I could also use some assistance.

the above code is suppose to spawn blue enemies in two different locations every X frames until the objecttimer is full and then the boss returns back to the main state.

The code was working earlier, but since I added the part with the script/object timer, it's not working properly, it's only spawning foes at the first location.

And then when I removed that section of the code it's still not working. It's as if localvar2 isn't responding, but when I changed it to frame timer it still wouldn't work.

Help?

Try setting localvar2 to 0 before the line "jl :not_max_Bfoe_pair".

 

Try setting localvar2 to 0 before the line "jl :not_max_Bfoe_pair".

that didn't work, but I did find out this.

This is getting ridiculous.



EDIT: It was my buggy .exe and the evil WAV ORG hack



I had to deal with that on top of a null npc that would deliver "-_457" damage, a fireplace that changes it's framerects and a buggy <CNP and <ANP that would only work with 1 NPC



And to top it all off, a smoke entity that likes the teleport menu bit map better then npcsym.bmp





EDIT EDIT: actually I forgot to xor eax before the function so the direction a parent and stuff was same as the Ypos to spawn at...oops

that second CNP is supposed to summon lightning, but does not (there exists an entity with ID 100), is there anything extra needed?

The lightning entity is 146 iirc.

 

Fixed that, finished the script, still doesn't show up. PC just goes invisible, delay, fade out to next area.

are you sure that the NPC that you desire to change to lightning is set to event #100?

 

Can we see the finished script? (You might have changed something to make it not appear).

EDIT: Before doing that make sure:
- That you entered "100" as the event #, not the flag association.
- That its actually loaded (as in if you have it appear/disappear on flag set, that those flags actually are set/unset).

 

I'm pretty sure I remember 147 as lightning but I might be wrong. Also just use <SNP, it works better and might solve your problem.

 

This is from a guy who bathes in this stuff, so don't take personal offense :3

- My offhand memory is telling me it's 146 for instant and 333 for timed (I'm on mobile so let me check............ Yep it is 146).

- SNP is a diffrent command from CNP, so I hardly think it's possible to be better (and sometimes you would rather place a null instead of hunting for coordinates, or maybe you need to refer to the entity you create [though that's not the case with lightning so either is a valid option]).

- If the <SNP fixes his problem, then what me and Bombchu have been suggesting is very likely the actual solution (cause we were asking him the verify his null was correct).

 

<SNP allows instant creation of an entity anywhere within the map without prior entity placement and can be used to unclutter the map with blank entities waiting to be turned into various things used for a split second.

Edit: I'm saying <SNP is better for this situation, not in general.

 

Can i modify text at the intro? (Replace "Studio Pixel presents" to "Blah" for example?)

 

Change "u" to whatever you want it to display. (The u(Kings) map is the title map)

I have no Idea why but the above code it crashing the game. olly keeps telling me that the line marked (in comments) is crashing.



also "moveX" is the part that's crashing the game, I tried changing the variable on the receiving end, but it still doesn't work.





I can confirm that it's not the Random numbers above, I NOP'ed it out and the crashing still happened.

I can confirm that it's not the Parent entity, it worked just fine with the old NPC before I replaced the code.





Help?

 

. I'm developing a mod and I have an issue. I changed the door in start point to go to map 84 (Passage?) and when the door is used it gives a blank black screen. I used haydenstudio's door tutorial in noxid's modding tutorial thread. Any help?

 

Double check to make sure that the event for the next room linked to in your <TRA command links to the correct event in the room that you transition to, and that it has its proper <FAI command on the other end. If this problem persists, then please paste your scripts here.

Also, next time, please post this in the Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread, rather than starting a new thread entirely.

 

Ok thanks, will post there next time.

 

Maybe i just do something wrong, but when i placed Omega at the my custom map it's looks is here, but when boos fight begins, nothing happend. I hear sound how Omega is shooting. I totally copied that thing from Sand Zone, (with all entities) i don't see him. Code:

I can give you mod, if you can't explaint it here.

 

I'm pretty sure that special bosses stay at the Same X and Y position on spawning and don't automatically change to where you want when you place them on a different map.

I think about that too... Then how to change the position of the boss? I can try to change it somehow, but I would first of all wanted to know whether there is a special data file Omega.

 

Assembly. I would just change your map to accommodate.
