2 Questions
 

One is...Say I wanted to script a gun or something. What would be the best way to do the bullets? also...Can someone explain how to use the board command

1. I guess you could either use putnpc or showimg, I am not sure which one is better, but I would use... showimg, it's less trouble and all scripting is withing one NPC...

2. I dunno...

no way am i using putnpc, maybe arrays to keep track of showimg accept i dont know how to use arrays in graal

I would use arrays.
array example:

NPC Code:

---

// to make an array do this:

// setarray arrayname,size;

// as in this example:

setarray this.values,10;

/*

to set values in an array do this:

arrayname[indexnumber] = value;

the first index in every array is 0.

so if you have an array that you set to size 100

than its 0-99.

as in this example:

*/

this.values[0] = 1;

this.values[9] = 5;

/*

that is the hard way to do it though,

this is easier:

*/

this.values = {1,0,0,0,1,2,3};

/*

that will set an array with 7 values (0-6)

and can be called as so:

*/

this.newnumber = this.values[5];

/*

Meaning that this.newnumber would equal 2

*/

Mostly with big arrays you put them thru a for loop,

like in this rain example:

*/

// Rain script:

if (created) {

setarray this.rainx,100;

setarray this.rainy,100;

 for (i=0;i<arraylen(this.rainx);i++;) {

/* arraylen(arrayname)  <-- gives you the amount of indexes in the array.*/

  this.rainx[i] = random(0,64);

  this.rainy[i] = random(0,64);

 }

}

if (playerenters||timeout) {

 for (i=0;i<arraylen(this.rainx);i++;) {

// Shows rain:

showimg i+500,@.,this.rainx[i],this.rainy;

// Puts the rain above the player:

changeimgvis i+500,3;

// If the rain reaches the end of the screen it will repeat:

this.rainx[i]+=(this.rainx[i]>64 ? -64 : 0);

this.rainy[i]+=(this.rainy[i]>64 ? -64 : 0);

/*

if this:

this.rainx[i]+=(this.rainx[i]>64 ? -64 : 0);

looks weird, what it is, is a condition, if you look, the syntax is this:

(condition ? a : b)

if the condition is true than it goes to a otherwise it goes to b.

If it doesn't make sence im me we can talk about it.

*/

 }

timeout=.05;

}

hope I typed that right and I also hope it helps.

*ZOOOOOOOOOM OVER MY HEAD*

Yeah, me too :(

Really? :-/ im me (PastAustin) and I can explain it better.

forget second part, Supersonic is teaching me

if (playertouchsme) {
setstring Ammo,15;
toweapons name;
}

if (weaponfired) {
i = strtofloat(#s(Ammo)) - 1;
play fire.wav;
if (i == 0) {
setstring Ammo,;
destroy;
}
setstring Ammo,#v(i);
}


If you where smart, you would look on the npc scripting page first ;/

the new varialble tile[x,y] is a lot better

silly kai

you are just funny

take it as a good thing

how do you use the tile command, i never understood how to read a certain tile
(example snow)

kai is totally right, not a command, its a variable

anways you use it to set the tile at x,y to a certain tile

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats) {

  tokenize #c;

  if (strequals(#t(0),changetile)&&tokenscount==4) {

    if (strtofloat(#t(1)) in |0,64|&&strtofloat(#t(2)) in |0,64|) {

      tiles[strtofloat(#t(1)),strtofloat(#t(2))]=strtofloat(#t(3));

      setplayerprop #c, ;

    }

  }

}

---

forgot to mention what you need to do to get this to work


just say changetile xcoordinate ycoordinate tilenumber

Board[]? where did that come from?

yeah board[] is useless with changetile...

My question wasn't worded correctly.
ok say that i am on the sand. i want the player to move slower but if he was on grass he would move normally.
now how would i get it to check when he is on sand and when he is on grass

purely because i haven't used tile i'll use board.

NPC Code:

---

while (true) {

this.tile = board[playerx+1.5+64*playery+2];

 for(i=0;i<3;i++;) {

  if (this.tile==511&&keydown(i)) {

playerx+=vecx(playerdir);

playery+=vecy(playerdir);

  }

 }

sleep .05;

}

thats just a rough draft, but kinda like that.

now i see, i guess i missed that...

Yes however an example would have been nice. because again i have never scripted anything like this before and dont know where to get the tile values from, it may be somewhere stupid but i aint seen it :(

Oh now i get ya!!!!!!
thanks dude that has just made a lot of my scripts a lot easier now :)

lol
