[Stonecutter]

This addon is an update to Krabs' anglestand script found here.

Spoiler

- Tails' tails no longer disappear when he enters his idle animation.
- This script no longer affects players in strafe mode, this resolves the issue with Tails' tails appearing at wrong angles when in strafe mode. If you would like to be able to use this script in strafe mode, let me know and I'll come up with another solution.

- No longer begins players' idle animation when they are super.

v1.3
- Extends autoturn prevention to edge animations.
- Tweaks idle speed for increased accuracy to the vanilla idle animation.

What happened to my response to your message?

 

[D00D64]

Alright, everything checks out, so welcome to releases!

EDIT: Oh, you got me on the post-approval cleanup, sorry about that. I read it, so its all fine.

 

[Stonecutter]

I did tell Krabs about this.

Based on my lack of confidence in my coding skills, I decided to go with Krabs' suggestion of starting a new thread.

 

[Simon_T]

Now we just need AngleEdge (don't autoturn when on an edge)

 

[Stonecutter]

Done.



I've updated to v1.3. Now, this addon prevents autoturning when teetering.

Tails's tails disappear during his waiting animation with this mod on.

 

[Stonecutter]

I'll look into it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to fix it this week though.

This also brings out Super Sonic's "waiting animation". It consists of a yellow standard Sonic sprite, as he's normally not meant to have one. Another thing is that the angle that the character is facing probably shouldn't change when in an ACZ 2 mine cart. It looks unsettling.

 

[Stonecutter]

Thanks for the bug report. I've updated the "Known Issues" section of the page accordingly, and will resolve them as soon as I have time.

Tails's tails just... rip off of Tails's ass when playing Strafe

What's that cool HUD you got in that screenshot?

 

[Zippy_Zolton]

Issue: This doesn't account for minecarts, you still stay in the same angle, resulting in the possibility of being stared at.

 

[Icezer]

So uh
Super Forms use idle frames.
EDIT: Just realized this was already pointed out.

 

[Stonecutter]

I finally found time to get back to this. Anglestand is now updated to v1.4 which resolves the following issues:
- super forms no longer use idle frames
- now accounts for minecarts
- tails' tails no longer disappear when he enters his idle animation
- no longer affects players in strafe mode.


Let me know if you find any more bugs or if you want to be able to use this in strafe mode.

 

[GrayAngel]

Nice. It's always bothered me that I had to change control style just to see my character's face. lol

 

[BravenwolfTFS]

Little bug I noticed that happens specifically with SMS. I don't know if you'll add compatibility to fix this, but I figured I'd report it anyway, since I play SMS fairly regularly.

If you're playing as SMS and turn into HMS, the idle animation still tries to play because of this script. It ends up using SMS's idle sprites, so he appears to have detransformed. Would be cool if there was some sort of patch to prevent that, since I really like the new update to this otherwise.

 

[Revolution]

Another couple of bugs I found: Tails's tails don't disappear when in objectplace mode. And sometimes, his tails aren't properly adjusted to the angle he's facing while teleporting.

Made that myself. Not public, sadly.

Thanks for the bug report! In truth, this was the first time I'd heard of objectplace mode, but I have no excuse for the other issues that Tails has had. I haven't been playtesting this as much as I should have prior to releasing updates.


I've updated the Known Issues section of this page and will address these bugs in the next update.

Doesn't sound like that'll be difficult to fix. I'll try to fix SMS support in the next update as well.

Turns out that the objectplace issues can't be fixed from lua alone. It'll have to wait until SRB2 2.2.9.


Edit: I jumped to conclusions. I misunderstood the issue and believed that I would need to detect objectplace being active from lua, which is not possible in version 2.2.8. The issue, however, is what happens when you leave objectplace mode though, isn't it? If so, then the same fix that fixes the teleportation issue should also resolve the objectplace issue.
