Slime Salad

@ Giz:

I would love to see an example of this. Anyone planning to enter next time has something to shoot for.

I'll ty to do my best ... or worst?!

http://up.picr.de/20792102rc.png I added a textbox for each attack. Apparently the right textboxes are shown, but the hero is leaving the screen and the animation that is supposed to be shown does not well, show up. Also, I fail to find what part of the script makes the hero move east. Is it gettin...

I made some screenshots: This is before the battle script. The fight is triggered by the NPC running the script. http://up.picr.de/20786577vs.png You are teleported to the battle map. And the menu shows up. http://up.picr.de/20786579ii.png (The Enemy-NPC is facing the wrong direction, but that dosen...

I have no textbox before the battle. I start the battle via NPC. And the menu does show up, just the if (selected menu item (BattleM) == Choice1) then etc. does not seem work. Also i could just add a longer wait before the battle or maybe some animation with sprites, ...

The error is gone :). Still, the game is stuck after the mrnu disappears, also the hero does not perform the action for the attack. Edit: Propably I forgot to turn off the close menu thing in the menu :-/ I'll check. So, had forgotten to set off the automatic trun off, I enabled the bitset "all...

That's right. I'm closing the menu after the choosing an item.
So, I'd have to manually close the menu in the script?

Thanks RMSephy! I added the wait for key (usekey) in front of the if-clauses block. The first time, nothing happed. I was suck in battle after the menu closed. The second time, I made sure to use enter when choosing an option and I got an error: Script Error! selectedmenuitem: invalid menu handle: -...

Hello, I need some scripting help with menus again. What should happpen: you choose an option from the menu and it is executed. What does happen: The hero imediatly turns right. The running option is always executed, regardless of what is choosen from the menu. I don't know if I'm either using the m...

I like this idea.
It sounds so motivating!
Will people report their monthly gamemaking and their progess somewhere?

What about unfinished games that were started in 2014: If I'd finish one, would that count for this project?

Sometimes - also because of reading this topic - I have the ideas of trying to start a magazine. But then I remind myself of all the daily have-to-do-stuff and the idea quietly disappears... These are those ideas: Before ever starting anything like this, it's good to have a large amount of backup ar...

Thanks Giz!
Now the script is compiling.

I do get an error when trying to start the script:
next menu item: invalid menu handle -1

So, I have to ask for help again.

It seems like I am not setting up a variable. PetM := 0 I renamed PetMenu to PetM, so the word menu isn't used, just in case that could cause trouble. I tried the script from Giz for setting a variable, and i tried this above from the plot scripting dictionary. I still get the error message....

Thanks for your answers.

When I try using the "PetMenu := open menu (3,0)" part, the compiler says it's not recognized. (Not a script, variable, etc.)
By writing it that way A := B, it would be clear that A is a variable, right?

I added the missing begin to else as well.

Hello! I'm wondering if it is possible to get the currently selected item from a menu. And not get it after it is choosen (that can be done by tags etc.), but just when it is selected. I'd like to have the player choose something and display all the options on the screen. The items are displayed as ...
