Server Side Melee System

Download Code File

This tutorial will show you how to add a sever side melee system. The code is from Realm Wars, but it may be hard for some poeple to find everything thats needed. The tutorail is in the download. For the RW orc and sword

Enjoy.

I uplaoded the RW orc and sword to my website. Don't use the tut in the download, use the one at the top of the page.

Edit:Link doesn't work right, just post in your browser.

The movie shows a shielded attack, an attack that hit, and a sword rebound.

The screenshot shows me blocking two attacks from some orcs with my shield.

For shields and sword rebounding, add this to your weapons.cs file.

After:

if (%target.getState() !$= "Dead" && %target.getId() !$= %player.getId())
   		{

Add:

// shields and sword rebounding - JM The_Force
           if(%target.shielded || %target.hthDamageSeqPlaying)
           {
              if(%target.hthDamageSeqPlaying)
                 %swordBlock = 1;
              %block = 1;
              // Now we see if we hit from behind...
              %forwardVec = %target.getEyeVector();
              %objDir2D   = getWord(%forwardVec, 0) @ " " @ getWord(%forwardVec,1) @ " " @ "0";
              %objPos     = %target.getPosition();
              %dif        = VectorSub(%objPos, %player.getPosition());
              %dif        = getWord(%dif, 0) @ " " @ getWord(%dif, 1) @ " 0";
              %dif        = VectorNormalize(%dif);
              %dot        = VectorDot(%dif, %objDir2D);
              // 120 Deg angle test...
              // 1.05 == 60 degrees in radians
              if (%dot >= mCos(1.05))
                 %block = 0;
           }
           if(%block == 1)
           {
              //error("attack blocked!!");
              //%player.playAudio(0,ShieldImpactSound);
              //makeSparks(%pos);
              stunPlayer(%player,%attack);
              pushPlayerBack(%player,%pos,%target,%attack);
              if(%swordBlock == 1)
              {
                 stunPlayer(%target,%attack);
                 pushPlayerBack(%target,%pos,%player,%attack);
              }
              return;
           }

To shield a player, just set %shieldObject.shielded = 1;
