Technical forum / How to test reasonably my game?

« on: December 08, 2008, 09:03:38 PM »

Hi... I wonder how is it possible to test game reasonably? For example, I put a new item to game. Take a save from early scene -> go to scene, take a item -> give error When I played the whole game from the start, it didn't give me that error anymore, is there a bug? hmm...This bothers me, cos I have to always play from start to end, if i want to test my new scene or am I just missing something?

Here is a example of my Talk on one of my entities named "cultist". I hope this helps...

Code: [Select]

on "Talk"
{

   GoToObject();
   Game.Interactive = false;

  // greetings
  if(!StateRoom.TalkedToCultist) actor.Talk("Howdidlidou!");
  else actor.Talk("Wzup Ketchup, it's me again.");
  this.Talk("Hello, Fat Wizard.");

  // set the flag, so that we know we've already talked to him
  StateRoom.TalkedToCultist = true;

  if(!StateHell.Curry)
  {
  CultistDialogue();
  }
  else CultistDialogue3();
 
  // and let the dialogue begin
 

  // restore interactivity
  Game.Interactive = true;
}

some parts you can cut away, like the dialogues and so on, if you just want some really basic stuff said.

Jee JEE I got it working...Here is the code:

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"

global TeleportOpen;

var e = Scene.GetNode("guarded");

on "LeftClick"
{
if (!TeleportOpen)
 {
 e.Blocked = true;
 actor.Talk("I am too scared of the space monster!");
 actor.Talk("I can't go there");
 }
 else
 {
 GoToObject();
 e.Blocked = false;
 actor.Talk("I think I can go there now safely");
 
 }
}

function GoToObject ()
{
actor.GoTo(770,550);
actor.TurnTo(DI_DOWNRIGHT);
}

so you see, there is slight difference... I use e.Blocked and then on the else branch I use gotoobject function to make that lameass fat wizard to move

Hmm, now when I changed it to region entity it says the first texts when clicking on the region, but later when it should let the region be active when TeleportOpen == true then it doens't say anything or let the character walk on the area. I have the first codes now, which I put here after your glues...

Hi

This script is tried to attach to "guarded" region as a guarded.script...I saw that you can put scripts to region, so I put and you can neither get to there from scenes folder or from sceneEdit.

Huh and Hi again :/ I can't get it working still...
Here is what I got...

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"

global TeleportOpen;

var e = Scene.GetNode("guarded");

on "LeftClick"
{
if (!TeleportOpen)
 {
 e.Active = false;
 actor.Talk("I am too scared of the space monster!");
 actor.Talk("I can't go there");
 }
 else
 {
 e.Active = true;
 actor.Talk("I think I can go there now safely");
 }
}

"guarded" is the name of my region and TeleportOpen is a global variable storing boolean false/true value.
The LeftClick didn't do anything if take the leftclick code away, it says I am too scared of the space monster! in the start of scene (as it should), but later I can't get the else branch working at all...


ALSO I tried following:

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"

global TeleportOpen;

var e = Scene.GetNode("guarded");

if (!TeleportOpen)
 {
 e.Active = true;
 e.Blocked = true;
 }
 else
 {
 e.Active = true;
 e.Blocked = false;
 }

but neither any of this code works

one thing I would like to tell, which meta already told...you can make new items, let's say ironbar* and then put to some entity (npc or item):

on "ironbar"
{
//your code here for example he says something, takes the ironbar, whatever -> makes you get some open passage or item
//(whatever you imagination brings)
}

so you can make code which uses some of your inventory items

*this only to make meta's text more understable

« on: October 28, 2008, 06:52:41 PM »

Hi, I tried to block one region (make it blocked from sceneedit) and then make a if statement that should release it if item is given to one guy. I tried this:

if (!TeleportOpen) Region.Blocked = true;
else Region.Blocked = false;

but as usually it didn't work...it was only blocked for eternity hehe, I know this might be very basic to you guys, but I can't figure it out. The TeleportOpen is set to true if item is given to one npc entity. plz help

Thanks already!

Aaah, it was so simple to me it is just the order of things in *.scene file ...I was thinking to use some difficult code to make that work, but now I could get it working much more easier, thanks again for your guidance and this engine. Btw I tried to find help file about that thing, but of course cos I was lazy to read I missed it  ...Now my character stands before the door as he should!

Technical forum / Z-order guiding needed :)

« on: October 26, 2008, 08:31:11 PM »

Hi everybody!

I could need a quick lecture about z-ordering. Just the basics for the start ..How to use that infernal thing and how to use MoveToBottom() function for example and all those other functions as well. 

So the setup is like this. I have a sprite entity called "Gate" and I would like that to be on the bottom so that the actor can't go behind that gate. How do I control the z-order for this Gate I have? I have gate.script which contains the code of this gate and I think that I should put some code more to here, but don't know how. I tried to use that MoveToBottom() function, but all I get is error to my log  ...heh.

Thnx already!
