Also, the 63-65 in the codes are the numbers of global variables. Change them to numbers of free globals in your scripts (or, leave them as they are, doesn't really matter)

|
|
Sorry but when I use the following scripts the text box appears with 0 in it but then I can't make them disappear. Furthermore, I can't deposit any money whereas three 0 appears and I've replaced ( and) by {and}
Anyone has any idea why the script wouldn't work??
Thanks for the help!
| Code: |
define script (14, bank script, none)
define script (autonumber, withdraw, 1, 0)
define script (autonumber, deposit, 1, 0)
Global variable (0,bankbalance)# Banque
Global variable (1, goldvar) # Banque2
Global variable (2, bankvar) # Banque3
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
script, deposit, amount, begin
if (pay money (amount)) then, begin
bankbalance := bankbalance + amount
end
end
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
script, withdraw, amount, begin
if (bankbalance >= amount) then, begin
bankbalance := bankbalance -- amount
get money (amount)
end
end
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
script, bank script, begin
variable (whichbox) #which text box to show
variable (pressedkey) #simplify keystroke interpretation a bit
variable (i) #loop counter
#get current amount of money
#unfortunately this takes a long time if you have a lot of money
#stops counting at 32767
goldvar := 0
while (goldvar<= 32767,and,pay money(1)) do(goldvar += 1)
get money (goldvar)
bankvar := 0 #default deposit/withdrawal amount is zero
show text box (29) #ask the player what he wants to do
wait for text box #wait for the player to make a choice
if (check tag(tag:Withdraw)) then (whichbox := WithdrawBox)
else (whichbox := DepositBox)
#figure out which text box to use for all this
#now, loop until we get the amount to withdraw/deposit.
set tag(tag:BankInputNotDone, true)
suspend box advance
show text box (whichbox)
while (check tag(tag:BankInputNotDone)) do, begin
wait(1) #might need to mess with this value to avoid hypersensitivity
#find out what key was pressed, if any
#first, if the key was Enter, input is done
if (key is pressed(key:ENTER)) then (set tag(tag:BankInputNotDone, false)) else, begin
#next, if Backspace is pressed, erase the last digit
if (key is pressed(key:BACKSPACE)) then, begin
bankvar := bankvar/10
advance text box #clear the current text box...
show text box (whichbox) #...and redisplay it, updated
end
#finally, otherwise, check for digits
else, begin
pressedkey := 0 #initially assume no key pressed
for (i, 2, 11, 1) do (if (key is pressed(i)) then (pressedkey := i)) #top-row numbers
for (i, 71, 82, 1) do (if (key is pressed(i)) then (pressedkey := i)) #numpad numbers
if (pressedkey <> 0) then, begin
#change value of bankvar appropriately

Does text box 29 even show up? Do WithdrawBox and DepositBox say anything besides the number?

From a quick scan, I can see that your first while loop doesn't have a wait command, this freezes the game.
next, does your textbox have something like this ${v##} where ## is number of the global variable that shows the bank balance or whatever number you want to display.

It doesn't need a wait, it just counts the player's money.
Are WithdrawBox and DepositBox constants? If so, what are they, and what are their textboxes?

|
|
I've change the global variable definitions
| Code: |
Global variable (63,bankbalance)# Banque
Global variable (64, goldvar) # Banque2
Global variable (65, bankvar) # Banque3
|
I can know see the amount of money I hold. Anyway, as Mike explained the while doesn't need a wait command because it just counts money.
Text box 29 roughly say "hello sir welcome to the bank what do you want to do? Withdraw / Deposit. I've included it here as explained in the article in the wiki.
My problems are the following
1) for strange reasons when I speak to the bank officier he sometimes display text box 29 and some other times he display the text box with the amount of money you have.
2) each time I make run the script the text box with the deposit or withdraw amount stays on screen. It was as if the advance text box and resume box advance commands has just no effects.
Thanks once more for help and advice. |

| You might need a wait command. The "ShowTextBox" command specifies that the textbox won't be shown until the next wait command. A simple "wait (2) or so should suffice. |

Let's try a wait (2) command but where shall I put it in the script?
I didn't know that the wait command could act as wait for text when text box advance is suspended...
Anyway there's still something new to learn in plotscripting! |

| Not quite helpful for the Bis Senchi's problem, but I think that I had a much more efficient method for calculating how much money a player has. I don't want to mess it up now, but when I go home I'll pull it out and copy it to post on here, if anyone is interested (it counted down starting with large numbers, rather than counting down 1 at a time, as the current method seems to do). |

|
|
Ok let's put apart the bank script for some times. Here's another problem.
I would like to modify the gradual fade out (see above) so that at the end I tweak the palette (-48, -48 , 0).
| Code: |
# gradual fade out
for(loop,0,-21,-1) do(
reset palette
tweak palette(loop*2,loop*2,loop*2)
update palette
wait(2)
)
|
So has someone has any idea on how to do it?
As always thanks very much for the help! |

That's easy:
| Code: | for(loop,0,23,1) do, begin
tweak palette(-2,-2,0)
update palette
wait(2)
end |
tweak palette "shifts" the palette values by the amount you specify. So, if you shift Red and Green by -2, 24 times, the net result is -48 (-2 * 24 = -4

Thanks a lot Mike Caron!
I am working on my YuGiOh! battle system and I would to create a life count system. I am using a map as a Duel Arena.
The figures would appear on the left corner of the screen.
Does somoene has any idea on how to appear on screen figures that can be changes? (I mean by this any idea on the command that I could use?)
Several suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks in advance for the help as always! |

Alternpc would change the characters on the screen, if thats what you mean. If you want a none animated characters, you could use maptiles. thats what I used in 2 of my games(final fantasy memory card game, and final fantasy memory card game DX. Also used same thing in not-yet-released blackjack ohr)

Well well ... alter npc definitely seems to be what I need.
You have said that
| Quote: | | if you want a none animated characters, you could use maptiles |
Could you explain how to animate characters using maptitle?
By the way does the word "character" refers to heroes or npcs?
Thanks for answering so quickly! |

What YSoft meant to say was this:
If you need to display an HP count or something, you can use a string instead of NPCs. Or, if it uses a 'token' system (the only TCG I'm familiar with is Pokémon), you could use a 'letter' to represent the token (more likely a special font character), and just display it repeatedly, like a heart meter.
For doing cards, this depends how much detail you want to put into them. By this, I mean:
~ Picture?
~ List of moves/effects?
~ Descriptions of said moves and effects?
~ Vital stats?
~ Irrelavent "extra info" line at the bottom?
You could use tiles to "draw" the cards, and use NPCs and strings to actually display stuff on the cards. The way you would do this depends on how big you want the cards to be, although I can help you with more details.
