Sonic Max Question - Making a Simple Boss
- Thread starter Orrin
- Start date
Well there are a couple of different ways to go about this. I did it by creating a new script called scrPlayerHandleBoss() and added it to the Player's Step event with the other object handle scripts.
Then I made my bosses children objects of objBoss. All of my bosses are initialized with the same basic variables and alarms.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know if I need to elaborate on anything.
if(instance_exists(objBoss))
{
else
{
}}
{
OffX = 9+(15*(Shield == consShieldInstashield)) ;
OffY = 19+(5*(Shield == consShieldInstashield)) ;
_ObjectHandle = collision_rectangle(x-OffX, y-OffY, x+OffX, y+OffY, objBoss, true, true);
if(_ObjectHandle != noone){
OffY = 19+(5*(Shield == consShieldInstashield)) ;
_ObjectHandle = collision_rectangle(x-OffX, y-OffY, x+OffX, y+OffY, objBoss, true, true);
if(_ObjectHandle != noone){
if _ObjectHandle.bossHp == 0
exit;
// -----------------------------------------------------
// If the Player hits the boss:
// Handle Boss Values

if(Action == ActionRolling || Action == ActionJumping || Action == ActionSpindash || Action == ActionGlide || ShieldAction || Invincibility == 2 || SuperForm){
// If the Player hits the boss:

if(Action == ActionRolling || Action == ActionJumping || Action == ActionSpindash || Action == ActionGlide || ShieldAction || Invincibility == 2 || SuperForm){
if _ObjectHandle.bossInv == false{
if _ObjectHandle.bossInv == false
audio_play_sound(sndBossHit, 1, false);
if _ObjectHandle.bossHp > 1
{
else if _ObjectHandle.bossHp == 1
{
_ObjectHandle.bossInv = true;
}{
_ObjectHandle.bossHp -= 1;
_ObjectHandle.alarm[0] = room_speed/2;
_ObjectHandle.sprite_index = _ObjectHandle.hurtSprite;
} _ObjectHandle.alarm[0] = room_speed/2;
_ObjectHandle.sprite_index = _ObjectHandle.hurtSprite;
else if _ObjectHandle.bossHp == 1
{
_ObjectHandle.sprite_index = _ObjectHandle.hurtSprite;
_ObjectHandle.bossDefeated = true;
_ObjectHandle.alarm[1] = room_speed/2;
_ObjectHandle.alarm[2] = room_speed*4;
}_ObjectHandle.bossDefeated = true;
_ObjectHandle.alarm[1] = room_speed/2;
_ObjectHandle.alarm[2] = room_speed*4;
_ObjectHandle.bossInv = true;
// -----------------------------------------------------

X = x-_ObjectHandle.x;
Y = y-_ObjectHandle.y;
Magnitude = sqrt(X*X+Y*Y);
X /= Magnitude;
Y /= Magnitude;
if(sign(X) == sign(Speed) && sign(Y) == sign(Gravity)){
Speed = X*3;
Gravity = Y*3;
JumpVariable = false;
if(ShieldAction == true)
// Bounce Off Boss
// -----------------------------------------------------
X = x-_ObjectHandle.x;
Y = y-_ObjectHandle.y;
Magnitude = sqrt(X*X+Y*Y);
X /= Magnitude;
Y /= Magnitude;
if(sign(X) == sign(Speed) && sign(Y) == sign(Gravity)){
exit;
}Speed = X*3;
Gravity = Y*3;
JumpVariable = false;
if(ShieldAction == true)
ShieldAction = false;
if(Action != ActionJumping && Action != ActionRolling)Action = ActionNormal;
_ObjectHandle.Bounce += 2;
_ObjectHandle.Index = 3;
}_ObjectHandle.Index = 3;
else
{
// -----------------------------------------------------
// If the Player does not hit the boss:
// Take Damage
// -----------------------------------------------------
scrPlayerHurt(_ObjectHandle, sndPlayerDead);
}// If the Player does not hit the boss:
// Take Damage
// -----------------------------------------------------
scrPlayerHurt(_ObjectHandle, sndPlayerDead);
Then I made my bosses children objects of objBoss. All of my bosses are initialized with the same basic variables and alarms.
Variables:
bossHp = (Usually 8. Health Points)
bossInv = (False. Invincibility Frames)
bossDefeated = (False. Used to manage other level triggers, like the camera lock)
hurtSprite = (Sprite for when the boss takes damage)
Alarms:bossInv = (False. Invincibility Frames)
bossDefeated = (False. Used to manage other level triggers, like the camera lock)
hurtSprite = (Sprite for when the boss takes damage)
alarm[0]:
Sets bossInv to false, ending invincibility frames, and resets sprite.
alarm[1]: Creates an explosion at (x-sprite_xoffset+random(sprite_width), y-sprite_yoffset+random(sprite_height)) and sets alarm[1] for the next explosion.
alarm[2]: Sets alarm[1] to -1, stopping the explosions, sets bossHp to 0, and sets bossDefeated to true. You can either destroy the boss object or change into a different object.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know if I need to elaborate on anything.
I had already made my scrPlayerHandleBoss and forgot to add it to my player object (Though yours is probably more well made considering it not just some horrible amalgamation of the bumper handle and enemy handle 
). Thanks my dude, this should make things a LOT easier (I see you tend to post help fairly often, I saw the post from Otatron)
