 Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2005 12:39 pm Post subject: Why don't you change? |
 |
|
In my up coming game...
I'll release the name with the game.
But, I'm using a equipment-combination-script thingy.
Basically, you equip weapons, and your hero and walkabout pictures change.
I've got this working for every combination but one.
| Code: | #Dish with Fork
if (
check tag (20)==on
)
then(
set hero picture (me,49, outside battle)
set hero picture (me, 0, inside battle)
set hero palette (me,0, inside battle)
)
|
For some reason, instead of changing the hero picture to "0", it changes to "2" or "3" (they look about the same.)
And, I don't think this part of the script interferes with any other part of the script.
Help please. |

we will need to see the whole script to be able to help, but I can start by saying that you almost certainly never want to use "me" as the first argument to "set hero picture"
Me is always zero, which is appropriate for commands like "walk hero" that apply to the leader fo rthe walkabout caterpillar party, but "set hero picture" expects the hero's position in the battle party, not its position in the walkabout party (it does not matter if you are changing the inside-of-battle picture or the outside of battle picture, still use battle party positions)
If the hero has been moved to a different slot "me" will do the wrong thing. You probably want to use "find hero"
Anyway, let's see more of the script. |

Well, the game only has one hero, so I just use "me".
And, here's the rest of the script:
| Code: |
script, equipment sprites, begin
#Dish with Fork
if (
check tag (20)==on
)
then(
set hero picture (me,49, outside battle)
set hero picture (me, 0, inside battle)
set hero palette (me,0, inside battle)
)
#Dish but has a fork
if(
check tag (28)==on
and
check tag (8)==on
)
then(
set hero picture (me, 3, inside battle)
set hero palette (me, 0, inside battle)
set hero picture (me, 49, outside battle)
)
#Only dish
if (
check tag (8)==on
and
check tag (16)==on
)
then(
set hero picture (me, 53, outside battle)
set hero picture (me, 2, inside battle)
set hero palette (me, 0, inside battle)
set hero palette (me, 0, outside battle)
)
#Only sword
if(
check tag (8)==off
and
check tag (15)==on
)
then(
set hero picture (me, 0, outside battle)
set herop icture (me, 5, inside battle)
set hero palette (me, 0, inside battle)
)
#Fist only
if(
check tag (16)==on
and
check tag (15)==off
and
check tag (8)==off
)
then(
set herop icture (me, 0, outside battle)
set hero picture (me, 1, inside battle)
set hero palette (me, 19, inside battle)
)
#Only Fist is equipped, but has sword
if(
check tag (16)==on
and
check tag (28)==on
and
check tag (8)==off
)
then(
set hero picture (me, 0, outside battle)
set hero picture (me, 4, inside battle)
set hero palette (me, 19, inside battle)
)
end

but you cannot assume that that one hero will alwaus be in the very first hero slot. The player could move them to another slot. You could do something like this:
| Code: |
variable(hero)
hero := find hero(hero by rank(me))
|
and then use "hero" in place of "me" for the rest of the script.
Anyway, other than that, the script looks simple and correct. Maybe the problem lies in the way you are triggering the script. How is this script being run? |

Thanks for the variable tip, but I don't really move the hero around...
And as far as my way of activating the script, it is an "each step script".
I've also tried to replace the picture which it is suppose to change the hero to.
-I've tried to change the palette to see if there is any change, and this has only resulted in the changing of the "outside battle" picture.
-It's like the first "set hero picture (inside battle)" command is completely ignored. |

looks to me like your tag doesn't work. go into your item, and check if it gets set. to me it looks like dish gets tag 28 not 20 try replacing that and see if it works.
try something like this
I assumed that tag 28 is for dish, otherwise the script should work.
| Code: |
if(check tag(28)==on
and
checktag(8)==off
)
then
.....

| If you have debugging keys enabled, you can press F4 to check your tags and make sure they are really getting turned on my your equipment. |

Actually, tag 20 is turned on when both the fork and dish are equipped, and that is on when both are equipped.
Tag 28 is the tag for the fork, and the dish actually has tag 8.
As I've said before, the problem isn't the activation of that part of the script, but the fact that the "inside battle picture" just won't change to 0.
It's like that one command is completely ignored... |

Maybe you should add a debugging text box into the script, that says something like "You have equipped the fork and spoon! Now changing the picture...". Then, in game, equip the fork and spoon, and try it out.
If the textbox shows up, but the picture doesn't change, maybe you have the picture index wrong. A way to test that would be to equip another combo that DOES work, and then switch back.

1) With the text box thing, I have tried something similar. Basically, my version consisted of an npc popping up right in front of you if the script worked. But, the npc worked, picture didn't.
2)I've tried every possible combo, they all work except this one picture, then I tried a copy of the hero set as a new set, this didn't work either...
Maybe I used the wrong command or something? |

The problem is most likely that you're using "me." Check the PSdict and make sure you shouldn't be using something like findhero instead.

Me isn't the problem, it was actually the fact that "tag (20)" and "tags (8) and (28) " were the same, and in the script I had a:
| Code: |
if(
check tag (8)==on
and
checktag (28)==on
then(
etc...
|
Since I wanted tag (20) on, it also had to have tags 8 and 28 on, so it triggered that part of the script instead of the first part.
But it's fixed now, thanks to everyone for the help. |
