Score problem..,

[PrimitiveUser]

Hey again  :, just like how you can have a if (player.activeinventory == bla blah blah.
with the else blah blah blah.

, can you have the score like that cause the score is the money in my game, and when you purchase a item,
if you dont have score/money then you cannot by something thats the else thingy.
can u do that tell me the code dont say rtfm and all the other crap, thanks  .

Header: I am not a mod. I do not wish to pretend to be one. If I come over too harsh, take it witch a pinch of salt.

primitiveuser- In order to "not get the crap", you should make an attempt to at least write down coherent questions. There's little sense saying "then you cannot do the else thingy". I think I understand what you want, but with such a lax mishmash of a post I feel not too inclined to answer. I fear others will think like me, too.

If you wish to use your score as "money" to do stuff, you can, obviously, write stuff like "do stuff, then more".

Is that the sort of answer you'd like to get?

But well:
If then else- a simple structure that allows you to do something when a condition is met, and something else when not. You can also "nest them", and they work with any value.

Code: ags

if (condition)
{
  // any code here
}
else
{
  // any code here
}

You can write these if then else statements into any interaction. Let's say you have an item to buy, then this would work:

Code: ags

if (player.score >= 100)
{
  player.Say("It's 100 coppers, but I can afford that!");
  player.addInventory(iSword);
  player.score-=100;
}
  else
{
  player.say("It's 100 coppers, I do not have that money!");
};

This allows your player to buy a sword item for 100 "score" IF he has a score of 100 or higher, and also makes him lose that amount of score. If the player hasn't got the score/money, he will say so, and not buy the item.

I can tell that your a complete ...

I shouldn't expect help from you anymore why? Because I've re-edited your crap you told me.., RTFM!

{
if (game.score >= 100)
{
  Display("You have purchased an Iron Axe.");
  player.AddInventory(iaxeiron);
  game.score-=100;
}

You really need to start reading up man.., But thanks for giving me the "IDEA," Lol.

So, tell me, I am a complete what? And try to use some proper words, lad. Try to act your age. By the way, that's spelled "you are", or "you're". Heh, newbies today.

And oh, yeah, thanks for editing my crap. I see I mistyped a command there. Now I wonder: Why did you, with your apparently vast knowledge of AGS, post in the first place? And what's that superfluous curly bracket for?

I'd love to let off some more steam, but I think I'd rather not bother. You showed me the light. I'll leave the forums right away and start life as a hermit.

Ok, that's enough. The minimum age on these forums is 16. If you are unable to act that age, please refrain from posting.

WTF? I mean WTF? primitive..rather evolve..Ghost has a huge fan base, and we're all bloodthirsty and villainous..and we eat cookies with milk as well!

[suicidal pencil]

Primitive, there is no need to be overly pedantic.

Now that we've chastised him, I think we should just move on.

[Dualnames]

that wasn't the point i think, but well Ghost was actually pretty kind and tried to be helpful instead of bragging. And primitive didn't respect that,

[PrimitiveUser]

Well, first of all we have many 17-year-old fast typers, and several of them can user proper grammar, even though English isn't their first language. No excuse, none at all, get it?

Im sorry ghost that you cannot script properly

Who are you to determine my scripting skills? He?

shudnt be a hermit

Apparently you have no sense of irony. Get that fixed, it helps a lot. And your punctuation too.

sorry all foe the trouble ill make sure ghost dusnt make mistakes and i did say thanks for the idea..................

Telling me I'm a complete... and fixing my crap... is not saying thanks, escpecially not with a crude LOL after it.

Make a game, then pipe up again.

Okay, that's it. Sorry, I know it's probably the wrong place, but this needed saying.

I'm out.

Alright, primitiveuser, listen to Pumaman, again. If you are unable to act mature enough and insist on being primitive so not post here, until you calm down a bit and are able to think before you post. (* Reaching the minimum age requirement is different from being able to act accordingly. We do have members who do not meet the age requirement but could act maturely.)
