I can't get this script to work.
It cancels out the "if, then, else" commands.
What do I have to do to fix it?

Could someone also tell me what the "Please post long scripts with the pre tag." is about? I don't get it.

script, my script, begin
suspend player
suspend cata pillar
set hero picture (find hero (2), 49, outside battle)
set hero palette (find hero (2), 60, outside battle)
teleport to map (12, 6, 4)
delete item (31, 1)
walk hero to x (1, 0)
walk hero to y (1, 4)
walk hero to x (2, 0)
walk hero to y (2, 5)
walk hero to x (3, 0)
walk hero to y (3, 6)
show text box (465)
wait for text box
create npc (random (0, 5),6, 6, right)
create npc (random (0, 5),9, 7, left)
create npc (random (0, 5),6, 8, right)
create npc (random (0, 5),15, 9, left)
if (key is pressed (33))
then (
wait (5)
write map block (5, 4, 70)
set hero speed (10)
walk hero (find hero (2), right, 4)
wait for hero (find hero (2))
set hero speed (find hero (2), 2)
walk hero (find hero (2), down, 5)
wait (5)
set tag (34 , on)
suspend obstruction
set hero speed (10)
walk hero to x (me, 5)
walk hero to y (me, 4)
)
else (
)
set tag (34, off)
resume obstruction
set hero picture (find hero (2), 0, outside battle)
set hero palette (find hero (2), 58, outside battle)
teleport to map (6, 49, 29)
resume cata pillar
resume player
end

It means you should say <pre> before every big block of code and </pre> afterward. I think the "code" tag works just as well.

It may be that you mean to have the "if" block in a loop. As is, the script will only trigger that "then" block if that key ("F") was already being held down. Also, there is nothing in the "else" statement.

I really don't know what you're trying to do with this script. If you don't find that analysis useful, you'll have to post more info.

DOUBLE POST OF SAME MEANING AT THE SAME TIME!

:o

We are SO brain-twins.

This script is basically supposed to be a BOF type fishing game.

Now the script works a little better, but it doesn't give the player time to hit the "f" key. It shows the text box, then teleports the player to the map that they came from.

Oh. You'll need to put a wait for key before the if, or, put it inside a while loop that loops around until F is hit or F is not being hit.

The if and then can be on separate lines. I think the WH script even does it. The problem is almost definitely with the keyispressed.

TH, please use the "code" tag to post your stuff. If Fyre hadn't reposted it, I would've ignored your post.

Try this instead of your if/then block:

How does this so called "code tag" work?

Bob the Hamster · Posted: Sun Sep 12, 2004 11:18 am Post subject: how to use the [code] tag

the code prevents the message board from eating your script's indentation, and puts it in a nice pretty box.

To do this, just put [code] before your script and [/code] after your script

[code]
  if(something)
  then, begin
    some
    stuff
    happens
    here
  end
[/code]

Okay, so that works. And I'm guessing that everything else is the same?
(Quote, Img, etc?)

wait, let me test it...
