I think this script will help, you were rambling a bit.

yo i tried the script but it says this when i compile it:

[Setu_Firestorm]

You told it that there are 4 arguments, but you only identified one of them.

so if i identify all 4 arguments wat numbers should i put, the heros x number,heros y number,the heros direction,and npcs number,or wat numbers should i put:idea:

[Setu_Firestorm]

That's where I'm lost. I don't normally use arguments. I just know that fact from plotscripting tutorials. That's something either Cube or James would know.

Or Blazes, but I haven't seen him around in a while.

define script  (autonumber,npcplace,4,0)

should be:

define script  (autonumber,npcplace,4,0,0,0,0)

The first number in the definition is just saying how many arguments you're going to have. The other 4 are the default values of them.

Also, in the script DemocraticAnarchist posted, the if statements are completely wrong. Firstly, the conditions in the if statements are missing brackets around them. (ex: if (direction==left) ). Also, as you can see in that example, there are TWO equal signs. One will do nothing. Next, after the condition a "then" is missing. Ex:

if (direction == left) then (
commands that do stuff
)

Finally, the OHRRPGCE does not support "else if" statements. You can only have one "then" and one "else" (Or none at all) per if statement. But because the direction can only be one or the other, just take out the else word and it should work fine.

heres wat im trying to make the npc do,the hero gose in the vehicle which is 2 npcs long (ex: |npc3||hero1| ) a tag is checked,if on and the hero is walking left then the npc follows him left , if the hero turns right then the npc changes direction and is positioned behind the hero and then starts following the hero right, if the hero turns up then the npc changes direction and then follows the hero up,if he turns down the same thing, so this is the script changed, i hacked some stuff off from the other script,it compiles and makes the npc position behind the hero but when u walk around it makes the npc looks like if its being destroyed and created behind the hero, could some 1 help me so i can make the npc walk along with the hero smoothly,thankz a lot for the help

Forgive my curiousity but wouldn't that movement look 'blocky' when
changing direction, i.e. round corners and the like.

*Ph's advice* stick in a mid frame, think both sprites at a 45 degree angle. (which of course takes four 20x20 pictures up) but it would make it stand out from the rest.

Hello! I am the one who has posted the message at the hamster republic message board. I am very interested by the script posted by Serg.

I tryed to use it but I don't understand well how to use it. Could somoene give me explanations and tell me to use this plostcript ?

1) What are the pre-requierement to make the script working ?
2) Shall the npc that is going to follow us run the plostcript or an invisible "step on" Npc ?
3) What is the check tag command for ? To make active or unactive the script that make the npc able to follow the hero (so that the hero is not always with a npc all the time) ?
4) So that I can do as less mistakes as possible could someone post a detailed guidelines with detailed step so that I can also use this script.


Thank you very much in advance for the help!

These scripts are messed up. If you're looking for a script to make NPCs follow you, you could use the default "follows you" movement type.

If that's not what you're looking for, I believe OHRRPGCE Tactics has a follow-script somewhere in the enemy movement AI. (It's on the gamelist and the scriptfile is included.)

It's ok I managed to make a plotscript that makes follows the hero from a plotscript that had been posted here. I am going to post it on the FAQ website of the hamster republic: I am sure that many people are going to be interested by this!

[chris98]

This could be handy for a fan game of star ocean 3, playing as

(SPOILERS)

Flad, where the npc following you is Maria Traydor, keeping Flad in existence with the alteration gene. This would be required as Flad would not be a logged on player, He would still be a 4D being in a 3D world, he would use the terminal in Gemity to transport in and out of the Eternal Sphere.

For the one who are interested to make their heroe followed an Npc by a hero, I post a script on the Faq wiki website of the hamster republic at

http://gilgamesh.dnsalias.org:8080/wiki/ohrrpgce/index.php/How_do_I_make_one%2C_two%2C_or_three_NPCs_follow_the_hero%3F

It's called How do I make one, two, or three heroes following you.
It's a efficient on key is pressed script that don't make the game low and that make believe the npc is an hero.

Thanks for positing the informations on that forum. Without them I couldn't have make my plotscript.
