[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.63] [mobs]

[SFENCE]

@SFENCE - So effectively randomizing the attack time, speed and damage ?

The self.arrow_override() is checked for every single arrow so that if the function inside the mob is changed, the arrows change too e.g.

https://codeberg.org/tenplus1/mobs_mons ... onster.lua

Precisely, I would like to randomize the direction of the arrow. For it, I need the ability to control all speed/velocity axes somehow.

Thanks for the punch_interval integration.

- Add Spanish translation to Mob_Horse.
- Set animation to "stand" when dismounting.

@Nininik - If you need further examples to ride a mob check out Mob Horse.

Dosent say anything about flying mobs

[TenPlus1]

@SFENCE - Currently the only arrow movement flag is setting 'homing' to true in mob definition so it follows the player when in sight. I'll need to have a good think about alternative flags for controlling arrow movement and offset.

@Nininik - The mobs:drive on line:81 can be changed to mobs.drive(self, "walk", "stand", true, dtime) so that jumping makes you fly upwards and sneak makes you fly downwards.

Sure. My attempt now is to add some kind of imprecision to arrow.

So something like:

Code: Select all

function on_projectile_fired(obj)
    local vel = obj:get_velocity()
    local speed = vector.length(vel)
    local rot = {
        x = math.random() * math.pi * imprecision_coef, 
        y = math.random() * math.pi * imprecision_coef, 
        z = 0, 
    }

    local new_dir = vector.rotate(vector.normalize(vel), rot)

    obj:set_velocity(vector.multiply(new_dir, speed))
 end

[TenPlus1]

@SFENCE - We can already use arrow_override to do this e.g.

Code: Select all

arrow_override = function(self)
	self.velocity = 6
	self.damage = 3

	core.after(0.1, function(self) -- wait a fraction for arrow to begin then change direction

		if not obj then return end -- just to be sure it's still there
		local vel = self.object:get_velocity()
		local imprecision_coef = 0.1
		local speed = vector.length(vel)
		local rot = {
			x = math.random() * math.pi * imprecision_coef, 
			y = math.random() * math.pi * imprecision_coef, 
			z = 0, 
		}

		local new_dir = vector.rotate(vector.normalize(vel), rot)

		self.object:set_velocity(vector.multiply(new_dir, speed))

	end, self)
end

[Nininik]

Well, the function signature is this:

Code: Select all

mobs.drive(self, move_animation, stand_animation, can_fly, dtime)

...so I think this should work:

Code: Select all

mobs.drive(self, "fly", "stand", true, dtime)

This should replace the mobs.fly call entirely. It's untested, but let me know if it works out.

Yes it successfully worked 🥳

- Increase DM fireball damage to 2.

[SFENCE]

@TenPlus1:

Thanks for the tip. Looks to be a little hacky, but it looks to be working well.

[TenPlus1]

- Fish in mobs_water now flop towards nearby water when on land.

[TenPlus1]

- Add 'can_spawn_protect' flag to mobs:register_egg so that certain mobs can be spawned inside protected areas.
- Set above setting to True for mob_horse so players can spawn their horses in protected areas to ride.

[TenPlus1]

- Dont attack if dead or running away.

[TenPlus1]

- Tweak pathfinding.

I got this message. I have Luanti 5.14.0. Let me know if you need any more info from me.

@Don - Just to check, are you using the updated pmobs mod from my git page ? The error doesnt match up with the line numbers ?

I used the link from the spoiler list on the original post.

[TenPlus1]

Sadly that mod hasn't been updated in the longest time and the very last post in the thread links to the reworked version on my git page.

I see the issue now. I got the latest now and they work. You need to update the links i the original post.

[TenPlus1]

The original post isnt mine to update unfortunately, I could only add a new link as the last post.

Can't they give the thread to you? You are the mob man. Or you could start a new thread for it.

As a forum mod, it would depend on if TenPlus1 forked pmobs or is considered the successor maintainer to CProgrammerRu. If it's a fork, I'd rather TenPlus1 starts a new thread and we move the old one to Old Mods.
