  |
|
OK, so I think it'll be something like this:
| Code: |
SetTargetToWhoeverBumped
{check if target has less than 20% of their health}
tmpargument={fancy particles}
SpawnExactParticle
KillTarget |
So really simple.
Just don't know how to check health percentage.
Or can I do that?
Oh, and I also need a bit of help with checking a bunch of things at once. How would I make it so that something happens if it has a skill ID or is a certain class or is a certain other class?
I need this for the mana potion scripting, because unless something has changed, there is no skill ID for Divine magic.
Thinking about it now, how did I come this far with such a (relatively) feeble grasp of the scripting system?

| Code: |
tmpx = targetlife > 8
tmpy = 2 //2 life left
IfXIsLessThanY
|
| Code: |
tmpargument = [WMAG]
IfTargetHasSkillID //Arcane magic
tmpargument = [WIZA]
IfTargetHasID //Target is wizard
|

| Code: |
tmpx = targetlife > 8
tmpy = 2 //2 life left
IfXIsLessThanY
|
But doesn't this just check if it has a certain amount of life left? Is there a way to do percentage, or will I have to stick with this?
| Code: |
tmpargument = [WMAG]
IfTargetHasSkillID //Arcane magic
tmpargument = [WIZA]
IfTargetHasID //Target is wizard
|
n
And that won't check if it has WMAG and WIZA? It'll check if it has one or the other?
So I could do:
| Code: | mpargument = [WMAG]
IfTargetHasSkillID
tmpargument = [HEAL] //may have gotten the IDSZ wrong, but whatever.
IfTargetHasID
tmpargument = [PALA] // ' '
IfTargetHasID
{heal mana and maybe show a message}
Else
tmpargument= {messagenumber}
ShowMessageNear {or whatever it is} //Yuck! This stuff is awful! In retrospect, driking random liquids in mysterious bottles is probably a really stupid idea. |
...and that would work?

Wouldn't it be much easier if you would just check to see if a character has at least 1 point of max mana?

No.
It already works that way: potions do nothing if you do not have mana.
Mana potions aren't supposed to restore Psychokinesis mana, Nature mana, or any other kind of mana we may have in the future. Just Divine and Arcane.

I think it should look something like this then:
| Code: |
tmpargument = [WMAG]
IfTargetHasSkillID
<Recover mana>
Else
tmpargument = [HMAG] // Use this instead of Healer/Paladin tags.
IfTargetHasID
<Recover mana>
Else
<Show yucky message> |

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Could just copy the script and do it multiple times for each check.
I'll try that then.
Oh, but there really is a skill for Divine magic now? That must have been added with the new skill system.
Back in the day they didn't need one, because relics just checked for class (Paladins can't use all of them).

What he said.
In addition I dont think there is a way to check life precentage. But I could add it in...

That'd be nice.
But not until flight scripting is fully enabled.
I remember you originally made it check if you were jumping, but the script would then not work, since as soon as you were levitating, you would no longer be jumping.
Now, though, it can check for the press of the actual key, right? So it'll work? What version is that in?

Oh, please do, I could use if for an object I've made.

Should be in the latest trunk.
Btw some very nice work on your site Chainsaw. I've been adding a couple of things of them into the game already.
Come to think of it we are missing a title image for the Archaeologist. It's a difficult one, since it is a Starter and thus should have a image of the archaeologist.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that.
As for the Archaeologist title, I'll try making it this weekend, but it won't be as good as the Snake or the Penguin one, the program I used back then won't work for me anymore...

Trunk? On the SVN? Or just the latest development release? Or even stable?
I don't know all this trendy net lingo!
And, whoah, Chainsaw, your website is awesome. It has inspired me to make mine actually look decent.

I finished it, but I can't test it, as I don't have the game yet (I'm going to download it now, but someone may as well test it right away)
If it works, I'll copy the same script for the mind node and mana herbs.
