 Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2008 1:09 am Post subject: making a battle menu using maptiles |
 |
|
I'm making a battle menu using maptiles (see screenshot above) but the problem is that I don't see how to launch the right sub menu.
Here is my screenshot with the battle system I came with so far
Here are the scripts:
To call them I count on re-interpreting the right arrow key and the left one.
| Code: |
define script (autonumber, launchmenu, none)
define script (autonumber, leavemenu, none)
define script (autonumber, menu 1, none)
define script (autonumber, menu 2, none)
define script (autonumber, menu 3, none)
define script (autonumber, menu 4, none)
define script (autonumber, menu 5, none)
define script (autonumber, menu 6, none)
define script (autonumber, menu 7, none)
#-------------------------------------------------------
#my on-keypress script
script, on keypress script, begin
if (key is pressed(key: numlock)) then, begin # key is numlock: Pause
while(key is pressed(key: numlock)) do, begin
if (pauseisactive==false) then, begin
pause script
end, else, begin
#thus, pauseisactive must be true
unpaused script
end #end of the first if
end #end for the while
end #end of the second if
if (key is pressed (key:d), and, check tag (tag: battle)) then, begin
while (key is pressed (key:d)) do, begin
if (menuappears==false) then, begin
launch menu
end, else, begin
leave menu
end
end #end for the while
end #end for the if key is pressed
#if (key is pressed (key: space), and, check tag (tag: battle)) then, begin
#while (key is pressed (key: space)) do, begin
#suspend player
#wait(1)
#resume player
#end # end for the while
#end # end for key is pressed space bar
if (key is pressed(key:esc), xor, key is pressed(key:alt)) then, begin # menu is unactivated while battles only
while(keyispressed (key:esc), xor, key is pressed(key:alt)) do, begin
if (check tag (tag: battle)==on) then, begin

My problem is the following, I can't managed to adapt the on-keypress script: I would like that when I move the left or right arrows AND THEN press D my submenu is launched.
As I'm using advanced plotscripting tecnics, feel free to ask as many questions as needed so that you understand precisely what I'm searching for.
Good luck in making your games everybody!

You haven't clearly explained what you are trying to do, how your menu is supposed to work, or what the problem is, so nobody can actually help you. You're not checking the left and right keys anywhere.
| Code: | | while(keyispressed (key:esc), xor, key is pressed(key:alt)) do, begin |
Use OR, not XOR. XOR is exclusive-or, something different.

|
|
All right here are some more explanation.
The menu functions this way: when you press D a first time the menu appears (like on the screenshot). When you move the arrow keys you can switch from M1 to M2 (and then eventually to M3)
If you press D a second time, you enter the sub menu. Let's say that M3 is the item menu then you'll see a list of the items you can use while battle (like battle).
My problem is the following, I don't see how to call sub-menu after D is pressed a second time because I can't put on plotscript language "if M3 is selected, then go to the item menu".
I also have to think about how to unactivate the arrow keys after D have been press a second time.
If you still have questions about this feel free to ask!
As always thanks for answering so quickly!

I'm not sure I fully understand, but, if you're using an NPC of some kind to be the cursor, and mapblocks to be the menu buttons, you could use readmapblock to figure out where the cursor is. If the cursor appears beneath the button you want to press, you'd want to check a tile above the cursor. That'd work like
| Code: | if (readmapblock (NPCX (Cursor)-1,NPCY (Cursor))==WhateverTileM3 is) then (WhateverTheHeckM3Does)
|
NPCX (Cursor)-1 checks to see what's one spot above the cursor. If the cursor's above the menubutton, change it to +1 instead, to check beneath.
You'll have to find the value you want for WhateverTileM3 is by going into the Tile Graphic editor, and counting left to right until you're at the M3 tile. The first line is 0-15, second line 16-31, and so on.
You could do the same thing for all of the buttons. Everytime you pressed D, it could see what menu button it was pointing at, and then execute the proper menu. |

|
|
It seems to be a good idea but I already use an npc (npc 9) to indicate which hero is selected (it's the big yellow cursor in front of the hero dressed in white)
But there is enough free npcs left so I guess I could use another one. The question is now why so should I put after the follwoing code
| Code: |
if (key is pressed(key:right),and, check tag (tag: battle)) then, begin
while (keyispressed (key:right) do, begin
if (readmapblock (NPCX (Cursor)-1,NPCY (Cursor))==WhateverTileM3 is) then (WhateverTheHeckM3Does)
end #end for the while
end #end for the if
|
I hope that there are not too many ifs in this code!
A cursor moves a specific way and there's also the cursor animation that has to be taken in account. This last part should be easier because there is an article in the wiki that explains how to animate npcs)
Good luck!

You have guessed that it was the battle system for my Saiyuki Game! 
Don't worry! Those are only the basic grafics! I will all remake them when the gameplay will be implemented! If you have any suggestions, please put them here!
Good luck in making your games everybody!

|
|
When I compile my game I get the following message:
| Hspeak wrote: |
warning: in line 507 of script inputstring" in plotscr.hsd
variable (done, key, show, c)
c is never used
|
As explained in the message the error comes from plotscr.hsd. Does somoene see what to do about this?
As always thanks in advance for your help!

Yeah, it doesn't seem to affect your scripts, but I think it's a typo in the .hsd file that one of the programmers left perhaps from editing. I think it should have been fixed by now though... are you using the most recent .hsd file?

I've tried with the line "if read mapblock then...) but it doesn't work. I also tried with a previous stored location and it still doesn't work.  My problem is still the same. I'm using Npc 11 as cursor and I would like to make it move using arrows.
I also would like that when D is pressed and if the menu has been previously launched the script will check where the cursor is and launch the appropriate menu screen after checking.
All the suggestions are welcomed! As always thanks very much for the help and for answering so quickly!
