Another issue with projectiles

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 16:55:10 +0000

With help from the byond community and a friend I was able to fix the firing from legs problem with my characters on my game now I have another issue when the icon is facing north and south the icon is appearing from the left or right not aligned with the base any tips on fixing this

Here is the code for the skill

obj
    Eatk
        icon = 'BeamAttacks.dmi'
        icon_state = "head"
        density = 1
        layer = 100
        pixel_y = 15
        pixel_x = -25
        New()
            spawn(100)
                del src
        Bump(A)
            CanDamage(Gowner,A,src)
            ..()

        Move()
            var/obj/k = new/obj/ETrail(loc)
            k:dir = dir
            ..()

Beam skills fireing from the legs

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 06:27:07 +0000

My question is this I am using a 32x64 base icon for my game and I noticed that when i fire a energy attack the projectile comes from his legs i have tried the pixel x,y locations and all it does is move the base icon up messing with the base location if there are any tips on how to fix this or library's, demo's I would be grateful.

Big Icon Trouble

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:14:01 +0000

Code:

turf
        HouseT
        icon = 'House2.dmi'
        icon_state = "House2"
        density = 1
        name = "House2"
        layer = OBJ_LAYER + 0.5

Problem description:

The lower right corner of the building has the density of 1 but everything else i lets me walk over it

I have even tried

turf
        HouseT
        icon = 'House2.dmi'
        icon_state = "House2"
        density = 1
        name = "House2"
        layer=MOB_LAYER+1

to no avail so I am asking if anyone has the answer i seek

Recomended Pixel Size for Buildings

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 06:32:06 +0000

I am working with my 32x64 base icon on my game and I was curious as to what size the building icons should be like 128x128 or anything bigger I have personally tried 128x128 and it did not look right so I am seeking advice from the community

Overlay Problem

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 03:17:30 +0000

What is wrong with this snippit of code (yes I know its old and outdated) It all compiles with no errors and the object shows on the map fine and into the inventory but when I go to equip it the obj does not show up any idea why

obj
 Outfit
        name = "Outfit"
        icon = 'OutfitS.dmi'
        icon_state = "gear"
        verb
            Equip()
                if(src.worn)
                    eq=0
                    src.worn = 0
                    usr.overlays -= src.icon
                    usr.overlays += usr.hair

                else
                    eq=1
                    src.worn = 1
                    usr.overlays += src.icon
                    usr.overlays -= usr.hair

            Drop()
                if(src:worn == 1)
                    usr << "Not while its being worn."
                if(src:worn == 0)
                    src.loc=locate(usr.x,usr.y-1,usr.z)
            Get()
                set src in oview(1)
                src.loc = usr
                usr<<"You picked up a [src]"

Note: I was using a grid inventory but I had the same issue the + it would only allow 1 thing equiped at a time and i would not like players goin around nude just so they can equip that sword they worked so hard to get

My Progress in Base makeing

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 05:56:18 +0000

Wow I cant belive this is only like my 3rd post in B.A.S. but I remember when I first decided I wanted to make my on player base for my game so I decided to post my base when I first started working on them and my new base

Before

as you can tell its a 32x32 base not very big and totally outdated now for the aftershot

Although my hair still sux this 32x64 base is way superior to the above but i would like some tips on improving it so thanx in advance

Vanishing lash

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 07:17:47 +0000

Code:
The Var

obj/var/tmp
    lash = 0

The code

mob/verb
    LashingWhip()
        set category = null
        if(safe) return
        if(se < 100)
            src << "<b>Your Energy is to low wait for it to recover!"
            return
        if(!firing)
            view(8) << "<b>[src]: Lashing Whip"
            firing = 1
            src.contents += new/obj/whip
            New()
             Whip1()

The Proc

obj
    proc/Whip1()
        if(lash) //infinite ticker loop
            src << "You have called your Lashing Whip."
            lash = 1
            src.contents -= new/obj/whip
            sleep(5)

Problem description:
What I wanna do is make the whip vanish after so many seconds in this case 5 but it just stays in the inventory no vanishing at all it just stays there
