Hey guys I can't figure out how to make those offbeat synths in between drumbeats

You can do two things:

You can add a delay, or you can just put the synth off beat. So, if you're using four-to-the-floor, just throw an eighth note in the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth slots of each bar and your synth will hit off beat.

Everything besides makeEmitter() looks fine to me.

Code: [Select]

function MakeEmitter(%client)
{
%client.mountImage(PlayerColorFireImage); // This needs a slot. Use slot 3, I guess.
schedule(50, 0, mountImage(PlayerColorFireImage), %client.player, 0.1); // Incorrect
$loel::Schedule = schedule(100, 0, MakeEmitter);
}
Well, first, just for syntaxical correctness, that line would be:
schedule(50, 0, mountImage, PlayerColorFireImage, %client.player, 0.1);

But, the last two variables are useless, and you need a slot. If you were actually going to use this, do this:
schedule(50, 0, mountImage, PlayerColorFireImage, 3);
But, there's no reason to do this because there's a schedule that does it again and there's no reason to do it every 50ms, so just remove that line.

Then the last line, $loel::Schedule, this is pointless. Players cannot unequip slot 3, and if it's an item that gives them this effect you can just use the callbacks for that item instead of scheduling it. Just remove it. Final code:

Code: [Select]

function MakeEmitter(%client)
{
%client.mountImage(PlayerColorFireImage, 3);
}

What you're probably going to want to do is to make a real shapeBaseImageData with an emitter on it, much like the wand (hint hint). Then you can mount this image.

When you provide an example, you should probably make sure it works.

It worked for me in the past, and I haven't edited it since when it worked, so really I have no idea why there's an extra closing parenthesis. M was shorthand for "marker", it was a debug function that marked the end-point of all raycasts so I could make sure the search angle was correct and I thought I removed all references to it. AIPlayer::attack was defined in another file, so that's why that's not there. As I said, "you can see it here for reference."

after testing it, it sort of chases you but does nothing similar to intelligent pathing
is this the intended behavior?

Huh? It navigates around walls, it will even navigate through most mazes without issue. Try raising $Pref::Bot::Intelligence to 500-1000.

Regardless, I solved most errors. You'll have to manually mount an item to the bot, though. I just kind of half-assed the attack function, since the one in the other file relied on too many other things to be scrapped down.

A* is pretty simple. Dijkstra's takes way more resources to calculate, A* just requires a lot of listed variables. But, you're right, the biggest limitation is A* is the requirement of preplaced nodes while Dijkstra's will allow you to navigate around anything. I have a pretty lame implementation of Dijkstra's, you can see it here for reference:

Nah you just don't understand how to use it.

What? How can you even make that comment, lol. I don't like it because of it's individual features and quirks, not because I lack understanding of how to program. If that was true, I wouldn't like any languages.

2) I absolutely capable of understanding slang, I never said I wasn't

You said I shouldn't expect people to understand slang, I was using 'you' in a communal, general sense.

3) Nope, I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to my opinions though

It's not something that you can have an opinion about, it's a fact. "The earth is flat." isn't an opinion, it's a manifestation of ignorance. "BubbaGum is looking for attention." isn't an opinion, it's a manifestation of ignorance.

4) Escaping life was not the purpose behind smoking, I smoked because I enjoyed it, it was something I had fun doing.

That's not what you said before. You said "I did it because it helped me get along in life."

If you consider that escapism then I guess sports for some people, painting for others, and even further music making is all forms of escapism.

People don't watch sports to help them get along in life, they watch them for entertainment. People make music to get along in life, but that's a monetary not emotional need they're fulfilling.

So, I guess by your definition I'm okay.

No, you straw manned my argument then extrapolated that to a point where you just look dumb because after crumbling the base of your assumption your comment is left hanging.

Are you saying I bring up my child in all of my posts?

Were you saying Boltster brings up your child in all of his posts?

Then why did all arguments about the original post stop?

Because you have literally no ground left to stand on.

Hah. I stopped because I thought you'd learned your lesson by being stuff on by everyone. I'm happy to resume.

Don't expect a person to just know that you're using a word in its slang definition.

What? How is that even relevant? And it's completely false, if I say "Wow, the Blockland Forums are pretty cool" none of you should think that I meant the forums are cold. If you are incapable of deciphering slang, you probably have autism. Not even joking.

Well maybe my assumptions are incorrect, but to me they are correct.

So basically, you're being an ignorant self-righteous forget who refuses to change their beliefs even when they are directly and unarguably wrong.

Helping me along in life is nowhere near 'escaping' life.  Lol.

Do you know what escapism is? I'll define it here for you:
Escapism is mental diversion by means of entertainment or recreation, as an "escape" from the perceived unpleasant or bbrown town aspects of daily life.
By using drugs, you are escaping from the unpleasant aspects of life which helps you along. I don't know if you're dumb or ignorant, either way you're an escapist.

you can cheat a polygraph test.
