 Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2006 10:53 am Post subject: Tag checking for weapons |
 |
|
Okay, so I want to make it so that either the "each step" or "autorun" and the "instead of battle" scripts for maps, I want the game to check which weapon is equipped, and accordingly it will change the battle picture. Since there will be more than one weapon, how do I write the script so that the picture and attack will be correct, according to the weapon?
| Code: | if (check tag(tag:Pistol Equip))
then,begin
(write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,atk:Pistol))
set hero picture (hero:Reed,1,inside battle)
end
else,begin
(write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,0))
set hero picture (hero:Reed,0,inside battle)
end
if (check tag(tag:Rifle Equip))
then,begin
(write spell (hero:Reed,atk:Pistol))
set hero picture (hero:Reed,3,inside battle)
end
else,begin
(write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,0))
set hero picture (hero:Reed,0,inside battle)
end |
That causes no attack to be used at all, since the else causes the hero to be unarmed even if he has a pistol. What should I do to get this to work for four different weapons?

I cleaned up the script, and fixed a bug for you. The key to this type of thing (until Ubersetzung comes out, at least) is to nest the if() then...else blocks, like this:
| Code: | if something then
great!
else
if something else then
great!
else
if something else 2 then
great
else
nothing worked :(
end
end
end |

| Just a random guess, but since "Else" and "If" are involved... maybe the addition of an "Elsif"-type thing for plotscripts? |

In U., I'd just do this:
| Code: | if (check tag(tag:Pistol Equip)) then, begin
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,atk:Pistol)
set hero picture (hero:Reed,1,inside battle)
exit script
end
if (check tag(tag:Rifle Equip)) then, begin
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,atk:Pistol)
set hero picture (hero:Reed,3,inside battle)
exit script
end
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,0)
set hero picture (hero:Reed,0,inside battle) |
... actually, I lied. Right now, I'd do this:
| Code: | write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,0) #default
set hero picture (hero:Reed,0,inside battle)
#special cases:
if (check tag(tag:Pistol Equip)) then, begin
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,atk:Pistol)
set hero picture (hero:Reed,1,inside battle)
end
if (check tag(tag:Rifle Equip)) then, begin
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,atk:Pistol)
set hero picture (hero:Reed,3,inside battle)
end |

I made sure to make switch alot more abusable than it is in other languages.

It should not work that way!  it should be a jump table, with optimizations, and... *cry*

I'd actually do it as an instead of battle script, as an every step script would use a lot of unneccessary processing time, and an autorun script (I assume you mean something like an on map load script or a new game script) would lose accuracy if someone changed equipment in the middle of a map.
Game.exe automatically passes the battle formation you would have fought as the first argument to an instead of battle script, so you can use fight formation to fight the appropriate battle as normal after you perform the appropriate calculations, like so:
| Code: |
begin, my instead of battle script, formationNum, begin
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,0) #default
set hero picture (hero:Reed,0,inside battle)
#special cases:
if (check tag(tag:Pistol Equip)) then, begin
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,atk:Pistol)
set hero picture (hero:Reed,1,inside battle)
end
if (check tag(tag:Rifle Equip)) then, begin
write spell (hero:Reed,0,0,atk:Pistol)
set hero picture (hero:Reed,3,inside battle)
end
fight formation(formationNum)
end
