NPC size

**Jakey** · 03-23-2010, 05:09 AM

Confused a little bit on this issue, NPC size reading doesnt work as if its bigger then 1x1 it will noclip through walls, but anything 1x1 doesnt.

Code:

	public int getNextWalkingDirection() {
		currentTile = new Tile(absX + moveX, absY + moveY, heightLevel);
		if(!WalkingCheck.tiles.containsKey(currentTile.getH() << 28 | currentTile.getX() << 14 | currentTile.getY())){
			int dir;
			dir = misc.direction(absX, absY, (absX + moveX), (absY + moveY));
			if (dir == -1)
				return -1;
			dir >>= 1;
			absX += moveX;
			absY += moveY;
			return dir;
		} else if(WalkingCheck.tiles.get(currentTile.getH() << 28 | currentTile.getX() << 14 | currentTile.getY()) == true) {
			return -1;
		} else {
			return -1;
		}
	}

what shall be done?

set up the npcsizes manually through npc.cfg, so

Code:

NPC = npcid maxhit hp size

or however yours is
Then set it up so only so much distance can be between the npc and an object depending on their size.

I could be wrong, just a shot in the dark.

setup such as:

Code:

if(npcFollowing = 1 && npcWalking = 1) {
if (withinDis(npc.absX, npc.absY, tileX, tileY, npcSize) {
npcCanMove = true;
} else {
npcCanMove = false;
}

once again, a shot in the dark. This wont work without many modifications.

Hmm dont really understand what you are meaning other than you are wanting me to setup the NPC size through a config file and there loading the NPC size in my method to read if the NPC is close to the object that it doesnt go through it depending on its size..

i get it sort of but wouldnt know how to do it. Im asking that here.

i gave you a base code, it really wouldn't be hard to get that to work if you know what your doing. i'll probably end up adding it to my server soon enough anyways

Possibly something like this:

Code:

	if (npcSize == 3) {
		if (tileX != npcX + 3 && tileY != npcY + 3 || tileY != npcY - 3 && tileY != npcY - 3) {
			npcCanWalk = true;
		} else {
			if (tileX != npcX > 4 && tileY != npcY > 4 || tileY != npcY < 2 && tileY != npcY < 2) {
				npcCanWalk = false;
	}

and so forth, for each npc size.

I get it now. So pretty much do something like that for each NPC size?

wouldn't just putting npcSize and npcSize+1 instead of 4 checks be better?

**Jakey** · 03-23-2010, 06:58 PM

how would it check better if it was 1 then 4?

Get a list of npc sizes.
