Accurate icon bops

[harsh warren]

I might be the only person to notice or really to say something about it but usually i see roblox fnf games "replicate" other engine's icon bounces when it turns out to just be the same for the most part.

Im pretty sure this is possible as well bc the EXE icon bop was decently accurate, I also know that the kade engine one is basically just the week 6 and below base game engine, just that the framerate makes it look faster due to lack of elapsed time, but it doesnt go for 1 frame. Idk if this is good or not as nobody really see details and seeing it inaccurate bothers them.

I made a mockup to replicate how it is in P:AFN compared to the actual engines.

didnt send the gif oops

no wonder why they feel off to me

i have an odd feeling it might just be a difference with how haxe vs roblox deal with things, because i copied the math 1:1 from the source code itself (it isn't a recreation, its a direct port)

i will look into it later though to see if i can get it more accurate but i dont know if there's much i can do about it

the most notable difference though is anchor points

in afternight, all the bops start from center by default

while most engines make it left/right edge of icon to make them bop away from each other

you can see it in the fnf legacy one

[harsh warren]

I think this is possible by messing with the anchor points on the imagelabel

And as i said with kade its basically the same with legacy fnf as well, just faster due to 120 fps instead of old fnf’s 60

[wraith hedge]

i know

the thing is, not for us

we use a custom sprite library minz built

we can do it, but it is annoying and modcharts might fuck with it

[harsh warren]

Oh odd

[wraith hedge]

the only icon bops in the game that do mess with it are golden apple and i think sonic.exe

[harsh warren]

Yea

iirc you can also replicate it by moving on the Y- axis

[wraith hedge]

not really

well, you can

but it'll look different

its not exactly the same

[harsh warren]

I only meant inaccurate by it just looks like the psych bop

[wraith hedge]

^ this stands though, im not gonna go mess with the anchoring system (our game also rotates around that origin so some icons might fuck up) but ill see what i can do about the bopping itself

[harsh warren]

Fair

[wraith hedge]

fnf legacy might just be psych though it was made before i got here so i wouldnt know

so ill check

[harsh warren]

just do what yall did with the exe bop

it basically moves on the y-axis

[wraith hedge]

exe uses anchor points but only because it doesn't rotate at all

any bop that rotates will fuck up if we include the anchor points

including modcharts

because while haxe can rotate around itself while it has an anchor point, we cannot

[harsh warren]

I thought the system was completely different than that

my bad

[wraith hedge]

yeah i cant really blame you it is kind of stupid sometimes LOL

[harsh warren]

Like i tried making roblox fnf engines but i dont use studio so like im over here contemplating what folder to use for shit (only thing i used studio alot was for making realistic ceiling fan models from 2017-2023)

like mf replicated storage or whatever

Im usually willing to have someone help me expand my lua knowledge to roblox as its a little different

[wraith hedge]

yeah

[harsh warren]

Only lua shit i did mostly was for my 2 year old mod and im still updating it

[wraith hedge]

to be fair our systems a lot more advanced than just using roblox instances (sprite class, character class, both being extremely complicated and a lot more advanced than base roblox images & characters) but it comes at a cost of needing to figure out stuff yourself sometimes

[harsh warren]

I might try and do something for that, for now i still have to make this stupid hotfix for my mod when i get home

[harsh warren]

reason being i deadass forgot ppl play fnf mods with middle scroll, so after the solo section in this song happened it looked like this
