Tnks! It was so simple that I don't know why I didn't tnk of it myself.

Im using mostly 96x96 sprites. Can anyone suggest any sites with a collection of downloadable sprites? I'm looking for character and monster sprites with full animation bitmaps. By full animation, i don't mean little video animations. I just mean pics that when linked togeather in AGS will form a uninturpted animation. I could also really use building bitmaps as well. Any suggestions would be apprceated.

The following is my setup for battles using global int.

Code: ags

  SetGlobalInt(1, 50); //Health 
  SetGlobalInt(2, 0); //Mana
  SetGlobalInt(3, 0); //Exp
  SetGlobalInt(4, 1); //Level
  SetGlobalInt(5, 100); //Town gaurd 1 health.
  SetGlobalInt(6, 15); //Charcater attack
  SetGlobalInt(7, 20); //Town gaurd 1 attack

This is how I set up a GUI to show your health. I did the same with the opponets.

Code: ags

function Health1_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  Display("You have %d HP remaining",GetGlobalInt(1));
}

My question is, how do I subtract the value of int 7 from int 1? like wise with int 6 from int 5.
Is there a line of script to take the value of one int from another? The only thing I can come up with is this:

Code: ags

  SetGlobalInt(1, GetGlobalInt(1)-20); //Deals atk damage from opponets attack.

While I already know that will work, It will take alot of typing in the long run. Is there another way?

I'm not sure if this would be a basic scripting question, but here goes.
In the dynamic help when i looked up info on global int, it said they were obsoulete and I should consider  global vairables instead. Problem is, I tell well enough how to use them, but doesn't go into great detail on how to 'create' them, nor does it give an example line of script on thier creation; only on thier use. Any help?

Okay, thanks.

That worked! I changed it to the word test and is went through. Now i just nedd to ask if I can put multiple Else if statments.

If //something
else if //do this
else if //do this
else if //do this
else //do this

Is this how i'd plan what would happen when i use higher than random(2)?

Does that mean that I need to create the outcome for each possibility? I would like for it to say something like "you missed" on all but 1 or 2 outcomes, and both of those would score a hit, would notify you, and would deal the damage using global int.
I haven't named anything even remotely close to "run" if thats what u meant. I name things Like oBed1, oBed2, and so on, but nothing is close to one of the command lines like Random.

If I can't use random, is there anyway to use Global int to acheive the same function?

I did place it inside a function. this is what I have im my globalscript.

function Defend1_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  Random(2);
}

I can't add the "int" before the word random nore anything after it. If I do when I hit F5 it calls it an error. Each time I try to type the word "Run" in the line "(run==0)" the game gives me the option to use the line Random. If I just ignore it an click the = sign, it completes the word anyway. If i simply paste the code on there it errors out.

I am making a battle system for my game and i plan to use the random function to decided weather of not stepping on a hotspot will trigger a battle and transport to another room. I also want to use in a GUI I made so if you press the attack button there is a random chance that you will score a hit; likewise with defense. My problem is, all I can find in the manual and what little I can find in the forums say to use scripts like

int ran=Random(2);
if (ran==0) cEgo.ChangeRoom(1);
else if (ran==1) cEgo.ChangeRoom(2);
else cEgo.ChangeRoom(3);

Problem with that is the scripting "(ran==0) errors out. "ran" is not acceptable, nor will the statement work with out it. Can anyone help? I'm using AGS version 3.1.2

I have already figured out how to animate a character in the background (someone rocking in a rocking chair) but what I can't seem to figure out is how to make something move around randomly (like and animal) so that it will walk around nonstop. I can't find anything on how to do this either. Is it doable? Can anyone help with some scripting code that would do this?

I am making a rpg and soon I will need some type of battle system. I have downloaded a random dice roller and I think I could combine it with some simple if, else if and if statements, but I wonder is there a way to do away with the dice roller program, and just add more scripting to occomplish the same ends.
Oh yeah, I would like a final fantasy type of battle system.

Is it possible to use an inventory item on something, then have it removed from the invetory?
For example, I have an egg in my invetory, but when I have it to hatch, it wouldn't do for the creature from the egg to be there but the egg still in my inventory. Or if I use a health potion, how can I remove it from the inventory so it can't be used over and over? I have looked all over the manual, and tried a bunch of searches on this site, but I can't seem to find anything thah helps
