Is this script possible?

Posted by theprophet on 07/04/02 - 13:11:15

I didnt test it yet, but is it possible?

void use( void )

{

&magic_level = 0;

&healtotal += &level;

&healtotal * &healskill;

&life += &healtotal;

if (&life > &lifemax)

&life = &lifemax;

playsound(22, 22050, 0,0,0);

draw_status();

//lets make the star magic graphic effect

spawn("mag-star");

}

: &healtotal += &level;

In principle, yes. But I believe you might have touble putting the Dink hard-coded global on the right side of the addition. You'd better to get a local or a custom-defined global variable, say &powerlevel, and do the following:

&powerlevel = &level;

&healtotal += &powerlevel;

That's your choice. It is fine that you don't believe me, just don't bad mouth it!

All I said is that I did have some experience finding that hard coded variables like &exp, &level, and &life might act differently sometimes involving a math operation in a script since all of them are changing in the game without script. &level might not be as violent as &exp or &life, but potentially it could become a bug. You might still think that's bullsh*t. Go ahead. I thought I was trying to help! ;(

I don't think that's a valid argument either. It should work Prophet.

Actually, I HAVE messed around with such script s and I never had any problems. Of course, I'm not saying there can't be any problems with it, since Seth created it :P

It is a valid argument... those who haven't messed with such scripts/variables probably can't see any reason why it wouldn't work... for there truly isn't any reasonable explanation for why it doesn't.

It just won't.

And, in any case, may I ask why this script was even posted? "I haven't tried it yet" blah blah blah... why NOT try it? It takes a whole two minutes to try it, if it doesn't work then post it here. Otherwise its just a complete waste of time/space/everything for everyone else.

There you go... learn something new every day

I used to have beserker magic in SOB - but I was messing around with those in built globals and all of a sudden weird things starting happening to the stats. Maybe that was it. I took the magic out before I released SOB. Maybe I can put it back in... hmmm but CC had beserker potions, so maybe not... I don't know, depends how bored I get.

I tried it, it worked, but I need some ideas, because, &healtotal + &level * &healskill isnt good, or is it?
