Oh, yes, now I see the problem. You cannot use operators in "case" the way you are doing. this is wrong: switch &#40;random &#40;1,20&#41;&#41; case &#40;>5&#41; &#40; If you want to check a range values, you will need to use an if/then. Case is the wrong tool f...

Can you re-post the script using http://pastebin.com/ ? Posting in the forum without using the code tag destroys any indentation, but even with the code tag, scripts that use comparison operators that contain > and < can be mangled by the forum. Pastebin will let you post the script cleanly, so I wi...

I am working on Bob the Hamster Dirt Dig Friday evening, I made it so that Bob can struggle his way out of a spiderweb in 10 turns if no enemy kills him in that time. Today I am working on web-struggling sprites for all the enemies, and AI for the spider to react to a victim in a web. <img src="...

I pre-renominate Entrepreneur, effective the first month that Pepsi revokes his moratorium. Even in its unfinished state, it is a very cool game.

Try something like this, also at the top of the vehicle remote script if&#40;current map <> map&#58;World Map&#41; then&#40;exit script&#41; Or you could even get fancy and show a text box that says "This remote only works on the world map!" if&#40;current map <> ma...

@ncw64: Cool! I started a match with you!. The most important strategy tip I ever learned in Hero Academy is simply that before you submit your moves, look at the board, and try to guess what your opponent is likely to do back to you in the next round. If you think they are likely to do severe harm ...

Actually, now I need to know how to make the Remote only work when I am not already in a vehicle because using it while in a vehicle causes some odd behavior, such as characters walking at a higher speed than usual, and vehicles floating in mid-air when not in use. In the vehicle editor, look for t...

Are we talking about the Paper Mario game for the Wii? (that is the only one I have played) I liked some things about it. I agree that the town was mostly boring and repetitive. My favorite bits were the actual platforming levels. They were easy, but my old-man reflexes didn't mind. I liked the art ...

I just fixed the attack and enemy cloning bug the other day, so the fix should be in the current nightly build.

Ah, yes. That will cause the heroes to walk to whereever the jet is located. Try something like this plotscript, call jet, begin set NPC speed&#40;1, 20&#41; # really fast walk NPC to Y&#40;1, hero Y&#40;0&#41;&#41; walk NPC to X&#40;1, hero X&#40;0&#41;&#41; ...

If you want an example of two vehicles on the same map, Wandering Hamster has one.

The only difference is that you need an additional set of global variables for each vehicle.

As for the remote vehicle triggering script, can you post it? We might be able to help you figure out what is wrong

What about this? Use the normal default caterpillar party, but when you choose the menu option to talk with your party, they form a circle. If there are walls in the way preventing them from forming a circle, they can just come as close to forming the circle as possible, and face the leader. You cou...
