Shi's Mystery Script Help Thread!

An Idea I have for my mode is that my role is immune a.k.a unaffected to all weapons and items except a special custom weapon I plan to make. My idea is basically, a Ghost that is repelled by charms (Damaged) and is only affected by said weapon. Is such a thing possible? You've been a big help thus far, so if it isn't, it's not the end of the world. Thanks again. :3

I will address missrinrin first.

Her question was basically:

How do I make a role unable to be damage by weapons ;and how do I make that role only able to be able to be damaged from a certain weapon?

noattacking(killer,1); -This is LITERALLY all you need to make a person unattackable. It's one of the basic functions listed under Kamuna's commands. It stops you from being attacked, yet you can attack. The 1 can be toggled off with a 0 command if you wish. The issue is feathers/ syringes can be used against people with this on. It's not a hundred percent workable.

noattack(killer,1); - This verb does the opposite of the noattacking command. It stops that role from being able to attack which can be toggled on and off. Usually I put no attacking and no attack on the same role to help balance.

BUT, your option of allowing that role to be damaged another way can help balance it out.

I do not know a way to bypass the no attack thing with any custom weapon. The only other way I suggest is making only a certain role able to see/ thus attack them.

This can be done with these codes , although I still regret I can not fully answer your desire:
invisibility(killer,1);
see_invisible(customrole1,1);

With this the killer is invisible and only the one you want able to fight them can see/ attack the being. I will add more later on if I know how to fix it.

Now to Egil's question.

How can I make a role immune to tasers/ feathers/ things like that?

Tasers/ feathers, there is no way to make a role fully immune to these and not immune to other objects.

The taser's coding treats it like a weapon that does 1000 stam damage or so. The only way to stop this is to stop a person from being attacked, which does not fit your goal.

The feather if my theory is right is treated as a on use = force throw causing that dragon to be tossed. That dragon is a misc classed object which right now has no immunity commands to evade.

My advice is to seek out a delete taser/ black feather code from your mode, which I will put the info on how to do this as soon as I have the exact coding you need.

Note: I will see if I can make what you both happen. However, I hope my current answers will work for now.

This prove a difference between us Kamuna.

The average person will read what you said and be like:

Okay... I need something like: OnAttackedcheck if weapon = taser; if taser = noattacking (customrole1,1) afterClick noattacking(customrole1,0)

That code would not do a thing even if the basics are there.

Kamuna, if you could actually type out a bit of the code and explain what each part does as I did to help those who have no training in codes.

However, I will do my best to work out a working code based on the info you gave for them Kamuna... though I have never touched those functions in my previous modes/experience yet.

As for the code repository, I like that idea! I will see if I can get some time together to list function I made that works, and add to it based on questions in this thread for whatever people may wish to do.

Another question of mine is the ability for custom weapons to do Grief damage instead on HP damage?, I know this was touched upon quite a while ago, but I thought I'd bring it up again because I feel this is something that is essential to my mode. Basically, weapons just cause Grief instead of damage. Thanks again. :3

Veemon

get_dir_to(Ref,Trg) where Ref is the object you wish to have as a starting point and Trg is the target object. Please note that this returns the direction in integer form. If you know binary, you can figure out what directions are what when you know what BYOND's NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST direction numbers. Look those up.

This function is better than Cookie's and BYOND's default methods, as it uses angles rather than position to get the direction.  BYOND handles it similar to Cookie's, just in integer form, while Misuterii's handles it with the proper math.

notase(who,num=1)
nofeather(who,num=1)

These commands are added to the function's list Egil! Now you have easier access to what you want.

Until further notice, I, Shi Musume, shall no longer check on this thread/ give advice when help is asked.

If anyone else wishes to step up and help posters here, do it, I will not get in your way.
