I have the flying insect Wasp and he is basically able to attack me but I can't do any damage to him. Editing the insectflying script I did not see anything showing he could take damage. I also have the crawling hand and it can be killed so I looked at it's script and see this at the end of the script

function hand_exit(e)
StopAnimation(e)
StopSound(e,0)
Destroy(e)
end

I added that to end of the flying insect script but I still can't do any damage to the Wasp. Here is the entire script if anyone can see how to fix this sure would appreciate it )

local attack_delay = {}
rotation = {}
flying = {}
attacking = {}
stinging = {}
vertmovement = {}
w_animating = {}
maxvolume = {}
minvolume = {}
noise = {}
nvolume = {}



function insectflying_init(e)
attack_delay[e] = 250
rotation[e] = 0
flying[e] = 1
attacking[e] = 0
stinging[e] = 0
vertmovement[e] = 0
w_animating[e] = 0
SetSoundVolume(100)
maxvolume[e] = 100
minvolume[e] = 1
noise[e] = 0
nvolume[e] = 0
end

GravityOff(e)

function insectflying_main(e)
--PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
rotation[e] = math.random(-200,200)
vertmovement[e] = math.random(-50,50)

nvolume[e] = maxvolume[e] - ( GetPlayerDistance(e) / 100.0 )
if nvolume[e] < minvolume[e] then
StopSound(e,0)
noise[e]=0
else
if noise[e] == 0 then
LoopSound(e,0)
noise[e] = 1
end
SetSoundVolume(nvolume[e])

end


if stinging[e] == 0 and g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 then
SetAnimationFrames(1,2)
LoopAnimation(e)
g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1
end
if stinging[e] == 0 and w_animating[e] == 1 then
StopAnimation(e)
end

end

end

SetAnimationFrames(5,14)

end
end
if GetTimer(e) > attack_delay[e] then
HurtPlayer(e,1)
attack_delay[e] = GetTimer(e) + 250
end

end

this is not a script issue but an fpe issue, check the fpe for collision and / or physics and make sure they are on, you can't kill something if it doesnt have any collision detection

ty. Did not see a section for FPE questions )

In the FPE file for that character, Try adding these to the FPE file under the orientation section and delete the dbo and bin file associated with it and try again.

I've modified the fpe files of the bee & wasp, and created a new script, which should make them killable. Download and unzip the attached file, add the two fpe files & bmp files to the folder containing the insects, and copy the insectflyingdeath.lua file into the scriptbank.

Thanks Gtox for editing those. I found a problem with the wasp and Bee. They only show up as a white dot on the editor and when I go in to test they are still a white dot. Also tried shooting them and they did not die?

thanks Pirate Myke, I added that code and it must conflict with something as it locks up as soon as I click on wasp to drop down on editor. Hopefully Gtox will have time to fix them

More as a reminder. if you make changes in the fpe file. make sure you delete the bin and dbo files in that folder. and restart GG
Sometimes that will also help.

harry

Did you place the bee(killable).fpe and wasp(killable).fpe files in the same folder as the originals?

No I had made a directory called toons to make it easier to find all the characters. When i copied them to your origional dir under purchased/Gtox/critters/insects it worked fine ) thank you so much for fixing this for me.
