But he's always right.

Maybe, but he's not always sure if he is.

Anyways, for Switch:

PHP Code:


			
function onCreated() 

{

  player.chat = "Stuff.";

}

function onCreated() // This is a function. Before GS2, things like this were called in events. Basically, if it happened, execute any code in the parenthesis. In GS1, it would be if (created) {}, but all that changed in GS2. Events were translated into their own functions. So basically this means, when the NPC is created, execute everything in the parenthesis.

{...} // As explained above, parenthesis are closed around any amount of commands executed when an event is called. All commands must be executed with an event/function and closed inside parenthesis.

player.chat = "Stuff."; // player.* is associated with anything for the player. This can be player.hearts, for their hearts, player.ap, for their ap, player.x, for their x coordinate, and so on. So, taking that, and taking the knowledge that = is assign, means that you are assigning something to the player's chat, which means you'll force them to say something. "Stuff." is a string. A string is alphanumerical. That means anything not a variable, floating value, integer, has to be enclosed in quotes, or else it won't be assigned. If you want to get basic, text has to be in quotes. And lastly, the semi-colon has to be after every command. Anytime you do 'something' end it with a semi-colon before you move onto the next thing.

The world would be a better place if there were more people like you.

Kind of like you when you started, eh?

Maybe you shouldnt be so quick to talk down to people when you "came up" the same way they are trying.

Well put

ok well lets say im going to script simple gun what would i use?

DustyPorViva · #38 05-16-2007, 03:54 AM

shoot(), would be the simplest of ways, and can be done with one command and a couple of ganis. Sorry I can't provide the details, I don't remember. I'll look it up after House is done.

EDIT:

PHP Code:


			
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onWeaponfired() {
  shoot(x,y,z,angle,zangle,power,"gani",param1,param2,...[these params are sent to the GANI, not passed in the shoot command]);
}

//#CLIENTSIDE // Everything following this is dealt on the clientside of things. shoot() is clientside.
function onWeaponfired() {..} // Everything inside this function is called when the weapon is fired.
shoot(stuff)... // Shoots a projectile that is visible as whatever gani is defined. As for the specs, straight from newfeatures, as no need to repeat them in different words:
x,y and z - specify the starting position
angle - shoot angle (when looking from the top): east is 0, north 3.14/2, west is 3.14, south 3.14*3/2)
zangle - the angle in vertical direction, 0 means the projectile is shoot horizontal, 3.14/2 means straight to the sun
power - the shoot power which is used to shoot the projectile; if it's 0 then the projectile is shoot like an old arrow (doesn't fall down, moves 20 tiles each second)
gani - the animation that is used for the projectile; the animation can be multidirectional, the engine automatically selects the best direction for the flying direction; the animation can have 1 step (not animated) or 7 steps, then the engine is automatically choosing the good animation step for the projectile flying angle - when its raising then step 1 is taken, when flying horizontal it is step 4, when it is short before the impact then the engine displays step 7

If anything confuses you, I'll try to answer. There's a lot more to it than this, but I figured you should start off with just getting a bullet going.

not that simple lol you would use keydown gani scripts. Is that it?

I never claimed I was good scripter. >_> Nor a scripter when I couldn't script anything. IF anything I was eager to learn, lazy to do anything.

What do you mean?

killerogue · #42 05-16-2007, 04:40 AM

I think he means something along the lines of pressing a key and it playing a gani, i.e.:

PHP Code:


			
function onKeyPressed( keynr, keyname )
{
  if (keyname == "s")
  {
    setani("fireani", "");
  }
}

E: My final suggestion, if you have a friend who's a good scripter...ask him to tutor you. It's easier to learn from someone rather than something ( I.E. the wiki ). The wiki's just there for informational purposes really, otherwises it's just..blegh.

I was hoping you would pay more attention to the talking down to people part, or does this not seem familer?

All im saying is, when you yourself were having trouble, you looked for help and expected it/would hide behind the whole "im new" thing. When people would flame you for how bad you were, did you not get upset? So why would you in turn do that exact same thing to a new scripter? Give them a chance to learn, its not fluid for some people, and eventually they may realise its not for them.

Encourage not Discourage

I don't think that was the context of his post. I assume it had something to do with what I posted, but I have no idea.

I've also noticed this attitude of his, I never said anything though. I kept it to myself.
