i need 2 know how 2 script a dance floor

[crazy_dude92]

Is it easy to script a dance floor, or a trampoline?
It would be nice if someone could explain me how to script such, or perhaps a gun, or a train, lol.

That is not the way to learn scripting.
Have a look at the available commands, and read through existing scripts, in order to understand how you can achieve things and how to interact with the game engine.
Asking questions like these does not really help.

[R0bin]

I believe there is a rule that states "Do not ask for scripts"

I think you should read them

[Loriel]

I think the original poster is just trying to learn.

This will help you out on your scripting...helped me out alot.

He just wants the script, he isn't going to learn any of it
Good of you to attach it though :-)

[SlikRick]

Well its better to learn so you know what to do and how to use what properly so the next time they script they wont have to ask for that much help. It really goes into depth about each command and how to use em =X

Just change player's directions and movements randomly in a determined place. It's not that hard.

Dance -
Use :-
If
playerx in ||
playery in ||
setplayer ani

Gun :-
If
setplayer ani
Shoot
actionprojectile (serverside)

Train :-
If
setplayerani
playerx
playery
for

It's setani not setplayerani. Also, actionprojectile events work not only server-side but client-side too.
Don't you think that he'll need to use 'if' since he will have to call an event on his script? (lol?)

Got bored so...
Dance:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters) timeout=.05;

if (timeout) {

  if ((playerx in |0,32|) && (playery in |0,64|)) { //play with the numbers i made it work for the left half of the level 

    playersprite=int(random(0,41));

  }

  timeout=.5;

}

playersprite is kinda "deprecated" since when Graal2001 was released. Ganis are probably the best solution. I would probably create a string with the ganis and use random(#) for the randomly movements.

This thread makes me remenisc the past...
I loved that script what Cynadine made

I'll always use sprites before I make a gani, less work + less files = happier me

Why not go through with him the structure of the actual script (what needs to be what, how and where and why) without actually telling him the actual script? It's a good way of teaching him to learn, because he still has to actually script it out all by himself.

I guess, but what is the point when he hasn't replied?

I did leave comments...most of it is pretty much self-explanatory

Wich one is easier and wich one is most efficient?
Think about it.

I learned most of what i know about scripting by taking apart other scripts to see how they work. So don't go on saying that stuff because you're not always right :O

Think about it.

Note: ganis are not neccesarily more efficient than sprite manipulation (even though it is now just setting the gani step of def.gani)

Let this thread die.
It has went offtopic since the original poster does not seem to care anymore. You are free to restart your discussion in another thread if you really want.
