Can I get screen pos of CritterCl head?

[Janusz2238]

Hello good peoples from all world!

I want draw image beside player name. For now, I am using GetHexPos function,

Code: [Select]

#define X_OFFSET -80
      #define Y_OFFSET -75
      int x=0, y=0;
      if(GetHexPos(critters[i].HexX, critters[i].HexY, x, y))
      {
         x += X_OFFSET;
         y += Y_OFFSET;

         if(x > __ScreenWidth || y > __ScreenHeight || x < 0 || y < 0)
         {
            continue;
         }
   
         testSprite.Draw(x, y);
      }
But effect isn't fluent. Is there any better way to get position of Critter head?

Cheers
Janusz

I've added dedicated function for this (getting name/text over head position) some weeks ago, but no idea when/if SDK gonna be updated.

Hello, Thanks for reply, Do you add it to 2238 branch? Im using 2238 branch - no tla sdk. 
Cvet paste me this log, but I dont understund where is this TextRect structure. I searhed all folder with total commander, and in any file i didn't find it.

[20:29:54] <~cvet> Here. You mean pass parameters from scripts or fo3d files?
[20:31:17] <~cvet> Both is possible.
[20:38:17] <cirn1> How to pass from script to shader
[20:38:35] <cirn1> to the  .fx or .glsl
[20:38:47] <cirn1> use 3rd party library?
[21:51:47] <~cvet> Global variables __EffectValue0..9.
[21:52:13] <~cvet> Type is float.
[21:53:21] <cirn1> inside Shader it is referenced as same?
[21:54:20] <~cvet> Without __.
[21:54:36] <~cvet> uniform float EffectValue0;
[21:55:03] <cirn1> Great, have you visited the forum post about my first question?

[21:57:06] <~cvet> Title is about one, first post about another, what do you want to know?
[21:57:27] <cirn1> If there is a reference between sprite object and a critter
[21:58:31] <cirn1> Is possible to get the rendered position of the critter's sprite by script?

[22:35:26] <cirn1> it is inside fonline.h I add, extend myself to get the sprite info?
[22:38:49] <~cvet> Yes, to CritterCl, in the end of structure.
[22:39:34] <cirn1> I will update the forum with this information
[22:41:35] <cirn1> Thank you, one last one for today, is possible to setEffect only for critter with script? I know the engine supports it.
[22:42:26] <~cvet> Whole client critter engine header http://codepad.org/StQmcKBt
[22:43:01] <~cvet> Don't know what you mean, but you can set effect by critter id.
[22:43:33] <cirn1> currently void SetEffect(int effectType, int effectSubtype, string@ effectName);
[22:44:29] <~cvet> bool SetEffect(int effectType, int effectSubtype, string@+ effectName, string@+ effectDefines = null)
[22:45:04] <cirn1> must be inside newer rev

[22:45:09] <cirn1> ok
[22:45:13] <cirn1> Thats great
[22:45:33] <~cvet> >EFFECT_2D_CRITTER - при указании id криттера, эффект сменится только для него; при передаче 0 сменится эффект по умолчанию;

Do you add it to 2238 branch?

Nah, to TLA (if it gets thru code review, ofc :>) - requests was from people who are using original SDK and there's practically 0 chance to switch to mono version or anything with serious changes.

Cvet paste me this log, but I dont understund where is this TextRect structure.

Well provided fonline.h doesn't cover whole structure of CritterCl, Item, and so on - what you got is stuff which you need to add to your own fonline.h to reach the TextRect where text over head info is stored (what covers both char name and results of Say()). It's practically same stuff i used to make the func mentioned.
