What I want the code to do is to take the (map number) and the (X) and (Y) position of the hero and place it into global variables that can be called back.

My code goes as such:

My global variables are...

global variable (2, Mapnum)
global variable (3, heroxt)
global variable (4, heroyt)

And the part of the code that uses these variables

((Mapnum) == (current map))
((heroxt) == (hero X (me)))
((heroyt) == (hero Y (me)))
Fade screen out
wait (10)
teleport to map (9, 13, 9)
wait (10)
fade screen in

Example: If you are on any map you can press "C" and be taken to a status screen, which is a different map. On the status screen you can then press the exit key and it will teleport you back and place the character in the same X, Y position on the same map that you opened the status screen on.

fade screen out
wait (10)
teleport to map ((Mapnum), (heroxt), (heroyt))
advance textbox
wait (10)
fade screen in

Above is the code used to return from the status screen to the map you opened it up on.

The problem comes in with the saving of the map number into (Mapnum) and the hero's X and Y into (heroxt) and (heroyt). It should save the numbers but instead Hspeak gives me this error.



I've tweaked the code around alot but it still gives me this error. And when I play the game with this implemented code, it opens up the 'Status screen' like it should and exits like it should. But when it returns to the map it puts the hero on (Map 0), position (X-0), (Y-0).
This makes sence because the variables are empty and so it loads those positions.

How can I get it to load the numbers I want it to load and stop giving me this error?

Sorry I put this up. For some reason when I submitted it it put me on as Guest, even though I was logged in. [New-Gen]

Thanks Calehey.

Alright now my code stands as this

[New-Gen]

Haha I just figured it out.

It's actually quite silly of me. I was looking at the script files for one of Fenrir's old games.

If anyone wants to know. You have to use the

set variable (mapnum, currentmap)

comand to get this done.

Thanks anyway

Well, using "setvariable()" is not really needed, and I'm pretty sure (just going on a hunch here) that the real problem with Calehay's version of the script is that the parentheses are probably messing with the " := " command. So it should be:

[TMC]

setvariable has been obsolete for nearly 10 years!

HSpeak's errors are often not helpful. I can see why it gave you that weird second error, but can't think of a simple way to improve it. The first and last errors were totally clear and helpful though.

I'm tempted to have any direct use of "set variable" throw an "obsolete" warning.... but I guess that would be pushy, so I won't bother :)
