Tiberium !

[Futszak]

Whoah, I think i just missed something.
Now, I'm back. Models are done, only TBARS plant and the nozzles - I think I'll leave them. Now, only texturing is to do and everything's ready.

[kevkev]

Lynx if you want i can make a tiberium harvesting mod, just tell me what you want :)

[Lynix]

I want to fix the bug in the code :/

[Killer_Steel]

Ask Para, he coded the original system with you.

[Exalion]

Is this still broken?

[Killer_Steel]

Most likely yes. You'll just have to wait.

[MattyK]

*bump* Any updates on the bug fixing?

[killer2339]

Um... Is this a dead addon?

[kevkev]

[QUOTE=killer2339]Um... Is this a dead addon?[/QUOTE]

No..

[b]Edit:[/b]

[QUOTE=MattyK]*bump* Any updates on the bug fixing?[/QUOTE]

I think he is working on it.

[Lynix]

I think he is not working on it because he don't know how to fix the bug

[killer2339]

What bug?

[Lynix]

This bug : [url]http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showpost.php?p=10035073&postcount=429[/url]

[killer2339]

That could be a problem. Maybe throw Entity:SetAngles(Angle(0, 0, 0)) in some ware?

[Lynix]

And this is the tiberium code : [url]http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showpost.php?p=10013145&postcount=420[/url]

[killer2339]

"Ang.pitch = Ang.pitch + 90" Maybe what is makeng it flip upside down but I don't know just throwing out ideas.

[Killer_Steel]

Hoo boy, hit a brick wall, eh Lynix? Have some of the code gurus look at it, I'm sure it's fixable. Let's hope it is anyway, don't wanna have tiberium coming our like a bad constipation :v:

[Lynix]

killer2339 : remove this line and go in the game test the code

It's really annoying (I'm not using google traductor \o/), if someone can help me :/

[subenji]

After about 5 hours messing with the code (partly working out it's a new lynix_tiberium_green, getting it loaded, then fixing some weird bug with traces, then finally looking into the bug),
I got it!
I fixed it!
:D
And you won't believe what it was!

function ENT:Think()
    if (self.health == 0 and self.Entity:GetPos():Distance(self.topos) < 14.5) then
        self.Entity:Remove();
        return;
    end
    if (self.NextRegen <= CurTime()) then
        self.NextRegen = CurTime()+math.random(20,60)
        if (self.LifeTime <= CurTime()) then
            self.health = math.Clamp(self.health-math.random(20,30),0,100);
            self.topos = self.HP - self.HN * (self.Entity:OBBMaxs().z*(1-self.health/100))*-1
            self.sta = math.Rand(10,20);
        else
            self.health = math.Clamp(self.health+math.random(20,30),0,100);
            self.topos = self.HP - self.HN * (self.Entity:OBBMaxs().z*(1-self.health/100))
            self.sta = math.Rand(10,20);
        end
    end
...

this is where the error is. My Code:

function ENT:Think()
    if (self.health == 0 and self.Entity:GetPos():Distance(self.topos) < 14.5) then
        self.Entity:Remove();
        return;
    end
    if (self.NextRegen <= CurTime()) then
        self.NextRegen = CurTime()+math.random(20,60)
        if (self.LifeTime <= CurTime()) then
            self.health = math.Clamp(self.health-math.random(20,30),0,100);
            self.topos = self.tr.HitPos - self.tr.HitNormal * (self.Entity:OBBMaxs().z*(1-self.health/100))
            self.sta = math.Rand(10,20);
        else
            self.health = math.Clamp(self.health+math.random(20,30),0,100);
            self.topos = self.tr.HitPos - self.tr.HitNormal * (self.Entity:OBBMaxs().z*(1-self.health/100))
            self.sta = math.Rand(10,20);
        end
    end
...

The important bit is the LifeTime check. You have "If lifetime has expired, remove 20-30 hp and set a new topos" BUT you added "*-1" to the end, reversing the vector! As a crystal was expiring, it would raise, not sink! (as the topos sets Z position relative to the crystal's HP)

Also as you can see there, I use "self.tr.HitPos" and self.tr.HitNormal" instead of your "self.HP" and "self.HN". For some reason, when I loaded the code, those 2 variables would not save and I had to store the trace instead.

[Jeffman12]

Awesome, the revamped Tiberium is coming!

Oh and I dropped the visceroid thing for two reasons:
Can't get particle editor to work.
Lack of interest.

[Lynix]

I'll try this code, just wait two second, I'm coming back

Sorry, don't work

But I think that one of the bug is fixed

Unfortunately, I think that the angle bug isn't fixed

[subenji]

Hmm, they work fine for me now - only they don't grow on props and a field of them isn't lethal. They grow fine though and don't end up floating or oddly rotated for me.

*bump* Keeping the thread above the water.

[subenji]

I was hoping Lynix would have reported if that's sorted all the problems now. I realize I didn't find the cause of the bug, just prevented bugged crystals from spawning, but some progress report would be nice. :D

[MattyK]

Well releasing his code to the public has been a sucsess so far as you can see above with everybody helping out.

[Tyanet2]

I would love to help but I can't script for my life :(

[MattyK]

*Bump*
Any updates(again)?

And if not, could we just have a QUICK repair patch for RD2 with the previous version of Tiberium?

[QUOTE=Lynix][URL=http://gammarays.pursuitnetwerk.com][IMG]http://i3.tinypic.com/6g0swv6.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Hi,
Here is my second lua realisation, tiberium (C&C3 style) !

Caracteritics:

-It reproduce itself
-Toxic Vapor emitter
-Light emittor
-Vapors can't pass trought props
-If it's between walls, he spawn between them
-Explosions between blue and green tiberium
-3 Sizes
-Tiberium tower!
-Tiberium radar !
-Dynamic infestation !
-Props infestation

Commands who control it :
-tiberium_max : Tiberium host limit (>=0)
-tiberium_light : Enable/disable light emitter on tiberium (0/1)
-tiberium_prop_reproduction : Enable/disable tiberium spawn on props (0/1)
-tiberium_nuclear : Enable/disable nuclear reaction between green and blue tiberium (0/1)
-tiberium_can_die : Enable/disableLe tibérium health (0/1)
-tiberium_distance_max : Max. Distance between original and new one who'll spawn(>=0)
-tiberium_distance_min : Min. Distance between original and new one who'll spawn (>=0)
-tiberium_scale_max : Max. size (1-2-3)

Bugs :

where do you put the file in?

[QUOTE=dezztroy]When will people learn not to quote the first post? Anyways, is this still being worked on?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, WE NEED AN UPDATE

[Futszak]

I suppose It is. Lynix will post update when it's ready. Be patient as tiberium grows.
