It cant attack me o.0

[mousemat]

Hi....I am making an RPG and its not going well.
I can attack the oponent but the opponent can't attack me!!
Do you have to make another score Gui if yes ..how, If not then how do you make it so it canh attack you?

Thanks for any help,
Mousemat

Um... what you actualy have done so far? What have you scripted for the player attacking, and what for the opponent attacking back?

[Hellomoto]

Depending on what you are creating, this could take a lot of AI, especially if you want the computer to have a fighting chance.

You would have to be more detailed in your description of what you are doing.

[mousemat]

Ok its going to be like a pokemon kinda battle..hope that explains it..i am trying also to find a way of making somthing like this with little scripting..and its working apart from the opponent attacking
Also i would like to know if it is possibly to have a counting down timer clock thing for my sunrider game?

[BorisZ]

Create attacking animation, set random variable and if that random variable is set to number you want, decrease your hit points.

[mousemat]

Then i need 2 guis swith @score@ on ... how do you do that so they both don't show the same no. of hits?

[Ashen]

what does the score have to do with it? And why would you need 2 GUIs?
Would one be the character HP, and the other the enemy?
If so, try using a GlobalInt to store one of the HP values, and use @GIx@ (where x is the number of the GlobalInt) instead of @score@ on one GUI.

And about the countdown timer, checkout strazer's second bit of code in THIS THREAD.

[Ishmael]

I think the @GIx@ tag don't work on GUI labels, only on displayed messages... or atleast used to in an older version...

[mousemat]

also i would like to know how to make some thing like a clock that counts down .... If that is possible

[Ashen]

Oh bum, Ishmael's right. You'd have to use:

Code: ags

// in 'Repeatedly Execute'
Ã,  string hp;
Ã,  StrFormat (hp, "%d", GetGlobalInt (1));
Ã,  SetLabelText (0, 1, hp); // or whatever GUI/Object you're using

Which means it's probably as easy to create a custom int.

Was the countdown link in my last post no use, then?

[mousemat]

Sorry didn't notice your last post..just gonna check it out now

Oooh i will try that after school thanks

and i will try out that hp thing!!

[poc301]

I haven't used the repeatedly execute yet, but doesn't that stop all other processes until it finishes?

[Mousmat ofline]

er Countdown dosent do anything....what else do i have to program to get it working?

[Ashen]

What have you got so far? How is it not working - not counting down, starting from wrong time, not displaying, generating an error, just not doing anything?

[mousemat]

It is not counting down. it just comes up with:
00
00

[Ashen]

Will the game still time out when you want it to (i.e it's just the display that's not working), or is the clock not working at all?

Either way, can you post your repeatedly_execute code.

[mousemat]

Why is it that every time i edit the script there is always an undifined token

[Gilbert]

Probably you had mispelt a function/variable name, or forgotten to define a variable.
Can you post your script here for us to check?
