shooting and invincibility

Hey, so for a shooting server, if someone is spawned and still considered "invincible", shots can still kill them. Is there any way to fix this?

that would be easy enough: in gWinZone.cpp, before killing a player because he/her touched a shot, it would check to see if they are invincible. also with death zones. what file has invincibility stuff in it?

actually, that will be harder: invincible (invulnerable) information is in src/tron/gCycle.cpp while shots and death zones information is kept in src/tron/gWinZone.cpp.

That's not a problem. You can just call the Vulnerable() member function of gCycleMovement objects from the zone code.

z-man: you know this code great. exactly what i thought.
so something like this (gWinZone.cpp in void gDeathZoneHack::OnEnter):

Code: Select all

else if ( target->Player != Vulnerable() ) //If player is invincible
                {
                    //Don't kill ivincible players
                    return;
                }

i tried to compile it, but it gave me errors with gWinZone.cpp on a different line(?):
tron/gWinZone.cpp

warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
tron/gWinZone.cpp

warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’

here is what i find at those lines:

Code: Select all

 pWinString = "$player_win_self_destruct";
                        pFreeString = "$player_free_self_destruct";
                        score = score_self_destruct;

but these lines were already there? i dont get it

EDIT: actually, those lines are just deprecated (some one is lazy) and i removed mine and it worked. tell me what im doing wrong.

ok, i got it to work.
add these lines:

Code: Select all

    else if (!target->Vulnerable()) //Cycle is invulnerable
    {
         //Don't kill invulnerable cycles
         return;
    }

to gWinZone.cpp in

Code: Select all

void gDeathZoneHack::OnEnter( gCycle * target, REAL time )

right after

Code: Select all

{
    if (!dynamicCreation_)
    {
    target->Player()->AddScore(score_deathzone, tOutput(), "$player_lose_suicide");
    target->Kill();
    }

I was hoping for something simpler, without compiling. But thanks, I'll see if I can get it compiled on my poor little mac.
