AkyV’s released plugins - Page 14

I had a problem with dissapearing bars, but it resulted to be a mistake with parameters that were being used in another script.

However during the problem I was thinking about the memory, is the plugin using any of the NGLE memory variables? (Local Alfa 1, Current Values, etc...)

AkyV · 13-11-21, 17:43

I am not at my PC, so I cannot check exactly, but the grip bar setup uses one of those variables - see the script description of the feature, I tell there which one.

I though I had solved the problem avoiding the parametters 1-10, but nop, my bars keep dissapearing.

The problem was that when I use the enemy health bar plugins, some bars dissapears.

I didn't know why, I though it was because I was using parametters 1-10 in my finance and animation code, later I found that parametters 1-10 shall be reserved for the PARAM_HEALTH_ENEMY to fit with the array. But after organizing my parameters and do more tests, I saw that didn't solve my problem.

I've been narrowing the problem to this trigger that I've got in my finance script.

$2000,203,$160A ;F203 Trigger: Prints the text NG line 10 using the Parametter Text 22

If I comment to don't print that line, the bars do not dissapear
If I change code to keep that line printed all the time, the bars simply do not appear at all.
If I change to print line 20 instead the line 10, the problem keep happening.
If I change to print usint Parametter Text id 16 instead of id 22 the problem keep happening.
If I put a duration time to the Parametter text to make the line disspear, the bar problem only happens while that text is printed in the screen.

For all that, I think that line is the culprit, but I don't really know why, or how to solve the issue. O_ô

Hello!
I admit that this is probably the most complicated setup I have done so far (or ever...), so perhaps we cannot solve it in only one step.
But I clearly see even at the first sight that a PARAM_HEALTH_CHANGES with full IGNORE is meaningless. Perhaps you want a changing setup (eg. a pulsing bar), but first I think it is better if you make it working as a constant setup.

So remove PARAM_HEALTH_CHANGES, and all the references to it (=IGNORE):
- Degrees, Percent1, Percent2, Percent3 fields of PARAM_HEALTH_DISPLAY,
- ExtraBar field of PARAM_HEALTH_BAR,
- ExtraText field of PARAM_HEALTH_TEXT,
- ExtraSprite field of PARAM_HEALTH_ENEMY.

I was trying to quit the PARAM_HEALTH_CHANGES but the game was crashing when I active the trigger, it was because I was not putting the "Degrees" value to IGNORE.

Now I could remove that feature, (yes I think I could use it on the future, but right now I was aiming to some small and simple till can deal with the dissapearing bars bug).

The next one:
Cust health level names only scorpion, but I saw other enemy types in the video as well.

Try and report.

I've just removed them in this last code to make it easier and simple, the problem still happens only with 1 enemy.

The code of the video, is the one from the DISPLAY info example. Just change the enemies slot by the ones that appears in the video.

(Sorry, I was away to see football World Cup qualifiers.

)

The next one:

Quote:

Parameters=PARAM_HEALTH_ENEMY, 1,>
PHD_EHB_DISPLAY_BAR_COMMON ,> ;Bar Display
SCORPION,> ;Enemy Slot
IGNORE, 19,> ;Text

19 is a reference to a PARAM_HEALTH_TEXT which doesn't exist.

EDIT:
The last ">" is unnecessary:

IGNORE,> ;Degrees

EDIT2:
Perhaps these are not issues at all, but you don't need so big IDs.
I mean, the IDs of different PARAMs (per level) are independent from each other, feel free to count each from 1.

Yep, is a link to the NG line on the English.txt with the name of the monster, ("Spider" is in my case).

But still I wonder what would happen if I put on IGNORE and... well nothing different happens. As I was not using the Text, that value was also useless right now.

/---/

I forgot that bracket at the end, removed too.

/---/

At the moment I had put the >50 ID on the parameters to ensure they don't collide with the parameter from somewhere else. (The Enemy health script alone works fine, the problem was when I executed with my other scripts, that they also have their own parameters, for cameras, for orientation, for text formats, etc...)

The problem was still happening. So I've make more reductions. I commented all my INCLUDES, leaving only the main script.txt and the EnemyHealth.txt

I added a print line with parameter to the Enemy Health, and I still causes the problem.

Tomorrow I can try create a new project just to test that, to see if is the order of the plugins or if there is anything else conflicting in over there. @_@

Hello!
I reconstructed your setup with very small differences:

1. I was lazy to add a scorpion to my test WAD, so tested with baddy_1 now.
2. My plugin ID is not 3 but 4 here.
3. I removed the part for PARAM_PRINT_TEXT printing, which is not part of PARAM_HEALTH_DISPLAY.

The setup was made for almost a full clear test script, so nothing interferes here.

I also placed one trigger for the baddy in the map, and another one (F118) for the TriggerGroup#150, and that's all.

And it worked nicely to me, with the newest Tomb Editor (1.4.5.). No disappearing.
I had two thin bars above each other. The constant "nearest enemy" one was blue, and the one above it for the actual aimed one was red.

Here:
