: if you look back at your old mesage it says "if you could twek this for items blah blah blah...
: : : First, i was wondering if that four direction
: : : prg. you gave me could be modified to be used in
: : : a different kind of loop prg. If it could could you tell me the modified part of it.
: : Hmmmm.. You mean like a #Branch or a #While loop? A #While loop would use up exclusive computer
: : time, while a #Branch would be a multitakser.. Depends on whether you are going to have other programs
: : running at the same time, basically..
: : A #While loop:
: : #While(done!=0)
: : {
: : *blah
: : *sometime set done! to 1 or something...However
: : *many times you want to do it.. Like it could be
: : *#While(done!<=5) which would run it five times if you did
: : *a #done! = done! + 1 in the loop...
: : }
: : #Branch loop (the multitasker):
: : :top
: : *blah.. no need for brackets...
: : #Branch(:top)
: : : Also, the #If part of the prg. does not work. I rewrote it several times, it just does not do the
: : : job. If you had an alternative to it could you please tell me it, but if not, I'll be OK.
: : Heh... Maybe I just wrote it wrong or something.. Lemme have a look... Muslim Shiite! (old joke, don't
: : ask..) The board interpreted it as HTML code and left out stuff.. Ok, take a look at this:
: : #If(x!(less than symbol)playery[0])
: : {
: : #direction$ = "west"
: : )
: : You see, the board thought the less than symbol was part of HTML code.. From now on, I'll use ^ as my
: : less than symbol.. Do you see the problem now? :)
: : : Oh yahhh... How would I make a prg ativate a item, insted of just asigning a key to it.
: : You mean have a program activate an item's program? I dunno, I suppose you could use the #Run or
: : #Change command to call a different program.. Look it up in the manual, I forgot which specific one it
: : is...
: : :And that part of tweking It too items to have the first action based toolkit game, no need.
: : Ok, I'll admit it.. Heh, I have no idea what you said here...;) I have a friend from Portugal who is
: : a second language English speaker (i.e English isn't his primary language) so I think I understand..:)
: : :I just made my own prg. for that, so it would have more than four aimations per movement(say it apeared that the prg. was creeping around, looking for the plater.In the middle of the tile it would
: : : stop and look both ways, and then slowly move on,
: : : or in some cases I made it apear that it was creeping south/east( you cant destroy this prg,
: : : when it tooches a tile 2 tiles away from you
: : : it acks as if it finds you, it playes an avi that shows you getting thrown out of a court yard, and then you would have to start the sneeking game sequeence over again).).
: : Wow, this sounds pretty impressive! Good work! :)
: : : If you realy think that an action/rpg/adventure game was cool I will let you download when I am done. You could post it on your site too. Thanks.
: : I'd love to see it.. Email me a copy at mike.young@intelec.com.. I've got a few ideas for an action RPG too.. But these will be put off till I finish The
: : Mountains of Midon... So, sure, send me a copy if you want! :)
