I last created Mods back before Cataclysm. It's been a long time. Just now getting back into it. I'm just trying to write a very basic mod that cancels attacking with the right mouse button.
WorldFrame:HookScript("OnMouseUp", function(self, button)
if button == "RightButton" then
local mouseoverName = UnitName("mouseover") or "Unknown";
local reaction = UnitReaction("mouseover", "player") or 10;
if reaction < 5 then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Stopped Attack on: "..mouseoverName);
MouselookStop();
else
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(mouseoverName.." is friendly! "..reaction);
end
end
end)
The code I have should be working (from what I can tell) - but it's not. The code always returns Unknown & 10. If I swap out mouseover for player it works fine (but doesn't actually give me the data I need).
Also, if I swap out and hook-into OnMouseDown it also works, but then I can't actually interrupt the attack.
Any insight on why it's not working or how to fix it would be appreciated... Also if there is just a better way to do things I'm all ears.
UnitName("mouseover") indeed returns nil while any mouse button is pressed.
This is quite a smart idea to prevent attacking hostile units with mouse click. It probably doesn't work because Blizard really made sure to protect any possible thing to do with the WorldFrame that could be abused.
https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_GetCursorInfo sadly also doesn't return if the cursor is currently the sword icon, only if it's holding something.

I'musing Roblox Studio and can't figure out how to make it print 'test' at a certain point in the animation. Here is the code:
animationTrackTwo:GetKeyframeReachedSignal("Throw"):Connect(function(value)
print("test")
end)
local animationTrackTwo = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.ThrowSnowball)
animationTrackTwo:Play()
I think i inserted a keyframe into the animation called 'Throw" (I may have done it wrong) but it says GetKeyframeReachedSignal is not a valid member of animationTrack. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Try using the :GetMarkerReachedSignal() function, More information can be found at: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/AnimationTrack/GetMarkerReachedSignal
I have a really weird issue with cocos2d-x v3, the first 15 touches or so are not registered on my iOS device (tried iPad 2 and iPad air). As soon as a touch is finally registered, everything works fine (aka all touches after that trigger the onTouch functions).
The touch events work perfectly fine in the simulator.
Also, the same code works perfectly fin in my Windows and Android builds.
Has anyone had this happen, or maybe know what could be causing it?
I'm using the listener, and I debugged up to the spot where touchesBegan forwards the input events to the listener, but even there the events don't come in until after the 15th tap or so.
It's really weird... And I figured I'd give it a shot here, as someone might have encountered this as well, before I start stripping code to as clean as possible, and then try to work my way back from there...
Kind regards,
Michaël
EDIT: As requested, here is some code. The desired behaviour is that it works in iOS devices like it should: First touch triggers the onTouchBegan.
I didn't add it as it didn't think it would matter, since the code works fine for Android.
But I appreciate that you'd like to see it, just in case I might have missed something
GameLayer is a Cocos2d::Layer.
void GameLayer::onEnter()
{
cocos2d::CCLayer::onEnter();
// Register Touch Event
auto pEventDispatcher = cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->getEventDispatcher();
if (pEventDispatcher)
{
// Touch listener
auto pTouchListener = cocos2d::EventListenerTouchOneByOne::create();
if (pTouchListener)
{
pTouchListener->setSwallowTouches( true );
pTouchListener->onTouchBegan = CC_CALLBACK_2( GameLayer::onTouchBegan, this );
pTouchListener->onTouchMoved = CC_CALLBACK_2( GameLayer::onTouchMoved, this );
pTouchListener->onTouchEnded = CC_CALLBACK_2( GameLayer::onTouchEnded, this );
pTouchListener->onTouchCancelled = CC_CALLBACK_2( GameLayer::onTouchCancelled, this );
pEventDispatcher->addEventListenerWithSceneGraphPriority( pTouchListener, this );
}
}
}
bool GameLayer::onTouchBegan( cocos2d::Touch* pTouch, cocos2d::Event* /*pEvent*/ )
{
// Breakpoint here triggers fine on first touch for Android/Windows/iOS Simulator,
// but not on iOS device (iPad/iPhone)
bool breakHere = true;
<<snip actual code>>
}
EDIT:
The problem was an std::ofstream trying to open() on the iOS device (most likely in a folder it didn't have access to).
I have lots of layers in my game and I don't do it like you do. In your code the need to get the EventDispatcher locally and create the touch listener like how you are seems odd to me. I've never seen it down that way in so many steps.
I do:
auto listener = cocos2d::EventListenerTouchOneByOne::create();
listener->setSwallowTouches(true);
listener->onTouchBegan = [&](cocos2d::Touch* touch, cocos2d::Event* event)
{
return true;
};
listener->onTouchEnded = [=](cocos2d::Touch* touch, cocos2d::Event* event)
{
// ... do something
};
cocos2d::Director::getInstance()->getEventDispatcher()->addEventListenerWithFixedPriority(listener, 31);
I got it fixed.
The problem was seemingly totally unrelated, I was trying to open an std::ofstream file (my log file), most likely in a folder it didn't have (any and/or write) access to.
Which is not required, nor wanted on the iOS device.
Once I added IOS to the exclusion list (just like Android and some more targets) everything started to work perfect.
I do not know what goes wrong exactly, and why it does start working after a few touch inputs, but I'm guess it was waiting or retrying something in the background.
I found the issue while debugging another one :)
Hopefully this helps anyone else who might stumble onto the same or a related issue.
Kind regards,

I'm creating a bukkit plugin and it requires lighting to be added and I want to be able to accomplish this server side only so that users don't need special plugins to see the lighting. Could this be done? If I'm not mistaken rendering lighting has been server side before? I would also like this lighting to be colored and lighting sources to be invisible (lighting from coordinates is acceptable since the map will be set)
My fear, can it be done?
You could do this using:
p.sendBlockChange(Location, Material, Byte);
Location is the location of the block
Material is the material that you want the player to see
the Byte is the data, so in the block 43:8, you would use 8. If there is none, just use 0.
So, you could do this to send the block update to all players:
Location[] invisibleBlocks; //all Invisible locations
for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){ //get all online players
for(Location l : invisibleBlocks){ //get all invisible blocks
p.sendBlockChange(l, Material.AIR, 0); //send block change of AIR to the player
}
}
The only problem is that block changes get reset when a player unloads/loads the chunk that the change is in. So, to fix this, you could schedule a timer:
Location[] invisibleBlocks; //set this to the locations of all of the blocks you want to make invisible
plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable(){
public void run(){
for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){ //get all online players
for(Location l : invisibleBlocks){ //get all invisible blocks
p.sendBlockChange(l, Material.AIR, 0); //send block change of AIR to the player
}
}
}
},100);//delay time is 5 seconds (5 seconds * 20 ticks per second)
Then all you need to do is put glowstone in the the invisibleBlocks locations, and it will appear as air, but (should) still emit light.
One problem with this is that if a player tries to walk into the block, they will walk in half way, then get teleported back out. This is because the client thinks there isn't a block there, yet the server knows that there is, and when the player walks into the block, the server teleports them back out, making a jerky kind of motion.
If you put this somewhere where players can't walk into it, you should be good!
I'm making a game where i have a character moving through a maze collecting coins. Once I have collected 10 coins i want my game to automatically go to the end keyframe. The variable Coincounter keeps a record of the number of coins the user has collected so far. So far i have this code to make my game do that....
if (_root.Coincounter == 10) {
trace("got to ten" +_root.Coincounter);
gotoAndStop(4) ;
}
The code is inside an onClipEvent - either keyDown or enterFrame, i can put it in either of them. The trace works fine so it's my gotoAndStop code that doesn't work - i'm not sure why. Thanks for the help.
So here's my problem. I have code set up that calls a function whenever my player is over its last destination in the a* pathfinding array...
public function rakeSoil(e:Event):void {
var:Cell = Grid.getCellAt(player.x/50, player.y/50);
if (cell.isWalkable == false) {
return;
else {
//here is where i want to do the sleep code so this doesnt happen straight away? If possible.
target.sprites = [grass];
}
}
thanks guys :)
Generally, the "right" way to delay execution of something is to use a Timer.
Hacking up some kind of a sleep function could cause problems, since Flash runs in a single thread, so you won't be able to do anything else while your function is running, including refreshing the screen (making your game appear as if it crashed, or at least started lagging).
If you're absolutely, positively sure you want to do this, you could call the getTimer() function in a loop to see if a certain amount of miliseconds has passed.
