Hi

This is the code that I am using :-

Code:

---

vec_set(temp,my.x);
temp[2] -= 4000; // calculate a position 4000 quants below the player		
result=c_trace(my.x,temp,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_PASSENTS);

---

It is giving me an error "machine code generator : cannot translate GETPVALUE : FIXED " on line 3(the line with c_trace)

I'm using A7.07 Pro.Anyone ?

Hi zazang,

i tried your code and it compiled without problems.

You have more of your lite-c script to try? Mayby the error depends from other problems in your program?

Sorry, for not being very helpful.

Hi dinosaur,

Thanks for trying it for me.
Here is the full code :-

Code:

---

  

action puddle() 
{
	ent_playsound(my,smallsplash,120);
	set(my,PASSABLE);	
	my.scale_x = 1.3;
	my.scale_y = 1.3;
	my.scale_z = 1.3;
	my.skill28 = 0;

	vec_set(temp,my.x);
	temp[2] -= 4000;
	result = c_trace(my.x,temp,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_PASSENTS);// subtract vertical distance to ground
	if (result < 10) {
		my.z -= (result - 1);
		vec_to_angle(temp,normal.x);
		my.tilt = temp[1];
		my.pan = temp[0];
	}
	
	vec_set(temp,my.x);
	temp[0] += 70 * cos(player.pan);
	temp[1] += 70 * sin(player.pan);
   result = c_trace(my.x,temp,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_PASSENTS);
	if (result < 10 && result > 0) 
	 {
		my.z -= (result - 1);
		vec_to_angle(temp,normal.x);
		my.tilt = temp[1];
		my.pan = temp[0];
		my.z += 30;
		if (my.tilt < 30) { my.skill28 = 1; }
	 }

   set(my,TRANSLUCENT);
	my.alpha = 18;
	while (my.alpha > 0) 
	{
		my.alpha -= 0.4 * time_step;
		my.scale_x += 0.06 * time_step;
		my.scale_y += 0.06 * time_step;
		my.scale_z += 0.06 * time_step;
		if (my.skill28 == 1) 
		{
			my.z -= 4.5 * time_step;
			my.scale_x -= 0.02 * time_step;
			my.scale_y += 0.06 * time_step;
		}
		wait(1);
	}
	ent_remove(my);
}

The problem is happening in every line that has "result" in it.
Which version of the engine did u try this ?
Thanks !

Hi zazang,

First: I use A7.07.

I could get the following error :
machine code generator: can not translate GETPVALUE:LONG::FIXED

if i try to declare a member with the name 'result'

'result' is an internal member and should not be declared in your code.
The engine declares this for you.

Hope i could help you with that.

Thanks so much for the quick reply but I have not declared result anywhere

I fixed it.
Reasons why it made an error:
1.LiteC isn't so friendly with predefined vectors to use temp

2.Temp vector isn't the best solution anyway.
3.Nothing were wrong with result.

So, the mighty script:
Code:

---

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
VECTOR t_v;

function puddle_a() 
{
//	ent_playsound(my,smallsplash,120);
	set(my,PASSABLE);
	vec_set(my.scale_x,vector(1.3,1.3,1.3));	
	my.skill28 = 0;

	vec_set(t_v,my.x);
	t_v.z -= 4000;
	result = c_trace(my.x,t_v,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_PASSENTS);// subtract vertical distance to ground
	if (result < 10) {
		my.z -= (result - 1);
		vec_to_angle(t_v,normal.x);my.tilt = t_v.y;my.pan = t_v.x;
	}
	
	vec_set(t_v,my.x);
	t_v.x += 70 * cos(camera.pan);t_v.y += 70 * sin(camera.pan);
    result = c_trace(my.x,t_v,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_PASSENTS);
	if (result < 10 && result > 0) 
	 {
		my.z -= (result - 1);
		vec_to_angle(t_v,normal.x);
		my.tilt = t_v.y;my.pan = t_v.x;my.z += 30;
		if (my.tilt < 30) { my.skill28 = 1; }
	 }

	set(my,TRANSLUCENT);
	my.alpha = 18;
	while (my.alpha > 0) 
	{
		my.alpha -= 0.4 * time_step;
		my.scale_x += 0.06 * time_step;my.scale_y += 0.06 * time_step;my.scale_z += 0.06 * time_step;
		if (my.skill28 == 1) 
		{
			my.z -= 4.5 * time_step;
			my.scale_x -= 0.02 * time_step;my.scale_y += 0.06 * time_step;
		}
		wait(1);
	}
	ent_remove(my);
}
function main()
{video_window(nullvector,nullvector,1,"c_rotate test");video_switch(8,0,1);
fps_max = 64;detail_size = 64;vec_set(sky_color,vector(192,160,128));
level_load("map_water.hmp");
wait(3);
ent_create("test.mdl",vector(-256,0,128),puddle_a);
}

Hi

Even this code did not help.However I finally fixed it.
I replaced "REsult" with my own var like this :-

Code:

---

vec_set(temp,my.x);
	temp[2] -= 4000;
	dist = c_trace(my.x,temp,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_MODELS|IGNORE_SPRITES|IGNORE_PASSENTS);
	if (dist < 10) {
		my.z -= (dist - 1);
		vec_to_angle(temp,normal.x);
		my.tilt = temp[1];
		my.pan = temp[0];
	}

I think this error looks like machine specific,which is scary !
Thanks so much for the help.
