NPC Showoff Thread.

Mykel · #1 03-07-2004, 07:41 AM

I had a decently lengthy conversation with Kai, and he said he would prefer a post where scripters could show off their works.

This would be used so as to avoid as much as possible the simple voting for friends.

So, get to creating!

[edit]Would be nice for this to be stickied[/edit]

Behold, the never-before-seen Sphere V1.01!

See if you can guess which parts got rescripted

Verdict :
Nice script, very unique...
I can't vote untill I see others.

Arrr....no point for others to compete with that

It's very nice!

I was watching the BBC Learning last night at around 2am, saw a maths thing on spirals, looked nice, might do something 3dness like they did.

[edit] Kai, you rescripted the lightsource [/edit]

Polo · #6 03-07-2004, 05:48 PM

I saw the first version of this, and I cant help but feel that its just a rehash of a maths example i once saw. Whilst it no doubt looks impressive, it isn't actually useful :P

Im not bashing the script or scripter, Kai's evidently got some good math skills... Its just this whole script feels 'old' to me now. I'd rather see somthing totally new.

On a side note, Kai has done something in the script which I absolutely detest, putting multiple commands on one line, yuck

. I'm guessing I can attribute that down to clustering.

Galdor · #7 03-07-2004, 09:18 PM

cool =O
3d stuffs in graal =D

Define 'useful'. If you mean that it wouldn't much improve a playerworld then yes, I'd agree. But I don't work for a playerworld, so I see no obligation to make my scripts useful to them :-p

Dude, I'm a lazy guy

Maybe when G3D is released.

What's wrong with that? It's a perfectly valid practice. Saves space and doesn't obfuscate the purpose of the code.

Indeed! But I doubt that anybody will notice the difference.

Polo · #9 03-07-2004, 10:03 PM

I wasn't dissing you Kai, I just felt I had to make my opinion. the multiple commands on one line i stated was somthing that 'personally' annoyed me, I wasn't necessarily saying it was wrong. The old script point I think you can see my validity, and the 'usefulness', yes I was refering to the fact that you cant really use it in any kind of situation, such as happens on Playerworlds.

I dont want to seem like im dissing you or the script, because I'm not. Its a complex script which [seems to me] to be well implemented, and I guess in the long run, that is all that matters.

Is there any particularly reason for that? I ask out of curiosity, because it seems like a pretty logical practice to me.

Because I program in a few languages and when i debug it usually it says things like 'Error online 54: Invalid Somthing or other.' When you have multiple things on one line it then makes it a little bit less nice to debug.

Well, I only combine lines if they're essentially the same, so an error in one would be an error in both. It's usually not necessary to split them up in that case.

Besides, I normally only do it for really simple stuff, like:

this.x=10; this.y=20;

I don't consider those separate operations - they're two parts of the same basic task.

Mykel · #14 03-07-2004, 11:10 PM

Lol, I think Kai scared other entries away with his l33t sphere.

i dunno
if you like typoed
this.x=10; thiss.y=20;
it might be pretty hard to find the error since theres 2 things going on!

Well, if I knew that the error was on that line then it wouldn't be too difficult to find.

Kinda stupid to based a contest off of this thread, what if someone doesn't want to make their script public?

Erm. The whole contest isn't based off of this. You can still vote for people who don't post here....

Galdor · #20 03-08-2004, 12:07 AM

i'll vote on
kat, master storm or evil =P
i think. they are great =D

Woo, a vote for me! heh...

Kai: I dunno, when in other languages your not always doing simple lines, and I guess I've just built up a habit of never putting 2 commands on one line. because of this. Its just the way I am I guess.

DarkShadows_Legend · #23 03-08-2004, 01:26 AM

This one runs smoother than the other one I have. Very impressive script too.

Dach · #24 03-08-2004, 03:11 AM

I'd post the pathfinder I made (back in the NW days, before pathfinding was trendy), but I don't think it works in the normal Graal client

I'll check that out later on other comp..

Polo show us some of your shizzle

I'll edit post when I see it kai.
Edit:
It's a gani, anyone can do lights with ganis.. :O
Anyways it's nice.. but this is scripts.. enter that for the gani thing..

Polo · #29 03-08-2004, 10:59 AM

Its all on the other machine (Same as with the gani's), so i'd have to make somthing from scratch.

It's a gani SCRIPT.

Open the gani file in notepad..
I like it kai.

Kaimetsu · #31 03-08-2004, 04:36 PM

Yeah, a script is a script, regardless of what type of file it inhabits.

I originally submitted it for use on GK, but I guess they never found a use for it. I still think it's snazzy.

WanDaMan · #32 03-08-2004, 04:54 PM

Ah aight, didn't know that

Loriel · #33 03-08-2004, 05:23 PM

It has no fancy sparks and light effects, and it is not finished, and probably will not be useful to anybody without some adjustment, but I still like it.

Dach · #35 03-09-2004, 07:52 PM

I'll just post this movement script, since I haven't seen or heard of anyone actually using something different from the built in one. I need to finish my Mario project anyway...

Galdor · #36 03-09-2004, 08:05 PM

OMG! that one was cool =O

Galdor · #37 03-09-2004, 08:13 PM

make so the char will follow the mouse arrow when its hold down. that would be cool =O

Loriel · #38 03-09-2004, 08:59 PM

Right mouse button on my one.

WanDaMan · #39 03-09-2004, 09:27 PM

Yeah? I'd post my grid-based system, but it doesn't have any shiny light effects >.<
