Lookie, it moves!

you could use the move command to and put it in a timeout loop

[la_builder]

mean this one








// NPC made by aylad
if (playerenters || wasthrown) {
// Initialize the this. variables
dirgo = {0,-1,-1,0,0,1,1,0};
timeout = 0.05;
this.walkmode = 1;
if (wasthrown && this.walkmode>1) this.walkmode = 1;
this.x1 = 0;
this.x2 = 63;
this.y1 = 0;
this.y2 = 63;
this.speed = 0.08;
this.mode = 0;
this.runcounter = int(random(10,40));
}

// Walking stuff
if (timeout && this.mode==0) { // WALKING
newx = x + dirgo[dir*2] * this.speed;
newy = y + dirgo[dir*2+1] * this.speed;
this.runcounter--;
if (this.walkmode==1) { // RANDOM
if (this.runcounter>0) {
testx = newx + 1.5 + dirgo[dir*2];
testy = newy + 2+ dirgo[dir*2+1];
if (onwall(testx,testy)) {
dir = (dir+2)%4;
this.runcounter = int(random(0,60));
} else {
x = newx;
y = newy;
}
} else {
this.runcounter = int(random(10,40));
dir = (dir+1+int(random(0,2))*2)%4;
}
} else if (this.walkmode==2) { // LEFTRIGHT
if (dir!=1 && dir!=3) dir = 3;
else {
x = newx;
y = newy;
if ((dir==1 && x<=this.x1) || (dir==3 && x>=this.x2))
dir = (dir+2)%4;
}
} else if (this.walkmode==3) { // UPDOWN
if (dir!=0 && dir!=2) dir = 2;
else {
x = newx;
y = newy;
if ((dir==0 && y<=this.y1) || (dir==2 && y>=this.y2))
dir = (dir+2)%4;
}
} else if (this.walkmode==4) { // RECTANGLE
x = newx;
y = newy;
if ((dir==0 && y<=this.y1) || (dir==1 && x<=this.x1) ||
(dir==2 && y>=this.y2) || (dir==3 && x>=this.x2))
dir = (dir+3)%4;
}
if (this.walkmode>1 && this.runcounter<=0)
this.runcounter = 20;

im trying to learn with getting examples, caus i cant understand much of the newbie scripters bible

[la_builder]

i gave the lights a walking script and it works fine thank u all for your good advise

[TDK_RC6]

use the predefined npc lights, then change the red, blue, and green values to something between 0 and 255

[Saga2001]

Are you talking about this:

NPC Code:

---

for(i = 0; i<25; i++ {

 this.mv+=.25;

 this.x = 32+cos(this.mv)*5;

 this.y = 32+sin(this.mv)*5;

 showimg i,door.png,this.x,this.y;

}

---

?
cos and sin are reverse of eachother, so that means when cos is going up sin is going down on the same number.

[la_builder]

it doesnt really moves how can i make it move

Incorrect. They are not inversions, one is merely shifted along from the other. And screen_name, it's 0-1 rather than 0-255.

whoops i just assumed 255, o well, thanks for correcting

[la_builder]

thats verry bad of i wouldnt ask if i knew caus i dont understand the hole thing only that apperently you get a circle if ya use sin and cos tell me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
