[1 time question] Random battle script set up.

[Icey]

Hello all, Last time i asked a question how to save the location of a players current X,Y position in this topic: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=44123.0

Now that it's time to set up a random battle room I can]t seem to figure out some key things to make fully universal for the game. I know if I can get help to get this working all of my RPG problems are over seeing how this is that last part.

Here are some of the things I am trying to do

• Enemies
  -In the random battle room there is a object which will be used for the enemy. There is only one target in a battle at a time. I have this code in my before room loads section.
  

  Code: ags

  
  function room_Load()
  {
    
    
    battleBG.SetPosition(0, 0);//Incase I end up moving it on an accident in the editor
  battleBG.Clickable = false;//To ensure that the player can't click on it.
  
  if(player.PreviousRoom == 23){//Checks for the last room the player came from
    battleBG.Graphic = 296;//Change the randomroom background so that it fits the setting of the previous room.
  //
  //
  //
  //
  //
  }
  }
  

  
  I would like to make a randomized selection so that a random so that the game will choose a sprite that ranges from 104 - 107. Those two numbers a examples of sprites in the game that contain a Monster Graphic.
  
• Attacks
  -I have a separate script to hold each monster attack. I would like to make each attack into a script command so that I could just have the game check for the current sprite slot on the obj so that it performs the attack based on the graphic(monster).

Code: ags

  battleBG.Graphic = Random(3) + 104;

To get the graphic of an object in the global script, use the object array. If your monster object's ID is 2, use object[2].

Code: ags

function Attack() {

  int og = object[2].Graphic;

  if (og == 23) {

    ...
  }
  else if (og == 24) {
  
    ...
  }
  ...
}

(oh, and: really? after all this time, you still ask simple, basic questions like this...?)

if I can get help to get this working all of my RPG problems are over

I'll believe that when I see it.

[Icey]

Simple yes but I once I learn it then I won't ask it anymore.

Maybe I should post the code of a different battle room. It is where I will be getting everything from so i can past most it into the 1 random battle room.

Code: ags

function jkboss_UseInv()
{
  if (playerHP <=0) {
    playerMP += 2;
    if(playerMP <= baseMp){
      playerMP = baseMp;
    }
  }
  
if (cEgo.ActiveInventory == card1){
  dennis.Say("Heavy attack!");
  dennis.Walk(259, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
  dennis.Walk(265, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
  ShakeScreen(1);
  
   Label17.Text = String.Format("-%d", Stealedge);
  HP_indicator.Transparency = 100;
  HP_indicator.SetPosition(55, 124);
  HP_indicator.TweenTransparency(0.2, 0, eLinearTween, eNoBlockTween);
  HP_indicator.TweenPosition(0.6, 55, 120, eLinearTween, eBlockTween);
  HP_indicator.TweenTransparency(0.2, 100, eLinearTween, eBlockTween);
  
  BossHp -= Stealedge;
 GiveScore(1);
 PlayerEXP += 1;
 //Start building Soul Limit
}

if (cEgo.ActiveInventory == card17){
//create list of Soul limits [X]
//create GUI with list [X]
//Have game check which limit is selected
//Start limit animation & say name of limit


 
 
 if(SLgraphic.NormalGraphic == 91){//Checks for the current sprite slot on the soul limit board.
 dennis.Say("Triple Blade!");
  dennis.Walk(259, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
  dennis.Walk(265, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
  dennis.Walk(259, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
  dennis.Walk(265, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
  dennis.Walk(259, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
  dennis.Walk(265, 192, eBlock, eAnywhere);
 
 Label17.Text = String.Format("-%d", tripleblade);
  HP_indicator.Transparency = 100;
  HP_indicator.SetPosition(55, 124);
  HP_indicator.TweenTransparency(0.2, 0, eLinearTween, eNoBlockTween);
  HP_indicator.TweenPosition(0.6, 55, 120, eLinearTween, eBlockTween);
  HP_indicator.TweenTransparency(0.2, 100, eLinearTween, eBlockTween);
  
 
  BossHp -= tripleblade;
 GiveScore(3);
 PlayerEXP += 3;
 ATBbar.Animate(9, 1, 2, eRepeat);
 SetTimer(1, 50);
 }
 
 cEgo.LoseInventory(card17);
}


if(BossHp <=0){
  
  mouse.Visible = false;
  mouse.DisableMode(eModeUseinv);
  mouse.EnableMode(eModeWalkto);
  gStatusline.Visible = true;


HUD.TweenTransparency(0.5, 100);
HUD.Visible = false;
gGui2.TweenTransparency(0.5, 100);

gStatusline.TweenTransparency(0.5, 100);
gStatusline.Visible = false;

Winlogo.Transparency = 100;
Winlogo.Visible = true;
EpicWin.Play(eAudioPriorityHigh);
Winlogo.TweenTransparency(0.5, 0);
  Wait(240);
  Winlogo.TweenTransparency(0.5, 100);
  if(PlayerEXP >= BaseEXP){
    LV_up_show.Visible = true;

  jk.ChangeRoom(4, 107, 197);

  jk.Say("Well think again, You have courage but your spirit is not strong enough.");
  dennis.Say("Yes it is! I just...");
  jk.Say("Need more training? Well I have you coverd with that part.");
  jk.Say("As you spirit gets stronger so will you Dennis.");
  dennis.Say("I-I don't need a stronger spirit, I can do this myself.");

  playerHP -= 2;
  
  
  //playerHP -= 2;
 
}

if(playerHP <=0){

 dennis.Say("I have failed you master...");
 dennis.TweenTransparency(0.5, 100, eEaseInTween, eBlockTween);
dennis.ChangeRoom(0, 0, 0);


}

I just noticed that I that I have to change cego to Dennis and not only that but at the end of the battle I have to give Dennis the same commands that ego had.

}

Also I think I found away around the monster attack. There are only two types(land and flying).

[Icey]

I think I got it

Code: ags

// room script file
int enemyset0;


function room_Load()
{
  
  
  battleBG.SetPosition(0, 0);
battleBG.Clickable = false;
if(player.PreviousRoom == 23){
  battleBG.Graphic = 296;
  //Selection of enemy
  enemyset0=Random(3);
if (enemyset0==0){
  enemy.Graphic = ;
}
else if (enemyset0==1){
  enemy.Graphic = ;
}
else if (enemyset0==2){
  enemy.Graphic = ;
}
else if (enemyset0==3){
  enemy.Graphic = ;
}

}
