It's my second attempt at making a script, and I actually got kinda' far.

CODE

ffc script screenWave{
     void run(int frames);
          Screen->Wavy(int frames);
     }
}

How do I get the wave calmed down and have it going for as long as I want it to?

I'm not sure if that's what you want but anyway.

CODE

ffc script wavecalmdown
{
    void run(int intensity,int rate)
    {
        while(intensity!=0)
        {
            Screen->Wavy(intensity);
            intensity-=rate;
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

D0:intensity must be >0 or it won't work.
D1:rate must be set to a positive value unless you want the intensity of the wavy effect to increase...

I don't know, that won't even compile for me...no matter how much I mess around with it.

^ That's because both of y'all were using Screen->Wavy as a function instead of a variable. I changed the script a little since I figured this is slightly more what you are looking for.

CODE

import "std.zh"

// screenWave - Turns on the wave screen effect.
// D0: intensity of wave, can be any integer
// D1: length of wave in frames. use a negative number to create an infinite wave effect.
ffc script screenWave
{
    void run(int intensity, int framelength)
    {
        while(true)
        {
            if(framelength==0) Quit();
            else if(framelength>0) framelength--;
            Screen->Wavy=Abs(intensity);
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

Elmensagero , if you just used a for loop it would have been easier and shorter. I would type in my version of this,but too bad im on a mobile phone

[Elmensajero]

I could have used a for loop, but I would have to write the script a little differently to include the "infinite wave effect" feature. The variable framelength is only decremented if the value is greater than 0. It is not modified at all if it is less than zero.

// screenWave - Turns on the wave screen effect.
// D0: intensity of wave, can be any integer
// D1: length of wave in frames. use a negative number to create an infinite wave effect.
ffc script screenWave
{
    void run(int intensity, int framelength)
    {
        while(true)
        {
            if(framelength==0){
                Screen->Wavy = 0;
                Quit();
            }else if(framelength>0) framelength--;
            Screen->Wavy=Abs(intensity);
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

Might wanna make it stop when the framerate hits 0 ;-)

Thanks everyone!
