Hi ! Sorry to post a message again. I know I had sworn to do it but I think it is a important question:
Can we make really jump a hero ?
What do I mean by that ? Well I mean the aviability to go from (1(x),2(y) to 3(x), 2(Y) without beeing influenced by what is in 2(x), 2(Y) in particular if there is a hole.
Many rpgs are half rpg-plateform game. E.g Landstalker; Zelda...
Zelda is a special example but I think it would be good if we good make maps on which you can do as nearly many things as on Zelda's ,even if the engine can be limited sometimes.
If not I think it would be good to try to develop such abitilities...
Thanks for reading my umpteenth message and sorry for posting so many messages but I sincerly think it worths it!

set hero Z (who,Z)
Sets the Z location of the specified hero. The Z location is the number of pixels above the tile they are standing on. Useful for scripts where you want a hero to jump or levitate. |

That's not what he's really asking.
Yes, you can make it so your hero can jump small gaps... but it'll require a bit more plotscripting than you think.

Wait...
So you're trying to make a script with something like:
| Code: |
if(
Key is pressed (Spacebar)
)
then(
walk hero(me, up, 1)
walk hero (me, right, 1)
wait for hero (me)
walk hero (me, left, 1)
walk hero (me, down, 1)
wait for hero (me)
)
|
?
*In this example, your hero can only jump one tile high and one tile far. And, you can't turn backwards. If you wanted to jump both directions, you'd need to make a variable which is the same value as the direction that your hero is facing (Left or right)*
Edit: Forgot Code tag. |

Again, that's not what he's asking.
Here is a little script I wrote just now. I have tested it and it works, feel free to use it or ask questions about it.
| Code: |
define script (-1, jump forward, 0)
script, jump forward, begin
variable (i, walkx, walky, hx, hy, jump)
suspend player
if (hero direction(me) == north) then (walky := -4) #walk at normal speed north
if (hero direction(me) == south) then (walky := 4)
if (hero direction(me) == east) then (walkx := 4)
if (hero direction(me) == west) then (walkx := -4)
jump := -5
hx := hero pixel x(me)
hy := hero pixel y(me)
for (i, 0, 10) do (
put hero (me, hx, hy + jump)
hx := hero pixel x(me) + walkx
hy := hero pixel y(me) + walk y
jump += 1
wait
)
resume player
end
|
This will make the hero jump 16 pixels high. You can change this to 32 with
jump := -5 --> jump := -10
jump += 1 --> jump += 2
but besides that there's no easy way to change the jump height.
This does NOT actually check if the tile 2 tiles ahead can be stood on. You should call this script from another. For example, if tile 10 is a platform tile, this might be your on keypress script:
| Code: |
global variable(1, jumping)
define script(1, onkeypress, 0)
script, onkeypress, begin
#check if the player wants to jump
if (key is pressed(key: Z), and, jumping == false, and, hero is walking(me) == false) then (
variable (tilex, tiley)
tilex := hero x(me)
tiley := hero y(me)
if (hero direction(me) == north) then (tiley -= 2)
if (hero direction(me) == south) then (tiley += 2)
if (hero direction(me) == east) then (tilex += 2)
if (hero direction(me) == west) then (tilex -= 2)
#now check if they can jump to the tile 2 spaces ahead
if (readmapblock(tilex, tiley) == 10) then (
jumping := true
jump forward
jumping := false
)
)
end
|
You can use a tag instead of a global variable but you should have a check in there. Also feel free to change the key used (currently z to jump).
Now if you want to make it look good, you should draw a jumping walkabout for your hero, and change the hero's walkabout. |

Ok! Ive tested the following and it unfortunatelly doesn't make the jump effect .
It makes the hero going down on the diagonal. So be carefull if you use it!
Thanks the same to TwinHamster for posting it and trying to solve the problem!
Be carefull with the folllowing code!if(
Key is pressed (Spacebar)
)
then(
walk hero(me, up, 1)
walk hero (me, right, 1)
wait for hero (me)
walk hero (me, left, 1)
walk hero (me, down, 1)
wait for hero (me)
)
I think I will use the Mad Cacti code. It works very well. Thanks very much !
Shall I post it? I am sure that many people will be interested! Before I will add an alter command so that the hero really give the impression that he (or she) jump!
Thank once again to Mad Cacti and good luck to everyone in making your game! |
