Lay Items Problem

[qw3rt]

Hi

I would liked to script a simple baddy but i have a problem,i'm sure its simple but i can't find a solution

PHP Code:

if (timeout && this.mode==4) {
  i = random(0,100);
  if (i<50) lay bombs; lay bombs;
  if (i>50) lay darts; 


that's a part of the script its about when the baddy die i would like it lays bombs or arrows.

It works, but the problem is it lay 1 bombs icon and when i take it, it gives me 10 bombs.
Me I would like it lay ,instead of 1bombs icons and 10 bombs, 2 bombs icons and 10 bombs.

Thanks, i hope i explained it well.

I hope this helps

  if (i<50) { 
    lay bombs; 
    lay bombs; 
  }

You can also lay bombs in a certain area, but you can't change the amount you receive

  lay2 bombs, x, y + 2;

Will lay bombs 2 tiles down from the baddy

(GS2 Converted- will only work online)

lay("bombs");
lay2("bombs", this.x, this.y + 2);

I think he wants to make it so you pick up 5 bombs instead of 10 bombs.

Oh, I see what happened.

lay("bombs");
lay2("bombs", this.x, this.y + 2);

Yep thanks

i used like this and it works :

PHP Code:

 if (i<50)
    lay2 bombs,x,y+2;lay2 bombs,x,y; 


In fact it gaves me 2 bombs icons but it messed cause the secand icons was hidden by the first one, due to the same lay position.

thanks

Note that this probably doesn't work like you want.

Your code currently reads like:

PHP Code:

if (i < 50) {
    lay2 bombs,x,y+2;
}
lay2 bombs,x,y; 


The second statement, lay2 bombs,x,y;, will always be executed in this situation.
If statements without brackets will only work for the next statement.

What you want is something like:

PHP Code:

if (i < 50) {
  lay2 bombs,x,y+2;
  lay2 bombs,x,y;
}

Also:

PHP Code:

if (i < 50) {
  lay2 bombs,x-random(-2,2),y-random(-2,2);
  lay2 bombs,x-random(-2,2),y-random(-2,2);
} 


Will take care of the problem of everything stacking in the same place.
