It tells me that the end of input is reached in the middle of the expression....I'm sure it's simple, but I just can't wrap my brain around it...


//character attack------------------------------
if (Random (20)<(getstats(1,4)-(getstats(2,1){
  setstats (2,2,getstats(1,3)-Random (3));
  Display ("You swing and hit");
 
else if  (Random (20)>(getstats(1,4)-(getstats(2,1){
  setstats (2,2,getstats(1,3)-Random (3));
  Display ("You swing and miss");
}  

In an effort to nerdy up this place, I've gotta ask this question:

So, What was the hardest thing you ever you scrapped together in ags?

For me, it was probably DemonSlayer 3. It took me forever becuase I had to keep adding different variables to keep track of all the different states of the monsters. I had used FollowCharacter to make the bad guys keep coming at demonslayer, and for some reason, even when I sent them to another room after being shot, the bad guys would still appear in the room running at him....It took me at least a few days of trial and error on that one...

So, anybody else have any scripting storys?

Okay, I've heard about this whole array thing for a while and would like to learn some more. I work with this old dude that used to program with something called r-tran or something and he's pretty much laid out the concept for me. But I would'nt mind seeing an example of how they would be used in ags....

Now If I remember right, this isn't officially supported...and I think I heard once that if its done wrong it could screw up a game pretty bad...or maybe I'm retarded, who knows...

So anybody wanna show a quick little example?

[Pirate Fry 3: The Isle Of the Dead]

Pirate Fry 3: The Isle Of the Dead

Yep, I got sick of fry 2 for awhile and decided to move on to fry3....crazyness, I know
Anyway, heres a jpeged up picture from the game...




This game takes place right after the events that transpire in Fry 2, but the game dosen't carry over many plot elements from Fry2. So it, won't be confusing to all you people who haven't played Fry 2.

The Basic Idea
Fry Finds himself washed up on yet another Island after the events in Pirate Fry 2: The hand of Anturus. This island, known as the Island of the Dead, just happens to be a focal point for evil, undead activity.

Join Fry in his wacky adventures and once again save the day

Dumb question, but in the new versions of ags , under the use inventory condition, it dosen't have a spot to put the inv number....I can't find anything in the manual telling me how to do the new way...

In the old ags you would have a little box to put the inv number and then run script, where is it now?

------Edit-----------

Nevermind, Trapezoid helped me out...

So I was wondering if anybody had any tips for animating the water, and perhaps better colors for the sky and water. I like to use purpleish colors for night skys but it just looks ugly on this one....


Thanks everybody

Thats right, I'm sickly or something. I've been diagnosed with bronchitis again, having had it only a few months ago. What was wrong with me in between to make me feel like I'm just a loser when it comes to the immune system? I had pneumonia also this year....

Could this be the result of my mother smoking while pregnant with me, or a lifetime of living with smokers and sucking up that wonderful secondhand smoke? Or can I find something else to blame it on?

Someone tell me before I contract yet another fricking disease...

[all]

This time we need to do something different...hmmm...

1. It must be a member of some sort of "honourable" proffesion, carrying a sword or tuba....like a preist or something...
2. 200x200 max 20 colors....
3. Please, don't make fun of me for my crappy sprite jam idea...please....
4. Don't hit on my girlfreind...


Thats it, make sure you follow all the rules and have fun...

Okay, This is probably in the wrong forum, but here goes...

I can make a neat-o little flash web page, but I cannot for the life of me get it to work on the internet? So my question to all you flash guys is, how (and what) do you upload and where do you place it in your internet directorys and whatnot... I'm sure I'll have to elaborate on this as I'm probably being unclear...

Just wondering where everybody was at with all their projects....And how you feel about them.

It's a single level ags shooter. Starring a bunch of folks from here on the forums...

Don't expect too much...

First off, this is in no way a continuation of that locked thread earlier, and I beg everyone not to continue to fight after me.
I feel this needs said and it's meant as an apology. and as I posted openly to critise him earlier (instead of pming like I should have) I'll post this here also...


So, here goes:

I hate fighting...and as pearl jam says, if you hate something, don't you do it too...

I've added to the general bad feeling of these forums, and for that I apologize. I also would like to apologize to Darth, I've acted rashly, out of simple irratation.
And I don't feel like darth is on my "shit list" either. I was just angry at earlier things, little things of no consequence really.

Can't really think of much more to elaborate on.

I can't remember how to do this, but I want to just add a ++ to my global variable, not set it....

Anybody wanna drop me a line on this one, because sadly I've forgotten...

Yep, I'm "attempting" a quick little mittens based mags game, and I figured it would be easier to just ask here:

Who, of the peeps that are going to mittens is cool with me using their likeness in my game?

I got this e-mail tonight? is this some kind of joke going around?

Bah! I don't even look at porn! what is this crap?!

Heres the aforementioned idea:

Y'know all those games clogging up the games in productions board? Go check it out. If you see a game you really like, send the creator an e-mail and tell him that your waiting for it and your a fan yadda yadda....

And if you play a game, any game, send the creator a message about your thoughts on the game. This may bother some people, but I think most of us here would appreciate a little feedback from the community...

I'm gonna go write one for Ace quest 2....

Heres a little piece of concept art from my next scheduled game (after fry 2)...

Okay, so I copped out on the sky, and got a little crazy with the highlights on the roof, but besides that...whattaya think? Does this style work?

I plan on having some more stuff going on in the completed real bg, like more ruins and junk and crap...So, Anyway, I would love for any opinions on this...

and heres a simple alien concept pic...

So, maybe until then we can all just draw crap and put it here....The best drawing will get absoulutley no prize whatsoever...just show me what you got...

I haven't been following the new ags releases, but I've been seeing this mentioned: Regions, what are they? is it just a fancy word for hotspot?
Thanks for answering my dumb question...

Whelp, I finally Finished this damn "Short game" I've been piddling with this since the may MAGS comp, I like it....mostly...

It's about 25 rooms of DemonSlayer goodness....
