When player scores a goal, GoalFunc is called. Is it possible to warp the same ball in that function?

When ball 0 is scored and i try to warp it with PlaceBall(), nothing happends. If i try same thing with any other ball, ball will get warped. I don't have that warping problem outside GoalFunc.

Code: Show/Hide

/* do callbacks before spawning */
DO_CBS(CB_GOAL, arena, GoalFunc, (arena, p, g->ballid, g->x, g->y));

/* send ball update */
if (bd->state != BALL_ONMAP)
{
   /* don't respawn ball */
}
else if (pbd->goaldelay == 0)
{
   /* we don't want a delay */
   SpawnBall(arena, bid);
}
else
{
   /* phase it, then set it to waiting */
   phase_ball(arena, bid);
   bd->state = BALL_WAITING;
   bd->carrier = NULL;
   bd->time = TICK_MAKE(current_ticks() + pbd->goaldelay);
}

If i understood right, it's not possible warp that ball in GoalFunc.

Is there better way to warp it after scoring than having timer function that will be called every second?

change balls.c and recompile, then post the change to the svn.

Only thing that came in to my mind was to move the DO_CBS line last in that function. It didn't work. What did you exactly mean by changing balls.c? Editing or replacing with other balls.c? Also, what is svn?

I apologise for having to ask this, but did you recompile the balls module after you made the change and put it in your bin folder and used the new one by editing modules.conf?

subversion(svn) is a version control system, which is basically a way of organizing a large progamming project so multiple people can easily work on it (the project is asss, in this case).

Looks like i have a lot to learn now.

How do i recompile a core module? Do i have to do own project for it and then include balls.c and balls.h in it? There's no balls.dll, so what file is that module in?

How do i send version number to subversion? If i edit balls module, will it be a problem, if i make the module for someone's zone?

I didn't find information in dev guide or in asss wiki after a short search.

Yeah make your own project with balls.c and balls.h (you may also need util, which needs to link to pthreads). You make balls.dll as normal, then in modules.conf change the line:

balls

to

balls:balls

as written in modules.conf, modules without a preceeding .dll file are compiled right into the executable. Another resource you might use is arnk's vs.net build of asss: https://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=6519.

When distributing, you'll need to distribute your balls module with whatever module you're making, or it won't work... As for the subversion thing, I dunno

Making my own balls module went fine and PlaceBall() works now. Thanks!

Where i need arnk's asss build?

you don't need it, it's just helpful for certain modules cause it has everything you need.
