And to think I converted the ogre_hammer across from scratch.

And to think I converted the ogre_hammer across from scratch.

converting it from scratch is obviously much more ideal , but at least with the script minmay wrote, it's a simple fix to get 2 new monsters working. (thanks minmay )

Really loving those asset definitions by John Wordsworth.

I am trying to get the Tentacles to work.

well, I could implement the monster into the game and it moves and attacks. But some things seem to be missing:

The Tentacles doesn't hide down (and because they never do, they also do not rise up). And the Tentacles do not turn to the party to attack, couldn't figure out, why.

Any ideas??

EDIT: Removed outdated code - see final version here:

tentacles_1.animation:play("hide")
tentacles_1.animation:play("reveal")
theese work..
Also i found this strange component in the scriptreference.. and tried to add it... worked fine

Code: Select all

{
 class = "TentacleHide",
 name = "hide",
 sound = "tentacles_walk", 
 },

I think you might need a few more action definitions though as he's pretty passive if you sidestep him, but im too tired right now to look at it.

Edit: found out that the TentacleBrain gives you a few additional flags:
self.go.brain.partyDiagonal
self.go.brain.partyOnLevel
self.go.brain.partyAdjacent
self.go.brain.partyRight
self.go.brain.partyLeft
....partyBehind
....partyAhead
but you prob. need to implement your own onThink-method.

Thanks - your suggestions helps a lot.

self.go.brain.partyDiagonal
self.go.brain.partyOnLevel
self.go.brain.partyAdjacent
self.go.brain.partyRight
self.go.brain.partyLeft
....partyBehind
....partyAhead

But I don't know waht to do with that.

[Prozail]

if means you can do something like

Code: Select all

 {
 class = "TentacleBrain",
 name = "brain",
 allAroundSight = true,
 onThink = function(self)
	if self.go.brain.partyRight or self.go.brain.partyLeft then
		self.go.brain:turnTowardsParty()
	end
 end
 },

He has turn-attacks aswell.. above was only a very quick example.

[THOM]

oh, yes. Good one. Now it acts much better. And I found out that I do not have to define the animations. And for a certain reason without having them defined, Tentacles are acting better, too.

I would like to get him hide, if the party steps away - but can't get something like self.go.brain:TentacleHide() to work. Prozail, where do you got that self.go.brain:turnTowardsParty() from?

[Prozail]

it's from the Scripting Reference on the BrainComponent, http://www.grimrock.net/modding/scripti ... nComponent

Edit:

but can't get something like self.go.brain:TentacleHide() to work.

If you defined the hide-action you could try to do self.go.brain:performAction("hide")
