 Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2008 5:03 am Post subject: Show custom list of stats on screen |
 |
|
Ok, so, I'm working on a custom stat screen, which allows the player to raise any stats with 3 Stat Points per level.
I've figured out some of the scripting and I have a general idea of how it should work
( If hero's current level increases,
give hero 3xSP item.
Send to stats screen
If player selects stat (ex: STR)
then add current stat +1,
remove 1xSP
etc....)
But my problem is how to actually show the player the stats he is selecting and what level they're at. As in:
-Show current player stats on screen in form of a list
-Replace hero by cursor
-If cursor selects a stat, shows that 1 point is added in that stat, so the number representing that current stat raises by 1.
I'm not sure I made myself very clear, it's kinda hard to describe what I'm trying to get.
if this helps: I'm not trying to make the hero's status screen pop-up.

It's not too complicated to work out.
You will be using strings. Many, many strings.

Hmm...I've read about the strings and stuff, I think I got it, but I'm not 100% sure, could someone exaplin setting the string IDs to me?
Examples of what I thought of:
| Code: | $1 ="get hero stat (0, stat:Atk)"
#Problem is: not sure how to use that "$1" in the string...
Show string at (ID, 4, 2)
# replace "ID" by "$1"? |
Atfer I'm done figuring that out I set the get hero stat to add +1 and then I remove 1 SP from hero's inventory.
help?/corrections?/explanations?

By doing that, you'll be setting String #1 as "get hero stat (0, stat:Atk)", rather than the stat itself.
What you should try is:
| Code: | | Append Number (1, getherostat(0, stat:atk, current stat)) |
Which sets the Atk stat of the leader to String #1, which you can display with:
| Code: | | Show string at (1, 4, 2) |
Which will show string #1 at Pixel 4 x-wise and Pixel 2 Y-wise.
There's no need to call it $1 unless you want to redefine it.
Also remember that when you finish up, you should use:
| Code: |
Clear string (1)
#So that the new value is not stuck to the old one
Hide String (1)
#So that the strings are invisiible.
|
So that you don't have any floating words or numbers floating around after the script ends.
Personally, at the end of scripts that use strings, I use a loop that nicely clears/hides all of them.
| Code: |
variable (count)
set variable (count, 30)
#In this case, I'm using 30 Strings.
while(Count>>0)
do(
hide string (count)
clear string (count)
set variable (count, count--1)
)
#Will clear strings until the variable Count is equal to 0.

Ok, so, now I'm trying to make the game check the hero's level and save that before every battle, and after the battle it checks if the hero's current level is equal to the one before the battle. If it's greater, then it loads the stat script. I'm thinking of having it check the level for each character in the caterpillar, and then setting the "get hero level" for every hero in the caterpillar an after-battle script.
Help on how to make the script save the hero's level before battle?

Use the command 'Hero Levelled(Hero ID)' instead.
It checks to see if the hero's level changed after the last giving of experience (through battle or plotscripting).
The command returns the number of levels that a hero has gained and can also be used to check for a level up.
See: 'How do I get it to run a script when I level up a certain hero (me)?' |

Ok, so, I've written about 400 lines of script for this stat system and everytime I add something, it reminds me of something else I forgot to do and it's driving me insane. Could I ask for some help from anyone? I don't want to post the script on here, but I can send it to you through PM (or mail as a .txt document)
Here's what I've managed to do so far:
-All the strings are done
-I was trying to make it so that it teleports to a new map with the stat screen onto it but I then changed my mind since I don't know how to make the hero reappear at his previous spot in the map he was in originally. So I made it so that it sets the maptiles all black and hides the hero.
-I've done all the scripting for whatever stats are added for whatever hero on whatever slot after he/she levels up.
-I'm kinda stuck at the point where the arrow is an npc controlled by the player and when enter is pressed next to whatever stat it starts up the add that stat script.
-It's very messy. Very.
I was hoping to have someone help me with the last part and to polish the messiness/whatever I could of messed up (I always mess up somewhere).
It would be greatly appreciated.

I'd rather not have to redo one of these, but I can provide a few more tips.

Global Variables are your friends!
Before you teleport, try using something akin to:
| Code: |
set variable (My X, herox(me))
set variable (My Y, heroy(me))
set variable (My Map, current map)
|
This will save the map and x/y coordinates of your hero, making for an easty teleport to map (My Map, My X, My Y) when you want to get back.
I've got a messy old script for this from my previous version of Detelamane here, but it's pretty sick to read through.
| Code: |
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
script, Level Up Stats, begin

#$4=

Okay, this is essentially two scripts:
* A Setup script, which gets all of the initial strings and stuff displayed.
* A KeyPress script, which moves an NPC that'll let you distribute stats.
If you are able to read through all of this, I guess you deserve to ask questions. |

Hmm...the variable part is kinda what I really needed.
Thanks a lot twinhamster, also, I didn't really want someone to re-write my whole script, it makes me feel like I'm a noob who didn't go through the effort of actually trying to write it all myself. D=
But yeah, I read through yours and half of the stuff I didn't understand. Some things resemble mine, except mine looks more complicated and longer >_>;
And dam, I didn't think of what would happen if 2 chars leveled at the same time >_<
Question:
If I set a variable in one script can it be used in a different script? Or does it erase at the end of the script where it was created?

Local variables can only be used in the script they were created in.
| Code: |
variable (Variable Name)
#Make one like this
|
Global Variables, on the other hand, are created outside of scripts and can be used anywhere.
| Code: |
Global Variable (ID, NAME)
#Create a Global Variable like this
