My game is coming a long nicely. SCIStudio did crash after 1 hours work I had done the other day, but I won't let a little frusteration keep me down 

I take it you are the judge Cloudee1?

SCI Syntax Help / Re: Best suggestions for adding sound?

« on: January 14, 2007, 11:23:07 PM »

I tried out Doan's games that have links from this site and this guy is very good at what he does...even my excitement at finishing a one screen game has waned at trying out his games.

Yet...I still want to know more so that one day I may be able to write a game that Doan says...hey that game is pretty good.  Maybe 5 years from now.

Wow...thanks for the kind words! That really makes me get off my dead-butt and work on my new years game

SCI Syntax Help / Re: How to do special Death-handler code

« on: January 12, 2007, 11:44:32 AM »

1) How to make an actor kill you when you get too close -and-
2) How yo make an actor chase and kill you are very similar.

They could be done in the following way:

Code: [Select]

(method (doit)
  (super:doit)
  (var dyingScript)
  (if(< (send gEgo:distanceTo(knifeMan)) 15)
    = dyingScript ScriptID(DYING_SCRIPT)
    (send dyingScript:caller(3)
    register("Why so suprised? He was juggling knives.")
  )
(send gGame:setScript(dyingScript))
)
And to get the guy to follow Ego, you have to add the "follow" script to your room script. So with the ("use controls") and ("use main") you add ("use follow") and then make following Ego part of your actor:

Code: [Select]

(knifeMan:init()setCycle(Walk)setMotion(Follow gEgo))
3) How do you make an event happen when too close to a tree shredder -and-
4) Fall off a cliff and die -and-
5) Car run over and kill you when you walk out on the street all follow the same basic idea. Most likely you will want to set up control colors in your (method (doit) so that when your Ego steps on them you trigger the deathScript or an forced animation that ends with the deathScript.

Code: [Select]

(method (doit)
  (super:doit)
  (if(== (send gEgo: onControl()) ctlSILVER)
    = dyingScript ScriptID(DYING_SCRIPT)
    (send dyingScript: caller(100)
      register("Despite your heroic attempt to defy gravity's power, you ended up the worse for it.")
     )
   (send gGame:setScript(dyingScript))
)
I have not ran or tested any of the code, but I think it should be correct.

I am also a guitarist and the game is actually kind of fun...

But to be honest, for me, I lost interest within a week...
