Danmakufu Q&A/Problem thread number 4

[Iryan]

Old topic here.

Now, lie down on that bed and tell me about your script.

 BV

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

As I were saying, what's with not being able to use certain functions in certain types of scrips?
Now I have to use common data, goddammit.

[Azure Lazuline]

The creator didn't think you'd need to use those functions outside of their respective script types. The only way to do it is common data.

[Shade]

Sorry for having really stupid/lame topics, and/or if this doesn't belong here, but how do you unlock extra mode in Concealed the Conclusion?

Many say you have to 1cc Normal or higher with all four, two, or 1 of Marissa's shots. Which is it? D: And I'm talking about the regular extra mode, not the phantasm.

[Drake]

Just 1cc normal with everyone and see what happens.

[Shade]

Do I have to clear all of Reimu's last word spells? The barriers and Visionary Miko are insane. -_-

Oh and does it have to be patched?

[Drake]

No clue.

[Shade]

Alrighty, thanks.

Hmph.. I beat All of the choices, but I didn't really capture all of Reimu's last words. I'll try MarissaA again since I haven't done that scenario in a while... Oh well.

[Prime 2.0]

1cc all scenarios with their respective shot types on normal mode to unlock Extra. Beat Extra, 1cc all scenarios as a single shot type on normal mode(And it has to be normal mode, can't be hard or lunatic) and start games on hard and lunatic to unlock Phantasm.

This stuff is on the wiki, shouldn't you have tried that first?

[空SoraのNo鏡Kagami]

Uhh, this code I had was working... Until I tried to make a spell while looking at the advanced tutorial... Now it doesn't work

This...

Forgot the yield; in MainLoop. Also, the enemy doesn't appear onscreen at all. If the yield; is put in, then the shots will just come from the top of the screen, where the boss starts off.

[Iryan]

Yes. Because you didn't tell the boss to move somewhere, the lasers get spawned outside of the playing field where they get deleted instantly.

Just put SetMovePosition02(GetCenterX, 128, 30); or something into your @Initialize.

[空SoraのNo鏡Kagami]

Hmm... I guess the Random Movement was a big deal... I recently had it so the boss was moving to random positions. Thank you.

[空SoraのNo鏡Kagami]

Yes, i know... I am a trouble magnet... That comes with me not fully comprehending the Intermediate Tutorial...

I'm trying to find a way to make it so the frame rate of my shots get higher at a certain time...
How would you set up the variable? [Yes I do suck]

[Demonbman]

Code: [Select]

let time = 60;


if(frame==time){do stuff; time--;}


if(time<21){time=20;}


Have it so every time the condition is met that it subtracts the number you want

[空SoraのNo鏡Kagami]

Well, it doesn't crash when I put it in... I'm probably going to run back about in a few minutes, so I'll postpone it until tomorrow. meanwhile, I'll tamper with it. Sorry for being so hopeless by the way.

[Foremoster]

How do I make a bullet spawn another bullet, I used the ascent thingy but it spawn 1 bullets persecond, If I want it to spawn bullet less often how do i do ?

CreateShotA(1, GetX, GetY, 10);
SetShotDataA(1, 0, 2, angle, 0, 0, 0, 216);

ascent(i in -10..100){
CreateShotA(2, 0, 0, 10);
SetShotDataA(2, 0, 3, angle, 0.5, 0, 0, RED11);
AddShot(i*2, 1, 2, 0);
}

[Iryan]

Firstly, the bullets appear to spawn in the wrong place because AddShot makes the x and y coordinates of the added bullet orient themselves after the bullet to which you add them. For example, adding a bullet with a presumed X coordinate of GetX to a mother bullet that is already placed on the position GetX would make the spawned bullet appear on the position 2*GetX, which will usually be far to the right of the playing field if, not so far to the right that it won't get spawned at all.

Secondly, the ascent function.

ascent(variable in i..n){
       Stuff that has to do with variable;
}

This code has the following effect:
First, it creates a variable of the specified name. Then it preceeds to do the "Stuff" you have put into the {} brackets several times, but each time, it assignes a different value to the variable. The "Stuff" is done once for variable = i, once for variable = (i + 1) and so on, increasing the value of the variable by 1 every time. It continues until doing the "Stuff" in the brackets for the case variable = (n - 1).

For an example, this code:

Code: [Select]

ascent(i in 1..6){ CreateShot01(GetX, GetY, i/2, GetAngleToPlayer, RED21, 0); }
...will create five RED21bullets at the position of the boss and aimed at the player. One bullet with a speed of (1/2) = 0.5, one with a speed of (2/2) = 1, one with a speed of (3/2) = 1.5, one with a speed of (4/2) = 2 and one with a speed of (5/2) = 2.5.



Edit: Editing your post while I am replying to it is no fair.  :fail:

Also, I don't get your question as that code definitely does not spawn a bullet once every second.

If you want your mother bullet to spawn one bullet every second, you need to make every added bullet have a difference of 60 frames in the time it is fired. That means you want to change the first parameter in AddShot to 60*i.

[Foremoster]

IT WORKS 
Thanks Iryan

Edit : It's fair when your the Editor  :derp:

[空SoraのNo鏡Kagami]

I don't get how to set up the descent, and ascent statements... As usual, explain where to put it and blah.
(You guys should get like, points or something for this...)

[CK Crash]

ascent(i in a..b){Stuff;} makes a new variable i that starts at a. It then runs the code in the brackets, with i being increased by 1 each time. Once i equals b, it stops looping.

ascent(i in 0..5){Stuff;} does i=0, i=1, i=2, i=3, and i=4, but it stops and doesn't include i=5.

Code: [Select]

ascent(i in 0..10){Stuff;}
=

Code: [Select]

let i = 0;
while(i<10)
   {
   Stuff;
   i++;
   }

descent(i in a..b){Stuff;} does the exact same values of i, but in reverse order. You can use any variable name instead of i, in the event you need more than one ascent/descent.

Code: [Select]

ascent(i in 0..5){CreateShot01(GetX,GetY,1+i,GetAngleToPlayer,RED01,10);} //A line of 5 bullets.

ascent(i in -2..3){CreateShot01(GetX,GetY,1,GetAngleToPlayer+i*5,RED01,10);} //A wall of 5 bullets.

ascent(i in 0..18){CreateShot01(GetX,GetY,1,GetAngleToPlayer+i*20,RED01,10);} //A ring of 18 bullets.


[空SoraのNo鏡Kagami]

Well... That really clarified all this... Thank you.

[Naut]

So now that schools out for most of you youngin's, how do we feel about holding the next Danmakufu contest sometime soon?

What, it's a Danmakufu question.

[Bitz]

Yes.

[Furienify]

Sure.

So long as it isn't the idea you were tossing around on IRC. Most people won't bother to learn a new engine.

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

Hell yeah.
ADD bullets only! Reimu A and Marisa A only! Hakurei Shrine!

[Prime 2.0]

A contest to pimp out or perform other absurdities to an existing script provided by the contest maker?

Naw, it wouldn't be fair to make everyone compete with Azure like that.

[Kylesky]

Just when school started? :ohdear:

BRING IT ONI need to learn myself some time management skillz

[Iryan]

And of course such ideas come up on IRC when I'm already asleep. 

My idea:

A stage creation contest, but still judged primarily on playability, not on prettyness of backgrounds or sprites.

[Drake]

Too bad playability and enjoyment is heavily based on those factors as well.
