How do Action Nodes Work?
« on: March 24, 2014, 05:38:38 PM »
Im kind of scared that someone will get angry because I posted multiple topics in the run of a day but anyways.

I want to combine some of Gary's boss style, Johnny's boss style and Jimmy's default style and found out that this is done with something called "Action Nodes". I found out they are in act.img and I extracted 2 files from it. "Nemesis.cat" and "g_johnny.cat".

I now want to combine Johnny's haymaker and his badass kick where he spits on the victim with Gary's 2 strong strike punches but I have no clue how action nodes work and found no help from google.

This topic would probably explain more or less how Action Nodes work in Lua

HxD the 2 files you extracted and keep trying.
An action node usually looks like this :

Path/actionnode

Example(not a real action node) :
Anim/heavy/grapple/bearhug

Whats wrong with this code?

And can someone tell me another freeroam script besides Stimecycle?

MissionSetup = function()
  local l_1_0 = 270
  local l_1_1 = -110
  local l_1_2 = 6.4000000953674
  AreaTransitionXYZ(0, l_1_0, l_1_1, l_1_2)
  PedSetTypeToTypeAttitude(2, 13, 2)
  PedSetTypeToTypeAttitude(1, 13, 2)
  PedSetTypeToTypeAttitude(4, 13, 2)
  PedSetTypeToTypeAttitude(5, 13, 2)
  PedSetTypeToTypeAttitude(6, 13, 2)
  PedSetTypeToTypeAttitude(11, 13, 2)
end

TL_Buttons = function()
        if IsButtonPressed(15, 1) and IsButtonPressed(2, 1) then
          px,py,pz = PlayerGetPosXYZ()
        TextPrintString("Player Pos: "..px..",  "..py..",  "..pz.."Area:"..AreaGetVisible(), 4, 2)
         Wait(1000)
        elseif IsButtonPressed(7, 0) and IsButtonPressed(12, 0) then
          PedSetActionNode(gPlayer, "/ThroatGrab/ThroatGrab_Gv", "Act/g_johnny")
                 Wait(1000)
    end
end

main = function()
  Load("Act/Dialog.act")
  Load("Act/Debug.act")
  F_TableInit()
  CreateThread("TL_Buttons")
  gMissionRunning = true
  while gMissionRunning do
    UpdateTextQueue()
    TL_Buttons()
      Wait(0)
   end
end
   
   MissionCleanup = function()
  EnablePOI()
  gMissionRunning = false
end

I go in game then press button 15 on my controller (according to the thread above its press down on right analog) and nothing happens.

You need to repeat the TL button function in the Main function as shown here :

main = function
repeat
FUNCTION HERE
Wait(0)
until not Alive

This right? When I tried compiling it I got this in CMD:

luac: fs.lua:39: '<' expected near 'repeat'

I suck at this. :unsure:

Lua tells you what line you fault at :P just scroll down the numbers in notepad++

main = function()
repeat
        if IsButtonPressed(15, 1) and IsButtonPressed(2, 1) then
          px,py,pz = PlayerGetPosXYZ()
        TextPrintString("Player Pos: "..px..",  "..py..",  "..pz.."Area:"..AreaGetVisible(), 4, 2)
         Wait(1000)
        elseif IsButtonPressed(7, 0) and IsButtonPressed(12, 0) then
          PedSetActionNode(gPlayer, "/ThroatGrab/ThroatGrab_Gv", "Act/g_johnny")
                 Wait(1000)
Wait(0)
until not Alive
   end
->end<-

Just add another "end"

Did you put the "end" between those two waits? You need to end the "if" before you get to the "until".
Code: [Select]
main = function()
repeat
 if IsButtonPressed(15, 1) and IsButtonPressed(2, 1) then
          px,py,pz = PlayerGetPosXYZ()
        TextPrintString("Player Pos: "..px..",  "..py..",  "..pz.."Area:"..AreaGetVisible(), 4, 2)
         Wait(1000)
        elseif IsButtonPressed(7, 0) and IsButtonPressed(12, 0) then
          PedSetActionNode(gPlayer, "/ThroatGrab/ThroatGrab_Gv", "Act/g_johnny")
 Wait(1000)
end 
Wait(0)
until not Alive
 end

That worked. Im now inserting it into scripts.img and waiting for it to give me another error. :L

Try " if IsButtonPressed(2, 1) then " (zoom in)
and " elseif IsButtonPressed(14, 0) then "  (look back)
