Been getting into SQL, C++, and Java. Rather not add GML on top.

Don't want to go too far into detail and be sidetracked.
Client sided or Server, upon death the scoreboard skull is placed as an entity. Fades when player is close proximity.
Please make it accurate to where death came from, though simply spawning at a players origin is also acceptable.
If Server sided version, please include a menu that allows people to disable the plugin for them.

Can get a bit intrusive if say attempting dj_Moon dj_Flicky or dj_Tetris (a lot of death)

[BassMakesPaste]

GML is super fucking easy compared to C++ and Java. Imagine if you had a GUI that handled your objects for you and could only have single inheritance. Also no pointers or complex data structures except for the ones that they give you.

I haven't had Gang Garrison on my computer in years, so I can't test this out:

Code: [Select]

globalvar death_marker = id;

object_event_add(Character, ev_destroy, 0)
{
    if (player == global.myself)
        instance_create(x,y, death_marker.DeathObject);
}

object_event_add(death_marker.DeathObject, ev_create, 0)
{
    owner = global.myself;
    alpha = 1;
}

object_event_add(death_marker.DeathObject, ev_step, ev_step_begin)
{
    if (!instance_exists(owner.object))
        if (owner.object != -1)
           alpha = min(1 , distance_to_point(player.object.x,player.object.y))/100);
}

object_event_add(death_marker.DeathObject, ev_collision, Character)
{
    if (other.player == owner)
        instance_destroy();
}

object_event_add(death_marker.DeathObject, ev_draw, 0)
{
    draw_sprite_ext(SkullS,1,x,y,1,1,0,c_white,alpha);
}

Merged old posts, spammy. Switching SkullS to DeadS fixes the problem, but as always present others.

No errors on boot or spawn.

[edit]Yet there's a skull on the player before death that follows them around, rip

But dying (Death, Class switch, Team switch) at all then throws up these three with the latter two repeating.

[[FR]YB]

Not tested because I'm hosting, but this hopefully works

EDIT: tested, tweaked a bit, now works
If this gets listed, all credit to BassMakesPaste, obviously

Code: [Select]

globalvar death_marker;
death_marker = id;
DeathObject = object_add();
object_set_sprite(DeathObject, DeadS);

object_event_add(Character, ev_destroy, 0, '
    if (player == global.myself)
        instance_create(x,y, death_marker.DeathObject);
');

object_event_add(DeathObject, ev_create, 0, '
    owner = global.myself;
    alpha = 1;
');

object_event_add(DeathObject, ev_step, ev_step_begin, '
    if (!instance_exists(owner.object))
        if (owner.object != -1)
           alpha = min(1 , distance_to_point(owner.object.x,owner.object.y)/100);
');

object_event_add(DeathObject, ev_collision, Character, '
    if (other.player == owner)
        instance_destroy();
');


[Spazz]

Awesome, the code is a bit different but it works. However I wasn't looking for an instance_destroy() but some sort of fade. Did not realize it be behind the player to begin with so I just removed

Code: [Select]

object_event_add(DeathObject, ev_collision, Character, '
    if (other.player == owner)
        instance_destroy();
');
And it functions perfectly, thanks for the help!

[PrOF]

Added to the Client-side plugin directory under the name "Death Marker" - Author BassMakesPaste

[Derpduck]

Gradually lower alpha then destroy when it goes below 0 to fade it.
And you can change the depth of it if you want too.

[Spazz]

The request has no mention of destruction. The fade was in case the sprite was layered above the player and the player could no longer properly see the section. Hence 'fade when near', not 'fade out' and certainly not 'instance_destroy'

Since the code has layered it below the client user, but above any ally/opponent, this works flawlessly.

[Spazz]

What would I change to register another players death location? (Or just everyone on the server, client sided)
Ex. Spectating another and regardless of their death, a marker is also placed?

Yes this will then spam the sprite, but I'm looking to use it in controlled environments.
If anyone is curious, this is to help determine who proceeded farthest in a race type map

[Spazz]

Talked to YB, was simply the removal of

Code: [Select]

if (player == global.myself) to allow a client to see global death markers

[BassMakesPaste]

One could presumably add a statement to the draw event of the death object in order to draw the name of the individual:

Code: [Select]

if (instance_exists(owner))
{
    draw_set_halign(fa_left);
    draw_set_valign(fa_bottom);

    if (owner.team == TEAM_RED)
    {
    draw_set_color(c_red);
    } else if (owner.team == TEAM_BLUE {
    draw_set_color(c_blue);
    } else {
    draw_set_color(c_grey);
    }

    draw_text(x, y, owner.name)
}
This may need to be modified to fit GM8, however.

[Spazz]

Oh neat, I'll see what it can do.

However if a player died on a white background, the white DeadS would just blend in.
So YB pitched this,

Code: [Select]

object_event_add(DeathObject, ev_draw, 0, '
    draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, image_index, x, y, 1.2, 1.2, 0, c_black, 1);
    draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, image_index, x, y, 1, 1, 0, c_white, 1);
');
Yet Scaling is garbage, so I used a disgusting method to visually get what I wanted,

Code: [Select]

object_event_add(DeathObject, ev_draw, 0, '
    draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, image_index, x+1, y+1, 1, 1, 0, c_black, 1);
    draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, image_index, x+1, y-1, 1, 1, 0, c_black, 1);
    draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, image_index, x-1, y-1, 1, 1, 0, c_black, 1);
    draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, image_index, x-1, y+1, 1, 1, 0, c_black, 1);
    draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index, image_index, x, y, 1, 1, 0, c_white, 1);
');
Besides that, sometimes though it'll scrunch up the skull and I don't know why.

[Spazz]

Just noticed something extremely odd, reward objects that are part of death gibs collide with the skulls.
Something like Heenok's Crown

if image_alpha <= 0.05 instance_destroy();
}
}
');
object_event_add(global.DeathObject,ev_draw,0, '
draw_set_alpha(image_alpha);
draw_sprite(sprite_index,image_index,x,y);

object_event_add(Character, ev_destroy, 0, '
