... the hell? (Script problem)

I've got some weird problems (and we REALLY need that damn scripting forum since I have no idea if this goes in Help&Bugs or Mods or Art or General). My infantry is aiming completely incorrectly. Somehow they confuse heading and pitch and they don't turn around properly either (at least not at the proper angles). It worked without any changes to the aiming part before, though I don't know if that was before I installed build 2097. WTF is happening there? Why are they switching heading and pitch?

This is the script causing that:

Code: Select all

PoseAimUpper(heading,pitch)
{
	signal SIG_AnimUpper;

	turn chest to x-axis (0 - pitch / 2) speed <720>;
	turn chest to y-axis (heading - <40>) speed <720>;
	turn chest to z-axis 0 speed <720>;
	
	turn head to x-axis (0 - pitch / 2) speed <720>;
	turn head to y-axis <40> speed <720>;
	turn head to z-axis 0 speed <720>;
	
	turn rarm0 to x-axis (<-20> - pitch/2) speed <720>;
	turn rarm0 to y-axis <40> speed <720>;
	
	turn rarm1 to x-axis <-120> speed <720>;
	turn rarm1 to z-axis 0 speed <720>;
	
	turn rhand to x-axis <50> speed <720>;

	turn larm0 to x-axis (<-80> - pitch/2) speed <720>;
	turn larm0 to y-axis 0 speed <720>;
	turn larm0 to z-axis 0 speed <720>;
	
	turn larm1 to x-axis <-10> speed <720>;
	turn larm1 to z-axis 0 speed <720>;
	
	turn lhand to z-axis 0 speed <720>;
}


AimWeapon1(h,p)
{
	signal SIG_Aim;
	set-signal-mask SIG_Aim;
	if (weapontype) return FALSE;
	if (ammunition <= 0) {
		show ammosymbol;
		return FALSE;
	}

	oldreverse=reverse;
	reverse=0;
	if (h > <130> && h < <300>) {
		h = h - <180>;
		reverse = TRUE;
	}
	if(oldreverse!=reverse) {
		if (moving) {
			start-script AnimRun(reverse);
		} else {
			start-script AnimIdleLower();
		}
	}
	
	start-script PoseAimUpper(h,p);
	start-script ResetAim();
	return TRUE;
}

For comparison, the tank script works properly despite using the parameters in the same way:

Code: Select all

AimWeapon1(h,p)
{
	signal SIG_Aim1;
	set-signal-mask SIG_Aim1;
	if (ammunition > 0)
	{
		mainheading = h;
		turn turret to y-axis h speed <80>;
		turn cannon to x-axis 0-p speed <60>;
		wait-for-turn turret around y-axis;
		wait-for-turn cannon around x-axis;
		return TRUE;
	}
	else
	{
		show ammosymbol;
		return FALSE;
	}
}

Ehh. +1 for a scripting forum, we seriously need that, and a few tutorials for people like me who are learning the ropes.. The tank one was good, but thats only the simple stuff..

Are you using restricted aiming arcs? If so... go read the aiming sections of the scripts I had in NanoBlobs 0.54b, where I addressed those problems.

Nope, I have no idea what mod this is.

It's KDR_11K's clone army, remember? Here's a link

Argh: No, the aim is completely unrestricted. They should avoid unnatural torso rotations by turning around when firing at something behind them, even walk backwards if necessary. It did work before the aiming got screwed up like that.

The rest of you: It's this mod. I'm currently not working much on it because I've got exams at the University.

Even anime girls need pants, every now and again.

Also that bug is damned odd. I have no idea how to fix it, so why i'm posting here is a complete mystery.

I have seen this before, infact I have it, I just hadn't tested it yet since spring doesn't let you single player test without corcom >_<

Yes it does. I do not have corcom in NanoBlobs. Or any "com" for that matter
