Part 6 is up at http://youtu.be/dxonfsoRYOY Bossfight

Anyways the trick to bossfight is to link the monster to the bossfight entity.

Code: Select all

function startBrothersBossFight()
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:addMonster(skeleton_commander_1.monster)   -- here we add the skeleton_commander_1 to the fight
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:addMonster(skeleton_commander_2.monster)   -- here we add the second commander to the fight, so the health bar for the bossfight will be both there total health.
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:activate()   -- here we active the fight .
end

function startMedusaBossFight()
	boss_fight_medusa.bossfight:addMonster(medusa_1.monster)
	boss_fight_medusa.bossfight:activate()

end

-- EDIT seems to show up now in full HD

yeah I saw , this video had been up on youtube some time ago if it wasn't for some youtube durping, I had to create this tutorial a couple of times before it showed up in more the 240p.

[cromcrom]

Yes, I saw your 240 version at least 12 hours ago ^^

Now I hate youtube!

It stopped me from being able to make bosses for a while

This is something I made before I saw this video:

Code: Select all

boss1timer.timer:stop()
message = "Rubert: Whats going on!?"


function bossmode()
   party.party:shakeCamera(1, 1)
   hudPrint("You Hear a small explosion.")
   spawn("forest_oak_cluster",2,2,20,0,0,"cluster_1")
   spawn("forest_oak_cluster",2,3,20,0,0,"cluster_2")
   hudPrint("The Area behind you closes off.")
   hudPrint(message)
   boss1timer.timer:start()
end
function bossstart()
   hudPrint("Rose: Guess we better get started then.")
   bossfight1.bossfight:activate()
   spawn("zarchton",2,8,14,1,0,"boss1")
   boss1.monster:setHealth(150)
   boss1.monster:setLevel(2)
   note = spawn("note")
   boss1.monster:addItem(note.item)
   note.scrollitem:setScrollText("You Better come back or this will be your end.\n\n Slave Master")
   bossfight1.bossfight:addMonster(boss1.monster)
   script_entity_2.script.bossdead()
end
function bossdead()
   if boss1.monster:getHealth() == 0 then
      bossfight1.bossfight:deactivate()
   end
end

thats just one boss

Very good tutorials, Skugga. Thank you for making these.

About the boss battle, my boss has 1000 health, but it only shows health up to 1/10th of the bar. Any solutions?

[Skuggasveinn]

This is my best guess since we are just guessing at this point.

setHealth is modifying the health of the monster, not the base health it has defined in the assets.

so if I do this

Code: Select all

function startBrothersBossFight()
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:addMonster(skeleton_commander_1.monster)
	skeleton_commander_1.monster:setHealth(15)   - here I change the health to 15
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:activate()
end

the bar will only fill up a to about 1/20 of they way, since the bossfight entity takes the base health of the monster, then we are setting the health lower from the base, so he comes into the fight like he is already hurt.

if I do this

Code: Select all

function startBrothersBossFight()
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:addMonster(skeleton_commander_1.monster)
	skeleton_commander_1.monster:setHealth(3000)   - here I change the health to 3000
	boss_fight_brothers.bossfight:activate()
end

the red line of the boss fight goes off screen.

The only way I think this will work correctly is if we define a new skeleton_commander that has his base health set to what we want, and not change the health of an existing monster.

If you are getting another result Sorez it would be nice to see your code.
