I'm having trouble with fake players. I can create the fake player, which shows up on the player list but i can never see it. Here is the code:

Code: Show/Hide int InitializeTurrets(Arena *arena) {       adata *ad = P_ARENA_DATA(arena, adkey);             int i;       for(i = 0;i < ad->turret_count;i++)       {             TurretData *td = &(ad->turrets[i]);             Player *fp;                         char s[16];             snprintf(s, 16, "Team%d:Turret%d", td->team, i);                         td->FakePlayer = fp = fake->CreateFakePlayer(s,arena,td->ship,td->team);                         struct C2SPosition *pos;                         lm->Log(L_INFO,"<%s> Check 1","complex_turret");             pos = &td->pos;             pos->type = C2S_POSITION;             pos->x = td->x;             pos->y = td->y;             pos->rotation = 0;             pos->xspeed = pos->yspeed = 0;            pos->status = 0;            pos->bounty = 0;            pos->energy = pos->extra.energy = 1000;            lm->Log(L_INFO,"<%s> Check 2","complex_turret");                       //lets get config here            /*td->weapon = W_PROXBOMB;            pos->weapon.type = 0;            pos->weapon.level = 0;            pos->weapon.shraplevel = 0;            pos->weapon.shrap = 0;            pos->weapon.alternate = 0;*/                       lm->Log(L_INFO,"<%s> Created Turret %d","complex_turret",i);                       game->FakePosition(td->FakePlayer, &td->pos, 22);       }       lm->Log(L_INFO,"<%s> Initialized turrets","complex_turret"); }

also when i do "sizeof(pos)" for arg 3 in game->FakePosition, it gives a bad packet error in game len=4.

so i need to fix the pos packet to make it "good" and imagely show the player on screen...

sizeof(struct C2SPosition*) is 4
sizeof(struct C2SPosition) is 22

pos is a struct C2SPosition*... do sizeof(struct C2SPosition) instead


try changing

Code: Show/Hide pos->x = td->x; pos->y = td->y;

to

Code: Show/Hide pos->x = 512 * 16; pos->y = 512 * 16;

and look near the center of the map

You need to call FakePosition in a loop, otherwise you'll only ever get 1 packet. If you load the module on arena start up, you'll never get a chance to see the turret.

Smong: That must be the problem, i was using tiles not pixels :/. td->x and td->y equaled 512.

Dr. Brain:Yes i will do a loop, but i wasn't aware that you need to keep sending packets inorder for it to stay visible. Thank You.

Hmmmm...

There seems to be trouble with it, as the players still aren't showing up.

Anybody care to look?

[Samapico]

I looked... but not knowing anything about ASSS I didn't find anything
The timer thing gets executed how often?

I'm not sure. All i know is autoturret.c uses the same method, so probably enough :/.

Did you try compiling it? I get warnings when i try to compile it and it is referring to game->FakePosition...arguement 2 i think, which is a big deal.

smong?

Before you posted i actually switched to timers. Initally i had timers, then switched to the callback since that's what autoturret.c had. as i said, i had already switched back again to timers.

i've gotten at least one of the fake players to display. here's the deal.

only the last turret is displayed.

for instance if i have this config file ("complex_turret.conf"):

Code: Show/Hide [Main] TurretCount=4 [Turret0] Region=4 Team=0 Ship=1 Coordinates=512,512 [Turret1] Region=4 Team=1 Ship=2 Coordinates=530,512 [Turret2] Region=4 Team=0 Ship=3 Coordinates=530,530 [Turret3] Region=4 Team=1 Ship=4 Coordinates=512,530

only Turret3 is displayed. They are always on freq 0, for some reason as well. if ship 4 is spider, than the ship is right, otherwise wrong. allthough they don't show up, the other 3 (turrets 0-2) are displayed in the player listbox but never are visible. when i attach to them, a turret green circle shows up where i was and nothing else.

[Smong]

I don't know about your other problems but Timer() is supposed to return 1.

The problem was that the position struct declared in struct turretdata was a pointer ( or had a * infront of the variable declaration) when it wasn't an array or pointer. it's working now.
