Hi, I'm working on an RPG script because I'm not good enough at Lua to create my own 
I have different monsters with different image sizes but when I try to change their
I've searched throughout the whole script and it's only used here:
That function isn't even used.

But I don't know where.
I've tried adding it to the function in random places but either it's not the right way or I've done it wrong.
Another place where it could be placed in is this function where I used to use the occupied function until it caused some issues and I was told I better off not use it:

The existing code will not work if you simply decide to add it to the monster position function. You'll end up with monsters spawning on top of eachother that are unable to move because their path is obstructed. You also will have to change the hit detection, which wouldn't be all too hard, but I would recommend changing it completely by using the image hitzones instead.
I could probably find my old monsters file if you'd like, but I won't be cutting out bits to suit your needs, I'll just post it all and you can decide what you want to use.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll go searching tonight on one of my drives.

Well since the first paragraph of words you said left me in confusion I'd like to see what you're talking about on the second one!
But if you'll give me the whole file how will I know which part affects the size? Should I just use all of it or should I try replacing functions one by one hoping it'll work?
Maybe searching for

Maybe searching for
.size
inside your file and moving the appropriate functions to replace with mine? Look at me standing, here on my own again

I'll have to check for you tomorrow, will give you a general explanation of where I changed what if I can recall. I'll set an alarm to remind me to check, will be around this time, no worries.

OK I'll wait 
EDIT: I need the
EDIT: I need the
self.size
to work so I can have higher hitboxes on monsters but if you know how to have a hitbox based on the monster's image size it would probably be better and easier because I won't have to go through each monster setting up it's own self.size

My apologies, I cannot find the version where I remade the monster functions, I can only find one from 2015 where I only checked the occupied space:
Within the position function it checks whether the space is occupied or not. It also contains a neat for loop that's so super-duper-awesome and why did I even.. In any case, it checks whether a player is nearby, if no one is, the image position will not change. This helped a lot of lag players were experiencing and also stops spectators taking a look around your map to see what monsters lurk around.
So this won't really help your issue with the monster sizes, but at least you won't have monsters walking over one another any more (yay!)

The only differences between my function and yours is that yours doesn't include this:
below line 10.
And the fact you're using the occupied function while I'm not.
I'll give the occupied function another go and see what happens.
I now remember why I removed it, I have bosses in the script that are supposed to summon "minions".
The minions are spawned on top of the bosses which prevent the bosses from being able to move, the only way I can probably solve this is if I make bosses ignore the occupied function, not sure if that's a good idea though...
Well I've made bosses and minions ignore that function so now only monsters care about it, makes boss fights a little easier.
I've changed my occupied function to this:
Is there a way to add

Is there a way to add
m.width
and m.height
to the attack hook so they'll have a bigger hitbox? edited 1×, last 27.09.18 05:52:10 am
