Stickiness:

Gayo	If I set an entity's movecode to "L1" (or whatever) and it starts to move left by a tile, then halfway to the next tile I set the movecode to "" (blank), does the entity stop there, or does it keep on going? It looks like it keeps on going, I just want to make sure I'm not crazy here. Posted on 2004-05-20 09:01:12 (last edited on 2004-05-20 11:45:54)
rpgking	When you set it to "L1", won't it move a full 16 pixels to the left before it processes the next movecode? Posted on 2004-05-20 15:27:45
RageCage	yeah I'm pretty sure it will finish moving L1 but if you want to make sure the entity is in the right place you could: entity.x[ent]=entity.x[ent] /16 *16; Posted on 2004-05-20 15:54:10
vecna	If you want to stop an entity RIGHT NOW for some reason, do entity.movecode[] = 0 Posted on 2004-05-20 22:30:51
resident	What IS entity.movecode? The documentation is understandabley sparse on the subject. Posted on 2004-05-20 22:40:58
RageCage	entity.movecode is a way of telling if the entity is following a move script or not as for setting it's value, verge gives me an HVAR error Posted on 2004-05-20 22:55:19
Gayo	I tried setting the movecode to 0 earlier, and it always seems to crash me with a message along these lines: Unknown HVAR (61,5) (set 0) ProcessLevel - process.vc (62) --where the line is in ProcessLevel of process.vc, of course. The 61 is constant in every version of this error, so I presume it refers to entity.movecode, and the number after it ("5" here) seems to be the entity index.

vecna	Doh. Posted on 2004-05-21 12:54:53
Overkill	Also, in the new version, it seems that... entity.visible[ent]=0; ...still gives a HVAR error message. Or am I mistaken? Posted on 2004-05-22 01:20:35
vecna	I dont think entity.visible was in the last public build? :o Posted on 2004-05-22 03:07:50
vecna	OK I lied. entity.movecode=0 is no longer the preferred way to stop an entity rightnow, the v3 way to stop an entity is EntityStop(). Old habits die hard. V3 entities are not exactly a simple state machine anymore, you can't just alter the flag and have everything work write, so that's not supposed to be writable (proper errors for trying to write to a read-only var will be in a future build, but not this one since it's already so late) Posted on 2004-05-25 02:37:35
