RETURN of the Useless Grid Thingy

[DarkDragoon_Lloyd]

OKOK, so I am still new to scripting, but I made a new useless grid thingy.
Please give me suggestions on how I can improve my scripting skills...

Things to try:
-Stand in the corners of the level.
-Walk from one corner to another.
-Walk along the sides.

I think the effect it produces is cool...
I cant fix how its kinda off a bit in some places(where the lines don't quite make it to the corners). Its because Graal reads the players x and y as the very top corner of the player...

o¯O
Dunt know LOOPS...

Looky, from 71 lines to 13. Loops and mathematics are amazing aren't they?

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created || timeout) {

  timeout = .05;

  for (a=0;a<22;a++) {

    i = (a+int(a/21))*3;

    showpoly a,{playerx,i,i,playery+3};

    showpoly a+22,{i,playerx,playery+3,i};

    changeimgcolors a,random(0,1),random(0,1),random(0,1),1;

    changeimgcolors a+22,random(0,1),random(0,1),random(0,1),1;

    changeimgvis a,0;

    changeimgvis a+22,0;

  }

}

Southeast corner looks like something i did for math at school.

....Uhh....? All I see is a grid, that moves with the player.

Yes, well... As you can see, I am not very good at scripting...

In fact, that is one of the main reasons why I posted this... I need to learn more and get better...

The best thing you could do is to examine screen_name's adaptation. Loops are indispensable for this kind of program.

I just looked over the script and I feel bashful... I made a mistake. The below includes the correction

NPC Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created || timeout) {

  timeout = .05;

  for (a=0;a<22;a++) {

    i = (a*3)+int(a/21);

    showpoly a,{playerx,i,i,playery+3};

    showpoly a+22,{i,playerx,playery+3,i};

    changeimgcolors a,random(0,1),random(0,1),random(0,1),1;

    changeimgcolors a+22,random(0,1),random(0,1),random(0,1),1;

    changeimgvis a,0;

    changeimgvis a+22,0;

  }

}
