So will this:

CODE

item script heart container{ void run(int m){ Screen->Message(m);  Waitframe(); Link-HP = MaxHP; } } }

re-fill link's health every time a heart container or a heart peice is picked up? And also plays a pick up string with it? Any errors i wrote?

[Surreal Canine]

As a matter of fact, yes there is an error. The last statement should be

CODE

Link->HP = Link-> MaxHP;

and there should only be two closing braces at the end.

Don't use Waitframe(). It's the same as Quit() in item scripts, since they only run for one frame.

Don't use Waitframe(). It's the same as Quit() in item scripts, since they only run for one frame.

Unless you put it in a while() loop, in which case it'll stop the game from freezing. So yeah, take the Waitframe()out, and I'd say you should probably put the HP statement before the message statement.

Even better, edit the item itself to completely fill your HP when you pick it up. Just change "Increase Counter" on the Pickup tab to 384.

Thanks

CODE

const int S_PICKUP = 0;//String to play when a heart container is picked up      item script HeartContainer{ void run(){ Link->HP = Link->MaxHP; Screen->Message(S_PICKUP); }//end of void run   }//end of script

that will do

[Aslion]

CODE

const int S_PICKUP = 0;//String to play when a heart container is picked up
item script HeartContainer{ void run(){ Link->HP = Link->MaxHP; Screen->Message(S_PICKUP);
}//end of void run
  }//end of script

Didn't compile for me unless it was arranged like that. Easier to read too.

[Saffith]

Yeah, be careful if you're writing scripts on one line like that. Comments last to the end of the line, so you commented out the entire script.

[Joe123]

Mm, that'd be because in drzchulo's version he's started a new line halfway through a comment.

I'm assuming you didn't actually arrange it like that when you wrote it drz (dyumind if I call you drz?)?
It's obviously really quite difficult to read when you put it out on one line like that.

And you do need Waitframe() in an infinite while loop to stop it crashing Sillycat, but for that reason you can't have an infinite while loop in an item script (unless you just wanna crash the system).
Once it hits Waitframe(), the script ends.

[Aslion]

Tweaked it a little. This does the same thing, except D0 is the number of the string to play.

CODE

item script HeartContainer{
void run(int m){
Link->HP = Link->MaxHP;
Screen->Message(m);
}
  }

And I'm assuming that this one will do that same thing, but with Magic.

CODE

item script MagicContainer{
void run(int m){
Link->MP = Link->MaxMP;
Screen->Message(m);
}
  }

Almost. You missed Link->HP.

[Aslion]

Whoops. I should fix that.

[Christian]

Of course joe you can call me "drz"(pronounced Dee-are-z) while i get my name changed and yeah, i totally forgot to move the script out of the comment,sorry about. Thanks lithium. I thought i added in the waitframe(); so when you pick it up, it will wait one frame then play the message

CODE

item script HeartContainer{
      void run(int s){
            Link->HP = Link->MaxHP;
            Screen->Message(s);
              }//End of void run
}//End of script

there, it's all fixed up and ready to go..just set D0 to the message it will play when the heart container is picked up and it will heal your health completely after it

set the script in the item pick-up tab.
