Development Forum 'New Carrots' Not Growing    Malkin    Manager     7/14/2013 So I found this 'newcarrots.cos' file on a HomeCreatures site. I'm trying out the object in my world, and the carrot seedling appears, but does not seem to grow at all, before eventually vanishing. Can anyone tell me why this might be so? inst reps 10 new: simp 2 11 55500 "carr2" 9 0 500 attr 199 accg 5 aero 20 bhvr 48 elas 0 mvto rand 500 1200 500 setv ov61 60 setv ov20 30 setv ov15 -10 emit 8 0.5 perm 60 setv ov10 50 setv ov11 3000 tick 50 repe endm scrp 2 11 55500 9 doif pose lt 6 addv ov15 1 addv ov20 1 setv va67 totl 2 11 55500 doif va67 > 49 setv va68 rand 0 1 subv ov20 va68 endi doif ov20 ge 30 doif pose lt 5 subv ov20 30 setv va00 pose pose va00 else setv va70 rand -1 1 setv va10 ov10 setv va11 ov11 addv va10 va70 mulv va70 25 addv va11 va70 setv va30 posx setv va31 post setv va73 rand -30 30 addv va30 va73 new: simp 2 11 55500 "carr2" 9 0 50 attr 199 accg 5 aero 20 bhvr 48 elas 0 mvto va30 va31 setv ov61 60 setv ov20 100 setv ov15 -10 emit 8 0.5 perm 60 setv ov10 va10 setv ov11 va11 tick va10 slow endi endi doif ov15 ge ov11 pose 7 wait 500 altr room targ 4 0.01 altr room targ 3 0.01 kill ownr endi endi endm scrp 2 11 55500 12 stim writ from 79 1.5 snde "chwp" kill ownr setv va40 totl 2 11 55500 doif va40 lt 3 new: simp 2 11 55500 "carr2" 9 0 50 attr 199 accg 5 aero 20 bhvr 48 elas 0 mvto rand 500 1200 500 setv ov61 60 setv ov20 100 setv ov15 -10 emit 8 0.5 perm 60 setv ov10 50 setv ov11 3000 tick 50 slow endi endm My TCR Norns   Malkin Manager     9/12/2013 So, a little birdie tells me that it looks like the pose is never incremented up. The lines that have been identified are: setv va00 pose pose va00 which set va00 equal to the current pose, but does not increment it by one (allowing the carrot to grow) before setting pose to equal va00. My TCR Norns   Mad Scientist clohse     9/14/2013 Did that help? Since I didn't have the matching image file I tried it with another carrot sprite and got a bounding box error when the pose changed. I'm hoping that doesn't happen when it uses the image it was meant to use. CLohse's Norns at the Creatures Repository   Malkin Manager     9/14/2013 I think it uses the C2 carrot image. Incrementing the pose up by 1 did cause it to change poses once before autokilling. Injecting it without autokill has proved interesting - the carrots seem to be visible, gettable and edible before they're ripe.. But solving the autokill should come first. According to this, bounding box errors only happen when the sprite file is of different sizes? My TCR Norns   Malkin Manager     11/5/2013 I had another thought on this - could it cause errors when eaten, because the item is killed with kill ownr before it checks the population to see if another item should spawn? My TCR Norns   Peppery One Papriko   11/5/2013 Guess so. AFAIK can a kill targ'd agent no longer execute scripts. Anything after kill ownr is basically ignored. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...   Malkin Manager     11/5/2013 Thanks! So now I'm thinking that the problem is this part of the code here: doif ov15 ge ov11 pose 7 wait 500 altr room targ 4 0.01 altr room targ 3 0.01 kill ownr endi Which kills off the carrot by changing it from being a ripe, plump, carrot at pose 6 (width 48 and height 16) to being an upright, wilted carrot at pose 7 (width 16 and height 48). Does this sound like a plausible theory? My TCR Norns   Mad Scientist clohse     11/5/2013 That does sound to me like a bounding box error. CLohse's Norns at the Creatures Repository   Malkin Manager     11/5/2013 In the code, though, it comes far later than the autokill problem... The initial sprout itself is far smaller than its compatriots - perhaps that is the problem?
