Homunculus ASPD/Dancing Tweak

[Myew Gelato]

The guide says:

Nah open the AI file in the USER_AI folder using notepad.

Then findChange this:

if (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
OnATTACK_ST ()
end

And change it

To this:
local zx, zy = GetV( V_POSITION, MyEnemy )
if (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
OnATTACK_ST ()
Move(MyID,zx+1,zy)
Move(MyID,zx-1,zy)
end
if (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
OnATTACK_ST ()
Move(MyID,zx,zy+1)
Move(MyID,zx,zy-1)
end

But AI.lua is:

Code: [Select]

if (MyState == IDLE_ST) then
OnIDLE_ST()
elseif (MyState == CHASE_ST) then
OnCHASE_ST()
elseif (MyState == EVADE_ST) then
OnEVADE_ST()
elseif (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
OnATTACK_ST()
elseif (MyState == FOLLOW_ST) then
OnFOLLOW_ST()
elseif (MyState == BUGPOSI_ST) then
OnBUGPOSI_ST()
How can I implement this for my Lif? Do I need to use a different AI than MirAI? I tried AzzyAI once but it didn't work on our server with my Lif. (may have been before the switch/updates)

My suggestion would be to take this part of that code:

Code: [Select]

elseif (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
OnATTACK_ST()
And take it to the top, so the code now looks like this:

Code: [Select]

        if (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
OnATTACK_ST()
        elseif (MyState == IDLE_ST) then
OnIDLE_ST()
elseif (MyState == CHASE_ST) then
OnCHASE_ST()
elseif (MyState == EVADE_ST) then
OnEVADE_ST()
elseif (MyState == FOLLOW_ST) then
OnFOLLOW_ST()
elseif (MyState == BUGPOSI_ST) then
OnBUGPOSI_ST()
Afterwards you may insert the suggested code so it will look something like this:

Code: [Select]

       local zx, zy = GetV( V_POSITION, MyEnemy )
        if (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
                OnATTACK_ST ()
                Move(MyID,zx+1,zy)
                Move(MyID,zx-1,zy)
        elseif (MyState == IDLE_ST) then
OnIDLE_ST()
elseif (MyState == CHASE_ST) then
OnCHASE_ST()
elseif (MyState == EVADE_ST) then
OnEVADE_ST()
elseif (MyState == FOLLOW_ST) then
OnFOLLOW_ST()
elseif (MyState == BUGPOSI_ST) then
OnBUGPOSI_ST()
Hopefully it works as coded, if not, writing the extension into the actual OnAttack_ST() code might be necessary.

my brain is bleeding @_@ to this

Yeah, LUA code is nothing pretty to look at for non-coders (well, it's not pretty to look at for most coders as well, but yeah @_@). Thankfully MirAI's stuff is structured well, so it's easy enough to tinker with.

An alternative way of using the code snippet:

Code: [Select]

       if (MyState == IDLE_ST) then
OnIDLE_ST()
elseif (MyState == CHASE_ST) then
       OnCHASE_ST()
elseif (MyState == EVADE_ST) then
                OnEVADE_ST()
        elseif (MyState == ATTACK_ST) then
                OnATTACK_ST()
                local zx, zy = GetV( V_POSITION, MyEnemy )
                Move(MyID,zx+1,zy)
                Move(MyID,zx-1,zy)
elseif (MyState == FOLLOW_ST) then
       OnFOLLOW_ST()
        elseif (MyState == BUGPOSI_ST) then
                OnBUGPOSI_ST()

This is in case you don't like the idea of messing around with MirAI's call order.

Edit: Fixed to accomodate original coding. *dumbass*

So dancing is working again 

[Kibou]

I haven't tested the code recently myself, but I can give it a try today. I know it worked for me some years ago when I manually had to edit the dancing code in myself at some point.

make a not pad and copy/past the following



--------------------------------------------------
-- Fast attack Mod by Des, aka Zenia-chan
--------------------------------------------------
-- Your Homunculus will move while attacking
-- and can attack faster. However, it will not
-- recover HP/SP while attacking, due to these
-- movements.
--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
function ModInit()
-- plugin initialization
--------------------------------------------------
StdOnATTACK_ST = OnATTACK_ST
OnATTACK_ST = FastOnATTACK_ST

end

--------------------------------------------------
function FastOnATTACK_ST()
--------------------------------------------------
local zx, zy = GetV( V_POSITION, MyEnemy )
StdOnATTACK_ST ()
Move(MyID,zx+1,zy)
Move(MyID,zx-1,zy)
StdOnATTACK_ST ()
Move(MyID,zx,zy+1)
Move(MyID,zx,zy-1)
end




name the note pad FastAttack_Mod save in your User_AI folder then open your mir ai config click on the tab Extra and click on FastAttack_Mod when you log on turn on user ai and your done ur pet will attack faster by constantly moving to remove delay

[Kibou]

Ah, thanks much aone, I'll test this out later today as well. =)

Does this have to be saved as a specific file type?

[aone]

.lua I think. Gotta check when I get home.

.lua I think. Gotta check when I get home.

Yeah, it has to be .lua for it to show up in the extra tab.  Tried it myself.

[Myew Gelato]

Wow... do I feel stupid. I looked in my AI folder and it turns out I already had FastAttack_Mod.lua in there. /facepalm Buuut, my Lif wasn't dancing with it. Where and when did I get this, I don't remember. Turns out I didn't have the mod activated in MirAI. Many thanks for helping me solve that, she's dancing around Les beautifully now. ^^ I tested the mod Kibou rewrote and it also worked well.

[Kibou]

Goodie =) Glad we were able to help~

[DreamerP]

I still have my Lif AI saved I deleted Miranda when we changed since the AIs weren't working I guess I'll load it again
