-long code here-
Anyone else notice that one of his indexes (8675309) is a song? A bad one if I may add...

That's not quite a complete optimization, I must say. Not to mention I do believe your taste in music is a whee bit poor

on-topic, I was messing with this script this morning and duplicated your problem easily, but when I got back just now I wasn't getting any blinking... I'd just suggest making your code a bit more eloquent. I.E.

• use showtext index,x,y,font,style,text; instead of showimg index,@font@style@text,x,y;
• Add static text to the menu image instead of wasting cpu by using showtext.
• Don't draw static images or borders with showpoly. Put it on the menu image.
• Put all initiating code in a created block (triggeraction, showstats, local variable definitions) and the rest in a timeout (no freaking while+sleep loops!).

I don't remember contributing any advice to this thread, I only expressed my opinion on your comments.

I apologise. The original post had been deleted and I couldn't remember the name of the person who posted it. Since you were objecting, I assumed you were he.

Still, I cannot see how you could complain about my advice. Xecutor/DIABLO2099 was doing the thread a great disservice by forcing his ignorance upon it.

The song gets very annoying

He needs to learn on his own so I didn't try to make it completely optimized.

I'm not sure, but isn't there a way draw a GUI on a certain screen level so that it doesn't actually timeout, etc. (Although I suppose you would need them to draw the health bars, etc.)

*shrug* Maybe it was already mentioned.

Oh. Didn't see his post.

I think you can just do showimg/showtext with layer 4+ and it stays shown on the screen.

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  showtext 200,screenwidth-2,screenheight-16,r,verdana,hello;

  changeimgvis 200,4;

  changeimgzoom 200,.7;

}

---

I believe thats what I did.

Put all initiating code in a created block (triggeraction, showstats, local variable definitions) and the rest in a timeout (no freaking while+sleep loops!).

All good suggestions but not verywell needed ones.

Maybe this will end the thread
-code-

Didn't help and you left some stuff out. I'd fill it in but i would rather just use my old one. No point in using a slightly better broken object :/

[Admins]

Just try to remove all showimgs except one, so that the code gets very small and easy to analyze

Advice 2: Strip your code to the bare essentials before posting it. Nobody wants to scan through pages of unrelated lines.
Advice 3: Don't just set the alpha to 0 in order to hide something.

Advice 4: Put some effort into understanding what you are doing, instead of asking for help and then closing your eyes until your script works.


Once you have succeeded, contact a mod to have this reopened, if neccessary.
