Hi,
as for a player entity to be in godmode, which one should I use?
Syntax: Select all
from entities.constants import EntityStates
from players.constants import LifeState
from players.entity import PlayerEntity
from players.helpers import index_from_userid
from events import Event
@Event
def player_say(game_event):
player = PlayerEntity(index_from_userid(game_event.get_int('userid')))
"""GodMode"""
# manually
player.life_state = 0
# LifeState constants
player.life_state = LifeState.DEAD # is this the equivalent to 0 ??
# EntityStates constants
player.life_state = EntityStates.GODMOD
or, more precisely: What's the different between EntityStates and LifeState?

To set life_state, you would want to use LifeState values. Though, ideally, you would really set the m_takedamage property using the entities.constants.TakeDamage enum.

Why? it seems a bit odd using Entity constants for Players lol
is LifeState.DEAD the correct value here?

Players are entities. Using m_takedamage allows you to set it so that an entity/player does not take damage. This is a true godmode instead of being tricky with life states.

Yeah I kinda thought of it that way but I wasn't sure. Thanks, I'll look into it

As far as LifeState values, for any enum class, to get the 'real' value of each member, you can use:
Syntax: Select all
for name in dir(LifeState):
if not name.isupper():
continue
print(name, getattr(LifeState, name).real)

Good to know, thanks.

What would be the most convenient way of using m_takedamage? Is there a property for it or should I use player.set_property_bool (or int?) for it?

If I remember right, it's uchar. If you try getting/setting it with the wrong method name, it will raise an error that will tell you the correct type to use. Also, you want to use entities.constants.TakeDamage types to set it. Currently, there is no Entity attribute added via the data. The issue is finding the right name. We already have a take_damage method and an on_take_damage virtual function.

Yes it's uchar:
Syntax: Select all
from entities.constants import TakeDamage
player.set_property_uchar('m_takedamage', TakeDamage.YES) #no godmode
player.set_property_uchar('m_takedamage', TakeDamage.NO) #godmode

We could name it Entity.damageable or something
