Development Forum Critter hatching from moved egg?    Malkin    Manager     7/28/2013 Let's say I have a critter egg agent. I want to make it so that the Hand can pick it up (using the mouseable ATTR) and place it elsewhere, and that the critter egg will hatch in the new location, and the critter will appear in the 'elsewhere' position, not where the egg initially appeared. When should I set the position commands so that when the egg hatches, the critter will appear in the same location as the egg most recently was? I've had this problem before with the Prate, and the code for that is below: *The Egg timer script! scrp 2 18 10855 9 setv va00 0 doif ov01 >= 5 kill ownr endi rnge 500 esee 2 15 10854 addv va00 1 next esee 2 18 10855 addv va01 1 next doif va00 >= 5 gsub dorm else gsub hatch endi subr hatch setv va06 posl setv va07 post frat 20 anim [0 1 2 3] over wait rand 50 200 pose 5 new: simp 2 15 10854 "prate" 25 0 4100 bhvr 57 attr 199 elas 5 accg 1 perm 100 rnge 200 setv ov02 400 setv ov05 0 setv ov00 0 setv ov45 0 setv ov46 0 doif tmvt va06 va07 eq 1 mvto va06 va07 else mvsf va06 va07 endi tick 1 wait rand 100 300 kill ownr retn subr dorm wait rand 50 300 addv ov01 1 retn endm As far as I can see, this code for my new agent will have the same problem - can anyone please suggest any tweaks to make it re-register its new location? *********** *EGG TIMER* *********** scrp 2 18 10854 9 **If you've been hanging around for a bit doif ov00 ge 5 **go die now gsub diee **if it's not afternoon or night time elif time ne 3 or time ne 4 **go be dormant for a bit gsub dorm **if your egg is fresh and it's afternoon or night time else **go hatch gsub hatch endi **die subroutine subr diee kill ownr retn **dormancy subroutine subr dorm wait rand 50 700 addv ov00 1 doif time = 3 or time = 4 gsub hatch elif ov00 ge 5 gsub diee endi retn **hatch subroutine subr hatch rnge 200 setv va66 0 esee 2 13 10854 addv va66 1 next doif va66 le 30 and fall = 0 **set the place you're going to hatch from setv va00 posl setv va01 post inst new: simp 2 13 10854 "albianglowworm" 12 0 name "patch_plane" attr 198 bhvr 57 elas 4 perm 60 accg 2 aero 2 fric 50 emit 1 0.001 mvsf va00 va01 ***movement counter setv va20 rand 1 2 doif va20 = 1 setv ov00 51 *both need a tick to start the timer tick 1 else setv ov00 0 *both need a tick to start the timer tick 1 endi **the egg should be destroyed now targ ownr kill ownr endi retn endm My TCR Norns   Malkin Manager     7/30/2013  1 Ok, so I've been pointed to the gnarler egg as an example of a critter egg that you can move around (thanks!): ***********egg timer scrp 2 18 18 9 doif carr ne null tick 300 stop endi doif pose eq 9 kill ownr endi base 0 anim [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8] over inst attr 0 *if facing left doif ov10 eq 0 setv va99 -1 else setv va99 1 endi setv va00 posl setv va01 post new: simp 2 15 22 "gnarl" 88 88 4100 attr 198 clac 0 fric 10 elas 30 perm 80 accg 2 setv ov05 0 tick 8 doif tmvt va00 va01 eq 1 mvto va00 va01 else mvsf va00 va01 endi ***OV02 is energy level setv ov02 rand 20 50 **bioenergy setv ov61 75 setv ov10 va99 targ ownr pose 9 wait 300 kill ownr endm So I'm seeing that if the egg is being carried, the egg waits for a tick of 300. Then I assume the egg dies if it's in its 'hatched' position, or grows if it's not in its 'hatched' position, and I'm not sure what va99 represents. Then the 'being carried' doif ends. Immediately after that, the position is set, and the egg vends the baby gnarler. My TCR Norns
