There is a simpler solution: it's a very little-known feature, but continue and break take an optional argument, which says how many loops up to break out of/to continue. It defaults to 1. So you could write: if (keyispressed(key:enter) || keyispressed(key&...

Yes, nice pixelwork! Although I notice that at the top right there's a piece of floor without a wall above it. Is that intentional (is it a doorway?) What looks like a puddle of blood on a wall is also a bit odd. Ah yes, you can get that font here . The "extension" to the deadline sounds l...

HSpeak does not recognise +2 to mean 2. Instead it interprets "set hero Z (me, +2)" to mean "set hero Z (me+2)" with the unspecified Z argument defaulting to 0. Get rid of the +'s. In future I may make HSpeak stricter about disallowing stray commas in certain contexts. And yes, y...

The on-keypress script doesn't receive any arguments . You just use keyispressed or other commands, as normal. If you convert it to an on-keypress script then either you can simplify the script (get rid of 'waited' and the wait(1)) and just allow the script to get double-triggered without limit, in ...

If you have two different scripts that want to use a while loop to run every tick, then you have a problem, only one can run. But you can probably combine the two into a single while loop. Alternative to doing that, while loops can often modified to use a timer instead. In the case of the Stairs scr...

Actually, originally there were only 1024 globals. The limit wasn't increased to 4096 until DOS support was dropped: the extra variables would have required an extra [s]3KB[/s](edit: 6KB) of real-mode memory, which was a lot! Later, to increase the limit considerably more we had to replace the save ...

That's genuinely scary. I'm surprised you aren't worried about running out of globals; there are only 16384!

The brute-force way to accomplish that is to reload the wallmap with resetmapstate, and then write walls corresponding to the boulder again.

Nonono, that's a bad idea: what if you parent something else to the map layer in future? What if a future version of the engine does so by itself? Kylekrack meant assign a lookup code to the slice itself, like this: set slice lookup(sl, sli:boulder) ... sl := lookup s...

So, uh, is there any process for getting your hands on a highly desirable exclusive Limited Edition 2016 Monster Combo Art Fridge Magnet if you aren't in the exclusive club of People Who Submitted Monster Combo Art? *Gasp* Were we meant to make requests back in April?

That's a pretty complicated cutscene script! The way you parented it to an NPC with a larger Y is a reasonable workaround. Personally I would have gone a different route, parenting the vehicle slice a map layer instead to get easier control over layering. I'll think more about exposing the ability t...

I'm really surprised by that Doom review. I didn't know anything about the game except that you can chainsaw demons in half, which didn't appeal to me. After such a glowing review I would go play the demo, but unfortunately it apparently doesn't run with Wine under Linux because even the demo, even ...

If the carriages move or animate independently (say, the train turns a corner) then it would be easiest to have each a separate large enemy sprite slice, otherwise I would use a backdrop slice for everything (which also lets you use more than 16 colours, but this looks like a limited palette), with ...

Ah, I see now that resume caterpillar and loading a saved game are actualyl the only ways to get the caterpillar state to be reinterpolated from arbitrary positions; mounting/dismounting a vehicle and changing map also move all the heroes to the same tile and resets the caterpillar trail. You don't ...

I didn't really see anything wrong with the script you posted ("wait for hero" waits for the leader), but I assume there's no longer a problem with that. The caterpillar issue is a serious nuisance; I'd forgotten about that. I don't have a copy of the OHR here at the moment (I've just suff...
