Quick scripting question.

[Taco Bot]

Okay, so I made a textbox that displays a message and then teleports you if you answer "yes."

The teleport script is as follows:

Code: Select all

include, plotscr.hsd
include, scancode.hsi
include, pH.hsi

plotscript,hackin,begin
	add hero (hero:Syre)
	delete hero (hero:Vate)
	if (current map() == map:Test) then(
		teleport to map (map:HackTest, 5, 5)
	)
end

It works just fine, only once I get to the map; my hero and all other NPCs are invisible. I'm still able to interact with them, and by using F1 I can see where the hero is.

Edit: Sorry! Solved it! Accidentally put my background layer above my hero layer...

I think there's a good chance you want to just swap Vate out of the active party and lock (hide) him rather than deleting.

I've done exactly that. Being an ancient laptop with a probably bad battery, it turned out the battery charging light didn't even light up until it's been plugged in an hour.

What's the difference?

I have an unrelated question, but I figured it would fit well on this thread.

How do I tell the game to save certain data in the save file, like where a certain slice is on the screen when the game saves? In Stand, the player is just a walkabout sprite, so it doesn't save where the sprite is, which would be nice, so I can have multiple save points.

Deleting them is permanent (all equip is also deleted), and you'll have to create a new copy of the hero to re-add them. See also:
How do I prevent a hero in the reserve party from appearing in the team menu?

I didn't understand the second sentence. But in nightly builds there is a new Saved Game Settings menu where you can set that slices parented to the "sprite layer" slice should be saved in save games. By default no slices are saved.

However your hero slice is parented to the hero walkabouts layer by the "set parent(player,lookup slice(sl:hero layer))" command, so it wouldn't be saved either way. For something as simple as a single slice you would just recreate it in the load game script.
