Can't @score@ be your HP? Or would the game end after your HP is full?

It's already so. I had been using @SCORE@ for HP. But I don't know what to do with the mana and exp. I want them to type on the GUI, too.

I think it's something like this (but with the right GlobalInts, and GUI / Label numbers, of course):

(in rep_ex)
string mana;
string exp;
StrFormat (mana, "%d", GetGlobalInt (2));
StrFormat (exp, "%d", GetGlobalInt (3));
SetLabelText (0, 1, mana);
SetLabelText (0, 2, exp);

And make two blank labels on the GUI.

Maybe trying multiple score?

Thank you, Ashen

It runs. Edwinxie, how can I script the multiple scores?

For the future, a feature of AGS I found that could help people in coding battle system stuff is this littel bit:

You can include a couple of variables into global (and local) messages. You do this by inserting special tokens into the message. When the message is displayed in the game, the engine replaces the token with its value:

token replaced by
@INx@ number of inventory item x that the player has
@GIx@ the current value of GlobalInt x (used with SetGlobalInt/GetGlobalInt)

Just a thought...

If you want to make an RPG without coding, i suggest using

rpgmaker 2000

or

rpgmaker 2003

NOTE, DONT and i mean DONT post for help in agsforum

This is the real cool thing about AGS, its so adaptable, you can even, with proper scripting knowledge, create an RPG with Crono Trigger-ish battles, where monsters walk around and stuff, or just about any type of battle system.

How about doing a label that says Mana and exp and to change them use SetLabelText?

mousemat · « **Reply #49 on:** 28 Aug 2004, 22:47 »

can i make a score go up and then when you reach a certain number the fight ends?
because i wanted to make a boxing rpg!

Ishmael · « **Reply #50 on:** 29 Aug 2004, 15:49 »

if (game.score) > ...and so on...

mousemat · « **Reply #51 on:** 29 Aug 2004, 20:12 »

hi everyone

i have a problem i can make my character atack the oponent but how do you make the oponent atack the my character?

Kinoko · « **Reply #52 on:** 30 Aug 2004, 16:56 »

What kind of battle system are you using? A little more3 detail needed before I can offer any help...

Gord10 · « **Reply #53 on:** 30 Aug 2004, 18:49 »

I hope it works

PlaySound(1);
Display("You hit your enemy.");
GiveScore(3);
if (game.score) >= 8 {
NewRoom(2); //Defeated enemy
}
if (game.score) < 8 {
SetGlobalInt (2, GetGlobalInt(2)+2); //GlobalInt 2 is your health
PlaySound(1);
Display("Your enemy hit you");

And you should add this to the repeatedly_execute
if (GetGlobalInt(2) <=0) { //Health is over
NewRoom(30); //The game over screen
}

Mr Jake · « **Reply #55 on:** 31 Aug 2004, 08:21 »

lmao
she means what type of battle system, turnbased, realtime etc.

mousemat · « **Reply #56 on:** 31 Aug 2004, 08:29 »

i would like to make an altime atck kind of one but it would be easier to do a turnbased one wouldnt it?

Mr Jake · « **Reply #57 on:** 31 Aug 2004, 08:31 »

maybe, the main problem is that alot of people that seem to be trying to make a battle system haven't discovered 'SetLabelText' and how to use ints effectivly

Ishmael · « **Reply #58 on:** 31 Aug 2004, 08:33 »

For a realtime battlesystem:

All you need is a randomizer for the enemy attack, the scripts for the player attack (like, attack when space is pressed etc), and make sure the actions are not blocking...

mousemat · « **Reply #59 on:** 31 Aug 2004, 08:36 »

how come there are no tutorials on making a basic rpg .
It would definitly come in handy.
