You need to be able to select Class and Kingdom and stuff? that's all?

NPC Code:

---

 if (playertouchsme){

   setstring class,classname;

}

---

Depends on how you wanna do it. There are a few ways but A string is as easy as any.





Although im prabably totally wrong as to what your trying to do.... :(

no go play valkorlia and you know at the begining? i want it like that where it has the menu and everything. im pretty sure i can do the jobs part but if you have any info or tips they would be greatful and thanks fo trying to help

vals been around alot longer than providence...remember when it was just Kharlia and you had to get to it thru his house?

Val isn't the same now, it is run by different people a different way =\

virtue the manager took a lot of stuff from providence when he left providence (he was admin)

If you are looking for a menu type thing, I might be able to start you off:
First: When the player does something, set off a timeout with "timeout = .05;"
Next you want to check for keydowns and such, ex: up = 0, left = 1, down = 2, right = 3. Sideways, Up/down...anything that bursts your bubble.

NPC Code:

---

if (timeout) {

  if (keydown(0)) {

    this.choose--;  // Menu Chooser Up

  }

  if (keydown(2)) {

    this.choose++; // Menu Chooser Down

  }

  timeout = .05; // Continue the loop.

}

---

Then you want to display stuff, which would be showimg (check commands.rtf for syntax.
Then after that, the selector...check commands.rtf under keydown() for the numbers for other keys besudes up/down/left/right.
I probably said a little too much for my liking... :-/

Very good gohan, you were the only one who actually put forth a little effort into helping

I'm closing this, you have all that you need to know here, continue working on your script though, just use a timeout loop and some keydowns for cursor movement, then another one for selection, good luck :), if you run into trouble, there's probably another menu help thread in the past posts here
