make bomb solid (after getting off it)

07-28-2007, 06:22 AM

hey everyone I have a bit of a problem.

In my bomberman map that Im making I'm trying to figure out how to make it so the bombs you place become unpathable after you get off of them. In real bomberman games, when you set them they go under your character wherever you set them (they get centered on the grid tho of course), and your character can still move freely as if nothing was there. As soon as you move off the square with the bomb though, you can no longer pass through the bomb and you'll be blocked by it.

So the problem with doing this in my map is multiple players. If it was just one player I was dealing with it would be easy, just wait for him to leave a rect then make a unit with collision on the spot of the bomb. But what if another player walks on the bomb before the 1st one leaves it? Then the collision unit will be placed at an offset or maybe not even created at all... I think you see my problem. What should have happened in the above situation was the 2nd player attempting to enter the area with the bomb would be blocked, but the 1st player could still move on it because he was always on top of it and never moved off of it.

I dont even think this is possible to do, but if anything close to it can be achieved please feel free to explain to me how to do it.

note: also there is a bomberman map I found in which the creator claims 'bombs become solid after you walk off of them', and in testing this solo I found this to be true, but I have been unable to test it with other players and see if it actually works as intended with multiple players or not. (and the map is protected

)

Pyrogasm	Is your map based on a grid system? If so, you could simply trigger all of your movement. Then, you could add in a check to see if there is an enemy player and his bomb on the tile you're moving too.

no, I guess its not on a grid system, it doesnt really read rects at all. Basically my 'grid' is circles of power covering all of the stage, and all the triggers that work with the gameplay are based off the circles of power that players are currently standing on...

The reason I did this was so I didn't have to create 120 rects for each stage, and my plan is to include many different stages (I have 2 so far). All I do is place scout towers (unbreakable blocks), farms (breakable blocks), and then I cover everything with circles of power, change a couple of variables, and bam, I have a new stage in the game fully playable.

what Im looking at right now is making a function for this. All of my bombs being set, explosions, and blast collision detection for all of the players is done in 1 jass trigger (which has 2 or 3 functions). I think that for when a bomb is set, I need to call the function for all players and check to see if they try to enter the space with the bomb...

My guess is to create a temporary rect where the bomb is, and call a function for each player that will stop their character (and move him back a little) if he enters the area with the bomb. But then how would I know when/how to destroy or end that function when the bomb explodes? I think I am sort of rambling but I am confused as to what I should do... I'll post the trigger for my bombs in a sec when I figure out the tags..

Pyrogasm	Aside from leaking when you return prematurely, you also have a fair amount of BJ functions and inefficient lines. This would be much easier with timers instead of polledwait loops.

ok so I guess ill forget about making collision for my bombs for now and fix my code... Im guessing I have to change all the bj's because they are slow or some such?

And about timers... I'm reading up on them right now. It looks like when you start a timer, the rest of the function doesnt wait for it. If thats true, what should I do about waiting for the bomb to explode? I can't just wait for 3 seconds, I need to wait for it to explode because it can prematurely blow up from other bombs. Does that loop that waits for the bomb to blow up have any way for it to be optimized with timers ?

Pyrogasm	This is a BJ, and why they're bad: JASS: function PauseUnitBJ takes boolean flag, unit whichUnit returns nothing call PauseUnit(whichUnit, flag) endfunction Just make the timer repeat with a fast interval. You can check every time to see if the bomb has exploded.
