if(giant) is a shorter way of saying if(giant <> 0)
It is just a way of making sure that you don't try to manipulate the slice before it has been created or after it is destroyed.
You could make several different slices, it would work, but I think it would be more complicated. I think the "Replace large enemy sprite" is better. Then you only need one slice. |

Try this...
| Code: |
script, update giant NPC, begin
variable(sl, x, y)
if(current map <> map:Abrahassax Plains) then(
free slice(giant)
giant := 0
stop timer(1)
exit script
)
if(giant) then(
sl := giant
set slice x(sl, NPC pixel x(97))
set slice y(sl, NPC pixel y(97))
variable(dir)
dir := NPC direction(97)
variable(frame)
frame := NPC frame(97)
switch(dir) do(
case(up) do(Replace large enemy sprite(sl,15+frame))
case(right) do(Replace large enemy sprite(sl,19+frame))
case(down) do(Replace large enemy sprite(sl,13+frame))
case(left) do(Replace large enemy sprite(sl,17+frame))
)
set timer(1, 0, 1, @update giant NPC)
)
end
|
Let me know how it works |

Yeesh, that looks way more elegant than what I did. Oh well, might as well put it up anyway.
Problem is, the big sprite blips out (as far as I can tell) when it wraps around the map, even using the nightly.
| Code: |
global variable (1,giant)
global variable (2,framecount)
global variable (3,framedelay)
#-----------------------------------------------
plotscript, setup giant NPC, begin
variable(sl)
framecount:=1
framedelay:=0
sl := load large enemy sprite(2,2)
#--In this case, the layer called is a blank one above the player and NPC layers.
set parent(sl, lookup slice(sl:map layer 2))
set horiz anchor(sl, edge:center)
set vert anchor(sl, edge:middle)
giant := sl
update giant NPC
end
#-----------------------------------------------
script, update giant NPC, begin
variable(sl, x, y)
if(current map <> map:World Map) then(
free slice(giant)
giant := 0
stop timer(1)
exit script
)
if(giant) then(
sl := giant
)
#--calls script below
giantdirection
#--Positions big sprite over the center of NPC/vehicle. (NPC 0 here).
set slice x(sl, (NPC pixel X(0)+10))
set slice y(sl, (NPC pixel y(0)+10))
set timer(1, 0, 1, @update giant NPC)
end
#-----------------------------------------------
#--Script counts 1,2,1,2,etc. and returns the result.
#--Used to control what frame is displayed for whatever direction.
script, framecheck, begin
if (framecount==1)
then(
framecount:=2
return (framecount)
)
else
(
framecount:=1
return (framecount)
)
end
#-----------------------------------------------
#--Requires a tag which asks, is the hero in a vehicle? In this case it's tag 2.
#--Matches the big sprite direction to the player,
#--and cycles the big sprite in a two frame animation.
#--It's assumed that the big sprites are ordered north1, north2,
#--east1, east2, south1, south2, west1, west2 directionwise.
script, giantdirection, begin
variable(sl, x, y)
sl := giant
#--is in a vehicle? 1=yes
if(check tag (2))
then(
#--Big sprite doesn't animate if player isn't moving.
if (hero is walking (leader))
then(
#--Slows down the the animation frequency a bit, it's really fast without this.
if (framedelay==1)
then(
framedelay:=0
switch(hero direction (leader)) do, begin
case(north) do, begin
switch(framecheck) do, begin
case(1) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 0, 1)
end
case(2) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 1, 1)
end
end
end
case(east) do, begin
switch(framecheck) do, begin
case(1) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 2, 2)
end
case(2) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 3, 2)
end
end
end
case(south) do, begin
switch(framecheck) do, begin
case(1) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 4, 2)
end
case(2) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 5, 2)
end
end
end
case(west) do, begin
switch(framecheck) do, begin
case(1) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 6, 2)
end
case(2) do, begin
replace large enemy sprite (sl, 7, 2)
end
end
end
end
)
else
(increment (framedelay))
)
)
end

Man, am I forgetful today. Not only did I post that mess above without logging in, but I forgot my secondary goal.
You might want to consider adding a frame or two to that big walker thing. There's nothing stopping you since the animation isn't constrained to two frames, and it would look a lot smoother considering the size of the transport. |
