As in run on the map, or from a battle?

I'm assuming you're talking about layer 2. If you want all the effect to pop up simulatneously all across the map, it's easy. Just place the layer 2 tiles on the map as if you would see if during the effect, make sure you have an empty tileset, then do a script something like this: (ran as a auto run script on the map)
| Code: | plotscript, weathereffect, begin
variable (done)
done := false
load tileset (x, 2) #Where "x" is the number of the blank tileset
while (done == false) do
(
wait (120) #Or however long you want the effect off the screen
load tileset (y, 2) #Where "y" is the number of your weather tileset
wait (30) #Or however long you want the effect on the screen
load tileset (x, 2)
#Now, insert a condition that makes the weather stop if needed.
If (blargh) then #blargh should be replaced with approriate condition
( #such as "if (tag:stoprain == on) then"
done := true
)
)
end |
If you want something more complex, like effects appearing on different parts of the screen at once, it gets a bit more difficult.

| Why don't you try writing it on your own, and then if you get stuck, post the script and we can help point you in the right direction? |

Well this is the point! i don't know how to do some of them
see
| Code: | include, plotscr.hsd
define script(1,night,0)
script,night,begin
wait (25920)
load tileset (4,0)
wait (25920)
load tileset (0,0)
end |
i don't know how to make it loop and using variables like calehay do only gives me a black screen
and the runing script and shoting script i dont know Even how to start it, i'm not good whit plotscripts like this but i understand whit some observation

That's why there are resources for people in your situation.

I just tested it and it worked perfectly. Can you post the script the way you put it in yours?
| Quote: | | Code: | include, plotscr.hsd
define script(1,night,0)
script,night,begin
wait (25920)
load tileset (4,0)
wait (25920)
load tileset (0,0)
end |
|
This would not work because you're loading your weather tileset as layer 0. The second argument in the load tileset command is the layer you want that tileset to be loaded to. You also have to make sure that you've enabled the second layer on that map in custom. (Also, remember that, for the second layer, the top left corner tile will be transparent, even if there's graphics there. I've made that mistake far too often.)
The effect would also only run once, and then finish. Flow control commands are very useful, and I suggest learning them before trying to tackle these other massive scripts, because you will definitely need them.
Also, wait (25920) is around 24 minutes. One tick is roughly 1/18th of a second.

Yep 24 minutes, is the time between day and night on most games, but for the weather i was using this one
| Code: | script,Rain,begin
variable (done)
done := false
load tileset (2, 2)
while (done == False) do
(
wait (180)
load tileset (3, 2)
wait (100)
load tileset (2, 2)
end) |
i see i figured out what was Causing the problem i was forgoten the "()"and well, i need these scripts to load on Map auto run, it is posible to use 2 in 1?
and how about the shoting script?

Only one script at a time can run, so you might be better of using timers rather than big long wait() commands.
| Code: |
include, plotscr.hsd
plotscript, become day, begin
load tileset(0,0)
set timer(0, 1, 25920, @become night)
end
plotscript, become night, begin
load tileset(4,0)
set timer(0, 1, 25920, @become day)
end
|
Just run "become day" at the beginning. It will load the daytime tileset into map layer 0, and then it will start timer 0 counting down for 24 minutes. After timer 0 runs out it will trigger "become night" and reset the timer for another 24 minutes. When that runs out, it triggers "become day", and so-on.
There are no "wait" commands involved, so this will not interfere with any other scripts, nor will any other scripts interfere with it.
Your rain script can be approached the same way, but you will need a different timer.
| Code: |
plotscript, start rain, begin
load tileset (2, 2)
set timer (1, 1, 180, @slow rain)
end
plotscript, slow rain, begin
load tileset (3, 2)
set timer (1, 1, 100, @stop rain)
end
plotscript, stop rain, begin
load tileset (2, 2)
end
|
See? This one uses timer number 1. You run "start rain" in your map autorun script. It sets the timer for "slow rain", and that sets the timer for "stop rain"
You can have up to 16 different timers going at any time (numbered 0 to 15) |

well based on what you show, i see that is posible to trigger a script whit a comand, so i tried this
| Code: | define script(1,rain,0)
define Script(2,night,0)
script,rain,begin
@night
variable (done)
done := false
load tileset (2, 2)
while (done == False) do
(
wait (180)
load tileset (3, 2)
wait (100)
load tileset (2, 2)
end)
script,night,begin
variable (var1)
var1 := false
while (var1 == false) do
(
wait (36)
load tileset (4,0)
wait (36)
load tileset (0,0)
end) |
i'm not sure if it's correct but i think i'm losing something

|
| Code: | define script(1,rain,0)
define Script(2,night,0) |
These are not needed anymore. You can make things easier on yourself if you read 'How do I convert my scripts from old to new syntax?'
| Code: |
script,rain,begin
night
variable (done)
|
To call one script from another you just use the name. You do not need the @ sign. The @ sign is special for "set timer"
| Code: |
while (done == False) do
(
wait (180)
load tileset (3, 2)
wait (100)
load tileset (2, 2)
end)
|
The way you have written your script, none of this will happen until the "night" script is completely finished. You cannot make two scripts run at the same time, even if they use "wait" commands.
That is why I am suggesting that you should use timers for your day/night and weather effects instead of wait commands.
Your script should be something like this:
| Code: |
plotscript, map autorun, begin
become day
start rain
end
plotscript, become day, begin
load tileset(0,0)
set timer(0, 1, 25920, @become night)
end
plotscript, become night, begin
load tileset(4,0)
set timer(0, 1, 25920, @become day)
end
plotscript, start rain, begin
load tileset (2, 2)
set timer (1, 1, 180, @slow rain)
end
plotscript, slow rain, begin
load tileset (3, 2)
set timer (1, 1, 100, @stop rain)
end
plotscript, stop rain, begin
load tileset (2, 2)
end

Your second request is much harder. You want to give NPC's HP and make them shoot at you whenever they face you? I've never seen any non-sidescrolling game actually do that (aside from a minigame in SoJ which was scrapped because it ran too slowly or something like that), so I don't think anyone has a script like that to give you.

Yes, and it was a very complicated script. You're essentially asking someone to program your game for you here.
