Projectile: Server/Client update SOLVED (NOT A BUG)

Guest

Currently the implementation in TestProjectile.py doesn't seem to update the server or other clients
with an animation in SampleWorld so there is no animation in the target's client.

Only a test I know but thought the behavior would already be there.
Projectile script needs to update the server so it can update
the target's client to run an animation. Time to get my hands dirty. Smile

If someone wants to see this in Sampleworld
1) Open 2 clients and connect them to your server
2) Ctrl-Alt-P to fire projectile at a target, not just any mesh
since the projectile is fired at the target's socket.

The key assignments are in: \SampleAssets\sampleworld\Interface\FrameXML\Bindings.txt

That is intentional. It was a test just to see how you would implement a projectile.
If you want to have all the players see it you need to send a command to the server. You could make a real simple one by adding

Code:: class ProjectileCommand (ProxyPlugin.CommandParser):
def parse(self, cmdEvent):
playerOid = cmdEvent.getObjectOid()
targetOid = cmdEvent.getTarget()
projectilemsg= AnimationClient.InvokeEffectMessage(playerOid, "TestProjectile")
projectilemsg.setProperty("targetOID", targetOid)
projectilemsg.setProperty("sourceOID", playerOid)
Engine.getAgent().sendBroadcast(projectilemsg)

proxyPlugin.registerCommand("/projectile", ProjectileCommand())

to extension proxy

Thanks Delurin!

Will post when I get it to work.

Now it's off to play games.

Thanks again Delurin. Very Happy

Had the BigInteger java issue but you and mwright solved it for me here:

After casting the oid's to long...voila! cheers

Sorry I think I add a long() conversion for every effect and forgot that it wasnt standard

Not a problem. You pointed me in the right direction.

I gotta learn this stuff anyway and that made me dig through stuff
more than I would've.

And in Bindings.xml changed the key binding to use my /fireball

Changed

Code:: <Binding name="PROJECTILETEST" header="ACTIONS">
ClientAPI.InvokeEffect("TestProjectile", ClientAPI.GetLocalOID(), {'targetOID': MarsTarget.GetCurrentTarget().OID, 'sourceOID':ClientAPI.GetPlayerObject().OID})
</Binding>

To

Code:: <Binding name="PROJECTILETEST" header="ACTIONS">
ClientAPI.Network.SendTargetedCommand(MarsTarget.GetCurrentTarget().OID, "/fireball")
</Binding>

This is too much fun. Smile

Hey Koron,

I'm also getting a BigInteger error log and have no clue where to set long OIDs. Do you have a sample file(s) that I can check out? Smile

Basically in effect files when you execute the effect you should cast to long just to make sure (it doesnt take much processing power so its better just to be safe)

Code:: def ExecuteEffect(self, targetOID, sourceOID):

# convert the object IDs sent from the server to the actual WorldObjects
target = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(long(targetOID))
caster = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(long(sourceOID))

this function requires longs

Code:: ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(variableName)

so just add a long() to it

Code:: ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(long(variableName))

And that should fix your problem

Thanks Delurin, I will try that out.

Still no luck, I have modified the TestProjectile.py lines 32 - 33 below

Code:: target = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(long(targetOID))
caster = ClientAPI.World.GetObjectByOID(long(sourceOID))

Added this set of code to extension_proxy.py:

Code:: class ProjectileCommand (ProxyPlugin.CommandParser):
def parse(self, cmdEvent):
playerOid = cmdEvent.getObjectOid()
targetOid = cmdEvent.getTarget()
projectilemsg= AnimationClient.InvokeEffectMessage(playerOid, "TestProjectile")
projectilemsg.setProperty("targetOID", targetOid)
projectilemsg.setProperty("sourceOID", playerOid)
Engine.getAgent().sendBroadcast(projectilemsg)

proxyPlugin.registerCommand("/projectile", ProjectileCommand())

And set Bindings.xml to Koron's code (Note that he used /fireball instead of /projectile which is the correct and registered command above

Code:: <Binding name="PROJECTILETEST" header="ACTIONS">
ClientAPI.Network.SendTargetedCommand(MarsTarget.GetCurrentTarget().OID, "/projectile")
</Binding>

This is the error log I'm getting...

Code:: ERROR [2013-03-30 15:25:20,169] SQ-Message-4 SQ MessageCallback multiverse.server.util.MVRuntimeException: MVByteBuffer.putEncodedObject: no support for object of class class java.math.BigInteger

Am I still missing something here?

» Can run client in --standalone only?>>>>Solved
» Server STARTUP FAILED >>> SOLVED
» DEMO WORLD SERVER UPDATE
» Server and Client on same computer
» Connecting the client to a server which is not localhost
