back stab all directions

Notorius · April 27, 2023

Hello Rathena, I have a question, how do I change the direction of the skill back stab? to work in all directions

	case RG_BACKSTAP:
		{
			if (!check_distance_bl(src, bl, 0)) {
#ifdef RENEWAL
				uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src, bl->x, bl->y);
				short x, y;

				if (dir > 0 && dir < 4)
					x = -1;
				else if (dir > 4)
					x = 1;
				else
					x = 0;

				if (dir > 2 && dir < 6)
					y = -1;
				else if (dir == 7 || dir < 2)
					y = 1;
				else
					y = 0;

				if (battle_check_target(src, bl, BCT_ENEMY) > 0 && unit_movepos(src, bl->x + x, bl->y + y, 2, true)) { // Display movement + animation.
#else
				uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src, bl->x, bl->y), t_dir = unit_getdir(bl);

				if (!map_check_dir(dir, t_dir) || bl->type == BL_SKILL) {
#endif
					status_change_end(src, SC_HIDING, INVALID_TIMER);
					dir = dir < 4 ? dir+4 : dir-4; // change direction [Celest]
					unit_setdir(bl,dir);
#ifdef RENEWAL
					clif_blown(src);
#endif
					skill_attack(BF_WEAPON, src, src, bl, skill_id, skill_lv, tick, flag);
				}
				else if (sd)
					clif_skill_fail(sd,skill_id,USESKILL_FAIL_LEVEL,0);
			}
		}
		break;

Can you elaborate what you mean? right now you use the skill and it puts you behind the target no matter where you started as far as i know, what exactly is it that you want it to do?

I want the backstab skill to work from all directions without having to be behind its target

You dont have to be behind to use it..

I think if it should be behind the target or in the case of my emulator if it should be behind I don't know how to edit it so that it works from any direction

Update your rA to the latest one.

Your server setting might be in Renewal, it's like that by default. If you want to change it

Find:

				case RG_BACKSTAP:
						{
#ifndef RENEWAL
								uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src,target->x,target->y), t_dir = unit_getdir(target);

								if (map_check_dir(dir, t_dir))
									return USESKILL_FAIL_MAX;
#endif

								if (check_distance_bl(src, target, 0))
									return USESKILL_FAIL_MAX;
						}
						break;

Change to:

				case RG_BACKSTAP:
						{
								if (check_distance_bl(src, target, 0))
									return USESKILL_FAIL_MAX;
						}
						break;

Hello, my server is pre-renewal and this is the only line that I can find the change for the second one that you sent me?

Try this:

	case RG_BACKSTAP:
		{
			if (!check_distance_bl(src, bl, 0)) {
#ifdef RENEWAL
				uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src, bl->x, bl->y);
				short x, y;

				if (dir > 0 && dir < 4)
					x = -1;
				else if (dir > 4)
					x = 1;
				else
					x = 0;

				if (dir > 2 && dir < 6)
					y = -1;
				else if (dir == 7 || dir < 2)
					y = 1;
				else
					y = 0;

				if (battle_check_target(src, bl, BCT_ENEMY) > 0 && unit_movepos(src, bl->x + x, bl->y + y, 2, true)) { // Display movement + animation.
#else
				uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src, bl->x, bl->y), t_dir = unit_getdir(bl);

				if (bl->type == BL_SKILL) { // Changed Here (Removed Direction Check)
#endif
					status_change_end(src, SC_HIDING, INVALID_TIMER);
					dir = dir < 4 ? dir+4 : dir-4; // change direction [Celest]
					unit_setdir(bl,dir);
#ifdef RENEWAL
					clif_blown(src);
#endif
					skill_attack(BF_WEAPON, src, src, bl, skill_id, skill_lv, tick, flag);
				}
				else if (sd)
					clif_skill_fail(sd,skill_id,USESKILL_FAIL_LEVEL,0);
			}
		}
		break;

it didn't work

joecalis · May 1, 2023

in your skill.cpp search all the "case RG_BACKSTAP:" copy it all until the "break;" and paste all the codes here, maybe it's checking the direction somewhere else.

This is the one that changed but the skill stopped working so I returned it to how it is, that is, like this

	case RG_BACKSTAP:
		{
			if (!check_distance_bl(src, bl, 0)) {
#ifdef RENEWAL
				uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src, bl->x, bl->y);
				short x, y;

				if (dir > 0 && dir < 4)
					x = -1;
				else if (dir > 4)
					x = 1;
				else
					x = 0;

				if (dir > 2 && dir < 6)
					y = -1;
				else if (dir == 7 || dir < 2)
					y = 1;
				else
					y = 0;

				if (battle_check_target(src, bl, BCT_ENEMY) > 0 && unit_movepos(src, bl->x + x, bl->y + y, 2, true)) { // Display movement + animation.
#else
				uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src, bl->x, bl->y), t_dir = unit_getdir(bl);

				if (!map_check_dir(dir, t_dir) || bl->type == BL_SKILL) {
#endif
					status_change_end(src, SC_HIDING, INVALID_TIMER);
					dir = dir < 4 ? dir+4 : dir-4; // change direction [Celest]
					unit_setdir(bl,dir);
#ifdef RENEWAL
					clif_blown(src);
#endif
					skill_attack(BF_WEAPON, src, src, bl, skill_id, skill_lv, tick, flag);
				}
				else if (sd)
					clif_skill_fail(sd,skill_id,USESKILL_FAIL_LEVEL,0);
			}
		}
		break;

and I have the other one like this but that one did not change anything, it was the first one to change

		case RG_BACKSTAP:
			{
				if (check_distance_bl(src, target, 0))
					return USESKILL_FAIL_MAX;
			}
			break;

The one I quoted, replace all of that with this:

	case RG_BACKSTAP:
		{
			uint8 dir = map_calc_dir(src, bl->x, bl->y), t_dir = unit_getdir(bl);

			if (!check_distance_bl(src, bl, 0) || bl->type == BL_SKILL) {

			}
			else if (sd)
				clif_skill_fail(sd,skill_id,USESKILL_FAIL_LEVEL,0);

still not working

blinzer · May 23, 2023

i got you.

goes without saying, but you have to compile after making these changes

Edited May 23, 2023 by blinzer

shyguy · August 27, 2023

Hello @Notorius.

Did you get this to work? I have the same issue.

Tried to change the code to what @blinzer posted but no luck... Backstab can only be casted behind the target... I even tried using the renewal code on my pre-renewal setup, but no luck. Nothing let's me backstab from the front.

If anyone can help would be really happy.

I am using the latest build as per today (27.08.23)

Thank you!!
