I got an idea.
Make a Zelda Point and click game

You can have custom bosses which you AID link with a hand and just click click.

Locked doors are solids,and get keys to open them, and you enter a new area for link!
Every screen contains link doing something, playing whistle, sleeping....

for bosses
you can have link charge his sword by rapdily clicking on his sword while it charges (just put an enemy there or seomthing that won't move) and secrets and all taht stuff...

and...
etc.

You've got Phantom Hourglass on your mind too much

That's a cool idea And it would be very possible.
I would love to control a boomerange or even a hookshot using my mouse, that would be sweet!

Unique idea, but using ZC to do it would be like using a toaster to iron a shirt.

CODE

//
// "Mouse Cursor"
// FFC follows mouse.
// Use sparingly!
//
ffc script MouseCursor {
  void run() {
    while(true) {
      this->X = Link->InputMouseX+8;
      this->Y = Link->InputMouseY+8;
      Waitframe();
    }
  }
}

Tis a start, no?

I did that once after Hurricane Katrina. Worked out fine. It looks like Joe123's script will, too.

[Joe123]

Nono, that's _L_'s script, not mine.
Just quoting from the Neofirst script file, should've said, sorry.

You know, I have been thinking about doing a mouse contolled game ever since the mouse contorles were added. Would be fairly simple to script. Maybe if a bunch of people help, we could make Phantom Hourglass ZC. Minus the 3D sections though.

How about this one?

CODE

//
// "Mouse Cursor"
// FFC follows mouse.
// Use sparingly!
//
ffc script MouseCursor {
  void run() {
    while(true) {
      this->X=Link->InputMouseX;
      this->Y=Link->InputMouseY;
      if(Link->X+8 < Link->InputMouseX)
      {
        Link->InputRight=true;
      }
      else if(Link->X+8 > Link->InputMouseX)
      {
        Link->InputLeft=true;
      }
      if(Link->Y+8 < Link->InputMouseY)
      {
        Link->InputDown=true;
      }
      else if(Link->Y+8 > Link->InputMouseY)
      {
        Link->InputUp=true;
      }
      Waitframe();
    }
  }
}

Set the ffc to an arrow combo (like the mouse arrow in ZQuest). For some reason, it's not drawing the cursor in the game engine for me, though. Also, it won't really work right unless you turn on diagonal movement.

Exactly. You COULD do it, but given the alternative, you'd definitely use the iron, right? I'm not saying that this coudn't work, but if you're looking to create something like this, there are far better-suited methods.

[Joe123]

Personally I'd rather try and make a Point and Click game in ZC than iron a shirt with a toaster =P

DN's Post and Script

Yes, but is there a click function!

The idea on its own is amazing, certainly. All we can do at the moment is to circle things with the mouse to interact with them, or to nudge or slash them. Would be ... interesting ... to script.

[Joe123]

You could have the 'click' just be pressing A or L or R or whatever instead of the mouse button.

Not all too hard to do I shouldn't think.
