He means "Rogue"-like, and yeah, it's possible if you try a modified version of Moogle1's World Creator script. If I had time I could probably tell you exactly how to modify it, but I don't have that time, and Cube could probably explain it better than I could anyway. Oookay...

I haven't got a clue what a Rouge is but i'll wing it anyway...

if you want to make a 100% random map passible then you don't want to just create continents all over the place. The best thing to do is to create a series of squenced random paramiters that don't look too obvoius.
what that means in english is: define the map into 'slices' create the first path tile at the tile at the door, then create the next path tile foward 1 tile but never beyond 1 tile to the left or right, then create the next path tile using the same process. repeat this until the slices if the map are filled.

you should get a completely random path, but the player can't walk diagonals so place another path tile in one space in each direction of all the randomly placed tiles... that way you can have a nice wide path.
note: place a surplus rim of wall or sea tiles around the map incase the extra path tiles try and place themselves of the map.

and there you have it: a random, winding path that is accessible, if you set the script as an autorun script then every time you head along the path, it will be more than likely different than the previous one.

I think he said he already had a random map script.

But I've never played Rogue either. What exactly do you want?

well there are no battles(you attack enemys by activating them)and lots of menus and little grafics with no animation any way heres some of the script to give you an idea:

script, turnsmap0, begin
while (current map == 0) do, begin #edit for map no.
if (hero is walking (me)) then (resume npcs) else (suspend npcs)
wait (1)
end
end
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
script,playerflowctrl,begin

if(heroiswalking(me)==true)then(wait(20),suspendplayer,wait(20)
if(suspendplayer==true)then(wait(20),resumeplayer,wait(20))
end
end

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
script,exeperence1,who,begin

if(destroynpc(who)==true)then( setvariable(experence,experence+1))
if(destroynpc(who)==true)then(showtextbox(2))
if(readglobal(1),>>,10)then( setvariable(herohp,herohp+10))
if(readglobal(1),>>,20)then( setvariable(herohp,herohp+30))
if(readglobal(1),>>,30)then( setvariable(herohp,herohp+50))
if(readglobal(1),>>,10)then(showtextbox(1))
if(readglobal(1),>>,20)then(showtextbox(1))
if(readglobal(1),>>,30)then(showtextbox(1))

end
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
script,enemyHpandatt,who,begin

if(useNPC(who)==true)then(resume npcs,setvariable(enemyHP1,enemyHP1--1),setvariable(herohp,herohp--1)suspendNpcs)
if(readglobal(5),>>,0)then(destroyNPC(who),writeglobal(1,readglobal(5)+10))
end

#destoryNPC(who)==true will always be false so I need some way around #this . All that works is the turns script

You can't use
suspendplayer==true
and
useNPC(who)==true

because suspend player and use NPC are not functions, they are just statements.

All, I see little point in checking whether the player is suspended (if you could anyway) when you just did.

You could probably work around destroynpc() returning false by writing your own autonumbered function involving destroynpc() and having the function return true or false.

Do you want it to check whether npc [who] exists, and if so destroy it and return true?
Or do you want to check whether its already dead?

Case one:
