No, so that globals could be defined on the fly.
e.g:

TMC · Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2004 7:10 pm Post subject:

Every time you use the name of a global in a script, it is compiled to a piece of binary code with the id number as a constant. Infact, your entire scripts file is compiled to binary, so you can't possibly allocate a name to a global on the fly.

Also, there are no strings in HamsterSpeak : P

Be content with 'Write global', you can do everything with that that you could do with on the fly global declarations.

I forgot about the no strings rule

new suggestion, a command that checks if a textbox is currently up (if(textbox) while(textbox)). It's not neccessary but it would be handy.

How about James adds a command that let's us use scripts by number? Or is there one already and I read the whole plotscript dictionary and missed it? 'Cause I really hate having to do a bunch of if-then-else's when I could just punch in an algorithm and have 5 lines of code reference ten different scripts depending on certain variables....which I've been doing a lot of lately.

You can sorta emulate being able to run scripts by their number.

Use the "get death script" command (whatever it's called) to retrive the current death script number. Store that in a variable.

Use the "set death script" command (or whatever it's called) to set the death script, passing a script number to the command.

Then "death" the game (yay! it's a verb).

After the script is over, use "set death script" again, passing it the value you saved back at the first command.

At least I THINK this will work...I haven't actually tried it myself.

Actually, I'd thought of that and tried it...till it about killed me. It took more lines of code than my wierdo if-then-else tree, and was extremely inefficient for my purpose, which was essentially to have a switch statement on one or two lines of code. Guess I'll just have to stick with what I've got.[/b]

Crap, I thought I'd logged in. The above is from me (in case you're blind and couldn't tell).

I don't know if this has already been suggested, but a plotscripting command to reload the default passability on a map based on the passability set in the maptiles editor would be nice.

An

"End (scriptname)"

It just terminate the script, regardless of what is in it. If there is stuff in it, it terminates that too. Also:

"End All Scripts"

Terminate all scripts.

This would be REALLY useful.

a script that checks the system time, perhaps? (That is, it would return the actual time in hours and minutes.) A script like this could be useful for doing something similar to the time system in the recent Pokemon iterations.

(Also, i am of reviving a dead thread?)

I don't think it counts for sticky threads...

Anyway, I suggested this a while ago on the OHR Mailing list, but thanks for reminding me. I'll do this myself soon. How's "system hour()", "system minute()" and "system second()"?

W00t, posting in a stickied thread, posting in a stickied thread! A stickied thread with posts ranging from 'oldie' to 'moldy-oldie'! XD

But, um, onto my suggestion â€” how about a 'suspend key' command? It'd use scancodes o'course.

Example:

Moogle1 · Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 9:17 pm Post subject:

Generally, this effect is accomplished by using the suspend player and suspend box advance keys. I can see how it'd be useful to have more specific suspends, but there's no reason to suspend, say, the A key.
