}

it works fine accept...the fish sometimes swims onto land and for some reason it doesnt display fish sprites =( it should the fish swimming around really fast but it wont show the sprites of the tail moving

same for your PW =/
We all got inmature asses for staff but I gotta deal with it because everyone willing to be GP or FAQ (97% of population) are *****s

:megaeek: *laughs hysterically* You had a script from kyle0654 and you out of the blue decided to start over. !@# you freak.

Kyle! don't bother helping anybody! they are ungrateful and Your better off working on NW scripts!.

Kyle's shortened version was nice and compact but won't work when turning that script into a baddy or whatever it will be because it has sleep in the for loop. :(

Most player worlds do have immature staff (maybe even all). The owner's of the player world's should not only chose their staff because of their ability but, also their characteristics. Not just go on player worlds and mass out "I'm making a player world and if you're a good scripter or level designer/maker pm me to try out." That's just my opinion though...

At least try to learn something from the techneques that you can plainly see in most good scripts.

how do you make NPCs work with multiple players in a level?

players[index].variable

for some of my baddies, I do a for-loop to find the closest player, and set him to "this.chase"...then I have the baddie chase after players[this.chase].x and players[this.chase].y

for this, instead of !onwall(x,y), why not use onwater(x,y) ?

Not sure if this will work, since i havn't tested it... :P

Gohan

*edit*
I didn't see that last part, but you can also add:

NPC Code:

---

if(!onwater(x,y)) { x=this.startx; y=this.starty; }

---

or better yet, make it go to the closest place where there is water. Ex: water is to the south:

NPC Code:

---

for(this.wc=0;!onwater(x+2,y+.1);this.wc++) {y+=this.speed}

---

Not sure...but just trying...

because im testing to see if its on a wall? I want it to be in water. Thanks Soul. That helped =D

*would have Co Owned Delteria if he was not dumb*

Want me to make a house outside for you,
i've been in a rather good mood for level
making ...

Well, you could keep a variable for the animation step and increment and set it every 10 timeouts (.3 * 10 = 3, which is the sleep). I'd have done that if I'd have known you wanted to eliminate the use of sleep in your script...but sometimes the sleep command can be useful, so I left it.

er...redo your timeout setup and set the animation every timeout (.3) and do the rest every 10 timeouts.

will somoeone shorten this please
