[Solved] itemActionComponent/secondaryAction problem

[Blichew]

There's this ItemAction (base) Component for Item Component on script-reference page:
http://www.grimrock.net/modding/scripti ... nComponent

I was wondering if anyone tried doing something with it - looking through the option it should be possible to twist secondaryAction a bit to achieve something interesting (there's this getBuildUp() and so on) like the longer you hold the button the better the effect. Is this even possible ?

:EDIT:

I went a bit different way with:

Code: Select all

			secondaryAction = {function()
				local luck = math.random(10)
				if luck > 2 then
					return "doubleShot0"
				else
					return "doubleShot1"
				end
			end},

I tried also without "{" and "}" on secondaryAction =, still no luck.
Here's whole item definition:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "twostringbow",
	baseObject = "base_item",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "assets/models/items/short_bow.fbx",
		},
		{
			class ="Item",
			uiName = "Two-String Bow",
			gfxIndex = 13,
			GfxIndexPowerAttack = 466,
			secondaryAction = function()
				local luck = math.random(10)
				if luck > 2 then
					return "doubleShot0"
				else
					return "doubleShot1"
				end
			end,
			weight = 2.7,
			impactSound = "impact_blade",
			traits = { "bow", "missile_weapon" },
			description = "Short Bow that can spit two arrows at a same time."
		},
		{
			class = "RangedAttack",
			attackPower = 5,
			accuracy = 10,
			Ammo = "arrow",
			attackSound = "swipe_bow",
			cooldown = 2.0,
			baseDamageStat = "dexterity",
			damageType = "physical",
		},
		{
			class = "RangedAttack",         
			name = "doubleShot0",
			uiName = "Tripple Shot",
			Ammo = nil,
			--repeatCount = 1,
			attackPower = 10,
			attackSound = "swipe_special",
			baseDamageStat = "dexterity",
			damageType = "physical",
			chainAction = "doubleShot1",
			chainActionDelay = 0.1,
			cooldown = 4.0,
			energyCost = 5,
			onAttack = function(self, champion, slot, chainIndex)
				hudPrint(champion.name.." shot one extra arrow out of nowhere !")
			end,
		},
		{
			class = "RangedAttack",         
			name = "doubleShot1",
			uiName = "Double Shot",
			Ammo = "arrow",
			--repeatCount = 1,
			attackPower = 10,
			attackSound = "swipe_special",
			baseDamageStat = "dexterity",
			damageType = "physical",
			chainAction = "doubleShot2",
			chainActionDelay = 0.1,
			cooldown = 3.0,
			energyCost = 5,
		},
		{
			class = "RangedAttack",         
			name = "doubleShot2",
	 --     uiName = "Double Shot",
			Ammo = "arrow",
			--repeatCount = 1,
			attackPower = 10,
			attackSound = "swipe_special",
			baseDamageStat = "dexterity",
			damageType = "physical",
	--		cooldown = 3.0,
			energyCost = 5,
		},
	},
}

Looking forward to your ideas

Bumping with my further tries:

:EDIT: Nevermind, it's working now. I don't know what was wrong.

I tried with onAttack funcction of AttackChain:

Code: Select all

		{
			class = "RangedAttack",         
			name = "doubleShot0",
			uiName = "Double/Triple Shot",
			Ammo = "arrow",
			attackPower = 10,
			attackSound = "swipe_special",
			baseDamageStat = "dexterity",
			damageType = "physical",
			chainAction = "doubleShot2",
			chainActionDelay = 0.1,
			cooldown = 4.0,
			energyCost = 5,
			onAttack = function(self, champion, slot, chainIndex)
				if math.random(10) > 2 then
					print("Got lucky:::")
                                        self:setChainAction("doubleShot1")
				else
					print("Unlucky")
				end
			end,
		},

I'm using self:setChainAction(string) because self.go.id returns item id, so self should be this ItemActionComponent of class "RangedAttack"

Did anyone try messing up with item customization this much ?

So the real question remains: can you modify object properties dynamically or does everything has to be done inside hooks, like onAttack ?

[petri]

Sure you can!

[Blichew]

Sure you can!

to rephrase: in object definition:

Code: Select all

         secondaryAction = function()
            local luck = math.random(10)
            if luck > 2 then
               return "doubleShot0"
            else
               return "doubleShot1"
            end
         end,

this won't work (judging from my observations). Or I'm just doing something wrong ?

[petri]

I meant yes you can change objects properties dynamically. E.g. setSecondaryAction()
