Mario Fireballs Errors

[luavirusfree]

1: WHY was my thread closes? 2: I fixed the damage types, and still got an error. My threads keep getting closed >_<

If there's already an active thread, please link me and I will stop this madness!

I have yet to investigate, though. I will update the code above.

It wasn't doing damage, but that's likely because of the new error.

Post in what do you need help with, Post all of it with mario fireballs in a .zip file and I'll fix it up for you.

*sigh* I posted the last one there... But the thread got deleted, and that forum is a PITA to keep up with!!

CurTime(), not curtime()

curtime() == CurTime() now.

Fixed and tested in singleplayer

Does what you want spawn code:
[lua]local ply = Entity(1)
local ent = ents.Create("mariofire")
ent:SetPos(ply:GetEyeTrace().HitPos + ply:GetEyeTrace().HitNormal * 16 )
ent:Spawn()
ent:Activate()
[/lua]

Change ply to what ever is in the weapon code local ply = self.Owner

Ignites the player when it touches them
Explodes when touches the ground

[luavirusfree]

I don't want them to explode immediately, only after about 5 seconds (Like in Mario). I still want the effect at every hit.

[NinjaS]

[QUOTE=luavirusfree;38814519]I don't want them to explode immediately, only after about 5 seconds (Like in Mario). I still want the effect at every hit.[/QUOTE]

change it to [lua]function ENT:PhysicsCollide( data, physobj )
if data.Speed <= 12 then
timer.Simple(5, function()
local vPoint = self:GetPos()
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetStart( vPoint )
effectdata:SetOrigin( vPoint )
effectdata:SetScale( 1 )
util.Effect( "Explosion", effectdata )
if IsValid(self) then
self:Remove()
end
end)
end
end
[/lua]

and if you want it to ignite in Initialize [lua]self:Ignite(5, 0)[/lua]

[luavirusfree]

1: Why ignite it? I plan to use particle effects. 2: Explode isn't a particle effect, except in the source code.

function ENT:Think()
    self.LifeLeft = 3-self.CrTime
    if self.LifeLeft <= 0 then self:Remove() end
       <to be added: Particle Function, or code>
end

...I will rate you dumb, ninjas.

[/QUOTE]

Why are you even using it in think, When you can do it in PhysicsCollide, util.Effect( "Explosion", ..) was just an example you can replace it with an particle effect and you're doing self.LifeLeft wrong.. and that would error since you're removing the entity before even adding the particle effect, unless you're getting the last position of the entity!

My dumb rating was to what you just said in your post no need to be offended, I'm not saying you're dumb, just what you typed..

[luavirusfree]

Bah. I can figure that out if it doesn't work. I don't want it to wait until it collides, but I haven't fully observed its behavior in New Super Mario Wii... If it disappears when it hits, then I will code it that way.

[SUP][I][U]Edited:[/U][/I][/SUP]

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()    local Player = self.Owner

Current code.

[NinjaS]

If you want something like this more understanding way in a think hook

Also it's best to slow the Think hook down so
[lua]
self.SlowDown = 0
self.CrTime = CurTime() + 3

if CurTime() >= self.SlowDown then
if math.Round(self.CrTime - CurTime()) == 0 then
self:Remove()
//.. particle effect at last position
end
self.SlowDown = CurTime() + 1
end
[/lua]

Initialize
[lua]self.CrTime = CurTime() + 3 // set the timer to 3 seconds
[/lua]

Think
[lua]
if math.Round(self.CrTime - CurTime()) == 0 then // If our timer goes to 0

end
[/lua]

Every time you spawn another entity timer is reset already.

Added self.Touched check, or it'll crash you.

Works perfectly now, Only problem is timer.Simple stops working when you remove the entity if removed to early so you may want to delay the remove to another 0.2 or 0.3 seconds.

[luavirusfree]

If I did that, it would also have to check the health. If health is 0, ignite it and stay alive. If it's -1, do nothing except bounce.
I still need to program the bounce logic.

For bouncing you can look at [URL="https://bitbucket.org/facepunch/garrysmod/src/641f2547884a101cb64bc2c100d598e75d12eb3f/garrysmod/lua/entities/sent_ball.lua?at=master"]sent_ball.lua[/URL] source code

Change:

to
[lua]self:PhysicsInitSphere( 16, "metal_bouncy" )[/lua] Default is 16 I think

Read the wiki and learn what each bit does, then you'll understand what my code does, it does the exact same thing what yours does.

[luavirusfree]

Isn't that inches, though??

[QUOTE=luavirusfree;38818288]Isn't that inches, though??[/QUOTE]

It's in a Sphere so basically like a circle how big the ball is, or prop.

[luavirusfree]

Yes, but the wiki says it's radius, not diameter. Radius = 1/2, Diameter = 100%, in total width.

self.Entity:PhysicsInitSphere(7, foliage);

change

And you don't need 2 functions of ENT:PhysicsCollide( data, physobj ) in there only 1 :P

Repost your code again lol, so I can see what it looks like.

Nvm i saw it
[lua]if pOther:IsNPC() or pOther:IsPlayer() then SafeRemoveEntity( self.Entity ) end20[/lua]

Remove the 20 of end

If it still errors repost full code

[luavirusfree]

Yeah, newest code is at the top... What fixes these ( and ) errors?
