I was trying to create a self destruct script (it is really simple) and it doesn't work. here it is:

;self-destruct by andrew

;will self-destruct the character

:state=0:animate=0

:state=0,state=1

:state=1:plrcannotbeseen,animate=1,plrcanbeseen,animate=11,state=2

:state=2,destroy

help please!

p.s.
I am sorry that it is not in a code snippet i do not know how to use it.

First off, You got your conditions and actions mixed up and missing colons.
Second, you need it to be in FPI format (I think... not sure).

:state=0,state=1
should read
:state=0:state=1

:state=1:plrcannotbeseen,animate=1,plrcanbeseen,animate=11,state=2
This mess needs to be divided up the conditions need to be on the otherside of the colon... like this.
:state=1,plrcannotbeseen:animate=1
:state=1,plrcannotbeseen:animate=11,state=2

:state=2,destroy
This should read
:state=2:destory

In the end it should look like this


Use FPI Editpad and it will provide a list of all the conditions and actions. It will also prevent mistakes like this.

dude, you really need to title your threads properly. not to bash you, but how is someone else who has the same problem supposed to get help by searching if your threads aren't named properly?

True, also, try condensing your scripts more like such:


translates to

This makes your script a little more organized, and it's more readable.

Also, heres a tip
To remember where colons go, think of it like this.

You want 1 colon to signal the start of conditions (in otherwords, it's the first thing in every line).

You also want one colon to signal the start of actions.

Use commas to seperate conditions from conditions and actiona from actions


:condition1,condition2:action1,action2

Good first start

If you leave them separated, you are actually creating 2 problems:

1. We don't know that you've left them separated intentionally, so your code looks wrong to us. And we are correcting you based on incorrect code; and

2. Your script is wrong when coded that way, which will cause it to fail when you try to implement it.

And to your point about us being able to read it more clearly that way....no, it isn't. Those of us out here who are scripters prefer to have the code compacted and streamlined. It is actually easier for us to read it when it isn't separated into single statements on every line.
