 Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 6:14 am Post subject: Never plotscripted before, looking for a little help |
 |
|
Hey guys, I'm making a game, and I need to be able to do the following things with plotscripting.
I have an item called "Heart"
Upon activation...
1. If the player has 0 Hearts, GAME OVER, and a game over screen.
2. Otherwise, Make an NPC take away 1 Heart
Hearts function as life.
This game doesn't have an RPG battle system btw, but I am using OHRRPGCE.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Also, is it possible to create an intro in .bmps and have it display only on starting a new game?

On activation of the 'Heart' item, or upon activation of the script?
I'll assume the latter.
You will want to make use of the 'inventory()' command.
So your script might look something like:
| Code: | Plotscript, Heart Checker, begin
if( inventory(#Heart) >>0)
then(
#Something happens
delete item(#Heart, 1)
)
else(
Gameover
)
end
|
You may also want to consider taking a look at global variables, which can do the same job in a nicer fashion.
Regarding your second request, there's a command that lets you load scripts instead of the load screen or something? which would probably fit your needs.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to access the online Plotscripting Dictionary at the moment. |

You want a script something like this:
| Code: |
plotscript, intro screens, begin
show backdrop(0)
wait for key
show backdrop(1)
wait for key
show backdrop(2)
wait for key
show backdrop(3)
wait for key
show backdrop(4)
wait for key
end
|
You will have to adjust that to use the actual backdrop numbers that you see when you import your BMP files into custom.
Also, if you want the screens to advance without waiting for keypresses, then you want something like this:
| Code: |
plotscript, intro screens, begin
show backdrop(0)
wait(90)
show backdrop(1)
wait(90)
show backdrop(2)
wait(90)
show backdrop(3)
wait(90)
show backdrop(4)
wait(90)
end
|
"wait(90)" waits for 90 game ticks. There are about 18 ticks in a second, so wait(90) would wait about 5 seconds.
Anyway, to make your script run only for a new game, you just go into the "Edit General Game Data..." menu, and then to the "Special Plotscripts" menu, and choose your script as the "New Game Script" |

| Code: |
include, plotscr.hsd
include, oldschool.hsi
define script(1, newgame, none)
define script(2, RaekuulIsOldFashioned, none)
define script(autonumber, TakeAHike, none)
define global variable(1, hearts)
script, newgame, begin
hearts == #whatever number you want it to be, I'm assuming three
#whatever the rest of the introduction script is, I just find that setting globals ASAP makes it easier on me
end
script, RaekuulIsOldFashioned, begin # This can actually be any name you choose, I'm just giving an example
#This is however you do the Hit Detection, but make sure it calls TakeAHike inside of an if statement
end
script, TakeAHike, begin
if hearts == 0, then begin
#dead hero stuff
game over
end
else, begin
decrement hearts
end end

Holy crap that was fast! Wow guys, thanks a lot, this is a huge help and should give me a little practice implementing plotscripts.
With this, I should even be able to set it up so that you get a different game over screen depending upon the enemy that kills you.
Thanks again!

Well now, wait a minute. I'm not even sure I did that right!

s'alright if its not. I've got enough compsci experience to take it from here. And if it doesn't work I'll just post the code here :)
Not in any rush to crank out this game.

How does this look?
| Code: | include, plotscr.hsd
include, oldschool.hsi
define script(1, NewGame, none)
define script(2, GetHit, none)
define global variable(1, Hearts)
script, NewGame, begin
Hearts == 1000
#whatever number you want it to be, I'm assuming three
show backdrop(0)
wait for key
# show backdrop(1)
# wait for key
#show backdrop(2)
#wait for key
#show backdrop(3)
#wait for key
#show backdrop(4)
#wait for key
end
script, GetHit, begin
if
(
inventory(#Heart) >> 0
)
then
(
delete item(#Heart, 1)
)
else
(
Gameover
)
end
|

| Code: | include, plotscr.hsd
include, skeletronic.hsi
define script(1, NewGame, none)
define script(2, TakeDamage, none)
script, NewGame, begin
(
add item(#Heart, 1000)
show backdrop(0)
wait for key
)
end
script, TakeDamage, begin
(
if
(
inventory(#Heart) >> 0
)
then
(
delete item(#Heart, 1)
)
else
(
Gameover
)
)
end
end |
That's what I have, and its not compiling. It says the error is line 16 (script, TakeDamage, begin) and that declaration script is not permitted inside a script. Perhaps newgame has an extra Begin or (
Any ideas?

| Looks fine, except you'll want to replace #Heart with the Heart's item ID or you'll get a game over the moment you get hit. |

# means it's a comment; the rest of the line is ignored. Instead, you want something like "item:heart" or whatever. Check your HSI file.
