I'm certainly the last person on this forum who can give advice.

But a single boolean could make the difference..

Code: ags

bool on_ground = true;

Ciao Crimson Wizard, Grazie Mille !

You Are Kind As Usual. The conversion part and rest it was really substantial aid.

Still Thank You for being available to answer, and I hope you can spend a good day.

[GetViewportX ()]

Good Evening To All Agser,

Noob Question, As Usual.

I re-searched the forum about this question, and I found a lot of answers about.
I searched in the manual also and I focused the solution.
But I'm not managing to make it work at all. GetViewportX ()
If mouse move to right or left side 'of the screen' and left click mouse is pushed,
if facing right player can shoot with his gun, and viceversa.
In a Room of 640x480, it's okay.
Now, i changed the room in a 2500x800, and i can't make it to work at all.

Here's the code that i have now :

Code: ags

void on_mouse_click (MouseButton button) 
{
  ///////////////// Right Side /////////////////////
  if (button == eMouseLeft && FacingRight) 
  {
    if (mouse.x > player.x) //640x480 it's okay here
    {
    Fire(true, false); //right
    }
  }
  ///////////////// Left Side /////////////////////
  if (button == eMouseLeft && FacingLeft)
  {
    if (mouse.x < player.x ) //640x480 it's okay here
    {
    Fire(false, true); //left
    }
  }
}

I hope for anyone who knows how to do here.
above all, I hope no one is offended by reading this post..

Thank you very much, Crimson Wizard, for giving me this vital aid.
I'm still a good noob, and this suggestion will make me start to improve better this terrible script...

Still, Thank you again

Good Evening To All AGSer.

I have a terrible script that should be cleaned up quite a bit.
I just wrote an idea of what I would do... and apparently works well...
It's what I would do, but when I run the battle, my pc go in slow motion..
I certainly know because the script is not very readable in itself.
This happens to me quite often when I put a function repeatedly.

Code: ags

int time, firstcounter,  secondcounter, thirdcounter, fourcounter, fivecounter, sixcounter, sevencounter, eightcounter, 
    ninecounter, tencounter;

bool pushed, released;

  { 
    int i = 0;
    while (i<NumeriCasuali(4, 6)){ time ++; i++;}          
    if (time > 5) { gTarget.BackgroundGraphic = 3; firstcounter = NumeriCasuali(1, 5);  }
    //why if i use 'else if' doesn't work ?!
    if (time > 15) { gTarget.BackgroundGraphic = 4; secondcounter = NumeriCasuali(6, 15); }
    if (time > 30) { gTarget.BackgroundGraphic = 5; thirdcounter = NumeriCasuali(16, 30); }

Someone could help me to clean up this terrible script ? ,(
and thanks in advance for your patience, also for reading this message post...

coordial greetings

I cannot find fair words to thank you and for your patience too.

I'm not even a religious man
(i don't know about you)
But God must bless you.
You are a Great Master.

Thank you again
For giving me this help, I appreciated

Cordial greetings

Hello Guys, I'm really sorry for bothering you again
I would like to generate the similar Function or Int "NumeriCasuali" in Float numbers..

Code: ags

float RandomFloat(float min, float max) 
{ 
  if (min == max) return min; // same value, only one possible result
  if (min > max) return RandomFloat(max, min); // min and max reversed, swap them out
  return (min + Random(FloatToInt(max)-FloatToInt(min))); //type mismatch: cannot convert 'float' to 'int' 
}

How to do that ?

Many thanks monkey_05_06 for giving a helping hand, gracious

Exactly ! I just noticed a huge mistake on my part watching again the room script.
It's relatively funny because I wrote explicitly that my integer firstcounter = 0;

Code: ags

bool pushed, released;
int time, firstcounter;

function room_RepExec()
{   
  if (time > 5) { gTarget.BackgroundGraphic = 3; firstcounter = NumeriCasuali(1, 5); }

  else if (released && time > 120)
   { 
      firstcounter = 0; // Why The Hell... !!?
      Labelcounter.Text = "Time Out";
      Labelhit.Text = "You Failed";
      gTarget.BackgroundGraphic = 2;
      time = 0;
   }
   Labelinfo.Text = String.Format("%d %", time);
   time ++;
}

Thanks Khris for the clarification and suggestion.
Cordial greetings

Ciao Khris, Thank you very much for response.

So; Random(2) + 1 it will never return 0 !
i was wondering to create a function similar to the Random one in AGS, with the difference that never returns to 0.

Code: ags

function NumeriCasuali(int minimo, int massimo) //int min, int max
{ 
  return (minimo + Random(massimo - minimo)); //wrong
}

the function apparently works well, but after some time, it happened that it returns to zero again.
how can I do to avoid this ?

Good evening to all AGSer.
I can feel a slight fright in asking this silly question and I apologize in ahead for this has been asked.
Because it looks so basic notion.

Referring to the (Random Function) into the manual says:
Returns a random number between 0 and MAX.
NOTE: The range returned is inclusive - ie. if you do Random(3); then it can return 0, 1, 2 or 3.

So the question was;
How do i do a random function that never return 0 ?
ie. if i do Random(3); then it can return 1, 2 or 3.

Still deeply sorry for asking this, thanks guys in advance.

GlobalScript.asc(221): Error (line 221): Nested functions not supported (you may have forgotten a closing brace)

Code: ags

function on_mouse_click(MouseButton button) {
  // called when a mouse button is clicked. button is either LEFT or RIGHT
  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) {
    // Game is paused, so do nothing (ie. don't allow mouse click)
  }
}

Ciao CaptainD, Grazie

I really enjoyed this world cup predictions
Thanks to Stupot+ for organizing. It was really exciting !


GERMANY WORLD CHAMPION   


Hurraaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh here also are celebrating, God can strike me if i can understand the reason...
Anyway, Congratulations To The Germans
