weapon list..

[LiquidIce00]

I was b0red.. nothing much . u can learn off of it .. (i still rather use the one that comes with Graal)
I would make it go around like instead of just showing 1 it shows a circle of them. . but its not like im going to use this ^_^

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by LiquidIce - PM MY RC plz

timeout=.05;

if (playerenters&&!isweapon) {

  toweapons -Backpack;

}

if (isweapon) { disableselectweapons; }

if (timeout&&isweapon) {

  this.timer=(this.timer+1)%3;

  if (keydown(9)&&this.timer=2) {

    if (this.inmenu=1) {

      hideimg();

      this.inmenu=0;

    }

    else { this.inmenu=1; }

  }

  if (this.inmenu=1) { disabledefmovement;

    if (this.timer=2) {

      checkkey();

    }

    draw();

  }

}



function draw() {

  //gain weapons count w/o hidden weapons

  this.count=0;

  for (this.i=0;this.i<weaponscount;this.i++) {

    if (!startswith(-,#w(this.i))) { this.count++; }

  }

  //player has no weapons. shut down

  if (this.count=0) { setplayerprop #c,You have no weapons; this.inmenu=0;hideimg(); return;}

  //check if the current weapon is the first non hidden

  this.notfirst=0;

  for (this.i=0;this.i<selectedweapon;this.i++) {

    if (!startswith(-,#w(this.i))) { this.notfirst=1 }

  }

  if (selectedweapon>0&&this.notfirst=1) { showimg 100,@<,screenwidth/2-20,screenheight/2;  }

  else { hideimg 100; }

  showimg 101,#W,screenwidth/2,screenheight/2;

  showimg 102,@#w,screenwidth/2-strtofloat(#v(strlen(#w)))*2,screenheight/2-30;



  if (selectedweapon<this.count) {

    showimg 103,@>,screenwidth/2+40,screenheight/2;

  }

  else { hideimg 103; }

  for (this.i=0;this.i<4;this.i++) { changeimgvis this.i+100,4; }

}



function hideimg() {

  for (this.i=0;this.i<4;this.i++) { hideimg this.i+100; }

  enabledefmovement;

}



if (playerhurt&&this.inmenu=1) {

  this.inmenu=0;

  hideimg();

}

function checkkey() {

  if (keydown(1)) {

    //find index of before non hidden weapon

    for (this.i=selectedweapon-1;this.i>-1;this.i--) {

      if (!startswith(-,#w(this.i))) { selectedweapon=this.i; return;}

    }

    play nextpage.wav;

  }

  if (keydown(3)) { selectedweapon+=1; play nextpage.wav; }

}

Dude that is awesome! Could you help me learn that type of stuff like:
for (this.i=0;this.i<weaponscount;this.i++) {
please?

that just browses thru all the persons weapons..
since even hidden weapons that start with - are considered weapons,when you make your own weapon list you want to keep those away.

If you do selectedweapon+=1; (to go to the next weapon) it will work fine. but if you subtract one it wont. why? because of the hidden npc's.. If a hidden npc is before the one it will just add 1 to it until it finds a non hidden one..
So i use

NPC Code:

---

 //find index of before non hidden weapon

    for (this.i=selectedweapon-1;this.i>-1;this.i--) {

      if (!startswith(-,#w(this.i))) { selectedweapon=this.i; return;}

    }

which will go from your current weapon down to 0 (the first weapon) and find the closest one to it which is not a hidden weapon.
For example lets say you have
bow, bomb, -system, fireblast
When It is on fireblast and I want to go back, I dont want the -system to become the weapon, because if I set it to -system, Graal will say "thats a hidden weapon" and will go back to the fireblast. Now using the loop It will go from -system to bow looking for the first one that is not hidden, which in the case would be bomb^_^
(confusing i hope it helps hehe)

Yea I guess it helps a bit. is this.i a built in graal var or is it just the one people most commonly use?

most common..
i, z, a, b ,x , y
those are like the most common I believe

[TDK_Admin1]

Hmm...very interesting.

this.i is a this. variable, which means it's basically a variable that only the NPC its located in can use. This. variables can be named anything you want... ex: this.thisisathisvariablelookitisntitlikethecoolest thing... just a really stupid example though :-P

Most people use this.i... probably because i stands for index in most peoples minds... *shrug*.

Nice scripting, but you could at least be more original on how the weapons scroll and appear on the screen

I kno I was just learning
It would be neat if it was like listed alphabetically or something like that .. or listed FF7 style (like a screen then opens up a screen in a screen..and so on) .. or have like the Hat item where its a circle of the weapons (would be trouble with too many weapons though)

Alphabetical:
... for loop... strequals...

FF7 style:
... showimg... for loops... and hidden weapons to determine what goes where...

Circle:
... limit the amount of weapons shown at one time... showimg... yet again, for loop...

uhhhh..
alphabetically u would have to create an array with all the letters in order..
and FF7 style is just like a menu then it would be grouped..

for circle u would just use cosine/sine (or that new getangle thing) and add radius depending on weaponscount

[Falcor]

Simple but neat. Useless though, unless it servers somesort of purpose like showing other things besides wepons. ect ect.

[Slaktmaster]

Cool, I wish my computer worked so I could finish my weapon list script

Its going to be "special", mainly because I'm not a good scripter.

your so dumb ... it works for people who actually somewhat know what it does ....

[LiquidIce00]

yes it works
it could be useful if you were developing your own type of weapon system .. like Boco was ..
also if you wanted to make a FF style battlesystem you could use this to change weapons or something .. or just use the disableselectweapons command to just disable the weapon list
