Hw i can add some delay on a area.... when the mob is walking
Nov 30 2008, 10:44 am
 
mob/var
    wdelay=1
    walk=0
area/swamp
    Enter(mob/O)
        If(istype(O,/mob))O.wdelay=2
area/normal
    Enter(mob/O)
        If(istype(O,/mob))O.wdelay=1
mob/Move()
    if(walk)return
    src.walk=1
    ..()
    sleep(src.wdelay)
    src.walk=0


Something like that, some sort of override to the Move system to include walk delays and then areas that entering them modify the delay.

Greetings Masterdan.

This maybe a little offtopic but I had a question, more like an opinion based question. What are your opinions on pixel-based movements? If you made the mob move less pixels than normal for a slowler walk and move more pixels for a faster walk, any ideas? Is it better to override the move system this way? Or should I do what everyone else does, which is sleep()?

Thanks Much.

It is a lot of work to do it that way, it may pay off but basically you need to ensure the network lag on your game is really low, basically it wont look all that great if you get a .5 second delay anyway right, anyway i read an interesting post about how the legend of zelda: a link to the past game handles pixel movement and i felt it was really really neat. If you use good math for pixel collision you could really break away from the mold and make a really neat byond game, I would be super thrilled to see somebody do it, I always have wanted to and I sort of played around with it with a driving demo i made but never a full scale game. So yeah, in summary go for it!

Show us the post o_O

I'd like to read it. The movement in that game is so smooth.
