If an action requires a marker index parameter then it needs to be of type 4, otherwise the game crashes

adrientd

Oh that's possible indeed

pegperegogaucho

Yup

pegperegogaucho

Nice work on the MsgAction actions, I see that you have already Implemented named actions!

adrientd

Yep, and the list of parameters with their names as well!

adrientd

All this stored in a JSON, so whenever something gets discovered it's just a matter of adding it in the JSON.

Indeed, I have a proposal for the other remaining actions:

Download SquadMsgActions.json:

All the actions from 0 to 20, excluding 13 because i'm not sure

pegperegogaucho

For the comparators you can have a value between 0 and 5 which will define the comparison operator {==, !=, <, <=, >, >=}, So a value of 3 would check if the number you entered is less or equal to the current amount of spawned enemies and if true it will continue of the following actions (for example respawning enemies)

adrientd

Wow you're very fast :LUL:

pegperegogaucho

I had many documented in the making of UXXL 2 😁

adrientd

And yeah, I've seen 5 was some sort conditional break, and wondered why second argument was always three

pegperegogaucho

But some were unused by the game (6, 7, 11, 9) so I recently looked at the code

adrientd

But I honestly didn't look at them much.

adrientd

Thank you very much! I will take a look.

pegperegogaucho

No problem buddy!

With action 16 it's kind of weird: It will not compare the value with the number of killed enemies but rather the number of spawned enemies, so whenever an enemy gets spawned it will increment the number.

adrientd

I noticed you swapped "Respawn" and "Set max num enm" between actions 8 and 20: however I've seen in the squad at the beginning of Greece that it uses 20 to respawn an enemy after one dies, and also some squads have the U1, U2 numbers in the pool to 0 and use action 8 to "enable" them by setting a non-null value.

adrientd

I know the difference between them is kind of confusing. Might need to find better names.

pegperegogaucho

AFAIK 8 spawns a specific amount of enemies of a pool while 20 will spawn as many as needed to meet the amount specified (i.e. 1 alive, value is 4 -> 3 get spawned)
