this is what i have right now..im having trouble adding the throwing though
can someone help out to do the math when you throw the object at the enemies???
i failed all 4 years of math in high school it'll be awesome if someone can help

Hrm...

I'm not trying to put you off scripting or anything here, but I think you might've tried to go a bit in over your head with this one.

This is one of the most complicated things that I can think of to script - I've certainly never even dreamed of trying it.
There are a lot of errors in what you're written, and alongside the fact that you've just missed a lot of what you need out, I think it's fair to assume you still haven't really grasped the basics of ZScript quite yet.

I'll go back to your other thread with all those scripts in when I get the time, and show you how you've gone wrong in those ones and hopefully that'll help.
Practise and patience.

Well Joe, that's because Chris here is not afraid of terms like "complicated" and the like. He just wants to script new features and obviously doesn't care if people think he can or not, and good for him I say. Did anyone tell me that I should try and script easier stuff? (well probably ) Peoples minds work differently from person to person. It took me a little while to be able think in code, so to speak.

Chris; What I've learned is this: Scripting is 90% planning and 10% coding. (then 99% bugfixing... ) It just happens that the coding part takes up 90% of the time. Does that make any sense?! ..Well think about it. If your design is poor then think about the mangled mess you'll have when you put all the parts together.
From the looks of it though, it doesn't look too bad. It's nowhere done yet but it's a good start. If I can suggest using an FFC instead of integers and drawtiles for the pot once link picks it up. That way it will be easier to move around and damage enemies when you throw it at them without keeping track of raw numbers.


But stuff like this:

CODE

               Screen->ComboD[ComboAt(xx,yy)] + 20;
               Screen->ComboC[ComboAt(xx,yy)];

or this:

CODE

                   Link->HP=Link->MaxHP;
                        Waitdraw();

Picking up a pot refills Links hearts?

Need to be cleaned up a bit.

[Joe123]

I'm pretty sure I remember you telling me I should script easier stuff ¬_¬

[Christian]

Hehe joe's right i went pretty big over myself trying to think it was possible. Thinking about it more, i don't think it's worth scripters even trying to do it now. Its done when the developers wants to. And gleeok , you're trying to say i should start scripting easier stuff >_>?
