- Gachabom hits an object and is destroyed immediately
(does not bounce off like Orbinauts or Jawz).
- Gachabom explosion spawns in its place.
- (New) Gachabom physically returns to the player who
threw it.
- Since they're not necessarily going to be randomised, make the prefix Obj_Audience instead of Obj_RandomAudience.
- Externalise some properties that we may not want affecting all hypothetical uses.
- Flag auto-application should be done externally, since this won't be general.
- Focusing on player should be controlled by the function call, not an ambiguous flag.
- Replaces Chao audience entirely
- Convenient, because one of the two default follower types used in the audience is Chao
- Can provide one follower, or a list of followers, on the stringarg1 (seperated by spaces/commas) and it'll pick randomly between them
- If not provided, uses the mapheader follower list
- Can provide one skincolor, or a list of skincolors, on the stringarg2 (seperated by spaces/commas) and it'll pick randomly between them
- If not provided, uses the follower's default color
- If the follower's default color is Match/Opposite or the user provides "Random" in stringarg2, pick a random skincolor
- If arg3 is set, floats in the air
- MTF_OBJECTSPECIAL in binary format
- If arg4 is set, faces the closest player
- MTF_AMBUSH in binary format
- Uses some funny mathematical tricks to avoid checking on the same frame as every other audience member at once
- Add flags variable to toggle much of Orbinaut behavior.
- Don't spawn afterimages for Gacha Bom.
- Animate facing angle of Gacha Bom when thrown backward.
- Let tossed Gacha Bom drive forward after landing.
Two arrows. One above the player, floating. One below the
player, on the ground.
Both arrows use the player's facing angle. Arrows are only
visible to their own player (other players can't see them).
The floating arrow is a papersprite. You can see the arrow
turn with you as you turn your camera.
The grounded arrow is a splat with additive blending. It
tilts to match the slope of the ground you're driving on.
- Item count has always scaled up with player count. Items
spawn every N tics. Previously, these items were evenly
distributed across all item spots. Now, only one monitor
is spawned at a time and the number of items inside scales
up.
- Emeralds spawn inside of monitors instead of loosely.
- Sphere boxes should spawn in the same way as before.
- Once a monitor has been spawned at an item spot, no more
monitors can be spawned there until that one is destroyed.
There's an additional delay of one spawn interval before
a monitor can be spawned in that location again. This is
so a monitor cannot ever instantly spawn back if one is
destroyed at just the right time.
- Includes a struct definition for symmetrical objects
made out of papersprite sides.
- Dimensions of papersprite sides are looked up using
sprite cache.
- Monitors may contain multiple types of items.
- Item RNG is deterministic from the time the monitor is
spawned but the item types are not stored in memory.
Instead the RNG seed is restored every time an item type
needs to be determined. Item types need to be determined
every time the icon on the monitor's screen changes and
when the monitor is popped and drops all its items.
- Monitors sparkle like emeralds if there is an emerald
inside.
- Monitors take damage from players simply bumping into
them. The damage scales up with speed and weight.
- Activating a lightning shield in proximity decimates the
monitor into being able to be destroyed in one hit by
anything thereafter.
- All throwable / deployable items destroy a monitor in
one hit.
- Don't spawn the KI if the duration <= 0
- If the KI spawned but the duration <= 0 for any other reason remove the object instead of performing the division
- UFO is able to be damaged. (No damage values set yet, so it has an obnoxious amount of health.)
- Emerald becomes collectible when fully damaged.
- Jawz can target the UFO.
- Tweaked some of the speed values.
- UFO spawns at first waypoint for TOL_SPECIAL maps
- UFO moves up the waypoints, the speed varying based on your position relative to it and your own speed.
- You are able to tether off of the UFO.
- Bugfix: PathfindThruCircuit no longer fails when reaching a one-ended waypoint.
Damage is my next project but I wanted to get this committed for now.
This is all the visual effects and item logic of the Top
minus (almost all [1]) physics adjustments when a player is
riding one.
While on a Top:
- Otherwordly humming while floating
- Cannot drift [1]. Instead, holding drift begins grinding
the Top into the ground -- sparks fly out
- Sprite tilts left and right as you turn
- No wheel screech when turning too far
- Speed lines while holding drift
- Tripwire Boost effect scales to cover you AND the Top
- One hit and you lose it
- Throwing forward, getting hit or just losing it because
you were in first place for too long: the Top flies out
from under you and begins snaking like crazy
- Throwing backward also makes the Top fly out from under
you but it also thrusts you forward. The Top dies
instantly so it's not dangerous ;-)
- If you're in first for too long, it begins vibrating
- If you tumble, it dances across your entire screen
A loose top will tumble anyone it hits.
- Explosion strength scales with how long you've been outrunning it. 0 seconds is even more punishing than it was before, while surviving 60+ seconds converts the damage into minimal stumble.
- When it starts properly chasing a new target, it will be intangible for 1 second
- Hot potato takes 2 seconds instead of 7
- Too much hot potato will make it run ahead & explode (untested)
- The "cloud" is stationary and spawned on the item box
instead of the player. Still scales up with speed.
- Single particles are spawned behind the player. No
longer scales. Lasts longer but can end early if the
player slows down.
Debris flies forward and outward from the player in the
direction of momentum. Debris particles bounce once then
disappear when they hit the ground for the second time.
Clouds spawn on and trail behind the player for a short
duration.
