or not but imagine this

var/obj/bomb/A=new(locate(usr.x,usr.y+2,usr.z))

and I didn't use walk() which would then require use bump() to do anything. Instead I just created an object right there; how would I go about making that object have an effect on whatever was on that y-coordinate?

What do I use for this?

Hey guys i just have a quick inquiry about something that i just can't solve.

Basically what I'm trying to do is flick two icons at the same time. ( I don't know if that's even possible, or if flick() is the tool I should be using for this, but if there's a better way to do this please tell me )

The icons are that of a player base in a sword swinging state and the actual sword that was drawn to match that.

I don't know if the details I'm about to give will help you or not but:

The player base that has the actual swinging ( without the sword ) is in the base.dmi icon with a icon_state called "swing".

The sword is in a separate icon file called sword.dmi and the slashing state that's supposed to correspond with the base's swinging state is called "slash"

If you can help me please do, and thanks in advance.

Hello,
Basically What I'm trying to do is create a PM system that uses a custom made window made in my skin.

For example a "Kamehameha"

Skin issues

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:15:39 +0000

Hello. I have been very curious about a few things skin related.
I have noticed that many people make each window of their skin separately as opposed to putting the whole thing in one window.
I put everything in one window and i would like to know if that is a bad or good thing and why.

Secondly, i would like to know how having two output boxes that distinguish different text works.

Lastly, i would also like to make popups that are custom made in the skin. Is that possible?

Thanks -Ceo4eva-
