[Fresh]

Working unused OTC function of creature:jump()
Creature Jump with jumpStraight feature
tested and used on TFS >= 1.0

• Function:

JumpCreature(self, creatureID, jumpHeight, jumpDuration, jumpStraight)

jumpHeight - how many px creature should "jump" up.
jumpDuration - kinda like "speed" of jumping "animation".
jumpStraight - true (1) or false (0) - by default is false, creature will jump isometric ("to north-west"). If you set it to true, creature will jump straightly up (flat). You can see preview of this bool in above video (below thread title).

• Description:

There's an function (that is unused and a little defective) in default (stock) OTC called creature->jump(jumpHeight, jumpDuration).
I bet that, huge amount of people don't even know that this function already exists. It's needed to be slightly improved by sending and receiving packets server <-> client.
So I done that, added extra "jumpStraight feature" and want to share it with OT community.
Have fun! Hope to see any cool ideas on custom servers with it.

INSTALLATION

Client (OTC) :​

protocolcodes.h :: need to order packet for receiving informations from server, my packet there is 54 (0x36), so you need to change it to your "unused" packet.

Spoiler

ServerCreatureJump             = 54, // 0x36

protocolgame.h :: declaration of packet parsing

Spoiler

void parseCreatureJump(const InputMessagePtr& msg);

protocolgameparse.cpp :: declaration, paste it somewhere between other "case proto" things:

Spoiler

            case Proto::ServerCreatureJump:
                parseCreatureJump(msg);
                break;

protocolgameparse.cpp :: function, paste it somewhere between void ProtocolGame functions:

Spoiler

void ProtocolGame::parseCreatureJump(const InputMessagePtr& msg)
{
    // JumpCreature(self, creatureID, jumpHeight, jumpDuration, jumpStraight (0 (false) / 1 (true)))
    uint id = msg->getU32();
    uint32 jumpHeight = msg->getU32();
    uint32 jumpDuration = msg->getU32();
    bool jumpStraight = msg->getU8();
    CreaturePtr creature = g_map.getCreatureById(id);
    if (creature)
        creature->jump(jumpHeight, jumpDuration, jumpStraight);
    else
        g_logger.traceError(stdext::format("[ParseJumpCreature] :: Could not get creature with id %d", id));
}

creature.cpp :: find existing unused void Creature::jump(int, height, int duration) function and replace it:

Spoiler

void Creature::jump(int height, int duration, bool jumpStraight)
{
    if(!m_jumpOffset.isNull())
        return;

    m_jumpTimer.restart();
    m_jumpHeight = height;
    m_jumpDuration = duration;
    m_jumpStraight = jumpStraight;

    updateJump();
}

creature.cpp :: find function void Creature::updateJump() and replace it:

Spoiler

void Creature::updateJump()
{
    int t = m_jumpTimer.ticksElapsed();
    double a = -4 * m_jumpHeight / (m_jumpDuration * m_jumpDuration);
    double b = +4 * m_jumpHeight / (m_jumpDuration);

    double height = a*t*t + b*t;
    int roundHeight = stdext::round(height);
    int halfJumpDuration = m_jumpDuration / 2;

    // schedules next update
    if(m_jumpTimer.ticksElapsed() < m_jumpDuration) {
        if (m_jumpStraight) {
        m_jumpOffset = PointF(0, height);
        } else {
        m_jumpOffset = PointF(height, height);
        }

        int diff = 0;
        if(m_jumpTimer.ticksElapsed() < halfJumpDuration)
            diff = 1;
        else if(m_jumpTimer.ticksElapsed() > halfJumpDuration)
            diff = -1;

        int nextT, i = 1;
        do {
            nextT = stdext::round((-b + std::sqrt(std::max<double>(b*b + 4*a*(roundHeight+diff*i), 0.0)) * diff) / (2*a));
            ++i;

            if(nextT < halfJumpDuration)
                diff = 1;
            else if(nextT > halfJumpDuration)
                diff = -1;
        } while(nextT - m_jumpTimer.ticksElapsed() == 0 && i < 3);

        auto self = static_self_cast<Creature>();
        g_dispatcher.scheduleEvent([self] {
            self->updateJump();
        }, nextT - m_jumpTimer.ticksElapsed());
    }
    else
        m_jumpOffset = PointF(0, 0);
}

creature.h :: Declare m_jumpStraight , add it somewhere between "jump related" declarations, for example under: Timer m_jumpTimer

Spoiler

stdext::boolean<true> m_jumpStraight;

Server Side :
If you have TFS that can handle packet sending in LUA (data/lib/core/player.lua) you can add it there in​

data/lib/core/player.lua :

Spoiler

function Player.JumpCreature(self, creatureID, jumpHeight, jumpDuration, jumpStraight)
    local networkMessage = NetworkMessage()
    networkMessage:addByte(0x36) -- 54 : OTC
    networkMessage:addU32(creatureID)
    networkMessage:addU32(jumpHeight)
    networkMessage:addU32(jumpDuration)
    networkMessage:addByte(jumpStraight)
    networkMessage:sendToPlayer(self)
    networkMessage:delete()
    return true
end

otherwise you need to do it in sources, protocolgame etc.




Example Usage : ( for testing purposes talkaction ) :: Preview Click to Watch Video!

Spoiler

function onSay(player, words, param)

    local AreaX = 13 -- X range who will receive "jump packet" (all players in X range)
    local AreaY = 8 -- Y range who will receive "jump packet" (all players in Y range)

    -- getting Spectators around person who used jump
    local spectators = Game.getSpectators(player:getPosition(), false, true, AreaX, AreaX, AreaY, AreaY)
    if #spectators == 0 then
        return nil
    end

    -- Release of function // JumpCreature (self, creatureID, jumpHeight, jumpDuration, jumpStraight(true or false))
    for index, spectator in ipairs(spectators) do
        if spectator:getId() ~= player then
            playerID = player:getId()
            spectator:JumpCreature(playerID,100,1000,1)
        end
    end

    return true
end

AWESOME! That what i was actually looking for <3

This is exactly what i was gonna use it for (knockup), maybe there is even more stuff to do with it but i cant think about anything else for now case im tunneled for the knockup now ;p

But again thank you for sharing that code u are awesome !

 

[leovieirapsn]

make to tfs 0.4? :C

 

[Fresh]

make to tfs 0.4? :C

Basically in "server side" if you want to make it working with 0.4/older TFS, you just need to send valid packet to client.
That's only "server side" thing.

 

[leovieirapsn]

I will try here then, can you help me, in case I can't do it alone?

 

[Nekiro]

Nice release. I like it, nice math too btw XD

 

[Peonso]

Worked like a charm, thanks. Missed
replacing void Creature::jump(int height, int duration)
for void Creature::jump(int height, int duration, bool jumpStraight)
on creature.cpp.

 

[yokoderaxd]

Is it possible that with the jump I can jump an item of 1sqm that blocks the passage?

[ixSkeeted]

Good stuff. Do a kick flip.

 

[djblah]

there are changes to make it work in tfs 0.4

in creature.h change:

void jump(int height, int duration);

to:

void jump(int height, int duration, bool jumpStraight);
