Interesting Script [assumed impossable (gave up on requesting it)]

[fadark]

I need a script that makes it so when a spesific event touches a different spesific event, the a spesific variable changes value. can someone make me or give me that script?


Thanks if you can help!

[Rune]

Wha?

You mean when one event touches another (specific events obviously) something happens... like they both disappear?

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

easy... if you want one to move and the other stays in place that is.

Make two variables named anything you want. It's best to name them X and Y.

v= variable

Make it so that whenever the even moves up add 1 to vX. When is goes down subtraced one from vX. When it goes left add 1 to vY and take from it if it goes to the right.

       ^ +1 x
+1 y <   > -1 y
         \/ -1 x

ok now set so that the event activates when the xy = the events placement.

I see what your saying. but that wont work because im making a shooting game.

when you shoot: an event (the bullet) shoots out of your hero.

I need to make it so when the bullet (spesific event #1) hits the enemy (spesific event #2) the enemy's hp (spesific variable) changes value (goes down).

when the variable is 0 or less, the enemy (spesific event #2) dies.

and I can do that by making it so when the variable is 0 or less, a switch activates that erases the enemy (spesific event #2)

but i still need a script that makes it so when the bullet (spesific event #1) hits the enemy (spesific event #2) the enemy's hp (spesific variable) goes down

I need a script because I doubt you can do this with events if the enemy in moving, if someone can do it with events, that fine too but I doubt its possable.

[fadark]

hello? any good scripters out there?

[fadark]

ok thanks, great

[Kokowam]

Why not set two variables, BulletX and BulletY, which will be set to the bullets coordinates? Then, when BulletX =EnemyX and Bullet Y = EnemyY, a common event will trigger the HP reduction?

[fadark]

because one of the events would have to be phasing, and i cant have that.
ill wait for kipe's events-chain that he's working on

[Kokowam]

Couldn't the bullet be phasing? Since it's going to be going over everything?

[fadark]

thanks kipe

[fadark]

ok, if you need to use events and scripts that fine, tell me when your done

[fadark]

how is the eventing going?

[fadark]

done yet?

[Kokowam]

Well, why not make the bullet phasing and then when making things such as bulidings, you make the building an event so when collision, the bullet is destroyed or whatever?

[fadark]

too many events in 1 map created alot of lag and my game is already having lag

[fadark]

just checking up on ya, kipe. everything go'n well?

[edit] hello? kipe?

[edit] kipe? are you there? hello? anyone there?

[fadark]

kipe, is it finished?

Couldn't you do that with the bullet and the wall? O_o

[Kokowam]

Yeah! But then, he said too many events = bad. Or... You could just do a "Collision = destroy" but he won't listen

[Rune]

Is there a way you could swap the character with the bullet? So you are contantly going forward... and if you hit a building (collision event) the bullet gets destroyed and you swap character back to your main hero?

[Kokowam]

That would be change actor, but you would still need to use move event so probably more eventing doing that.

[Rune]

Hmm... okay then... just a thought...

[fadark]

Yeah! But then, he said too many events = bad. Or... You could just do a "Collision = destroy" but he won't listen Tongue

how would i do that? just because the enemy collides with the bullet doesn't mean the the bullet or the enemy will activate.

[Kokowam]

Errr.... Never mind. XD You'll have to work with variables and a lot of it, not using scripts. BulletX, BulletY, TargetX, and TargetY. When BulletX = TargetX, check if BulletY = TargetY. Actually, that won't work. If you do that, you'll need only a set amount of things the bullet can collide with and a parallel process to change Target1X/Target1Y, Target2X/Target2Y, etc. constantly. Your choice.

[fadark]

thats why i dont think this is possble with 2 moving events that neither of them are phasing. which is why this topic is in the scrpits section. but i will wait on kipe because maybe he is a genious and knows a way.
