Ncreate parameters

[ctrl_void]

What are the last 2 parameters of Ncreate supposed to do:

Ncreate(... advset, cdata)

I'm reading the rotating flamethrower example, but without this info it's hard to understand.

I'm not sure what they do, but I think they are when you are making really complex NPC scripts

[NCreate]
NCreate(id, x, y, sx, sy, advset, cdata)
Returns the permanent ID(double type) of the NPC created.
id(Double) type-ID of the NPC , eg: 1 for a goomba
x(Double) x-position of the NPC
y(Double) y-position of the NPC
sx(Double) x-axis speed of the NPC
sy(Double) x-axis speed of the NPC
advset(Double) additional data of the NPC.Default:0
cdata(Double) creation information.Default:0

The permanent ID returned will become effective in the next frame of the creation.The NPC is not really created immediately in the frame the script is executed.


I read this on .rtf SMBx Scripting Help. On procedures.

Still didn't help... I already read the help file

.advset is the advanced setting number of an npc , for example , if you place a flying koopa and don't change it's variantion , it'll jump and the .advset of the flying koopa is 1 . But if you open the advanced setting window of the flying koopa and turn "Jump" to "Chase" , the .advset turns to 0 from 1 .
Every npc's .advset would make the npcs to have different movements . ( except the npcs with only one way to move . )
the cdata is the way that the npc spawn . for example , if the number is 0 the npc will spawn instandly . if the cdata is 5 the npc will be warped out .
Hope it can help you ;)

But in the rotating flamethrower example, Ncreate() is used to create npc-340, which is the flamethrower, and it has 3 different fields to adjust:

- Angle
- Delay
- Lenght

So how can only one number set all those 3 parameters?

3 paramters could finally be saved as one variable(.advset), look the flamethrower example and you will know how it archive

I realized that I need urgent help to understand this example
