any way to directly detect if player is hit by blob?

[Komag]

I can't make onDamage or onProjectileHit give me any results, presumably because blob isn't a projectile and does no damage. Is there any other way to directly detect if the party is hit by a blob?

If not then all I can think of is to set up accurate timers to know that the blob failed to hit the receptor on time, but I'm going to set up a lot of them so I'd rather have a direct approach is possible

[Diarmuid]

That's exactly what I'm doing with my spells framework... setting up a ton of timers . And one of the goals of the project was to handle such cases because it was impossible in native Grimrock.

What you ask is super easy in exsp:

Code: Select all

exsp.addSpellHooks("blob",{
	onPartyHit = function(sId)
		[do whatever you want, sId being the id of the blob entity]
	end
	}
)

But there's a lot going on behind the scenes to make it happen...

PS: By the way, I've found a few bugs in 1.3.3, working on a more stable release that will also integrate some of Grimwold's work, new version should be up soon, don't download it right now, might not be 100% stable.

dunno if this can help but if your problem is that blob isn't a projectile, and didn't make damage, why you don't custom a spell like blob but who did damage? :p

---------

it's a good idea!

(I'm not ready to do exsp yet, trying to keep things simple for this project, but thanks, good to know it's available!)

you knonw that i m unskilled on code but if can help with some logic mind hehehe

[Komag]

I've never messed with custom spells before - I can't find any original spells! I of course have the asset pack, but the spell.lua is full of defineObject, no defineSpell anywhere. Where are they?

[hyteria]

i think it s a function in a game script

[Neikun]

Oh I know this... Where did I see them when I was doing my gardians?

EDIT: They're in objects.lua
Just ctrl+f and find the one you're looking for n.n

[Komag]

there are no spells in my asset pack objects.lua

[hyteria]

check grimworld tread , he worked on some custom spell , maybee this help , i think you had to add it into game in a script

[Neikun]

Weird... There are in mine. Do you have the latest version?

Anyway, in case you still can't find them:
