Hello guys,
I want to know if is it possible to disable the dying sound when an enemy is killed ?

Because, when I kick the boss, I "remove_life" the enemies around in the same time. And in this way, the sound is played for each in the same time (and it is horrible for my ears  ).

Do you have any idea ?

Hello guys, it is been a long time I don't write in this forum

I've got a problem when I create a boss with separated parts. I successed to create all these parts one by one with no issue (for example function "3A. create_shoulder" in the "boss2_crane" file) ... But I want to optimise my script with the new function "03. create_part_boss".

However, when I use this function, the sprite of these part are not visible in the map.
But, thanks to my print, I know these entities are created.

Do you have any idea ?

PS:
The scripts are attached (sorry for the franglish  )

Hi 
I create a new item: the pickaxe. It allows the hero to destroy some specifics entities and enemies. I want to know if it is possible to add a new kind of "attack_consequence" (as lign 26).
The principe is to attack a specific enemy class with the pickaxe to destroy their armor and, after, kill them with the sword.

enemy script:

Code (lua) Select Expand


local enemy = ...
local game = enemy:get_game()
local map = enemy:get_map()
local hero = map:get_hero()
local body_sprite
local movement
local shield_remove

-- Properties
local life = 2
local damage = 2
local speed = 24
local speed_faster = speed + speed/2

-----------------------------------------
-- Proprieties of the enemy with shield
local function shield_mode()
  body_sprite:set_animation("walking_rock")
  enemy:set_push_hero_on_sword(true)
  enemy:set_attack_consequence("sword", "protected")
  movement = sol.movement.create("target")
  movement:set_target(hero)
  movement:set_speed(speed)
  movement:start(enemy)

  enemy:set_attack_consequence("pickaxe","custom")-- ??

end

-----------------------------------------
-- Proprieties of the enemy without shield
local function normal_mode()
  shield_remove = true
  body_sprite:set_animation("walking")
  movement = sol.movement.create("random")
  enemy:set_push_hero_on_sword(false)
  enemy:set_default_attack_consequences()
  movement:set_speed(speed_faster)
  movement:start(enemy)
end

-----------------------------------------
-- When the enemy is hit by a pickaxe
function enemy:on_custom_attack_received(attack,sprite)
normal_mode()
end

-----------------------------------------
function enemy:on_created()
  body_sprite = enemy:create_sprite("enemies/" .. enemy:get_breed())
  enemy:set_life(life)
  enemy:set_damage(damage)
  shield_remove = false
end

-----------------------------------------
function enemy:on_restarted()
  if shield_remove == false then
    shield_mode()
  else
    normal_mode()
  end
end

  local sprite = enemy:get_sprite()
    sprite:set_direction(direction4)

Hi everyone,
I would like to create a custom switch. In fact, I have an idea but I prefer ask if there is a better way to script it.
This is my idea: The hero throws a boomerang and activate the switch (which keeps the item). After the switch animation, the boomerang returns to the hero and something happens (for example, opening a door).

I already create a custom entity for the switch and it works when I throw my boomerang. Now, I need to indicate in the game that this custom entity is a switch, because I want to use the function "switch:on_activated" and the other.

Does someone have an idea ?

----------------------------------------------------
Switch code :

Code (lua) Select Expand


local entity = ...

function entity:on_created()
  entity:set_size(32, 24)
  entity:set_origin(16, 21)
  entity:set_traversable_by(false)
  entity:set_drawn_in_y_order(true)
end

entity:add_collision_test("touching", function(entity, other_entity)

  local type = other_entity:get_type()
  local switch_state = entity:get_sprite():get_animation()
    local check = type == "boomerang" and switch_state == "stop_off"

  if check then
    entity:get_sprite():set_animation("activated")
    sol.timer.start(1000, function()
      sol.audio.play_sound("secret")
      entity:get_sprite():set_animation("stop_on")
      entity:clear_collision_tests()
      end)
  end
end)
States :
  # stop_off : the switch is not activated
  # activated : the switch is beins activated (loop animation)
  # stop_on : the switch is activated and unusable

Boomerang code:

Code (lua) Select Expand


local item = ...

function item:on_created()
  item:set_savegame_variable("possession_boomerang")
  item:set_assignable(true)
end

function item:on_using()
  local hero = item:get_map():get_hero()
  hero:start_boomerang(64,160,"boomerang","entities/boomerang")
end

Hi, I manage my first boss. Now, I try to make a cutscene when the boss arrives. The only thing I have to do is insert the animation called "appeared" in the code.
I tried to write "enemy:get_sprite():set_animation("appeared")" in the function "enemy:on_created" but it didn't work (lign 78). The sprite of the boss blinked.
I tried also to use the function "enemy:on_post_draw()", without success.

Someone know how to insert a sprite at the creation of an entity ?

Hi,
I'm on th version 1.5.2 and I create an item to allow the hero to walk on specific grounds (spikes, lava...). I managed to create a custom entity and the hero can walk on it.
Now I just want the entity to be created only on there specific grounds.
I use the function "get_facing_entity" (lign 66) to get the entity in front of the hero and my variable got the delicious name "0x063b4a08" (or something like that).

Do you know if it is a bug or not ?

Hi !
I also create a game with Solarus. From the beginning, I worked on the version 1.4.5 and I want to pass on the latest. I downloaded the version 1.5.2 and, when I want to upgrade, I got this message box (In attachment).

Someone knows how to fix it ?
