Customized boost powers

[blackjacket]

Hey, sharing another power script..  I made custom boosts fo a bunch of characters using custom state swaps.  Made one for juggernaut called path of destruction (inspired of course by x-men legends 2):

in ffx2.py:

################################## JUGGERNAUT #####################################

def displacetopathdestruction(event):
   char=event.object
   POD=ffx.FFX_ObjectGetAttr(char,'pod')
   if POD==0:
      Object_SetGenericState(char,OBJSTATE_ATTACKBONUS,10000,0)
      bonus=0.0+Object_GetAttr(char,'attackBonus')
      Object_SetAttr(char,'attackBonus',bonus+1)
      ffx.FFX_SetMassFactor(char,20)
      ffx.FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'pod',1)
      ffx.FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'foot',1)
      ffx.RegTimer('footUpdate',0.5,0,char)
      ffx.RegTimer('removespeeddecrease',0.5,0,char)
      ffx.RegTimer('removePOD',10,0,char)

def removespeeddecrease(event):
   char=event.object
   if not Object_Exists(char):
      return
   POD=ffx.FFX_ObjectGetAttr(char,'pod')
   if POD==1:
      Object_SetSecondaryState(char,SCSTATE_SPEED_DECREASED,0,REMOVE_STATE)
      ffx.RegTimer('removespeeddecrease',0.5,0,char)

def removePOD(event):
   char=event.object
   if not Object_Exists(char):
      return
   POD=ffx.FFX_ObjectGetAttr(char,'pod')
   if POD==1:
      bonus=0.0+Object_GetAttr(char,'attackBonus')
      Object_SetAttr(char,'attackBonus',bonus-1)
      Object_SetGenericState(char,OBJSTATE_ATTACKBONUS,0,REMOVE_STATE)
      ffx.FFX_SetMassFactor(char,1)
      ffx.FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'pod',0)
      ffx.FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'foot',0)

also had to do the ffxcustom.py thing in ffx_carriers:
["juggernaut","displace","pathdestruction","JUG Path Of Destruction"],


plus:  had to prepare the heavyfooted portion:
def initfoot(char,update=0):
   if update==0:
      pos=Get_ObjectPos(char)
      ffx.FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'lastY',pos[1])
      ffx.FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'lastX',pos[0])

def footUpdate(event):
    char=event.object
    foot=FFX_ObjectGetAttr(char,'foot')
    if getByTemplate(char,FFX_HEAVYFOOTED_CUSTOM,3)==0: ### updated to check for flying customization 02/10/07-TMX
        flying=mlogreader.MLOG_IsFlying(char)
        if flying:
            return
    if Object_Exists(char)==0:
        return
    if foot==1:
        RegTimer('footUpdate',1,0,char)
    if Object_IsAlive(char)==0: ###! in FFvsTTR, character can get resurrected by hero point, restoration and zombie state
        return
    if Object_GetAttr(char,'speed')>9:
        return
    pos=Get_ObjectPos(char)
    dist=(pos[0]-FFX_ObjectGetAttr(char,'lastX'),pos[1]-FFX_ObjectGetAttr(char,'lastY'),0)
    FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'lastY',pos[1])
    FFX_ObjectSetAttr(char,'lastX',pos[0])
    if (dist[0]*dist[0]+dist[1]*dist[1]) > getByTemplate(char,FFX_HEAVYFOOTED_CUSTOM,2): #TMX 2007-02-11: * 5: Fixes error in distance, esp. for teleportation
        Trigger_Explosion(char,getByTemplate(char,FFX_HEAVYFOOTED_CUSTOM,1),-1)
        mypos=Get_ObjectPos(char)
        for o in Mission_GetDynamicObjects():
            if o!=char and Object_GetAttr(o,'mass')<210 and \
               (not (hasAttribute(o,'density control') or hasAttribute(o,'acrobatic') or hasAttribute(o,'acrobaticamateur')) ):
                pos=Get_ObjectPos(o)
                dx=pos[0]-mypos[0]
                dy=pos[1]-mypos[1]
                dz=pos[2]-mypos[2]
                r2=dx*dx+dy*dy
                if dz<20 and r2>625 and r2<2500:
                    Trigger_Force(o,0,0,1,Object_GetAttr(o,'mass')*100,TF_ABSOLUTE)

this is actually an attribute called foot..given to juggernaut through ffedit or multiattributing.  You can customize this boost all you want for different characters like bulldozer, rhino, hell even a 'rebound' power for luke cage.  Just gotta name the swap something different instead of pathdestruction...kudos

Pretty cool! It's nice to see someone pumping out some new attributes and swaps. Thanks. Actually, I've been trying to figure out a new way of simulating charging attacks by the slower characters, (Juggy, Bulldozer, etc.) rather than using the Speeding Bullet Power. This kind of gives me a different perspective on how I might be able to do it.
