put the values of the tiles you want to be walkable in an array
use board or tiles[] with vexy and vecy to get the tiles in front of the player... and check with in if these tiles are in the array... if they are move the player on it...

XeroMaster · #3 02-24-2002, 05:42 AM

what?

i dont under stand vecy/vexy things
could you explain?

TDO2000 · #4 02-24-2002, 05:50 AM

um...

it gives u the value you have to add or substract to do movement to one of the 4 specified dirs:

dir 0 (up)
vecx(0) = 0
vecy(0) = -1

dir 1 (left)
vecx(1) =-1
vecy(1) = 0

dir 2 (down)
vecx(2)=0
vecy(2)=1

dir 3 (right)
vecx(3)=1
vecy(3)=0

so that means if u use playerdir instead of the numbers
x=playerx+vecx(playerdir);
y=playery+vecy(playerdir);

will always give u the tile 1 field in front of the player

to get it exactly in the middle front of the player u have to add 1.5 to x and 2 to y:

x=playerx+1.5+vecx(playerdir);
y=playery+2+vecy(playerdir);

I just dont know lot about tiles

all i know how to do with them is change them with
addtiledef2 img.pmg,level.nw,0,0;

Python523 · #6 02-24-2002, 06:22 AM

Kai is right, don't even try this if you don't know a lot about scripting

XeroMaster · #7 02-24-2002, 06:26 AM

XeroMaster · #10 02-24-2002, 08:54 AM

a good scripter.....
I just dont get the tile things!!!
Some one say this is a place to teach people things..

so could some explain how?
some one tryed but all he talked about was vexy and vexy's

I dont understand these things!!!
But I am NOT a BAD scripter!

I have mostly learned scripting from scripts.
I download all types of scripts and learn from them..
just to let you know

I find this to be quite, well, wrong. Well in my case at least. I learned how to script better by setting my standard way higher then what I was capable of doing. Of course, I never posted asking for help/the script.

XeroMaster · #14 02-24-2002, 10:10 PM

is the ONLY thing i dont know

i know everything else

Lomgren · #15 02-24-2002, 11:48 PM

In your walking script (yes you must make your own), istead of using onwall(x,y) use a for loop to go through all the different tiles in the array, just set flag or something if the current tile is equal to one in the array, and use that to show for onwall.

Argh U DON'T need a for loop
there is a small word called IN

example:

NPC Code:



if (created || playerenters) {

  this.testarray={1,2,3,4,5};

  this.number=int(random(0,10));

  if (this.number in this.testarray) message OMG YEEEEESSSS!!!;

}

I used to think explosion NPCs owned! ;D Of course my first NPC was of explosion that go in somewhat of an order like this:
\/
playerhere
/\
But, it went a little outside of the player. ;D I was quite proud of it for sometime.

i never liked em cause when i started playing graal all they helped me do was lag ...

Well, not that high, lol. Say you're only capable of making an NPC weapon that layed a bomb, set your goal to make it lay all around the player in a circling motion. Stuff like that. Not just opening the Graal editor for the first time and say, "o liek ima script an npc dat makes it so u can climb on certain walls only", lol.

the combonation of my 56k modem, 63.9 MB of RAM, and 700mhZ proccessor surely are the reason .. bubt when i play in full screen mode these slownesses disapear ...
but its a pain going back and forth using alt-tab to answers RC PM's/AIM messages and stuff like that

1) Josey, please don't double-post

2) Yes, you should make things that you stand a chance of figuring out. But if you look back you'll find that my statement was: "If you're new to scripting then you probably shouldn't try this". He doesn't stand a chance of making it on his own so he shouldn't try it. He's not gonna gain or learn anything from the attempt, he should go work on something around his own league.

3) Going to full-screen helps because of how Windows does GFX. It's not unexpected, really. If a game is dealing with the whole screen then it doesn't have to draw its own stuff or interpret mouse clicks etc.

Exclusive mode. When graal initiates it, and the new resolution and such, it gets kind of unstable.

Admins · #24 02-25-2002, 09:47 PM

Kaimetsu I think he just asked if there
is some easy way to do it, like you can
call replaceani to change the default animations.

I guess the 'easiest' way to do things like that
is to take an npc which has the same gfx like the
wall, and make it dontblock & drawunderplayer.

Another way would be to use addtiledef2 to add
new tiles (which look like the wall tiles) ontop of
some non-blocking tiles in pics1.png and then use
those tiles instead of the normal wall tiles. It will
look like normal wall but will be non-blocking.

If you want to make the wall tiles non-blocking for
all levels you have without editing them, then you
need to script your own player movement or ask
someone else for it. Some months ago I have posted
one on the 'new races' forum.

Yeah, I know, but since there isn't an easy way I thought I should tell him so he doesn't waste his time with it. I assumed that he'd be talking about something that works on any level without editing it beforehand so he'd need to use a rescripted player movement system, which even some of the best scripters have problems with.

I dont mean to be ofensive dude but

Inst the idea of the forum to help him, not give him anything of ourse but to help him? what you are saying is if you dont know how to do it then go away, that isn't the idea of the forum
