Desperately needed script!
 

Ok, I've been on the phone for about an hour and a half trying to figure out how to make a certain script. What we need is a script that, when the player x (or y) is increased or decreased, the NPC's x (or y) is increased or decreased. If anyone is interested, I'll post out current script to see if anyone can fix it.

Forgot to mention a couple of things:
1. I was on the phone with a friend trying to make the script he was helping me)
2. What we have so far is an NPC that takes a step, but keeps going and we can't get it to stop due to timeout.

erm, if keydown()?

easy.

do you want the npc where the player is or...?

ack
not again
n00bs asking for scripts
heres what to do

a) learn to script
b) start with very simple scripts
c) move on to more complicated scripts
d) only ask for help when ppl recognise you as a good scripter

*cracks nuckles*. Alright. I believe this forum is to ask questions. NOT TO BE DISSED BY STUPID N00BS!! You need help with certain things, I need help with certain things. If you think I'm such a n00b, why don't YOU try to script the NPC I'm talking about??

i am in the middle of c.. well.. im more like at the start of like 25% through c =\

You're a newbie.

timeout=.05;

if (timeout)
{
if (y > playery)
y-=.3;
if (y < playery)
y+=.3;
if (x > playerx)
x-=.3;
if (x < playerx)
x+=.3;
}


There it follows the player, just paste that in an npc.

or you can make it uglier by doing:

x=playerx;
y=playery;

Just experiment..

Or if you want the NPC to move on player position dependance and some other things:

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  this.x=x;

  this.y=y;

  this.enterx=32;

  this.entery=32;

}

if (playerenters||timeout) {

  if (isleader) {

    this.xdif=(playerx-this.enterx)+playerx;

    this.ydif=(playery-this.entery)+playery;

  }

  x=this.x+this.xdif;

  y=this.y+this.ydif;

  timeout=0.05;

  timereverywhere;

}

---

And I probably made some really stupid mistakes in the above script.

hmm, it seems you know your stuff lady midnight.
im impressed with your scripting skills :D

So am I. You really taught me how to do the setcoloreffect stuff. :D :D Thanks

lol
 

that is so easey!!!!!!

Gee, thanks to no one, I got it done myself using keydown. Some help! That's about three times now I think...
