The shop script uses an FFC for each individual item- meaning you could put 32 items in a shop if you wanted to. And it would help BOTH of us A LOT if you gave us more details. The way you presented your needs just makes you sound helpless and stupid, which I'm sure you aren't.

The details I'm looking for are: WHICH shop script, (there are like 3 versions which are each set up differently) and WHICH ladder script? (sideview ladder, general climbing, etc..?) If you had given those details earlier, I would have had no need to be rude and would have been happy to help.

Looking back on my posts I was a little stupid.

The Climbing Script is for general climbing in overhead view.

Here it is: (Copied and pasted from Fort Knights...

CODE

ffc script climbing{
    void run(int speed, int combotype , int dummy){
        int framedelay;
        if(combotype == 0){combotype = 11;}
        if(speed == 0){speed = 1;}
        if(dummy == 0){dummy = 123;}
        while(true){
            if(Screen->ComboT[ComboAt(Link->X+8, Link->Y+9)] == combotype && Link->Z == 0){
                if(!Link->Item[dummy]){ Link->Item[dummy] = true;}
                if(Link->InputLeft && Link->Dir == DIR_LEFT){
                    if(framedelay == speed){Link->X = Link->X+1; framedelay = 0;}
                    else{framedelay++;}
                }
                if(Link->InputRight && Link->Dir == DIR_RIGHT){
                if(framedelay == speed){Link->X = Link->X-1; framedelay = 0;}
                    else{framedelay++;}
                }
                if(Link->InputUp && Link->Dir == DIR_UP){
                    if(framedelay == speed){Link->Y = Link->Y+1; framedelay = 0;}
                    else{framedelay++;}
                }
                if(Link->InputDown && Link->Dir == DIR_DOWN){
                    if(framedelay == speed){Link->Y = Link->Y-1; framedelay = 0;}
                    else{framedelay++;}
                }
                Link->InputA = false;
                Link->InputB = false;
                Link->InputL = false;
            }else{if(Link->Item[dummy]){ Link->Item[dummy] = false;}
            }
        Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

And that's it. If there's a better version of any of these scripts please let me know. Thanks!

[Beefster]

Oh boy. I don't know how the second is set up, but it looks like the first is set up like this:
D0-combotype is what type of combo the climber responds to.
D1-speed is like ASpeed in the combo editor. It's the delay of frames waited before moving Link over one pixel.
D2-dummy is the LTM item given to Link to give him the look of climbing.

I'd actually recommend MY versions of these scripts. They have comments and are easier to use, at least IMO.

CODE

lock = false;

            if(Screen->ComboT[ComboAt(Link->X+8, Link->Y+8)] == CT_WALKSLOW && Link->Action != LA_HOPPING) {
                LockDir = DIR_UP;
                lock = true;

                Link->Item[160] = true;

                Link->InputA = false;
                Link->InputB = false;
                Link->InputR = false;
                Link->InputL = false;
            }

            if(Screen->ComboT[ComboAt(Link->X+8, Link->Y+8)] != CT_WALKSLOW && Link->Item[160]) {
                Link->Item[160] = false;
                lock = false;
            }

Put that in the global script. It'll save you time. Also add an "int LockDir; bool lock = false;" with all the other global script declarations.

CODE

//Shop Item
//D0: Item ID
//D1: The price of the item
//D2: The starting tile for displaying the price. They should be ordered 0-9 in the tilespace.
//D3: The CSet for the price tiles
//D4: Whether or not the price tiles' transparent colors are respected.
//D5: Whether to sell the item more than once. Set to:
//-2 or less: Sell the item an infinite number of times.
//-1: Only sell it if Link does not have the item.
//0 or more: Set it to the selling index reference, so Link only buys it once per game.
//D6: Only used when D5 is -1 or greater. The tile used for the sold out sign.

With this version, you can have 32 items per shop instead of 5... But it's styled after the original shop style, so if you want the press A to buy thing, you'll have to use Matthew's script.

[Joe123]

I have a much better version of the climbing script now that doesn't need that silly invisible LTM.
I'll sort it out later.

And you don't want to be using that version of the shop script, that was Matthew's shop script, but butchered up by me to work specifically to the one shop in The Fort Knights.
You wouldn't want to use it anywhere else, trust me.
I'm sure Beefster's is much better.

Thanks, but I was kind of hoping for a press "A" shop script. And thanks for the explanation.

I have a much better version of the climbing script now that doesn't need that silly invisible LTM.
I'll sort it out later.

And you don't want to be using that version of the shop script, that was Matthew's shop script, but butchered up by me to work specifically to the one shop in The Fort Knights.

Could you post that climbing script? Thanks!

No, because I'm going on holiday in a few minutes.

But someone else might be able to re-write it for you.

Basically, it had the same checks for the ladders as the previous script, but it used Waitdraw(); and then set Link's Dir to 0 afterwards.
