 Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2007 9:02 pm Post subject: Use the information given by hero by slot |
 |
|
I'm currently working on the battle system of Saiyuki game.
I would like know for a given hero, what is position in the active party indeed so that the fated guys can appear on the right order (the position choosen by the player) on the battlefield.
I've checked the plotscript dictionnary and find out
| Code: |
hero by slot (where)
|
I've made some test and it appears that
| Code: |
hero by slot (0)
hero by slot (1)
hero by slot (2)
hero by slot (3)
|
is a possible way of using the command. Could somoene tell me it's the
right one?
The only thing that left how to manipulate the data next.
How shall I put in plotscript language, if hero in slot 1 is Sanzo then, create npc 1 at 4, 5
As always thank you very much fo your help!

That would be correct.
You would have something like this
| Code: |
If(herobyslot(0)==0)then(
#put hero code here
)
#repeat the above code as much as needed
|
if you know how to use yourgame.hsi then you can do this
| Code: |
If(herobyslot(0)==hero:mario)then( #assuming mario is hero number 0
#put hero code here
)
#repeat the above code as much as needed
|
If you read the plotdictionary you would notice that if the given slot is empty, herobyslot would return -1.
If you do not know how to use hsi files then let me know, I will try to explain it to you.

Ok! I've made some tests and when the battle starts; no hero appears.
This is due to a wrong use of the command "hero by slot".
Indeed the command return the number of the hero stored in the hsi file, and I've used a variable to store it but, no at the end no npcs are created. Here is the version of the script
| Code: |
script, in battle, begin
suspend player
suspend npcs
suspend caterpillar
fade screen out ( 255, 255, 255)
set hero picture (me, 17) # main hero became the cursor
set hero palette (me, 1)
set variable (hero 0, hero by slot (0))
set variable (hero 1, hero by slot (1))
set variable (hero 2, hero by slot (2))
set variable (hero 3, hero by slot (3))
if (hero 0 ==hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
create npc (0, 7, 6) #npc 0 is Sanzo
wait for npc (0)
end, else, begin
if (hero 0 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
create npc (1, 7, 6) #npc 1 is Gojyo
wait for npc (1)
end, else, begin
if (hero 0 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
create npc (2, 7, 6) #npc 2 is Hakkai
wait for npc (2)
end, else, begin
if (hero 0 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
create npc (3, 7, 6) #npc 3 is Son Goku
wait for npc (3)
end
end
end
end
if (hero 1 == hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
create npc (0, 7, 7) #npc 0 is Sanzo
set npc position (0, west)
wait for npc (0)
end, else, begin
if (hero 1 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
create npc (1, 7, 7) #npc 1 is Gojyo
set npc position (1, west)
wait for npc (1)
end, else, begin
if (hero 1 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
create npc (2, 7, 7) #npc 2 is Hakkai
set npc position (2, west)
wait for npc (2)
end, else, begin
if (hero 1 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
create npc (3, 7, 7) #npc 3 is Son Goku
set npc position (3, west)
wait for npc (3)
end
end
end
end
if (hero 2 ==hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
create npc (0, 7, 8) #npc 0 is Sanzo
wait for npc (0)
end, else, begin
if (hero 2 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
create npc (1, 7, 8) #npc 1 is Gojyo
wait for npc (1)
end, else, begin
if (hero 2 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
create npc (2, 7, 8) #npc 2 is Hakkai
wait for npc (2)
end, else, begin
if (hero 2 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
create npc (3, 7, 8) #npc 3 is Son Goku
wait for npc (3)
end
end
end
end
if (hero 3 ==hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
create npc (0, 7, 9) #npc 0 is Sanzo
wait for npc (0)
end, else, begin
if (hero 3 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
create npc (1, 7, 9) #npc 1 is Gojyo
wait for npc (1)
end, else, begin
if (hero 3 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
create npc (2, 7, 9) #npc 2 is Hakkai
wait for npc (2)
end, else, begin
if (hero 3 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
create npc (3, 7, 9) #npc 3 is Son Goku
wait for npc (3)
end
end
end
end
set hero picture (hero: Hakkai, 0)# all other heroes became invisible
set hero picture (hero: Goku, 0)
set hero picture (hero: Sha Gojyo, 0)
teleport to map (15, 14, 83)
fade screen in # the battle can start from now on
resume caterpillar
resume player
resume npcs
end #end of plotscript
|
As always thanks very much for help and suggestions!

The teleport to map command should occur BEFORE all of the NPC making. Right now, you are making the NPCs on the original map, and they are getting thrown away as soon as the player is teleported to map 15. Other than that, this script looks correct, although I'm quite certain that there is probably a faster and cleaner way to do this. Still, you've got the idea.
Oh wait, just found something else. In your 'set hero picture' commands at the end, you should use 1, 2 and 3 instead of the hero names, I'm pretty sure. Just as you used 'me' earlier to designate slot zero to turn into a cursor.

| get rid of the "wait for NPC" commands. They are pointless. You only need "wait for NPC" for NPC movement, not for "create NPC" |

Yes that's true! The npcs are not moving in this script but put on the map.
I've deleted the command lines with "wait for npc" in it
| Quote: | | Are the hero's in the actual slots? |
Yes, the 4 Saiyuki boys are all in the current active party. A good proove of that is when they became invisible at the end of the script.
The goal of the script, I've posted is making an original battle system. I've started with a fade screen out and transformed hero:me into cursor.
Caterpillar is turned on and will be on nearly all along the game.
Then the script detects the order of the hero and make appear npcs
that look like the heroes (so that controls will be easier)
And then the hero are made invisible (a cursor followed by npcs
would be strange) before the play screen came back to normal.
I've also change the place of the teleport to map command so that
the npcs may be more likely to be created on map 15.
My problem is the following: when I test the script, no npcs appears at the
given x,y coordonates. What could be the explanation for that?
Thanks for answers and advices!

The first thing that comes to mind for me is that you have teleported to a place in the map far beyond where the npcs are being created. All of your create npc commands are making the NPCs appear around (7,8) or so in (x,y) coordinates, but you have teleported your hero (now a cursor) to (14,83). This is not even close, and since the camera is still following the hero (cursor), there is no way you could see your NPCs from over 70 tiles away.
Other than that, I would double check that the NPCs are correctly defined on map 15 in custom, not on the map where you started. Let us know if any of this helps.

I've made some more tests and adding some wait command make npc place on map but not at the right x,y coordonates.

I think it's the right thing to do. Could tell me how to double check npcs?

| Double-check NPCs by checking what numbers they have in the NPC editor on that map, then compare that with the numbers you're using in your script. |

After some tests, I've decided to change of strategy. Now the npcs are placed on map (with default walkabout) and when the battle starts hero by slot detecte the order and give the correct appearance
| Code: |
script, in battle, begin
suspend player
suspend npcs
suspend caterpillar
#fade screen out (255, 255, 255)
set hero picture (me, 17) # main hero became the cursor
set hero palette (me, 1)
teleport to map (15, 14, 83)
wait (15)
set variable (hero 0, hero by slot (0))
set variable (hero 1, hero by slot (1))
set variable (hero 2, hero by slot (2))
set variable (hero 3, hero by slot (3))
if (hero 0 ==hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
set npc position (0, west) #npc 0 is Sanzo
end, else, begin
if (hero 0 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
Alter NPC (0,NPCstat:picture,4) #npc 1 is Gojyo
Alter NPC (0,NPCstat:palette,3)
set npc position (0, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 0 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
Alter NPC (0,NPCstat:picture,5) #npc 2 is Hakkai
Alter NPC (0,NPCstat:palette,4)
set npc position (0, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 0 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
Alter NPC (0,NPCstat:picture,7) #npc 3 is Son Goku
Alter NPC (0,NPCstat:palette,7)
set npc position (0, west)
end
end
end
end
if (hero 1 == hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
Alter NPC (1, NPCstat:picture,6) #npc 0 is Sanzo
Alter NPC (1, NPCstat:palette,6)
set npc position (1, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 1 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
set npc position (1, west) #npc 1 is Gojyo
end, else, begin
if (hero 1 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
Alter NPC (1,NPCstat:picture,5) #npc 2 is Hakkai
Alter NPC (1,NPCstat:palette,4)
set npc position (1, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 1 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
Alter NPC (1 ,NPCstat:picture,7) #npc 3 is Son Goku
Alter NPC (1 ,NPCstat:palette,7)
set npc position (1, west)
end
end
end
end
if (hero 2 ==hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
Alter NPC (2,NPCstat:picture,6) #npc 0 is Sanzo
Alter NPC (2,NPCstat:palette,6)
set npc position (2, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 2 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
Alter NPC (2,NPCstat:picture,4) #npc 1 is Gojyo
Alter NPC (2,NPCstat:palette,3)
set npc position (2, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 2 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
set npc position (2, west) #npc 2 is Hakkai
end, else, begin
if (hero 2 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
Alter NPC (2,NPCstat:picture,7) #npc 3 is Son Goku
Alter NPC (2,NPCstat:palette,7)
set npc position (2, west)
end
end
end
end
if (hero 3 ==hero:sanzo sama) then, begin
Alter NPC (3,NPCstat:picture,6) #npc 0 is Sanzo
Alter NPC (3,NPCstat:palette,6)
set npc position (3, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 3 ==hero:Sha Gojyo) then, begin
Alter NPC (3,NPCstat:picture,4) #npc 1 is Gojyo
Alter NPC (3,NPCstat:palette,3)
set npc position (3, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 3 ==hero:Hakkai) then, begin
Alter NPC (3,NPCstat:picture,5) #npc 2 is Hakkai
Alter NPC (3,NPCstat:palette,4)
set npc position (3, west)
end, else, begin
if (hero 3 ==hero:Goku) then, begin
set npc position (3, west) #npc 3 is Son Goku
end
end
end
end
set hero picture (hero: Hakkai, 0)# all other heroes became invisible
set hero picture (hero: Goku, 0)
set hero picture (hero: Sha Gojyo, 0)
#fade screen in # screen came back to normal. The battle can start from now on.
resume caterpillar
resume player
resume npcs
end #end of the script
|
My problem is the following the npcs disappear as the script goes on. Would somoene had an idea to solve this problem?

"set hero picture" takes caterpillar position, not hero name.

It takes party position (find hero), not caterpillar position (rank in party) |

Oh, right.
You know, I've always felt the distinction between those three was the most confusing part of plotscripting. It would be *very nice* if there were some way to clear that up. I always have to refer to plotdict to know if I should be using hero:name, findhero, or rankinparty.
