Danmakufu Q&A/Problem Thread II

[Kylesky]

I FAILED at trying to make my circle bend... but this was just too awesome to not show anyone... (that weird thing actually moves and keeps on creating more weird stuff, but still stays circular...)

I tried to do this just because of boredom and curiosity, so no need to explain to me how it works if you wanna explain... I was just bored :V and who knows... I may actually use this weird bending effect sometime in the future...

[Helepolis]

Drake, I didn't understand a thing of the spellcircle slingshot effect code. Therefor reasking it again =.=. I am a failure in math so this is the following I want to achieve by math (else I could take the long road)

- My spellcircle has starting size: 80.
- I want it to grow to 180 with an accelerating speed.
- When it reaches close to 180 I want it to deaccelerate
- At size 180 it should start shrinking with acceleration untill it reaches it's final size: 150

HOW ?!

Nvm I got it:
let c = 17;

inside loop:
if(c>0 && switch == 0){ size += c*cos(360/size); c-=0.5; if(c==0){switch=1;}}
if(c<15 && switch == 1){ size -= c*cos(360/size); c+=0.5; if(c==15){switch=2;}} 

Probably not the most efficient or beautiful method but for a math-failure like me it felt like the top of the mountain.

[Drake]

When I have the time I'll make an object bullet of which will be possible to substitute with the circle radius. I can't really understand what you're doing right now so :V

EDIT: I'll expand on it later. There should be an equation you can use so you don't have to manually test speeds like I did.

let obj = Obj_Create(OBJ_SHOT);
let radius = 80;
let maxradius = 180;
let finalradius = 150;
let speed = 3;
let accspeed = -0.04569;
Obj_SetX(obj,GetCenterX);Obj_SetSpeed(obj,0);
Obj_SetAngle(obj,270);ObjShot_SetGraphic(obj,WHITE01);
while(!Obj_BeDeleted(obj)){
    Obj_SetY(obj,GetCenterY+radius);
    radius+=speed;
    speed+=accspeed;
    if(radius>=maxradius){Obj_Delete(obj);}
    if(radius<=finalradius && speed<=0){speed=0;accspeed=0;}
    yield;
}

I think I see what you're trying to do. You want it to start at 0, accelerate to 180, and then decelerate as it closes in on 150, which it stops at. 
You're going to have to use a bit of trigonometry for this one.  What you're looking for is sine.  I can't do the entire math in my head, but from what I already know, what you want to do is A*sin(X*F).

A -being the top speed (magnitude).  X-being the angle you'll get the sine of, and F, being how "quick" the acceleration and deceleration will be altogether.
Then, increase the value of X by a set amount of frames. There's math behind it, and you'll need it.

Correct. And if there is one thing I hate myself for is math :V I need it indeed but blending it into danmakufu is hard. I started messing with parabola formulas and all kind of stuff. ( I didn't even knew I had to use sinus ) I just ended up with cos and by some random luck it worked out. Yay me ( horrible presentation though )

@Drake be on IRC if you can so we can discuss stuff about Ijiyatsu

[Infy♫]

how can i give some score when a player captures a nonspell, but without making dnh think its a spell?

[Naut]

AddScore(number);


@Finalize{
   if((GetMissCountInThisSpell + GetBomBCountInThisSPell)==0){
     AddScore(100000);
   }else{
     DrawText("You suck", GetPlayerX, GetPlayerY - 30, 12, 255);
     PlaySE(GetCurrentScriptDirectory~"Hawhaw.wav");
   }

How would you put SetGraphicRects in a task and how would you call it? Ive tried a code like this:

Code: [Select]

task animation1(start,endframe){
let anim = 0;
if(anim<5){SetGraphicRect(0, 229, 34, 300);}
if(anim>=5 && anim<10){SetGraphicRect(34, 229, 34, 300);}
if(anim>=10 && anim<15){SetGraphicRect(68, 229, 68, 300);}
if(anim>=15 && anim<20){SetGraphicRect(102, 229, 102, 300);}
if(anim==endframe){
start = 0;}
if(start>0){
anim++;}}
And when called, it does nothing...any ideas?

[Blargel]

I haven't tried this, but from my knowledge of how Danmakufu works, you aren't allowed to control graphics in the @MainLoop. Since most scripts run yield; in the @MainLoop, the tasks are counted as running there as well, and therefore things that control graphics wouldn't work either.

I think your best bet is to just write a bunch of conditionals in the @DrawLoop unless you don't wanna use tasks in the @MainLoop anymore. I may be wrong though.

EDIT: Perhaps putting a yield; in @DrawLoop will work too? I know @DrawLoop ignores bullet functions and @MainLoop ignores drawing functions... But this way, each task will need two yields to wait one frame.

[Drake]

Not sure about tasks and yields, but if you call a drawing function in DrawLoop it'll work fine.

[Naut]

Blargel is correct, you must sacrifice the use of @MainLoop tasks for @DrawLoop tasks to work. This tends to be why you don't see them very often at all.

[Blargel]

task animation1(start,endframe){

if(anim<5){SetGraphicRect(0, 229, 34, 300);}
if(anim>=5 && anim<10){SetGraphicRect(34, 229, 34, 300);}
if(anim>=10 && anim<15){SetGraphicRect(68, 229, 68, 300);}
if(anim>=15 && anim<20){SetGraphicRect(102, 229, 102, 300);}
if(anim==endframe){
start = 0;}
if(start>0){
anim++;}}
And when called, it does nothing...any ideas?

Actually you know what? Besides the problem with tasks running only in either MainLoop or DrawLoop, isn't your task only going through once and stopping? I mean, as far as I can tell, it makes a variable called anim set to 0, checks if anim is less than 5 (which it is so it runs SetGraphicRect(0, 229, 34, 300);), checks anim against a bunch of other if statements that won't be true, checks if start is greater tan 0, and then ends. It doesn't loop, nor does it even yield once.

EDIT: Stupid solution go!
Make a child enemy that has no hitbox, sets its position to the parent enemy, and handles drawing the parent enemy's graphic. Since this child enemy doesn't need to shoot bullets, you can put yield; inside the @DrawLoop instead of the @MainLoop to uses tasks to handle animation more easily. Meanwhile, the parent enemy has yield; in the @MainLoop like usual and handles all the danmaku creation and other things that might be needed.

[Drake]

Oh my god that is so unnecessary
i guess it would work, but really

[Nimble]

Can I make object shot in player spell has delay effect act like enemy shot?

I try on custom bullet shot and it delay by show it graphic until it fire out, not bullet cloud.

[CK Crash]

ObjShot_SetDelay(id,frames);

Keep in mind that if you use a task for each object shot, the task will continue while the shot is still delaying. You may want to loop yield until the delay is over.

[Nimble]

It happen like this when I delay it.


Edit ->
Normal delay that I want.

Any advice?

ObjShot_SetDelay(id,frames);

work as upper image.

[I Am A Fruit]

Can anyone tell me how to use custom danmaku?

[Demonbman]

Can anyone tell me how to use custom danmaku?

I'll be assuming you mean custom shots/
First, you will need a shot sheet with the bullets you want to fire.
Second, you will need to make a .txt with #UserShotData in the first line.
Third, you will need to load the Shot Sheet.
Before i go on, here is an example:

Code: [Select]

#UserShotData \\Defines as Shot Data

ShotImage = ".\img\shot.png" \\Loads the image

ShotData{//Opens the ShotData data
id = 1337 //Id used to fire the bullet
rect = ( 0, 0, 64, 64) //Rect, or location, where the bullet is located on the sheet. (left, up, right down)
render = ALPHA //"Just use it"
delay_color = ( 128, 128, 128 ) //Color of the delay that will shot up (red, blue, yellow)
angular_velocity = 0 //Decides if the bullet rotates, negative for counterclockwise, vice versa
} //Closes the Shot Data

Then in the script you want to call the bullet in, call:
LoadUserShotData in the Initalize, such as if we named the ShotData shot.txt:
LoadUserShotData(GetCurrentScriptDirectory~"shot.txt");

Then call the bullet with the Id you have specified...

All your \\ replace by //

[Helepolis]

I wouldn't use 1337 as a number as danmakufu only allows a range from 1 to 255 :V

[Kylesky]

Is there a short and non-tedious way of turning a value into an array by digit? example... turning 123456 into [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

[Iryan]

Okay, I cannot test if this works, but if I understand it correctly, it just might.

Create an array at the beginning of your script:

Code: [Select]

let test=[];
Then include the following task:

Code: [Select]

task Tconvert(X){
  let array = [];
  let array2 = [0];
  let array3 = [];

  while(X>=1){
    array2[0]=X;
    X=floor(X/10);
    array2[0]=array2[0]-10*X;
    array=array ~ array2;
  }

  descent(i in (length(array))..0) {
    array2[0]=array[i];
    array3=array3~array;
  }
  test=array3;
}

In theory, this should convert your number X into the array "test". There might be some mistakes, though. In praticular I am not shure if the descent shouldn't be descent(i in (length(array)-1)..(-1)) instead, but as I said, I cannot test it.

If it won't work, I' sorry. 

[Kylesky]

thanks iryan, I'm not sure if that works, but I found another way of doing it, so nevermind

I have a different question now... I'm trying to make items and I'm wondering why this won't work:

Code: [Select]

let itempic="lib\system\items.png";
LoadGraphic(itempic);

task item(type, x, y)
{
let counter=0;
let xpos=x;
let ypos=y;
let obj=Obj_Create(OBJ_EFFECT);
ObjEffect_SetTexture(obj, itempic);
ObjEffect_SetPrimitiveType(obj, PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLESTRIP);
ObjEffect_CreateVertex(obj, 4);
if(type=="POWER_S")
{
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 0, 0, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 1, 16, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 2, 0, 16);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 3, 16, 16);
}
if(type=="POINT")
{
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 0, 16, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 1, 32, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 2, 16, 16);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 3, 32, 16);
}
if(type=="COLLECT")
{
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 0, 32, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 1, 48, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 2, 32, 16);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 3, 48, 16);
}
if(type=="POWER_L")
{
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 0, 48, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 1, 64, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 2, 48, 16);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 3, 64, 16);
}
if(type=="POWER_F")
{
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 0, 96, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 1, 112, 0);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 2, 96, 16);
ObjEffect_SetVertexUV(obj, 3, 112, 16);
}
while(Obj_BeDeleted(obj)==false)
{
yield;
counter++;
if(counter<20)
{
ypos-=2;
}else{
ypos++;
}
ObjEffect_SetVertexXY(obj, 0, xpos-8, ypos-8);
ObjEffect_SetVertexXY(obj, 1, xpos+8, ypos-8);
ObjEffect_SetVertexXY(obj, 2, xpos-8, ypos+8);
ObjEffect_SetVertexXY(obj, 3, xpos+8, ypos+8);
if(((xpos-GetPlayerX)^2+(ypos-GetPlayerY)^2)^0.5<=10)
{
if(type=="POWER_S")
{
SetCommonData("power", GetCommonData("power")+1);
}
if(type=="POWER_L")
{
SetCommonData("power", GetCommonData("power")+10);
}
if(type=="POWER_F")
{
SetCommonData("power", 100);
}
if(type=="POINT")
{
AddScore(5000*(GetGraze/100)/((GetPlayerY-GetClipMinY-120)/50));
AddPoint(1);
}
if(type=="COLLECT")
{
SetCommonData("collect", GetCommonData("collect")+1);
}
Obj_Delete(obj);
}
}
}
and an enemy with the code... which works if it doesn't call the task

Code: [Select]

script_enemy_main {

#include_function ".\enemy1anim.txt"
#include_function "lib\items.txt"
let frame = 0;
let frame2 = 0;
let item = 0;

@Initialize {

SetLife(50);
SetDamageRate(180, 100);
          LoadUserShotData("lib\SHOT_REPLACE\shot_all.dnh");
}

@MainLoop{

SetCollisionA(GetX, GetY, 16);
SetCollisionB(GetX, GetY, 6);

frame ++;
frame2 ++;

if(frame == 1){
if(GetX<GetCenterX)
{
SetMovePositionHermite(GetClipMaxX+100,GetY+rand(-100,100),300,270,300,0,300);
}else{
SetMovePositionHermite(GetClipMinX-100,GetY+rand(-100,100),300,90,300,180,300);
}
}

if(frame2>20 && frame2%10==0){
PlaySE(GetCurrentScriptDirectory~"sound\Shot1.wav");
CreateShotA(1, GetX, GetY, 10);
SetShotDataA_XY(1, 0, rand(-3, 3), rand(-1, -3), rand(-0.01, 0.01), rand(0.01, 0.05), rand(-3, 3), rand(2, 4), 3);
FireShot(1);
}


if(GetY > GetClipMaxY || GetX>GetClipMaxX || GetX<GetClipMinX || GetY<GetClipMinY){
VanishEnemy();
item = 1;
}


}

@DrawLoop {
anim2;
}

@Finalize {
if(item == 0){
item("POWER_S", GetX, GetY);
}
}
}
}

I already checked and all the directories are pointed to the right area...

everytime the game loads an enemy that loads that function, it crashes... it doesn't give me an error... it just crashes... (I'm gonna put in the code for the item collection line later)

[Nimble]

You set task name and variable with same name =w=/
task item(type, x, y)
let item = 0;
Set task name to other like itemdrop(type,x ,y) instead.

[Naut]

Is there anyway for Enemy Enumeration to keep selecting the same enemy until it dies, instead of switching between new enemies as they spawn? I've tried a couple different things (like putting whiles inside of whiles, hoo boy) and they have all yielded very interesting error messages, so I'll ask here in case anybody has already solved this problem.

[Drake]

You can use enemy IDs outside the enumeration loop. Make a variable currentenm and set it to -1. If currentenm == -1, run the enumeration loop and select one enemy, then keep the value gotten from EnumEnemyGetID in currentenm. This value isn't -1, so it keeps skipping the loop. Do your other stuff, and each frame if GetEnemyInfo(currentenm,ENEMY_LIFE)==false, set currentenm to -1.

[Naut]

let enemy = -1;

Code: [Select]

if(GetEnemyInfo(enemy, ENEMY_LIFE)==false){
enemy=-1;
}
if(GetEnemyNum>0 && enemy==-1){
if(!IsBossExisting){
ascent(i in EnumEnemyBegin..EnumEnemyEnd) {
enemy=EnumEnemyGetID(i);
i=EnumEnemyEnd;
}
}else{
i = EnumEnemyBegin;
enemy=EnumEnemyGetID(i);
}
ex = GetEnemyInfo(enemy, ENEMY_X);
ey = GetEnemyInfo(enemy, ENEMY_Y);
}else{
ex = vv + 100*cos(osc);
ey = 0;
}

Errors:





And...

Code: [Select]

if(GetEnemyInfoDefault(enemy, ENEMY_LIFE, 1)==1){
enemy=-1;
}
if(GetEnemyNum>0 && enemy==-1){
if(!IsBossExisting){
ascent(i in EnumEnemyBegin..EnumEnemyEnd) {
enemy=EnumEnemyGetID(i);
i=EnumEnemyEnd;
}
}else{
i = EnumEnemyBegin;
enemy=EnumEnemyGetID(i);
}
ex = GetEnemyInfo(enemy, ENEMY_X);
ey = GetEnemyInfo(enemy, ENEMY_Y);
}else{
ex = vv + 100*cos(osc);
ey = 0;
}

...Just doesn't do anything.

[Blargel]

Here, have a code block that controls my homing lasers. Hope you can get what I did with just my poorly commented code. It's an extract from a giant task that controls the whole object bullet with some irrelevant parts cut out so using the code as is will probably not work.

Code: [Select]

//choose target closest to it
let target = -1;
let targetX = 0;
let targetY = 0;
let closestDistance = 65535;
ascent(enemy in EnumEnemyBegin..EnumEnemyEnd){
  let enemyID = EnumEnemyGetID(enemy);
  let enemyX = GetEnemyInfo(enemyID, ENEMY_X);
  let enemyY = GetEnemyInfo(enemyID, ENEMY_Y);
  let enemyLife = GetEnemyInfo(enemyID, ENEMY_LIFE);
  let enemyDistance = GetDistance(Obj_GetX(obj), Obj_GetY(obj), enemyX, enemyY);
  if(enemyDistance < closestDistance && enemyLife > 0){
    closestDistance = enemyDistance;
    target = enemyID;
    targetX = enemyX;
    targetY = enemyY;
  }
}
//change behavior per frame based on conditions until deleted
while(!Obj_BeDeleted(obj)){

  //if there is a target
  if(GetEnemyInfoDefault(target, ENEMY_LIFE, 0) > 0){
    //logic on what to do if the enemy is alive goes here
  }

  else {
    //logic on what to do if the enemy is dead goes here
  }

  yield;
}

EDIT: Note that you can stick the block that chooses a target in the place that gets run if the target is dead, and it'll choose another target if the enemy is dead already and continue running.

You're calling LoadGraphic in the wrong place. Put it in the @Initialize of every enemy that's gonna drop items instead of in the separate file.

Alternatively, call it in the @Initialize of the stages you'll be making so you only need to write it once.
