Hello Guys.

 

I need some scripts in my own Quest Zephyrian Conquest.

 

I'm too busy to learn scripting and I s**k at it because of the requirement of high level maths knowledge.

 

Can you post one script that does this:

• When a specific Enemy is on the screen it should play the MIDI or enhanced music (as seen in Flow of Time:Remastered).
• After it has been defeated it has to switch back to MIDI or another enhanced music.
• This should work on both non-ghosted and ghosted enemies.

I hope you understand that. Thank you for your regards.

Hey
I've found this script in the database: http://www.purezc.ne...e=scripts&id=23
It does what you want, except it doesn't check for a specific enemy, but any enemy on a specific Screen. Does that work for you?

[Sparkster]

I don't think this would help. What kind of NPC do you mean with?

 

I mean in Flow of Time:Remastered where was enhanced music when a boss or mid-boss was in room. And it switched to MIDI again after you defeated him

[Avaro]

Yes the script is used for boss music in boss rooms.

requirement of high level maths knowledge.

False! If you can:

• Add
• Subtract
• Multiply
• Divide
• Read
• Write
• Learn

You can script. Higher level math can be used in scripting, but it is not a requirement. When I don't understand how do do something, I typically just find a function that does it for me.

 

That said, if you're just too busy that's understandable.

 

For the script you requested, the one Avataro linked will work fine. Enemies are called NPCs in ZScript. Of course it won't work for enhanced music because enhanced music uses a file name, not a number. In order to have a script play enhanced music, you'd need to modify the script itself.

[Sparkster]

Ahh Ok.
Obderhodes Flow of Time Remastered has such a script that plays enhanced music for an Npc.

I found something that a member called Orithan wanted:

Enhanced music set by script:

 

Is a combination of this chunk of code possible?

Spoiler

int filename[] = "OHHHH_it's_a_enhanced_music.ogg";
bool PlayEnhancedMusic(filename, 0);

ffc script EnemyMusic
{
	void run(int bmidi, int nmidi)
	{
		while(true)
		{
			if (Screen->NumNPCs() != 0)
			{
				Game->PlayMIDI(bmidi);
			}
			else
			{
				Game->PlayMIDI(nmidi);
			}
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

If you say that I have to do this by myself, wish me good luck to do it.

Triple post I know but I don't want to wait soooo long for an answer.

I tried it by myself with this code.

int filename[] = "Boss Battle 1.ogg";
bool PlayEnhancedMusic(int filename);

ffc script EnemyMusic
{
	void run(int filename, int nmidi);
	{
		while(true)
		{
			if (Screen->NumNPCs() != 0)
			{
				Game->PlayEnhancedMusic(int filename);
			}
			else
			{
				Game->PlayMIDI(nmidi);
			}
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

Well it doesn't work... this error cames out.

 

Pass 1: Parsing
line 2: syntax error, unexpected SEMICOLON, expecting LBRACE, on token ;
Fatal Error P00: Can't open or parse input file!

 

Can you help me?

[justin]

you have a whole bunch of errors there, the compiler is just catching the first one.

 

try this, untested.  it takes no arguments.  it will just play one enhanced music file that is hardcoded.  it'll play it if there are enemies on screen.  if there are no longer enemies on screen it'll play the midi that would normally play on that dmap.

 

ffc script EnemyMusic
{
    void run();
    {
        int filename[] = "Boss Battle 1.ogg";
        int cmidi = Game->GetMIDI();
 
        while(true)
        {            
             if (Screen->NumNPCs() != 0)
            {
                Game->PlayEnhancedMusic(filename,0);
            }
            else
            {
                Game->PlayMIDI(cmidi);
                Quit();
            }
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

Using the std.zh header on top I tested it and it won't compile. The error is:

 

Pass 1: Parsing
line 5: syntax error, unexpected SEMICOLON, expecting LBRACE, on token ;
Fatal Error P00: Can't open or parse input file!

 

EDIT: Compiled successfully by taking out the semicolon on the void run but the Enhanced music doesn't play when enemies are on the screen it just plays the DMAP midi.

Is your music filename exactly the same as in the script? Is it in the same directory as zc?

[Sparkster]

Yes. It is.

[justin]

Oh, right after the void run(){ add line

Waitframes(5);

[Sparkster]

Ok. Now it's a bit better but...

 

I can't hear the enhanced music while NPCs are on it. Only switching to the DMAP MIDI works fine.

[justin]

ok, let's try this...

 

ffc script EnemyMusic
{
    void run()
    {
        Waitframes(5);
        int filename[] = "Boss Battle 1.ogg";
        int cmidi = Game->GetMIDI();
        Game->PlayEnhancedMusic(filename,0);
        while(Screen->NumNPCs() != 0) Waitframe();
        Game->PlayMIDI(cmidi);
    }
}
