Slime Salad

I've got about 30 sound effects made in FamiTracker so far, I'll try to get closer to 50 done and release them in .ogg and also the whole Audacity project file in case anyone wants to pitch shift or modify them.

I'll just kind of clarify exactly what I'm trying to do (without actual scripts for now, I kicked my USB drive on accident and kind of borked it): I wanted to set aside 5 timers for NPCs/enemies flashing after taking damage, for their invincibility period. The i is in a for() loop doing "if rea...

Alright. The NPC ref is the important one, I could do something like duplicate the timer scripts if need be, even if it looks terrible.

I'm trying to call a script trigger from a set timer, like so: set timer (i, 0, 5, @hurt flash(ref, i)) I'm passing it a couple of arguments. Here's what hspeak has to say about it: "Found unexpected pair of brackets containing 2 expressions. Either the brackets ...

Is the game in question a turn-based game like Dragon Quest, or a game with active time battle like the SNES and PS1 Final Fantasies? If the game is turn-based, holding Escape will never work for running away from battle.

There are settings for Extra Hits both in the hero's stats and also the Extra Hits setting in the Attack definition itself. Make sure Extra Hits are 0, not 1.

OK, as it turned out, it wasn't working because I defined 'attack power' as a global but forgot to give it a value in the new game script, so it was doing 0 damage to enemy health... yeah.

Sure. script, check sword attack, dir, begin variable (ref, next) ref := next npc reference while (ref) do ( next := next npc reference(ref) if (player attacking && slice collide (get npc slice(re...

One thing I'm attempting to do, and I'm not sure if this is why what I'm attempting to do is failing, is get a value (let's call it X) through a loop in one script, have it call another script with that value - "other script(X)" - and then have that script call yet another script using tha...

Thanks TMC, I'm at least getting some results with that approach, where I was getting nothing before. Though I'm still not able to figure out why certain things aren't happening, namely enemy sprites getting knocked back and their NPC extra data being updated.

script, check for sword collision, sword, begin # The sword argument is an NPC reference to your sword NPC # This script loops through all other NPCs, and checks if the # sword hit any of them variable(i) # NPC references are negative numbers in the range of -1 to -300 for(r...

That last idea sounds hacky and totally awesome. I could even just do that in the slice collection editor and run a script to free the obscuring slice children one at a time, with a pause. If there isn't a more efficient way to do it entirely via scripting, I'll totally give it a try.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this done in other games, so it must be doable. Basically, in the style of Zelda 1 and 2, and Castlevania 2, each string character shows one at a time.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to implement this sort of thing?

It was probably written by a bot using Google Translate, and is hilarious.

Trying to use timers became a hideous mess really fast and none of it worked, so now I'm going to try (i.e. struggle) to work with values per tick. I'm working on some pseudocode to try to get an understanding of how to manage values per tick/frame, if someone could give feedback on IRC later tonigh...
