#

I also added a print to tell you the framerates it will be using

#

So if that doesn't change it should be good

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

I'll see it later

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

btw if your 9 minute run wasn't your first run of nkg

#

it's probable that it was moving at more than 3x speed

#

you might be able to do even better now

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

it wasn't

#

it was like

#

the 3rd or 4th

#

So, can someone explain how this should be done:
I wanted to try and make a mod that makes the nail much longer when you equip Longnail
and Gradow nicely pointed out that there's this thing

ModHooks.Instance.SlashHitHook

That can be used. But it only works when you hit things and not all the time

#

Gradow said that I have to Hook the nail thing

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

Hook AfterAttack

#

Use reflection to get Herocontroller.slashComponent

#

Change stuff on it

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

what about? PlayerData.instance.nailRange

#

set that to any value you want when longnail is equipped

#

by doing a check for longnail?

#

maybe idk not a programmer either

#

might be the totally wrong way

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

Could work or it could be a dead variable

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

pretty sure thats a wrong var

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

Or it could require some FSM event

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

like nail damage doesn't actually change nail damage

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

It does if you send an event

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

well yeah

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

Ill check if its dead in dnspy

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

There's OnAttack and AfterAttack, what does each one do?

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

AfterAttack for this case

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

acutally idk

#

if it's alive it's only used in fsms

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

just use runtime detour on the nail controller class

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

NailSlash.scale will definitely work

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

that changes it hollowface

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

I was getting some stutters when I tested runtime detour hooks

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

and how do I check if Longnail is equipped?

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

            this.anim.Play(this.animName);```

#

this is how longnail is done

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

I'll have to have someone like ciplax with an absolute garbage computer test it

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

yeah, I know

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

To see if it's actually bad

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

it's in startslash

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

StartSlash is called immediately after AfterAttack

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

oh nvm

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

That's why you want to hook there

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

yeah

#

or I guess just NailSlash.scale

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

Yep

#

Use reflection to get slashComponent and up the scale

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

so if having both mantis and longnail makes it 40% bigger in both x and y direction it actually makes it 1.96 times bigger vs 1.56 times bigger of mantis alone and 1.32 times bigger of just longnail

#

so the total area of the hitbox almost doubles?

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

It's 1.25 mantis, 1.15 longnail, 1.4 both

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

yeah but those are size increases in both x and y direction

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

Eh

#

Upping it in the y direction hardly matters

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

which means the total area of the hitbox is 1.25x1.25, 1.15x1.15, or 1.4x1.4 ?

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

Total area of the nail isn't a good metric imo

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:12 AM

#

here

#

if (this.mantis && this.longnail)
{
base.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.scale.x * 1.4f, this.scale.y * 1.4f, this.scale.z);
this.anim.Play(this.animName + " M");
}
else if (this.mantis)
{
base.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.scale.x * 1.25f, this.scale.y * 1.25f, this.scale.z);
this.anim.Play(this.animName + " M");
}
else if (this.longnail)
{
base.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.scale.x * 1.15f, this.scale.y * 1.15f, this.scale.z);
this.anim.Play(this.animName);
}
else
{
base.transform.localScale = this.scale;
this.anim.Play(this.animName);
}

#

this is the thing about the MoP and Longnail

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:12 AM

#

It sure is

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:12 AM

#

I guess it helps if you're really bad at pogoing.

#

increase both height you can pogo at and the horizontal distance from the object

#

I'm gonna try it in path of pain some time

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

I wanted to try and make this

if (this.mantis && this.longnail)
{
base.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.scale.x * 1.4f, this.scale.y * 14f, this.scale.z);
this.anim.Play(this.animName + " M");
}
else if (this.longnail)
{
base.transform.localScale = new Vector3(this.scale.x * 1.15f, this.scale.y * 11.5f, this.scale.z);
this.anim.Play(this.animName);

#

but

#

I don't understand jackshit of coding stuff

#

I just look around and try udbnerstanding what each thing does

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

```csharp
Code here
```

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

and then I edit what I udnerstand

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

You'll have to store the original scale somewhere then multiply it by the numbers you want divided by the original numbers if it's equal to the original

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

doesn't seem to work for me

#

infinite grimm just dies as usual

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

did you fight NKG?

#

you need Grimmchild 4

#

and then go refight NKG

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

yeah i've killed nkg twice now

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

ok do you have modcommon

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

no whats with these dependancies

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

just modcommon and mod api

#

also use the latest dll i put in the discord it fixes an important bug

#

not a large one but an important one

#

ok updated the one on the github https://github.com/natis1/infinitegrimm/releases/tag/0.2.3

too lazy to make new release like I'm supposed to

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:20 AM

#

also, what's the code for Quickslash?

#

I wanna see it too

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:22 AM

#

It's just this in HeroController.DoAttack()

if (this.playerData.equippedCharm_32)
{
    this.attack_cooldown = this.ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME_CH;
}
else
{
    this.attack_cooldown = this.ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME;
}```

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:22 AM

#

and ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME_CH is?

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:23 AM

#

A float

#

It's assigned somewhere outside of the game code

#

Probably in editor

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

can it be modified?

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

Yeah

#

It should be const but it isn't

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

lol

#

maybe unity editor stuff isn't constant? or was it that way in the script itself?

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

i dumped the values for attackspeed

flat forum May 10, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

and can something like "ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME_CH; = ATTACK_COOLDOWN_TIME_CH; * 1.25f " be done

leaden hedge May 10, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

they are on the wiki

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:28 AM

Alt codes

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:28 AM

#

I do alt+shift+ ue8

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:28 AM

#

Alt+0232 apparently

#

è

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

ok that's like about the same number of keystrokes

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

I mean it's 5

#

That's not about the same, it just is the same

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

nah because with alt shift you're doing twice as much work with your left hand.

#

unless you don't have a numpad

in modlog

you can enable in game debugging with a string in your mod settings

solemn rivet May 10, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

so, I'm detouring the GameObjectIsNull fsmaction to find a certain gameobject for my mod

#

and this happens everytime I swing the nail:

#

[INFO]:[Berserker] - FSM GameObject Scenemap
[INFO]:[Berserker] - FSM GameObject TileMap Render Data```

#

these objects get checked if they're null

#

for some reason

#

well, those are actually FsmGameObjects

exotic venture May 10, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

wait so it checks if the scenery has changed?

#

so every time you swing the nail it checks if there's something to be destroyed?

solemn rivet May 10, 2018, 5:45 PM

I guess

I told it to print out the actual game objects

you could literally translate fury into a few lines of code (10 max) if you had access to all the resources

it has a "FadeGroup" component

zero width space has width on libreoffice

all fonts?

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 10:08 PM

also on discord but only in the message box not in the actual message

#

yes

#

I think the slash is the character for invalid characters but the slash is cutoff

this is on its own

also the discord message box I'm like half way on the first line right now

copper nacelle May 10, 2018, 10:11 PM

wtf

compact sedge May 10, 2018, 10:11 PM

yeah that's not 0 width

copper nacelle May 10, 2018, 10:11 PM

maybe that char isn't zero-width space

thought it was

#

this is zero-width

and it shows in the discord message box as zero width too

wait idk if that has any 0 widths

rain cedar May 10, 2018, 10:13 PM

Zero width spaces are useful

copper nacelle May 10, 2018, 10:14 PM

wow good site

#

i was literally searching zero width space and copying it

cause ctrl-shift-u for alt codes doesn't exist on windows

and i don't have a numpad

I should probably add that as a layer at some point

zero width spaces are so useful for doing things that shouldn't be done

so, this is how the berserkmod is atm

📎 BerserkMod.dll

#

it takes 2 seconds to enter into berserk mode

#

once it starts, your health drains at 1 mask/second, but you deal double damage

#

current issues:

#

during the first usage, you get no aura, sadly sadgrub

#

if you s&q, it stops working

#

also, there's no audio cue for the effect

solemn rivet May 11, 2018, 12:28 AM

oh, the trigger is the backspace button

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 1:31 AM

#

So how do I add options to the mod options menu?

#

currently I have options saved to a json file

#

after looking at example 3

#

but I want the player to be able to change options in game

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

too bad the steam moves

willow quarry May 11, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

the steam loops too

#

i took the video into blender and did some basic splicing

unless you have magic eyes it's a smooth loop sequence

kindred forum May 11, 2018, 2:04 AM

i have that exact same background running on wallpaper engine

willow quarry May 11, 2018, 2:04 AM

the only ones I could find on WP Engine were superwide (which isn't compatible with my monitor) and one that had the knight visible, which I didn't want

yeah mine has the knight visible

willow quarry May 11, 2018, 2:06 AM

actually, i have an idea

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

maybe it's just me but the only mod I see that has its own option menu is enemy randomizer so I guess I'll look into that is done

solemn rivet May 11, 2018, 2:10 AM

if you actually figure that out, I'm all ears

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

oh god nvm just looked at the enemy randomizer code

#

If I implement it that way nobody will be able to use my mod with any other mod that adds options because it just hardcodes an options menu button

#

at a specific location

solemn rivet May 11, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

oh

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

It's not bad it's just that I want my thing to work with other stuff so I guess I'll just stick to json until y'all add options to Modding API

#

as in more options than: mod enabled/disabled

I have a ping but there's nothing here

willow quarry May 11, 2018, 2:27 AM

it's because i edited the thing to upload a better version, one moment

It's not a standard playmaker action

it's specifically made for animations and stuff

I mean my mod's open source so I could tell you the variable to change

you just changed 1 variable and that's what happened?

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 4:56 AM

It looks like that video is two grimms

Definitely not one variable changed

flat forum May 11, 2018, 4:57 AM

It looks like there's 1 Grimm, but time between attacks has been set to like 0

copper nacelle May 11, 2018, 4:58 AM

1 grimm but all waits have died instantly

i think

and the attacks have been speed boosted a shit load

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 4:59 AM

#

Yeah actually there's never two grimms on screen

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 5:00 AM

there's only one grimm but I'm editing all the wait times using 3 variables which are generated by taking 1 variable and doing a linear transformation on it

and because I'm not a mathmatician I just plugged the matrix into wolfram alpha

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:02 AM

actually you should multiply

Convert.ToInt32 tbh

#

can't I add an implicit

copper nacelle May 11, 2018, 5:16 AM

(bool ? 1 : 0)

more ternary is always the answer

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:17 AM

I don't think there's an implicit bool to int

the one I need to resize

that's resized with Longnail and MoP

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:18 AM

slashComponent

#

It's an instance of NailSlash

flat forum May 11, 2018, 5:19 AM

someone said there's a PlayerData.instance.nailRange

copper nacelle May 11, 2018, 5:19 AM

#

iirc might not even be used

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:19 AM

#

Yeah doubt it does anything on its own

#

Maybe if you can figure out an event that makes it update

flat forum May 11, 2018, 5:20 AM

#

so, Herocontroller.slashComponent

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:20 AM

#

Yeah

flat forum May 11, 2018, 5:21 AM

#

and there's this gameObject.transform.

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 5:21 AM

#

umm actually I have a problem idk if anyone can help with.

for some reason waits in FSMs are all 0 when I load the scene.

#

so I could do 1 of 2 things. 1 I could hardcode in the starting wait times

#

or 2 I could uh figure something else out

#

so that's why the attacks are instant

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

you can force them into init

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

Something else meaning recode grimm as actual code

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

then read them

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

lol hell no

#

to seanpr

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

or you could just directly read the byte array

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 5:23 AM

#

if I force them into init would it spawn grimm early?

flat forum May 11, 2018, 5:23 AM

#

what does "gameObject.transform.localScale" do? it seems to work is a similar way as it's used in the original MoP/Quicks;ash code

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:23 AM

#

You don't need that

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 5:23 AM

#

just read the byte data

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:23 AM

#

Just change scale on the NailSlash

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 5:24 AM

#

you say just like that's the easy option

#

the easy option is hardcoding the times in and the slightly less easy option is trying to get the times to be set early

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 5:25 AM

#

int are actually pretty easy to read from byteData tbh

flat forum May 11, 2018, 5:25 AM

#

so, resizing of the nail when equipping charms should be

if (PlayerData.instance.equippedCharm_18)
then Herocontroller.slashComponent.scale = Herocontroller.slashComponent * 1.15f

else if (PlayerData.instance.equippedCharm_13)
then Herocontroller.slashComponent.scale = Herocontroller.slashComponent * 1.25f

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 5:25 AM

#

idk where they are position wise so I'd have to print them out first and scan them

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:25 AM

#

No

copper nacelle May 11, 2018, 5:26 AM

#

you can't multiply a component by a float

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:26 AM

#

slashComponent.scale

#

And you can't just multiply it, that would stack indefinitely

#

You need to store the original value on the first run

flat forum May 11, 2018, 5:26 AM

#

How?

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 5:26 AM

#

every state has byteData paramDataType, paramName, paramDataPos, paramByteDataSize to init each action

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:26 AM

#

It's just a Vector3

#

Save it into a Vector3 on your mod class

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 5:27 AM

#

so you just need to find the action that sets the variables

flat forum May 11, 2018, 5:31 AM

#

someone did it like this
Vector3(gameObject.transform.GetScaleX() * 5f, gameObject.transform.GetScaleY() * 5f ...

#

I'm confused

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 5:31 AM

You don't need to deal with the object transform at all

copper nacelle May 11, 2018, 5:47 AM

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:13 AM

launch the game once with it and it will make a file called InfiniteGrimmMod.GlobalSettings.json

in your saves folder

edit that and change the one bool value to true: IGHardModeEnabled

it makes the boss faster but it also lets you skip talking to regular grimm to save you time

I might remove balloon from the sped up attacks if it's impossible to dodge at those higher speeds

You need to store the original value on the first run
Save it into a Vector3 on your mod class
You need reflection to get slashComponent

How... I'm confused
Sorry

Hey Mickely

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

and a hook that works only when hitting things isn't what I want

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

ok nvm I thought you were using a reflection for one of your variables not for one of the game's variables

#

that makes more sense if the game's variables is set taht way.

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

also dont do that snippet every frame

#

only do the FieldInfo line once ever

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:33 PM

#

or do and have a screen-wide nail by second 3

#

because it will increase the length by 1.5x every frame

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

hmmm

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

no because you're going to do

if( modLength == null )
    modLength = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance)
nailLength = modLength * multiplier;

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

does the fieldinfo line persist across different scenes?

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

yes aslong as you keep a reference to it

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

so yes

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

as its nothing to do with unity or the game

#

its a feature of csharp

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

The HeroController.Instance

#

Herocontroller.slashComponent.Instance?

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

no slashComponent is private

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

Ok

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

you need the herocontroller instance

#

so you can use reflection on it

#

to get its private members

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

can you set any private variable this way in c#?

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

yes

#

including stuff in builtin libraries afaik

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:38 PM

#

Huh why is this a feature?

#

I mean it's useful for modding but what an odd thing to put in a programming language

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

won't GetValue(HeroController.Instance) give me all the info on HeroController related things?

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

no

#

fi takes a class and a varname

#

then you do fi.GetValue(class)

#

and it'll return the variable with varname from class

#

so

FieldInfo fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
GameObject = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance);

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

GameObject go = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(HeroController.Instance)```

#

I think idk that's kinda gross

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

no

#

don't do that

#

you have to cache fi

#

reflection is hella slow

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

C# doesn't have optimization?

#

rip

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

it doesn't automatically cache stuff for you no

#

no language does afaik

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

BUt ```
FieldInfo fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

yeah so when you need it again

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

so it will go away as soon as your function is over

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

you have to run .GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); again

#

which is slow

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

Why not do

private FieldInfo fi

and then in your code fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

#

That way you don't run reflection every time

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

ok so not your inline solution

#

that I just explicitly told you not to do

#

because reflection is very slow

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

I have no idea what you're talking about but what's wrong with just doing

GameObject go = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(HeroController.Instance);

once in init and then using go for everything you need to do?

#

I mean other than it looks ugly

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

because go could and will get deleted

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

in the made up scenario I actually manage to get the thing

#

what do I do with it?

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

Sorry I mean
private GameObject go

#

and then just go = ...

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

go will still get deleted in most cases

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

ok

#

I'll trust you on this

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

pretty sure the slash component does get reloaded

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

FieldInfo fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); GameObject = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance);

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

but even if it never did get deleted ever

#

you should still cache FieldInfo

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

wouldn't fi get deleted if you do it the way folding is though

#

which is the way you posted

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

well im not telling you where or how to cache it

#

im just telling you to do it

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

I'm lost

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

FieldInfo fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

is easier to write than

public FieldInfo fi;
//stuff
public void someFunc(){
//stuff
if( fi == null)
 fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
//more stuff
}

#

and I can just tell you to cache it

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

ok makes sense

#

so it's shorthand for that then.

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

once you have GameObject go you have a reference to the slashComponent, you can save its scale to a var, if that var is null
then set slashComponents scale to that var multiplied by some var

#

i think reflection gives you shallow copies

#

but I dunno test it

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

I feel like I confused poor Folding sorry about that

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

no

#

I'm always confused

#

So, the FI part in the If ModLength thing

#

can it be replaced with the Field info thing above?

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

public FieldInfo fi;

public void SetFieldInfo() {
    if( fi == null)
        fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
}

public void SetSlashSpeed() { 
    GameObject go = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance);
    // code to set length of slash speed here
}

I think not 100% sure

#

thanks for the reaction "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

flat forum May 11, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

this if( modLength == null ) modLength = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance) nailLength = modLength * multiplier; comes after the last one?

#

Also, it's length instead of Speed

fair rampart May 11, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

You're welcome

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

if( modLength == null )
    modLength = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance).Scale
fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance).Scale = modLength * 1.5

although thats 50/50 depending on if its a shallow or deep copy

#

and I don't mess with it enough to know

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 6:58 PM

#

just replace whatever I put in SetSLashSpeed with that code and there's a 50/50 chance it just works

#

might also need public float modLength; at the top next to public FieldInfo fi;

flat forum May 11, 2018, 7:00 PM

#


public void SetFieldInfo() {
    if( fi == null)
                  fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); GameObject = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance);
}

also do cs directly after it

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:01 PM

public FieldInfo fi;
public Vector3 modLength;

public void SetSlashLength() {
    if( fi == null)
        fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
    if( modLength == null )
         modLength = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance).Scale;
    fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance).Scale = modLength * 1.5;
}```

#

try this maybe?

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

scale should be Vector3

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

fixed thanks

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

woah calm down there frendo

#

lets just check the simple code works

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

there's no if then. after your if statement put { and at the end of whatever you want to do put }

flat forum May 11, 2018, 7:04 PM

#

I just put this if PlayerData.instance.equippedCharm_18 and PlayerData.instance.equippedCharm_13 in there

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

so if (x) { //code here; } else if (y) { // code here; }

#

also only set modLength = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance)

#

once

#

or it will stack forever

flat forum May 11, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

mhm

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

set it in setfieldinfo

#

with a check if it's null just like with fi

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

it'll be null if fi is null

#

or close enough

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

modLength should be a Vector3, which can't be null

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

^

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

Either use Vector3? or check against Vector3.zero

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

you could also just do something like this in the set code

if( fi == null) {
    fi = typeof(HeroController).GetField("slashComponent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); GameObject = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance);
    modLength = fi.GetValue(HeroController.Instance);
}

#

and only set it once

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 7:09 PM

#

well no need to check anyway

#

because if fi is null, modlength also isn't set

flat forum May 11, 2018, 7:09 PM

How did y'all learn to code? I just looked at and modified it until it made sense so I have no real formal education.

#

So I have no idea how to teach others how to learn

Pretty much that

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 7:14 PM

i don't think a formal education helps hollowface

I mean I was given a 20kg pascal book and a test

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:14 PM

#

I'm sure it does with some things. It took me 2 years to understand how pointers work.

#

because most of the code I looked at barely used them

#

but if I had been taught their syntax they would have made sense from week 3

rain cedar May 11, 2018, 7:15 PM

#

Good thing C# doesn't even have those outside of unsafe blocks

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 7:15 PM

#

because theres not a lot of uses for pointers tbh

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:16 PM

#

I don't write c# or java mostly because I don't really like them as languages though tbh, most of my code is c++

#

nothing against them as languages but they seem to encourage bad practices.

#

they are easy to learn though which helps I guess.

leaden hedge May 11, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

only time I ever write stuff in c++ is when I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing, like reading and writing to other processes memory

compact sedge May 11, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

With c++ you always know when you should and shouldn't be doing something. the line gets blurred with languages like c#.

#

that's my opinion at least

#

in c++, unless they are constant (or readonly from other classes) the most global your global variables should get is class level and even that's rare. In c++ you know always if you are passing memory or merely pointers and can take advantage of that to avoid copying large segments of ram. Arrays are more primative in c++, rather than just being basically vectors in disguise, this also saves lots of memory and can improve performance.

#

These are things that make the language harder but imo encourage better code.

Question: Should I add an optional (and default off), "classic mode" for infinite NKG? In this mode grimm will be at standard speeds and stuns and won't get harder to fight no matter how much damage you do, but you won't earn any geo rewards. Would this be a good use of my time?

if you chain it all the time it's easier to learn the pattern than if you do it half the time.
