People, I need a reminder. Wasn't there some Sfall change that allowed animated objects to stay animated even in combat? Or did I dreamed that?
Sfall Scripting
- Thread starter Lexx
- Start date
No idea. How do I use it? Feels like I forgot everything I know about Fo2 modding in the past 4 or so years.
An example for animating a burst during combat:
Code:
sound := sfx_build_weapon_name(snd_weapon_attack, weapon_obj, hit_left_weapon_primary, attacker);
reg_anim_combat_check(0);
reg_anim_clear(attacker);
reg_anim_begin();
reg_anim_animate(attacker,ANIM_fire_burst, -1);
reg_anim_play_sfx(attacker, sound, 0);
reg_anim_end();Nah, that's not what I mean. With animated objects in combat I mean stuff like the cloud object animation or alarm sirens and such stuff. Not critter animations.
Why wouldn't that work according to the same principle? Just try it out for objects only with ANIM_stand and reg_anim_animate_forever, or whatever objects use.
Nope, doesn't work. As soon as I enter combat, the animation stops.
Some toying around:

reg_anim_combat_check(0);
reg_anim_clear(self_obj);
reg_anim_begin();
reg_anim_animate_forever(self_obj, ANIM_stand);
reg_anim_end();
end
procedure map_update_p_proc begin
//if (combat_is_initialized == 0) then
// begin
reg_anim_combat_check(0);
reg_anim_clear(self_obj);
reg_anim_begin();
reg_anim_animate_forever(self_obj, ANIM_stand);
reg_anim_end();
// end
endHave you tried simply resetting the animation after combat starts as a workaround? Not ideal, I know, but better than nothing.
Also, we should probably discuss this in that sfall scripting help thread that's around somewhere
Moved the posts into a new thread. Couldn't find the old one.
How would you want to reset the animation after combat starts?

Oh right, critter_proc doesn't run during combat; isn't there some combat start thing in combat_proc?
Well, also keep in mind that this is about animated scenery object. They don't have critter_p_proc anyway, if I remember correct.
Oh, right. Then I guess you'd need a global script where you check once for all scenery objects sharing a certain FID (e.g. alarm sirens) on combat_is_initialized and then reset their animations.
Still don't know how to reset the animation.

I just mean to do the exact same thing you did to start the animations, only again, thus resetting it.
Ah. But isn't this exactly what I did in map_update_p_proc?
