Remember, I'm a stupid newbie, so that would mean... what?

[Legondary_MyTH]

+moves it to the right
- moves to the left
.5 is half of 1 get it?????

[AlexH]

if (playerenters) {
x=x+.5;
y=y+.5;
}

Can use - too.
Basically it moves the image half a tile depending on what you put there.

[user13-xo]

if (created) {
x-=.5;
x+=.5;
y-=.5;
y+=.5;
}

that's a great script if you want to put it right back in its original position!

[MaverickZero]

or (im making this up)
if (created) { x=30.5; y=29.5
}

that would move it to the x/y spefified
(i cant spel)

Oh I'm sorry I'm not a l33t scripter like you please give me your master advice Mister Kaimetsu.

Anyway, thanks all.

on a free server wouldn't that move the npc over .5 every time you entered the room?

[screen_name]

You don't have to be l33t to move an npc a half a tile.

You don't? Why didn't any of you tell me!

Okay:

You're not intelligent enough to script to any degree of competence. Give up now.

*Insert rude picture here*

Anyway, another stupid question from a stupid person. I want to make it so that when sombody says somthing, the NPC gets destroyed. What should I do?

[Dean]

if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,Word)){destroy;}

[Dean]

I don't believe so, but maybe

[Torankusu]

you don't need quotes.

and, to prevent it from moving over .5 every time someone enters the room, you could just set the x/y to a coordinate.

if (playerenters){
x = 32.5;
y = 32.5;
}
etc.

Thanks, but what if it is many words? Use quotes?

no, you dont use quotes

just

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats && strequals(#c,bla bla bla bla bla bla times 3)) {

  destroy;

}

---

too bad that messes up on a terrain (I think) since it's all like one big level, it'll send up in the upper left level, but I don't think most people have to worry about that

People, people! Giving out scripts only keeps them coming back!

Respect points = -100. I can figure it out. I just need a poke in the right direction sometimes.

Anyway, I'm done. *INSERT 100 RUDE PICTURES AIMED AT KAIMETSU HERE*

fight the kai !!!!!

[stomper_TK]

I want to learn how to script..

[nyghtGT]

To some degree Kaimetsu is right and to another that brock guy is. Some people are just better at learning from examples instead of being told to use: strequals playerchats #c destroy.

I think it's because some people don't bother to learn the basic syntax of GScript. Anyway, you saw above how it works, and you should jump for joy.

One thing though argueing with Kaimetsu is pointless, he just use his college mumbo jumbo talk and make you wet yourself

If you are wonderhing what a command does...

TRY IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

Lol yes argueing with Kaimetsu is pointless. But I doubt it has that much to do with college mumbo jumbo.

On second thought it can be a lot of fun. ;-)

[brock128]

I realize that I must look like an idiot asking for help. But that's what this fourm is about. Kai doesn't have to be such a goober about it. Anyway, I am trying to learn how to script, but I really... eh... yea...
