Turrets -- v1.4 RELEASED [Both Directions!]

[Turtle95]

I could make a getX() and getY() in mario.lua .. no wait.. thinking java..

Thinking encapsulation.

Sadly, not with portals.

Making a method, mario:bullet()

lasery = math.atan2(self.y, self.x)

end

Gotta pass that to turret.lua now.

Uh...

Uh...

There's more to it, isn't there? I'm trying to read this on wikipedia, and it says it does (y, x) in calculation

[rokit]

atan2 returns a radian, not degree.
You can use math.sin and math.cos of the atan2 value to move it in the direction.

Ah.

So.. if Self.X (Mario) > turretx then
lasery = math.sin(turrety, self.y)
end

Hm.. Somehow I think that it might be wrong.. unless someone tells me otherwise..

[rokit]

lasery = lasery + (trigonometry shit here)

[Turtle95]

lasery = lasery + (trigonometry shit here)

D:

Trig.. I'm in Algebra II.. Hope my brain doesn't explode.

What about.. Midpoint?

I could do that then double it by itself (not math.pow) to get the full range!

[rokit]

I have not taken any studies... You should be fineeee.

[Turtle95]

*imagines you looking at trig in 10 seconds, brain explodes everywhere*

NOOO! ROCKET BOY!

Oh well. Seriously though, read my last post

[Sky]

Now you see why math is so important.

[rokit]

Well I took something from what I made:

Code: Select all

dx = speed*dt*math.cos(a)
dy = speed*dt*math.sin(a)

player.x = player.x + dx
player.y = player.y + dy

[Turtle95]

Now you see why math is so important.

Didn't say it wasn't. Since I only know up to Algebra II, I'll do as I said, do midpoint, and then double that (not math.pow)

EDIT:
Rokit, what's (a)? Don't want any errors if I used that.

[rokit]

I know Trig quite well

I didn't say you said it wasn't. People just say that algebra has no real-life applications.
...
THIS TO ME IS REAL LIFE OKAY???

OKAI BRO.

Anyway, I'll see how it goes. Wait.. How do I pass my lasery value back to the laser in turret.lua?

A is the angle in radians (the atan2 function)

[Maurice]

Too lazy to do proper bullet graphic and the caution animation because this won't be in the game anyway.

[rokit]

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?

[master both]

Too lazy to do proper bullet graphic and the caution animation because this won't be in the game anyway.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why do you do this if its not gonna be in the game!

[12seth12]

the point is for you to download his mod, and maybe help maurice if he ever wants to implement them.

[renhoek]

Too lazy to do proper bullet graphic and the caution animation because this won't be in the game anyway.

expect to see this in 1.7 or whatever
trust me he said it's more trouble than it's worth wich implies he was never going to implament slopes and look what happened

Maurice fool me once shame on you
fool me 8 or more times shame on me.

count how many things maurice said was "not going to be in the game" yet they were. i am ofc referring to the screenshot marathon, and not post-release suggestions by the public that nobody bothered making

[Camewel]

If you're pretty much already done, then what's the point in not putting it into the game?

[trosh]

this looks way better than turtle's 1.4 version :P
anyway yeah would be great to add to the game (especially now you made it)
reminds me of those evil machine gun biatches in N (the way they shoot)
Soooo ... just needs bullet collision detection with mario ?
and if you change your mind I could always try do some simple bullet graphics

[Camewel]

Honestly, for the bullets, they just need to be made black, as right now it looks more like the turret is projectile vomiting all over Mario.

[Maurice]

I hate puzzles that involve turrets, and putting turrets in Mari0 would make people use them in their puzzles.

[Camewel]

Why would you hate puzzles with turrets? Turrets are fun as long as no-one's making you run down their line of fire to pick them up and throw them away.

[Maurice]

Thanks you convinced me now turrets are totally fun and will be added

[NEoNoxD]

you forgot *sarcasm* at the end :D

so do you hate the turret puzzles in potal 1+2?
besides have you seen half the so called "Puzzles" in most of the mappacks?
= is a gap

anyway you released a mod so I suppose that's good enough

[Camewel]

The question still stands. Are you actually still scared of turrets?

[NEoNoxD]

maurice proved again, that he is awesome, he worked on a mod, which wont be in the game :D

and maybe he liked the idea, but he is too awesome to show this to others :3

Yes

[Camewel]

Turrets were one of the best puzzle elements in Portal, they added some kind of direct threat, and meant that you needed to do something other than be smart to beat the chamber. Sure, the first time they come up they're pretty scary, but Portal needed something like that in it to stop it from being so passive. The only other thing that was even nearly like that was the energy ball and that was easy to avoid as you never actually needed to go near one without your faithful companion cube to shield you.

[renhoek]

you know now that I think about it turrets never really were a puzzle
they'd just make you move faster to survive (yeah real challenging)

besides it's not the same without the voices.

[Camewel]

Voices can be added with ease.
And the turrets were a puzzle, just a different kind of puzzle. You had to work out where you were going to attack to successfully kill them all without dying. It was more of a tactics thing.

I suppose I can clean the gfx up and add the code to my mod

[Camewel]

No no no you're doing it all wrong. Maurice already made and released the mod, attempting to use your old code is simply a bad plan. Also, apart from the vomit bullets, those graphics are perfectly fine.

I'm not adding any more code to it, only putting it in my mod to better how it looks. That's all.

[NEoNoxD]

okay, but give credits to maurice :D

[Camewel]

I don't see what you mean by 'putting it into your mod'. Maurice already made and released it. There is nothing there that pertains to you.

[DjShadFox]

I put .png from "turretsstuff.zip" to the graphics folder in the source, put all .lua files from the archive to the others .lua, launched game and... nothing. There weren't any turrets in game. what did i do wrong?

[NEoNoxD]

did you checked in level editor?

[Maurice]

It's not the complete mod. It's missing some draw calls and the placeable entity.
I can't really upload the whole thing because of netplay.

[Turtle95]

The only thing it's not doing is firing. Man.. Gotta do something then.

[NEoNoxD]

lol maurice, yes you can upload :3 I'll hypnotize you. :D

[Turtle95]

I will give credits to Maurice. I promise. No joke.

Well, credit for the code. That one guy gets credit for the sprites.

[Maurice]

To "better how it looks"? Most of the code I uploaded is for finding a player, adjusting the aim and firing. Maybe you should learn some lua before you finish this.

Graphics, Maurice. I did. It's not firing though.
