I'm using the Pegasus boots script from Joe123:
http://www.purezc.co...showtopic=38916

The script uses this function:

//Stops all Link's inputs
void NoAction(){
Link->InputUp = false;
Link->InputDown = false;
Link->InputLeft = false;
Link->InputRight = false;
Link->InputR = false;
Link->InputL = false;
Link->InputA = false;
Link->InputB = false;

But I want Link to hold his sword in front of him during the dashing (like in Links Awakening).

Is this possible anyhow?



(sorry for my bad english)

If you don't have "Select A button item", setting Link->InputA to true and perhaps setting Link->Action to stabbing would do the trick. Otherwise, you'll probably have to generate the sword with the script (actually an arrow that looks like a sword because Link's swords can't be made with scripts).

[Rastael]

Thank you for your answer.

But the problem is, I'm using the rule "select A button item"...

How can I generate the sword with the script? My scripting-knowledge is not the best...

(sorry for my bad english)

[MoscowModder]

I am not an expert scripter either, but I know the esword script has code to make a scripted sword (actually an arrow) and set its position to the position of an enemy every frame. It shouldn't be too hard to modify it into an Lweapon at Link's position.

Edit: I'm saying this in case a more practiced scripter comes along who knows how to turn this idea into a script.

OK, thank you.

Is there anywhere an expert-scripter, who can help me? XD

Here it is:

CODE

...
if(!PegasusCollision){
...
  //Play SFX
  if(DashCounter%DashSFXLength == 0) Game->PlaySound(SFX_DASH);


// using sword while running
if((GetEquipmentA()==I_SWORD1 || GetEquipmentB()==I_SWORD1) && DashCounter>10){
mysword = LoadLWeaponOf(LW_SCRIPT3);
if(!mysword->isValid()){
  mysword = Screen->CreateLWeapon(LW_SCRIPT3);
  mysword->Damage = 8;
}
mysword->UseSprite(0);
mysword->X = Link->X+InFrontX(Link->Dir, 6);
mysword->Y = Link->Y+InFrontY(Link->Dir, 6);
mysword->Dir = Link->Dir;
if(mysword->Dir < 2){
  if(mysword->Dir == DIR_DOWN) mysword->Flip = 3;
}
else{
  mysword->OriginalTile += 1;
  mysword->Tile = mysword->OriginalTile;
  if(mysword->Dir == DIR_LEFT) mysword->Flip = 1;
  mysword->Y += 3;
}
// slash the bushes
int loc = ComboAt(TouchedX()+InFrontX(mysword->Dir,4),TouchedY()+InFrontY(mysword->Dir,4));
bool playsound = true;
if(Screen->ComboT[loc] == CT_BUSH) Screen->ComboD[loc] = 0;
else if(Screen->ComboT[loc] == CT_TALLGRASS) Screen->ComboD[loc] = 0;
else if(Screen->ComboT[loc] == CT_BUSHNEXT) Screen->ComboD[loc] += 1;
else if(Screen->ComboT[loc] == CT_TALLGRASSNEXT) Screen->ComboD[loc] += 1;
else playsound = false;
if(playsound){
  // CreateGraphicAt(92,ComboX(loc),ComboY(loc)); // external function to create the graphic of a slashed bush
  Game->PlaySound(SFX_GRASSCUT);
  // ItemSetAt(IS_COMBOS,loc); // external function to randomly create an item
}
}
else Remove(mysword);


}
else{
  //Bounceback after hitting a wall
  NoAction();
...

You will need a little bit of work to implement this in your script, but anyway, this is just to give you a suggestion

[Rastael]

Thank you very much.

But I get some errors:

Function "mysword" is undeclared

But I think, i fixed that with writing "bool mysword;" on the top of the script.
[Edit: OK, "bool mysword;" doesn't fixed that...]


And the other errors:

Function "TouchedX" is undeclared

Function "TouchedY" is undeclared

I don't know, how to fix that.
Can you help me again please?

mysword is not a bool it's a variable and it is declared in the script.

Make sure you have :

CODE

import "std.zh"

on top of the script file.

Edited by Christian, 16 December 2010 - 12:27 PM.

[Rastael]

I'm using about 20 scripts, so, yes, there is "import std.zh" on the top of my script file.

But thank you. ^^

[Kite]

"mysword" is probably an lweapon. While the script does try to set mysword, it doesn't have an actual initialization.

Try this at the top of the script:

CODE

lweapon mysword;

As for TouchedX() and TouchedY(), those are user created functions. You would need those functions from the person that provided the script to you for the script to be closer to working.

Edited by Nick, 17 December 2010 - 02:50 PM.

[Zepinho]

Yes, sorry,
you have to declare mysword:

CODE

lweapon mysword;

Also, you have to include these functions:

CODE

int TouchedX(){
int x;
if(Link->Dir == DIR_UP)         x = Link->X+8;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_DOWN)  x = Link->X+8;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_LEFT)  x = Link->X-2;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_RIGHT) x = Link->X+18;
return x;
}

int TouchedY(){
int y;
if(Link->Dir == DIR_UP)         y = Link->Y+6;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_DOWN)  y = Link->Y+18;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_LEFT)  y = Link->Y+8;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_RIGHT) y = Link->Y+8;
return y;
}

Tell me if there is anything else missing.
I have a very complicated set of scripts split among different files...

[symbiote01]

I just implemented a version of this (minus the TouchedX and TouchedY stuff, which I worked out for myself) for my quest, that requires you to have the Pegasus Boots and a sword in A and B (or B and A, if you want), and also have an item 'Scroll: Dash Attack' to work. (If A is sword and B is Pegasus Boots and Link has the scroll, or if A is Pegasus Boots and B is sword and Link has the scroll, then DashAttack = true). The weapon's graphic and Damage change depending on which sword you have.

My version cuts grass like a dream, but:
Telling it to UseSprite(0) gave me no weapon at all, so I defined it's ->Tile instead.
In order to keep it from just drawing dozens of swords in a straight line whenever I ran, I put in a ->Deadstate time of 4, which makes the sword vanish after 4 frames (about as long as it takes for Link to rush past it). It doesn't like to cut bushes, though it will on occasion. I'm also having problems with it not damaging enemies, however (probably something on my end, as I am a very novice scripter).

I am very curious as to know if

CODE

ItemSetAt(IS_COMBOS,loc);

actually works, and if so, if the code for it could be shared. This would be of great help.

[Rastael]

Thank you.

But there is still another problem with "lweapon mysword;":

Errormessage:

Pointer Types (FFC, ETC) cannot be declared as global variables

Where should I declare it?

I declared it on the top of my script after

//Input Constants Pegasusboots
const int CF_DASH = 101; //Flag that Link can't dash through if walkable, and will break if solid
const int SFX_DASH = 82; //Dashing SFX
const int SFX_HITWALL = 84; //Hitting a wall
const int SFX_PEGASUSBREAK = 85; //SFX to play when breaking a Pegasus Boot block
const int T_DUST = 943; //Dust Kick-up tile
const int DustAFrames = 6; //Dust Kick-up animation frames
const int DustASpeed = 4; //Dust Kick-up animation speed
const int DustCSet = 8; //Dust Kick-up CSet
const int DashSFXLength = 9; //Time between repeating Dash SFX

//Variables
bool PegasusDash;
bool PegasusCollision;
int DashCounter;

lweapon mysword;
int TouchedX(){
int x;
if(Link->Dir == DIR_UP) x = Link->X+8;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_DOWN) x = Link->X+8;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_LEFT) x = Link->X-2;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_RIGHT) x = Link->X+18;
return x;
}

int TouchedY(){
int y;
if(Link->Dir == DIR_UP) y = Link->Y+6;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_DOWN) y = Link->Y+18;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_LEFT) y = Link->Y+8;
else if(Link->Dir == DIR_RIGHT) y = Link->Y+8;
return y;
}

[Gleeok]

Somewhere inside the ffc script outside the scope of PegasusCollision... probably right after "void run().

[Rastael]

There is no ffc-script.

This is an item-/global-script.

And after the voidrun(); of the global script doesn't work...
