k well i've been working on a game for quite a while since 2005 i think and i've finally finsihed the world and moved onto making the scripts i have someone making my battle systems right now he does RPG books for a living and i'm trying to make most difficult script there will be in my game work theres 7 choices of heros each ehro starts off in a diffrent part of the massive world problem i'm having is getting them to teleport to certain areas for only certain people i know i must be missing some commands i can't find on the plot scripting tutorials aor dicitonary heres what i got so far but for some reason its not picking up my text box commands id its really annoying and i'd appreciate any help k, i've tried several ways to make this work already only idea i have left is maybe if i link all my scirpts which by themselves work i might be able to get it to work for all of the characters


this is what i got so far won't pick up the wait for text box's id correctly

include, plotscr.hsd
include, NES_STAR.hsi



plotscript,teleports, begin
wait for text box (9)
teleport to map (0, 5, 6)
end

'Wait for text box ()' actually doesn't work quite like that.

You first need to tell the game to:

'Show text box (#)'

which will make the actual text box show up.
However, it will disappear pretty quickly, so you want to follow up with a:

'wait for text box'

This will tell the script to do nothing until the player advances the text box.

Together, your script should be looking like:
Code:

include, plotscr.hsd
include, NES_STAR.hsi



plotscript,teleports, begin

show text box (9)
wait for text box

teleport to map (0, 5, 6)
end


Instead of using a script, you also could have edited the conditionals of textbox 9 to use a door that would take you to (5,6) of map 0.



But if you feel that you'd rather use a script, then go for it.

[edit] Also, I'm not sure that I completely understand your hero problem situation.

Code:
include, plotscr.hsd
include, NES_STAR.hsi

define script (1, teleports, none)

script, teleports, begin
Suspend player
show text box (9)
wait for text box
fade screen out (0,0,0)
teleport to map (0, 5, 6)
wait (1)
fade screen in
resume player
end


Here's my version of the code...

And yeah, I don't think I understand your hero problem...

I'm sorry dude, but you really need to type in complete sentences with PUNCTUATION and CAPITAL LETTERS if you want people to help you. It is very hard to figure out what your problem is and what you are asking for otherwise.

Based on what I've read here and in the announcements forum, I'm guessing you will need one script that does something akin to the following:
Code:
switch(herobyrank(0)), do
 begin
  case(hero:Name of First Hero), do
   begin
    teleport to map(whatever,x,y)
    #stuff that occurs at first if first hero was chosen
   end
  case(hero:Name of Second Hero), do
   begin
    teleport to map(whatever,x,y)
    #stuff that occurs at first if second hero was chosen
   end
  case(
#...and so on for each hero.

See the description of "switch" and "case" on the plotscript dictionary. But I must admit I'm a little unsure of where you are right now in your scripting abilities. For instance, how did you let the player choose who he was going to be?
