Slime Salad

Thanks for the help. I had to change a couple of things but it works nicely. I'm hoping that after I get used to scripting for a while that I won't have to ask questions on so many things. I do appreciate the help though. I'm getting close to have the entire script file working as intended, which me...

Voting is closed. Thanks for the contributions, and look for the results in Hamsterspeak!

Also, you're writing it in a very strung out way. Using things like the for command could lessen the writing. But I'm not really one to criticize on this sort of thing, since I do it all the time myself. Dude, any suggestions on my writeup is much appreciated. I am anything but awesome at this stuf...

Hey guys, Hope you don't mind me posting this here, but I'm having a problem with part of The Hamster Wheel. I have a section that shows recently added titles in descending order, but it will not show things added in 2010: $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games ORDER BY file_timestamp...

Voting will end tonight as planned. I've received more than enough votes to make it fair, so the results will be released in this issue of Hamsterspeak.

You have about 18 hours left to vote, folks.

This is what I'm working with right now: plotscript,game,begin variable(playing) variable (mob1) variable (mob2) variable (mob3) variable (mob4) set variable(mob1,NPC reference(1,0)) set v...

I got it to work without having it triggered from an npc! Couldn't have done it without the help from both of you. I do still have one question though. Is there any way to figure out exactly how many copies of an npc are on each map and store it into variables? Also, would I be better off using diff...

well, this sort of thing becomes easier if you have obstruction suspended. Cause then you can wait till the npcs are on top of each other which is easier to check for. Which would be what you're seeming to want to do with your script there. That's what I was afraid of. I won't be able to leave obst...

Another scripting question... Let's say I create an NPC on a map, and another NPC touches the created npc. Is there any way to make the npc activate the script attached to the created npc or is that limited to heros only? Example script: plotscript,example,begin variable (posx) varia...

Figured that part out. Didn't declare the second coordinate for npc at spot so it wasn't working properly.

Thanks for the help. That did the trick. Now I am having a problem with a "knockback" idea. I intended for it to read the position of the hero, check where the npc was in reference to the hero, and push him back a tile, direction depending on the location of the npc. It doesn't seem to be ...

I'm trying to get myself back into plotscripting and not having much luck so far. I never have done really complicated scripts, but the ones used in my two games, especially Mikey T, made me proud. Sadly, I haven't scripted in over a year, and don't remember jack crap. Even the simplest things seem ...

Already received a decent amount of votes already. Very surprised at that. Keep them coming and I should be able to release the results in the upcoming issue of Hamsterspeak!
