so i have a script, and here is what it SHOULD do: if you stand on it, have 3 or more triforce pieces (not the first 3 specifically, since this is like a banjo-kazooie or mario 64 style thing where you can get them in any order.) it teleports you to another screen. here is my script:

ffc script TriforceWarp{
void run(int map, int scr){
while(true){
if ( LinkCollision(this) && NumTriforcePieces() >= 3 ) Link->PitWarp(map,scr);
Waitframe();
}
}
}


does anyone have an idea why it doesnt work?

You don't need to put a ; at the end of "while(true)". Also, do you have "this" defined as anything?

That looks like it should work, actually. (The ; after the while shouldn't be there, but I don't think it'll actually mess anything up.)
I'm guessing it's probably an error in your setup? You're placing the ffc on the screen with a non-0 combo, and setting the script and arguments right, and all that?
You'll probably need to stick a few Traces in there to debug, maybe.

well, crap. i forgot to set the freeform combo to the script. it still doesnt do anything though ;.;

this just means the freeform combo, i thought. also, the simicolon there was a mistake fixed it.

False.

 

A ; after while(true) is very dangerous, because it marks the end of the loop there. Not only will you have an empty while loop, you will have a while loop that freezes the game, due to the waitframe never being reached.

 

Anyways, are you setting D0 and D1 in the FFC options to the map number and Screen? Also, I believe warping runs on DMaps, not Maps, so you might not have your DMaps set up. A DMap is basically data of what map an area should use, what color it will be, etc.

That wasn't the case though. It wasn't:

while(true);

, it was

while(true) {;

. So that statement group will open with a blank statement, but it should still run.
