Hello everyone! Merry christmas and happy new year!
I've started to work on the menu of my Saiyuki Game after a big pause and to implement it, I've got to decrement a global variable
Would somoene know how to do that?
The global variable is named nb nikuman
| Code: |
Global variable (58, nb nikuman)
set variable (nb nikuman, ???)
|
As always thanks a lot for your help!

Happy New Year and Christmas!
To decrement by 5:
| Code: | nb nikuman -= 5
OR
nb nikuman := nb nikuman -- 5
OR
decrement(nb nikuman, 5)
OR
set variable(nb nikuman, nb nikuman -- 5) |

|
|
I have a little problem switching between the sub menu of my menu
When the player esc he/ she opens menu 6 (the main menu)
If she/he press esc, he/she can go back to the main screen
If the player presses space and if menu 6 is opened he can choose between
item
accessories
formation
status
technics
puzzle
save
quit
For each choice he runs a script and open a menu
item (=> item menu script runs open item menu (menu2))
accessories (=> accessories menu script runs =>open item menu (menu19))
formation
status
technics
puzzle
save
quit
My problem is the following : when my item menu script is launched the item menu opened) and when the player press esc one time he/she manages to get to the step before (when there's only the main menu launched) but if she/he press esc a second time the player won't go back to the main screen.
What is really strange is that when the first part goes fine until you run the menu script : the player press esc, opened the main menu (menu 6) go to the menu map. At that precise time if I press esc I go back to the play screen but if I press space and run the item menu script then it's over. It became impossible to go back to the play screen no matter how much I press esc to leave.
I think my problem comes from script resting.
Any advice is welcomed!
Happy new year 2011 everybody!

By "back to the main screen" and "back to the play screen" do you mean exit the menu? You mentioned a "menu map": do you go to another map when opening the main menu?
Do you have a script listening for the ESC key (which launches the main menu)? If so, can you post it, and also the script that launches the item menu?
What bits do you have set on menu 6 and menu 2? Do they allow player control, scripts, and closing with ESC?

Yes that's what I mean
[quote="The Mad Cacti] You mentioned a "menu map": do you go to another map when opening the main menu?
[/quote]
Yes I do! The main menu appear after the hero have been teleported to map 18
Do you have a script listening for the ESC key (which launches the main menu)? If so, can you post it, and also the script that launches the item menu?

Here are the bisets
menu 2 (item menu)
bitsets on -> allow gameplay and scripts
-> no box
-> cancel button don't close menu
menu 6 (main menu)
bitsets on -> allow gameplay and scripts
-> suspend gameplay even if allowed
-> no box
-> cancel button don't close menu
The basic idea is to use the run-script ability of the menu to make run the menu and sub menu instead of recording the key the player presses and re-implementing everything (but I may be got the wrong idea...)
Thanks for your concern and your help!

| Code: | | if (top menu ==true) then, begin |
Should be | Code: | | if (top menu) then, begin |
You see, the fixed version is actually equivalent to "if (top menu <> false) then, begin" but NOT to what you wrote.
Some other comments about your scripts:
In the case(1) of "leave game menu", you have
| Code: | resume box advance
wait for text box |
but it looks like there isn't actually a textbox being displayed.
Also, your scripts contain a lot of unnecessary wait commands. I'm worried that if you press Esc at the wrong time, like while "item menu" is running, then the on-keypress script will interfere with the running script and break it. It would be a good idea to cause the on-keypress to do nothing, by adding a check to it. That's easier than figuring out how to make sure that it's safe to run them both at once:
| Code: | global variable (100, disable onkeypress)
plotscript, on keypress script, begin
if (disable onkeypress) then (exit script)
...
end
plotscript, game menu, begin
disable onkeypress := true
...
disable onkeypress := false
end
#and so on, for other scripts.
|
Your script "item menu" has the same name as a script command. In the future HSpeak will throw an error about this, and you will have to rename your script.
Also, you normally want to place "wait (1)" before "fade screen in"

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the script works well because it starts to make appear the previous menu state but before the end, Hspeak complains about
"invalid menu handle -1" call chain current script last onkeeyispressed
-> leave game menu
The problem may comes from the bad use of Top menu
Could you confirm that top menu should be used when there's only one menu poped up on the screen ?
What do you think about including the lines with the variable disable onkeypress inside the cases of the switch command (see above)
I've tried to see what happen when I press esc as I've launched item sub menu and it appears that the script runs and try to go back to leave the map and the game as if I've pressed on esc several times. (I was in a sub menu and just wanted to go back to the previous menu)
| Code: |
case (7) do, begin # go back to the main menu after leaving the use item
menu
disable onkeypress := true
fade screen out (0,0,0)
resume box advance
wait for text box
#variable (handle) #already defined : no need to add it variable needed to close the menu
handle:= find menu ID (8)
close menu (top menu)
wait (2)
open menu (2)#item menu pops up
$0="Items"
string from textbox (1, 53, 2) #text box 53 L2 is for menu names
show string at (1, 17, 21) # Sub menu name location
escape behaviour:= 1
wait (1)
resume npcs
resume player
fade screen in
disable onkeypress := false
end # end for the case

Thanks for your help and advice!

There are three places in "leave game menu" where you use "close menu". I don't know which one is throwing the error, but
| Code: | | close menu (top menu) |
will throw an error only if there is no menu open, and
| Code: | handle:= find menu ID (2)
open menu (6) #main menu pops up
wait (3)
close menu (handle) |
will throw an error if menu 2 was not open.
Also, I notice that you have several random extra lines like
| Code: | | handle:= find menu ID (8) |
which do nothing.
| Quote: | | What do you think about including the lines with the variable disable onkeypress inside the cases of the switch command (see above) |
That shouldn't make any difference. I don't see why you would want to, though.

Does that happen only if you press Esc while the item menu script is still setting up the menu?

I still have some little with the menu commands but it's better now.
I would like to check if a menu (let's say menu 2) is opened or not.
If it is opened, I would like to close it.
Could you please help me to say this in plotscript language?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Easy!
| Code: |
variable (handle)
handle := find menu id (2)
if (handle) then (close menu (handle))

When I test my script, menu 8 does not disappear whereas the others menu do. I wonder why
Here are the bitsets activated
allow gameplay and script
no box button does not close menu (I use plotscripting)
advance text box when close menu
I didn't modified the bitsets through plotscripting. Any ideas or advice about what I could do?
May be my script end too soon...

Which part of the script is the problem? Where are you trying to close menu 8? I can't work that out, and anyway you said that you had modified the scripts.

After some check I've discovered that the menu open because I wrongly used the open menu command.
I've improved the article about door linking. Fell free to correct it if there are still errors.

OK, good to hear.
Thanks. I'll read through the article later and make improvements.

|
|
I've made the first part and will make the second one with fake doors when I'll have free time.
I came up with another problem
I need to make appear text that will be updated on my menu. I intended first to use strings with the s{ } but it didn't work.
So I though about hero's name because the h{ } variable works with menu . Furthermore, there's plenty of free hero slots that I can use.
So here's the problem. Hero 11 is named unequipped.
I would like
->first to change the name of this hero to "gloves" THROUGH plotscriting. Nothing should appear on screen. Could you please show me with an exemple how to that ?
-> then save the new name so that when the player comes back, he sees gloves and not unequipped anymore. I think I'll need set variable and get hero name but I don't see very well how to combine them
Thanks for your help and good luck making your games!
