How do I make items that heal health?

[jas988]

I need an item NPC that becomes an item, and when you use it, it heals 3 hearts then is destroyed, and you can only have one at a time.

[Kaimetsu]

Read the rules.

[Crono]

Why is the topic asking for this and then the post itself demanding for this?

Read Kai's post.

If people are spoon-fed this kind of thing, they never bother to learn. I think it is better in the long-term if they are encouraged to think for themselves.

Then offer some advice or direction or something, instead of just saying "read the rules"
I am sure there are tutorials or something that he could be directed to.
I dont see why simple scripts cannot be given

Yeah, they are contained in the 'Advice' thread, right at the top of the forum. I do not think they are difficult to find.

Well, it is not up to me. I am not a moderator, after all. I am just informing the thread's creator that he is in violation of the rules.

However, I do agree with the rule. Giving scripts - simple or otherwise - encourages people to get lazy and stop thinking for themselves. More likely than not, they will simply copy the script into their levels without stopping to understand why it works. This is a Bad Attitude. Forcing people to solve problems by themselves leads to them learning, and being able to fend for themselves in the future. Even if it seems harsh, it is for the best in the long-term.

In any case, he didn't even give us enough information to definitively answer his question. He was ambiguous. Items on GK are different to items on 2K1 are different to items on Classic, etc. And does the relevant environment have a custom HP system? At the very least, he should learn to ask questions in a concise, unequivocal manner.

"Read the rules" is not advice or direction?

I should direct you to several posts where you have closed them with "Read the rules."

How did you ever become moderator? Stephane needs to remove you for being a hopeless hypocrite. Your moderation style is a lot worse and more rude than Kaimetsu's (completely justified and appropriate) post, and combined with this post of yours shows that you really lack any respect you should have for Graalians.

I am sure there are tutorials or something that he could be directed to.

You have never bothered learning scripting. You have never bothered understanding how scripting works, how to learn it and people's mentality about it. You know nothing about it.
Then you come into this forum and make it sound as if it all was about tutorials, downplaying all the effort people have put into scripting over the years.
Why do you not make an announcement, link to the tutorials you are speaking of, and close this forum once and for all to prevent people from trying to sensibly discuss scripting?

I dont see why simple scripts cannot be given

After all the times it has been explained in this forum? Why do you not read the things people write here? I do not think that this forum is the right place for your self-righteous manner.

I would say it is because this person is asking for a script fitting his description rather than asking how to script something fitting his description. We do the latter, not the former.

Perhaps you should read the topic of this thread?

Now what?

Perhaps you should examine the wording of his post.

I don't recall there being a question. This is more of one of those "give me give me give me" type of threads. It would be much too simple to just give away such things, and in which case he would learn nothing, which deduces us to nothing more than his scripting *****s =/ Plus if he wants it, and he isn't willing to learn, he should hire a NAT x.x

[Evil_Trunks]

you want to have an NPC with the event "playertouchsme"

then you probably want to add a healing weapon to the player using the "addweapon" command

this will be really hard to do if you can't understand basic scripting yet, I didn't learn from any documents besides commands.rtf so I can't say what things would be helpful to read

This IS basic scripting.

as an addition to Evil_Trunks' post, look up the 'playerhearts' variable, and remember to check if the player's AP is above 40, before healing them. (I can't remember if the check is already done for you if the heart manipulation is done clientside or not)

There are ways to get them started in the right direction, instead of just blurting out the script. The subject of his post was 'How do i..' NOT 'Script X for me'. It is not against the rules.
