SUB_regen... its there but wont do it

[MeTcHsteekle]

i have been doing teh AIcafe` stuff but when i do the monster item roam it has a sub regen in it and frik gui has no idea what i doing say like this :

Code: Select all

//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
void() bot_grab_items =
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{
   if (self.goalentity == world)
      return;

   if (vlen(self.origin - self.goalentity.origin) <= 70)
      {
         self.goalentity.solid = SOLID_NOT;
         self.goalentity.model = string_null;
         self.goalentity.nextthink = time + 20;
         self.goalentity.think = SUB_regen;
         if (self.goalentity.healamount)
            sound(self, CHAN_ITEM,"items/health1.wav", 1,ATTN_NORM);
         else if (self.goalentity.weapon)
            sound(self, CHAN_ITEM,"weapons/pkup.wav", 1,ATTN_NORM);
         else
            sound(self, CHAN_ITEM,"items/armor1.wav", 1,ATTN_NORM);
         self.goalentity = world;
      }
};


ya and i get this warning

ooooh a 505 :p gross
i am doing exactly as it says in tutorial and keeps getting this

i also get a diffrent one with the knight and the monster improvements where it stops the game and gives me a host error, but thats for lator [im still new to this modding..and quake in general][/quote]

progs.src determines the order the compiler actually compiles the qc files.

When a function (or anything really) is unknown, it means it hasn't been declared/defined yet.

So in this case, you're trying to use SUB_regen before it is actually declared, meaning that your bot file is being compiled BEFORE SUB_regen even exists (items.qc would be further down in your progs.src)

To fix this, you can let the compiler know what the function is, and that it will be defined later on by doing:

Code: Select all

void() SUB_regen;

Put this above your bot_grab_items function. Be careful not to do this for functions that don't actually exist, because the compiler will spit errors at you more than a camel.

haha see! It's watching you MeTcHsteekle O_O
Even has the spit ready.

[MeTcHsteekle]

heh gross

thanks guys it worked i moved items above ai cos i got more errors its a nice one cos the monsters that are to guard stay put most of time and the "fillers" roam

[MeTcHsteekle]

ok now gots everything roaming round wooooooo

i guess somthing to do with this

Code: Select all

void()   knight_run1   =[   $runb1,      knight_run2   ] {
if (random() < 0.2)
   sound (self, CHAN_VOICE, "knight/idle.wav", 1,  ATTN_IDLE);
ai_run(16);};
void()   knight_run2   =[   $runb2,      knight_run3   ] {ai_run(20);};
void()   knight_run3   =[   $runb3,      knight_run4   ] {ai_run(13);};
void()   knight_run4   =[   $runb4,      knight_run5   ] {ai_run(7);};
void()   knight_run5   =[   $runb5,      knight_run6   ] {ai_run(16);};
void()   knight_run6   =[   $runb6,      knight_run7   ] {ai_run(20);};
void()   knight_run7   =[   $runb7,      knight_run8   ] {ai_run(14);};
void()   knight_run8   =[   $runb8,      knight_run1   ] {ai_run(6);};


i guess i could replace the knight completlty with the grumbler [not init yet] but i happen to like the knight, so i dont know wut ta do

oh ya the tutorial is http://minion.planetquake.gamespy.com/t ... tutor2.htm

meh thinks...somthing

just ran it again and got similar but diffrent

this time i also have http://minion.planetquake.gamespy.com/t ... stmons.htm on it also .. damn u knight why do u have to be so cool but not work

[MeTcHsteekle]

perhaps there is a way to have the knoght void these feature?

like if classname == kinght

return?

i just noticed this in the frikgui

This callstack means ai_run in ai.qc tried to call a function that doesn't exist. Likely, it's one of the .th_* fields you didn't fill in (ala th_pain or something.

As far as the warnings, they all look normal.

[MeTcHsteekle]

...ok its only happing with the knights tho

Code: Select all

/*

ai_run

The monster has an enemy it is trying to kill

void(float dist) ai_run =
{
   local   vector   delta;
   local   float   axis;
   local   float   direct, ang_rint, ang_floor, ang_ceil;
   
   movedist = dist;
// see if the enemy is dead
   if (self.enemy.health <= 0)
   {
      self.enemy = world;
   // FIXME: look all around for other targets
      if (self.oldenemy.health > 0)
      {
         self.enemy = self.oldenemy;
         HuntTarget ();
      }
      else
      {
         if (self.movetarget)
            self.th_walk ();
         else
            self.th_stand ();
         return;
      }
   }

   self.show_hostile = time + 1;      // wake up other monsters

      self.search_time = time + 5;

   if (coop && self.search_time < time)
   {
      if (FindTarget ())
         return;

   if(time < self.enemy.attack_finished)
      {

         return;
      }

   if(self.health < 25)
      {
         ai_back();
         self.th_missile();
         return;
      }

   if (self.attack_state == AS_MISSILE)
   {

      ai_run_missile ();
      return;
   }
   if (self.attack_state == AS_MELEE)
   {

      ai_run_melee ();
      return;
   }

   if (CheckAnyAttack ())
      return;               // beginning an attack

   makevectors(self.angles);
   self.flags = self.flags - (self.flags & FL_ONGROUND);
   self.velocity = v_forward * 200;
};



it seemes to happen when it attacks and has a corilation with the run anim. sequence


hmmm or i think, as i skimm thru knight qc it has no missile attack but only a melee and seeing the code above i se missile and run r liknked by ai_run_missile (); but then there is the melee right after that...so it cant be a problem? other wise soldier would crash it to because there is no melee for hmm :/ ill keep looking thru tho

[FrikaC]

...ok its only happing with the knights tho

Okay the three th_ functions it calls are th_missile, th_walk and th_stand. Look in the spawn function for the enemy (monster_knight?) and see if those are filled in with something.

[MeTcHsteekle]

i think these are them and this is wut i got

Code: Select all

   self.health = 75;

   self.th_stand = knight_stand1;
   self.th_walk = knight_walk1;
   self.th_run = knight_run1;
   self.th_melee = knight_atk1;
   self.th_pain = knight_pain;
   self.th_die = knight_die;
   
   walkmonster_start ();

   Gyro_Object_Activate(self, 190);
   Gyro_Object_SetBouyancy(self, 190*1.2);

ugh grabed a bit too much ill look for more of these and compare i
guess

//edit, i killed the problem

what caused the crash was when a monsters health was 25 or lower it would retreat and shoot at same time but fer some odd reason the knight does not have a th._missile so it coulden't shoot so it read that first i guess and messed it up

so i just removed the retreat {or ai_back} completly, thanks for helping me look at the th's
