is it possible to disable the spin attack?

That is exactly what I wanted. Thank you Zefk!

I was wondering if there was a way to read specific lines and remove them if necessary.

Thank you Christopho! It works now.

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local straight = sol.movement.create("straight")
straight:set_angle(3)
straight:start(map:get_camera())

I was trying to move the camera, but how do I move an entity without a name? Is it possible to create a name for the camera?

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local straight = sol.movement.create("straight")
straight:set_angle(3)
straight:start(camera)

I tried the following, but it did nothing. I normally would do this for an enemy to use the 4 way directions.

Code ( lua) Select Expand

function gerf:on_movement_changed()

  sprite:set_direction(movement:get_direction4())
end

llamazing is correct. I did that and changed my radius to 20. Is it possible to have the sprite use all 4 facing directions when going around an entity or would it be better to loop with the path movement?

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local circle = sol.movement.create("circle")
circle:set_center(chest1)
circle:set_loop_delay(1000)
circle:set_angle_speed(100)
circle:set_duration(100)
circle:set_max_rotations(100)
circle:set_initial_angle(100)
circle:set_clockwise(true)
circle:set_radius(20)
circle:set_radius_speed(1)
circle:set_ignore_obstacles(true)
circle:start(gerf)

Oh, forgot it was in pixels. All is good now. Thank you for your help Diarandor!

Thank you Diarandor! That solved my first problem.

Now the problem is that the NPC does not move at all. I tried multiple different coordinates of x,y. Strangly, the sprite vanishes with:

Code ( lua) Select Expand

pixel:set_ignore_obstacles(true)

Full code:

Code ( lua) Select Expand


function map:on_started()

local pixel = sol.movement.create("pixel")
pixel:set_trajectory{{64,80},{368,384}}
pixel:set_loop(true)
pixel:set_ignore_obstacles(true)
pixel:start(gerf)

end


I have been trying to figure out the error with my table for the pixel movement.

trajectory (table): An array of all successive translations to make. Each translation should be an array of two integers (x and y).

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local table1 = {244,270}
pixel:set_trajectory(table1)
pixel:start(gerf)

and I tried:

Code ( lua) Select Expand

pixel:set_trajectory{244,270}
pixel:start(gerf)

Code Select Expand

[2150] Error: In on_started: [string "maps/Map_4.lua"]:83: bad argument #3 to set_trajectory (table expected, got number)

So is this a bug?

The NPC works with random_path and jump, so it is not stuck.


Full code:

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local map = ...
local game = map:get_game()
local hero = map:get_hero()

function map:on_started()

  local circle = sol.movement.create("circle")
   circle:set_center(chest1,248,357)
   circle:set_loop_delay(2000)
   circle:set_angle_speed(200)
   circle:set_duration(2000)
   circle:set_max_rotations(10)
   circle:set_initial_angle(360)
   circle:set_clockwise(true)
   circle:set_radius(360)
   circle:set_radius_speed(60)
   circle:start(gerf)

end


The only time anything happens is when I do the following.

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local map = ...
local game = map:get_game()
local hero = map:get_hero()

function map:on_started()
  local circle = sol.movement.create("circle")
   circle:set_radius(360)
   circle:start(gerf)

end

It is still just standing there. No error outputs.

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local circle = sol.movement.create("circle")
circle:set_center(chest1,248,357)
circle:set_loop_delay(2000)
circle:set_angle_speed(200)
circle:set_duration(2000)
circle:set_max_rotations(10)
circle:set_initial_angle(360)
circle:set_clockwise(true)
circle:set_radius(360)
circle:set_radius_speed(60)
circle:start(gerf)

I am having trouble with this because my npc is not making a circle movement. I want the NPC (gerf) to circle around a entity (chest1).

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local circle = sol.movement.create("circle")
circle:set_center(chest1,248,357)
circle:start(gerf)

Thanks again Zefk! The sword variant change is working.
