 Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2006 12:20 pm Post subject: Costume change for every character |
 |
|
I'm planning on having a little quirk in the game, where equipping any sort of sunglasses on any character causes their battle graphics to change to them wearing sunglasses. However, the sunglasses would be equipable by everyone, so I think that would result in any character looking like one picture if any of them equips the sunglasses...
In other words, how would I get the sunglasses to alter each character's appearance individually?

Ok, here's how I'd do it.
In an instead-of-battle script, put the standard boiler plate:
| Code: | script, instead of battle, formation, begin
fight formation (formation)
end |
Now, put something like this:
| Code: | script, instead of battle, formation, begin
if(check equipment(find hero(hero:guy),slot:head) == item:sunglass) then, begin
set hero picture(find hero(hero:guy), _____, inside battle)
end, else, begin
set hero picture(find hero(hero:guy), _____, inside battle)
end
fight formation (formation)
end |
Replace the "item:sunglass" with the actual constant (or number if you're not using your HSI for some reason), the first _____ with the number of the sunglasses'd picture for hero, and the second _____ with the regular picture. Oh, and "hero:guy" with the real hero (or number).
Then, copy that if-block for each hero who might possibly have access to the sunglasses.
If you already have instead-of-battle scripts, then add a call to this script in the existing one (but, get rid of one of the "fight formation()"s, or the hero will have to fight the enemy party twice!
Unfortunately, this won't change the picture used on the save screen (I don't think... maybe it will...)

It will if this script is run (a battle is fought) before the player saves. Another place to put this check would be after the menu (using an onkeypress script checking for alt and escape). The only problem is, you have to remember to put the check on all maps where the player might have sunglasses. Sometimes this might interfer with other scripts, and be a pain. Actually... what about an after-menu script trigger? However, this still isn't going to solve the problem of people changing equipment and saving, all from the same menu.

Thanks guys. I'm going to go put in the script right now. 
EDIT: Umm, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but hspeak doesn't seem to want to implement the script, and the little warning message it has when it tries to compile flashes too fast (because the box automatically closes after the warning).
My item is Shades, there are six heroes: Kevin, Daniel, Tyler, Laura, Alice, and Katie.
This is what I did for Kevin but the script won't compile. What do I do?
script, instead of battle, formation, begin
if(check equipment(find hero(hero:Kevin),slot:accessory) == item:shades) then, begin
set hero picture(find hero(hero:Kevin), 7, inside battle)
end, else, begin
set hero picture(find hero(hero:Kevin), 1, inside battle)
end
fight formation (formation)
end

try the latest nightly of Hspeak from http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/archive/hspeak-win-nightly.zip
It waits for a keypress before closing now. |

Did you export names from your rpg file?
and did you include it in the main script
You should have something like this on the top of your script.
| Code: |
include, plotscr.hsd
include, yourgamename.hsi
|
If not then there is no way a compiler would know who the kevin dude is.

And, make sure you have this line in there somewhere, preferably above the script:
| Code: | | declare script(XYZ,instead of battle, 1, 0) |
Replace XYZ with a free script number (not autonumber!)
(When I post scripts, I usually don't see the need to post the declare, since it should be obvious to the plotscripter that one is needed...)
