QMenu

Hey guys, I edited up Knuckles Q menu that he posted here awhile back and i'm just having one problem.
It seems to want to stop doing anything once you relogin.

(Also doesn't seem to list the name of the first #w it is on when you first get it. Either that or the Bow doesn't have a #w)

[code]if(playerenters) {
toweapons -QMENU;
timeout = 0.05;
}
if(created&&isweapon){
timeout = 0.05;
}

if(keypressed) {
if(keydown2(keycode(q),true) && this.kq == 0) {
if(this.enabled == 0) {
disabledefmovement;
setplayerprop #m,idle;
playersprite = 13;
this.selected = selectedweapon;
this.enabled = 1;
} else {
enabledefmovement;
playersprite = 0;
this.enabled = 0;
}

this.kq = 1;
timeout = 0.05;
}
}

if (timeout) {

this.index = this.selected;
for(i=0; i<pi2; i+=pi2/weaponscount) {
showimg 600+this.index,#W(this.index),playerx+.5+sin(pi+i)*4,playery+1+cos(pi+i)*4;
showimg 651,@#w(this.index+1),playerx-1.5+sin(pi+i)*4,playery+6.5+cos(pi+i)*4;
changeimgzoom 651,.6;
if(this.index == weaponscount-1) this.index = -1; this.index++;
}
if(keydown(1) && this.k1 == 0) {
if(this.selected >= 1) this.selected-=1;
elseif(this.selected == 0) this.selected = weaponscount-1;
play nextpage.wav; this.k1 = 1;
}
elseif(keydown(3) && this.k3 == 0) {
if(this.selected < weaponscount-1) this.selected+=1;
elseif (this.selected == weaponscount-1) this.selected = 0;
play nextpage.wav; this.k3 = 1;
}
selectedweapon = this.index;
if (!keydown(3)) this.k3 = 0;
if (!keydown(1)) this.k1 = 0;
if (keydown2(keycode(q),false)) this.kq = 0;
if(this.enabled == 1) timeout = 0.05;
else {hideimgs 600,600+weaponscount; hideimg 651;}

}[/code]

Re: QMenu

Seems to be heavily reliant on a timeout.
Sidenote:

if(created&&isweapon){
timeout = 0.05;
}

if(created){…} currently doesn't work o_o

Dispite this being a bastardization:
if(playerenters&&isweapon){
timeout = 0.05;
}

It is what you want to fix this part of the code.

Re: QMenu

I think the if (created) are working, used it in a few other scripts. This one and another one wouldn't seem to run after the keypressed.

for (i=0;i<weaponscount;i++) {
if (strequals(#w(i),QMENU)) {
callweapon i,keypressed;
}
}

Seemed to fix it for this and another npc. Anyways thanks

Re: QMenu

Keypressed is a trigger o_o Don't need to call a flag of 'keypressed' in the selected weapon o_o

Re: QMenu

Figured i'd need to call something, since calling keypressed seemed like an okay idea I went with it.
You can use callweapon blah,; then i'm guessing?

Re: QMenu

callweapon is a great alternative to using self-provoking triggeractions, its based on indexes instead of x,y though.
I use it to control the 'delete' system in my QMenu

Re: QMenu

thanks man

Re: QMenu

Just be warned, it is not an instantaneous call. There is a 0.05 second delay.

Re: QMenu

Fixed Somewhat (No random timeout on entry)

if(playerenters){
 if(isweapon)
  {
  enablefeatures allfeatures-4;
 }else{
  toweapons -QMENU;
 }
}

if(keypressed)
 {

 if(keydown2(keycode(q),true) && this.kq == 0)
  {
  if(this.enabled == 0)
   {
   disabledefmovement;
   setplayerprop #m,idle;
   playersprite = 13;
   this.selected = selectedweapon;
   this.enabled = 1;
   timeout = 0.05;
  }
  else
   {
   enabledefmovement;
   playersprite = 0;
   this.enabled = 0;
  }
  this.kq = 1;
 }

}

if (timeout)
 {
 this.index = this.selected;
 // setplayerprop #c,#e(0,1,#w(this.index));

 for(i=0; i<pi*2; i+=pi*2/weaponscount)
  {
  showimg 600+this.index,#W(this.index),playerx+.5+sin(pi+i)*4,playery+1+cos(pi+i)*4;
  showimg 651,@#w(this.index+1),playerx-1.5+sin(pi+i)*4,playery+6.5+cos(pi+i)*4;
  changeimgzoom 651,.6;
  if(this.index == weaponscount-1) this.index = -1; this.index++;
 }

 if(keydown(1) && this.k1 == 0)
  {
  if(this.selected >= 1) this.selected-=1;
  elseif(this.selected == 0) this.selected = weaponscount-1;
  play nextpage.wav; this.k1 = 1;
 }

 elseif(keydown(3) && this.k3 == 0)
  {
  if(this.selected < weaponscount-1) this.selected+=1;
  elseif (this.selected == weaponscount-1) this.selected = 0;
  play nextpage.wav;
  this.k3 = 1;
 }

 selectedweapon = this.index;
 if (!keydown(3)) this.k3 = 0;
 if (!keydown(1)) this.k1 = 0;
 if (keydown2(keycode(q),false)) this.kq = 0;
 if(this.enabled == 1) { timeout = 0.05; }
 else {hideimgs 600,600+weaponscount; hideimg 651;}
}

Re: QMenu

didn't think enable features worked in this version.

Re: QMenu

if (created) only works about 1/4 of the time, and in the code supposedly it is not built in correctly …

12

Re: QMenu

That is why you use

if (created || playerenters) { CODE; }

This way the code is initialized everytime a player enters or it is created.

13

Re: QMenu

cough Some events, you may only want to be initialized once, either because the NPC relies on it being done once, or because it'll lag.

if(playerenters && this.init != true) {
Add Your Stuff Here
this.init = true;
}

14

Re: QMenu

Ah ok.

15

Re: QMenu

Ew I had 'this.init == true;'
== is for statements and comparisons.
= is for assigning. O_o
