What do you mean? If you are talking about Id's for the tech/upg, those shouldn't matter. If my computer ever gets fixed, I can see what ones you used while making the buttons, and the upgrade just needs to be set in weapons.dat.

Or did you mean something else?

I meant should I make it a spell requiring 50 energy or a regular attack? (I prefer spell)

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-06-12 at 21:05:18

Well, DTBK has the final say, but my input - make it a 100 energy spell. That way, you have to be careful about what you choose to attack.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by TERRAINFIGHTER on 2006-06-13 at 12:20:42

I guess 100 energy would be better, but I still gotta wait on DTBK to approve/deny it

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-06-13 at 23:52:01

Waiting for DTBK could take some time....(watch, he shows up a couple of hours after this post...)

I'd make 2 versions, one with the energy, one without. It would just be 1 change in Weapons.dat(wouldn't it, I can't remember...)and the techdata.dat file. We need to get this done soon.

Does someone want to test whether a subunit range of 0 auto-attacks melee attackers?

We can prevent it from auto-attacking by unchecking Battle Reactions and giving it idle orders of Nothing, I believe.

I already got it so it shouldn't auto attack, except for computer players who now have it controlled by their unit AI

ADDITION: just finished the units iscript, here it is

CODE

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
~Deleated all this this from post to make post smaller~
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #

IonCannonInit:
playfram 0
goto IonCannonUnknown19

IonCannonGndAttkToIdle:
wait 125
goto IonCannonGndAttkToIdle

IonCannonUnknown19:
wait 125
goto IonCannonUnknown19

IonCannonDeath:
playsnd 7 # Misc\ExploLrg.wav
imgol08 334 0 0 # TerranBuildingExplosionlarge (thingy\tBangX.grp)
wait 3
__3f_condjmp local91
sprul11 273 0 0 # TerranBuildingRubblesmall (thingy\RubbleS.grp)
wait 1
end

IonCannonGndAttkInit:
wait 50
attack26
wait 1
goto IonCannonGndAttkToIdle

local91:
wait 1
end

How long is a second in iscript ticks? The manual said there was 10 so I made the wait 50

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Voyager7456(MM) on 2006-06-14 at 19:57:54

Yeah, 10 ticks = 1 second, about.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-06-15 at 10:22:23

Yeah...looks good. Should work....

So now, the attack and the hit need an iscript animation(those should be easy...), and then...put everything together and a mem patch....

I've never messed with a weapons Iscript before, only editing weapons with .dat editing so this should be nice n fun to try

know any good unused iscript slots I can use for the weapon?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DT_Battlekruser on 2006-06-15 at 13:20:25

I don't know; the whole spell thing is just overly complicated.

Minimum Attack Range + 0 Subunit Range = no auto-attack, right?

The other limiting factor to the Ion Cannon is that it takes something like 5 seconds to charge and fire. This needs to be done with a Yamato-like chargining animation in the AttkRpt and AttkInit scripts. I think we can get by fine with a normal weapon; minimum attack range and zero subunit range.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by TERRAINFIGHTER on 2006-06-15 at 16:24:37

1. We're not really sure if that = no auto attacking, but we think it does (noone has tried it)

2. you guys need to make the grp for the charging frames, but I can do the rest

(I will edit it into iscript when you finish)

3. I planned on using the same line of code for the init as for the rpt code, shouldn't that work?

also, the weapons icon grp is in-compatible with the mod, whoever made it needs to redo it so RetroGRP can compile it

ADDITION: I just realized in the past 2 weeks we have gotten more work done than in the past year!

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-06-15 at 20:02:41

Let's keep it that way.

If I was you, I'd just copy the Yamato charge, and change the palette to one of the blue ones.

As for Iscript, you can add any new headers you want...just make sure the IsId is high enough.

1.Makes perfect sense to me.

2. Yeah. The graphics team seems to think its their coffee break or something.

3. Sure.

I openned up the stat_txt.tbl file you sugguested earlier, but when I wanted to test it out I noticed it was empty

~Update~ I just finished adding the new ionhit and ions entries into the mpq and graphic list,
sorry it took so long but I forgot about the project for a while >.<

now I just gotta work them into the .dat files and iscript...

~Update~ I just finished the .dat entries for the graphic, and made the Iscript for the missile.

But since I have never worked on a weapon iscript before, I need to know whether this will work or not

CODE

IonMissileGndAttkInit:

goto IonMissileGndAttkInit
IonMissileDeath:
playsound 9 # dragoon weapon hit sound, which sound do you prefer?
domissiledmg

ADDITION: sorry, I just realized that it doesn't call the explosion grp, I will try to fix this if I can, when I get the time

~update~ I perfected the Iscript, here's the ion weapons Iscript

IonMissileDeath:

and here's the Ion Hit Iscript

~Update~ for some reason my IceCC refuses to compile these files, can someone compile them for me?
(I will send you the files via PM)

nuce work! if anyone can make there own sound, that would be great!

UPDATE - I made a new sound, i think it sounds pretty awsome, it is listed below!

Excellent, now we need an impact. The impactneeds to be fairly explosive, as this is a huge powerful cannon.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DiscipleOfAdun on 2006-07-08 at 19:19:44

The iscript for the Ion cannon will have to be redone after nirvanajung sends me the grp file...

Sounds really good.
