Deleting doorlinks from a map?

I'm messing with doors and just discovered that you can't delete doorlinks in the Link Doors... menu using the delete key or anything. That's a bit of a concern, especially if you made a bunch of doorlinks and then wanted to get rid of them. Is there something I'm missing here?

Topic: Embiggening a single hero?
Replies: 2

I think you could probably limit the embiggening to a specific hero ID by using an if then statement. Like do a for loop through your party member slots, and do "if hero ID == 2 then (embiggening stuff)" on each slot .

I'd type up a real example but work's been crazy. :(

I'm nearly done designing and tiling the overworld map, which will be 8x7 (56) screens big. Also started designing the layouts of the dungeons, of which there will be four. Things I still need to do: Fix the buggy damage knockback scripts (I'm seriously going to need help with this) Compose a few mu...

Honestly, I'm used to it too. But that's because I've been playing OHRRPGCE stuff off and on for about 18 years! My main concern is that even a lot of high quality work put into art assets and animations will still kind of be bottlenecked in terms of visual quality, due to choppy scrolling and anima...

In my opinion, having a low resolution and limited color palette is a two edged sword; it can be bad if you don't like working under limitations, but for others it's great for the creative process. The only thing holding this engine back in an objectively bad way is the framerate, combined with the ...

Topic: How do you show a global value in text slices?
Replies: 4

I guess I more meant is there a way to display global values via text slices in the slice collection editor, specifically. That way I don't have to script and manually position a string or text slice on the screen using Hamsterspeak, which would be fairly annoying. I'd like to do this to show the am...

Sweet, thanks! And yeah, that definitely needs to be documented better. Even a blurb in plotdict.xml under the #about-plotscript section would be great. Honestly I almost never read the help files on the wiki, should probably make an effort to read through it more though to avoid asking dumb questio...

A way to get the ref of the NPC who triggered a plotscript?

I'm running a plotscript for NPCs for things like health pickups and other powerups. But to have them spawn from dead enemies, I don't believe using onetime tags would be a suitable way to make them disappear since the onetimes are tied to the NPC ID, not the reference. So I was hoping there would b...

How do you show a global value in text slices?

I'm able to do things like ${V1} in text boxes to show the value of global variables, but how do you do the same thing with text slices? I want to show the value of a global in the slice collection editor, hopefully this is something that's doable. Otherwise I guess I can script text slices manually...

Quiet thread lately. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm at an uncertain point in development, where I'm not sure how to pare down the game to where it'll still be fun to play but not overloaded with half baked ideas that don't work and aren't fun to implement. Even though I'm garbage at coding, yet ag...

Cute, fun little game. The sprite animation frames and parallax scrolling look fantastic. Level 3 was kind of obnoxious though, the buildings where there's just a stripe of color at the top became completely obscured by a cloud every now and then, and as a result I had no way of knowing what color p...

It'd look nicer if you did this:

Code: Select all

switch (current map) do (
   case (1) ## Put slice somewhere
   case (2) ## Put slice somewhere else
   ...etc...
)

So, when devs were making games for the NES, they would sometimes record actual sound effects and then compress them for use in the game, correct? For certain sounds, I feel like this method would be easier than playing around with an 8-bit sound effect generator until I get what I want. I don't kn...

@Foxley: Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but this game seems to be coming along fantastically well. At first I wasn't fond of the grid based movement, but with the higher framerate, it's actually not that bad at all. It truly feels more like a feature than a limitation and it no longer bothers m...
