Sorry your browser is not supported!

First off I'd like to say this is based off of some script I found on the forum by Merranvo. Secondly, I'm a bit new to the FPSC scripting language, so there's something I'm probably missing. I've been fiddling with this today and it's working pretty spiffy, except for a few bugs...anyone want to help work them out?



Bugs: (that I know of)

Timer is not working, so jetpack is not destroyed after 30s. When the player falls there is no damage if he lands on the same layer he took off from, but if he lands on a lower layer there is. In addition, if the player then takes off from the lower layer, he jumps instantly above the original layer. Constant rate of fall where there should be an increasing rate. Player can land on surfaces just fine, but passes right through them on the way up. Sound (not implemented yet) stutters as it is constantly being replayed if the USE key is held down for flight.

Time for a nap! lol

the jetpack was already written in full by merranvo, and stolen by monster...

I like the JetPack idea. I may include it in my Riker 9 update (with Merranvo permission). It doesn't HAVE to be a jetpack, it can be a car/motorcycle/etc. Heck, it could be a balloon!

Complaining about the constant rate of fall is a bit harsh. I wouldn't rate this a priority.

The other stuff can probably be worked out. I'm looking at it too, will post more when I have the time.

Also I found that jumping with the jetpack on caused my game to hang.

The main reason I like this script is that it taught me so much about scripting.

You really are Monster's "Alter Ego" ...

I know, but I'm looking at it as a learning experience. I'll need to learn how to write script sooner or later.

Transient

Yeah I know, I'm being anal about the rate of fall, but I'm trying to get it to be as realistic as possible. I'll probably work on it some more this evening and tomorrow too...etc, until I get it done.

your learning to script?

have you seen this?

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=62366&b=23

Yep, it's one of the first things I read. It helped me quite a bit actually. Basically it's nothing more than a bunch of IF...THEN statements with some branching.

What I'd like to see is documentation on the undocumented features that are in the default scripts, but have no explanation in the manual.

Also, a FPI IDE would be cool, something with watch funtions and the like so you could demo your script before plopping it into FPSC and building a test level. Oops...I guess I shouldn't have said anything about that. It might show up as part of a new pack or something. Maybe if I have the time I'll look into programming it in VB6, C++ or something... *shrug* Of course, this would require a high degree of understanding as to how FPSC actually interprets the scripts.

Monster Takes Pity on thou who Can't Afford His Own Meals.

First off, realize that order matters, and that values matter. Adding little tabs onto my script without figuring out what each section was for doesn't make better scripts. I found a few errors that occured, but then again, I am not runing a cash cow computer.

IDE... easy...

Thanks very much, that works fantastic! I have a basic understanding of how the script functions, but I am far from an expert at this point.

FPI IDE ... see http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=62056&b=23

What commands are undocumented?

OMFG LOL!!

That's it, I'm making a balloon pack.

Goddamm I'll be rich....as rich as Monster.

Evil Stick

There's a few of them. For instance, plrsound is nowhere to be found in the manual (at least I can't find it). There are others, but I can't remember them all. Compare the manual with what you find in the included .fpi's and you'll find them.

O...k, if you find em, please tell me! I'm makin:

A) An IDE.
B) A manual for FPSC.

an IDE for what??

Merlinerranvo? Masucerranvo? Monster? Wait, that last one doesn't work.

could you keep posting updated versions of the code? I tgets hard for people to have to look close for it

That is V1, untampered.
I've done a bit of tampering, but if I get any great tampers, I will send them off to Riker 9, no use having a single engine. Most of the things I feel need tampering, will cause problems while fixing others, so much of the scripting language is tied with other parts (I particularly like the totally redundant code that checks to see if a number is greater then 100. That should have been adressed in the editor, not the engine)

Grab the source code, Although it is hard to just glance read, it makes it easyer when checking up on commands and conditions. (Like the ones that don't exist)

Boom Shaka Laka

how do you use the script?

:state=6,plrdistwithin=50:state=1,associateplayer,setalphafade=0,timerstart

;End of Script

As you can clearly see, state being three causes all other commands to be skipped.

That is GOOD coding. If I wanted to, I would condense it even more by making use of the activated variable.

don't insult what you don't understand.

:line=1:preforme,all,actions,at,once
:line=2:preform,these,actions,latter

I have a model for the Script... but the modeler wants to wait till his entire pack is done.

It is all hush hush.

Aren't you suppose to be banned?

i don't know if it is pay or not...
I just make scripts.

All I know is that it looks good, very good.
And if the modeler would step up, he could show you how good it looks.
