[SOLVED] SCI0 - Globalizing my local death sheet Script

[doomlazer]

If I'm understanding the current issue correctly, your iterator is displaying all possible deaths listed in 650.txt, not just the ones that have happened to the player?

No, the iteration is working properly. It's only showing the ones that have their conditions met.

The thing I'm having problems with is writing the code to properly display them in a window, and then closing that window. I build the code in a random roomscript and it works, but I'm not able to make it its own script (so that I can trigger it from say, the menubar)

I tested this in the SCI0 template and it "works"

Code: [Select]

;;; Sierra Script 1.0 - (do not remove this comment)
(script# 777)
(include sci.sh)
(use Main)
(use SysWindow)
(use Obj)

(public
theInvSheet 0
)



(class InvSheet of Obj
(properties
nsTop 10
nsLeft 10
nsBottom 40
nsRight 160
theWindow 0
)

(method (init &tmp i temp1 y [str 40])
(super init:)
(= theWindow
(NewWindow nsTop nsLeft nsBottom nsRight {} 0 -1 clBLUE clWHITE)
)

;your iterate over deaths code here
(Display
(Format @str {You have died test times:} )
dsCOORD 10 10
)
                ;end iterate code
)

(method (doit &tmp newEvent newEventType)
(= newEventType 0)
(while (not newEventType)
(GlobalToLocal (= newEvent (Event new:)))
(= newEventType (newEvent type?))
(newEvent dispose:)
)
(self dispose:)
)

(method (dispose)
(DisposeWindow theWindow)
(super dispose:)
(DisposeScript 206)
)
)

;;;(procedure (deathCountIterator)
;;; (Display
;;; (Format @str 650 i)
;;; dsCOORD 20 textDown
;;; dsFONT 4
;;; )
;;; (= textDown (+ textDown 9))
;;;)

(instance theInvSheet of InvSheet
(properties)
)


call the window with:

Code: [Select]

((ScriptID 777 0) init: doit:)

Great! That worked perfectly once I incorporated my iteration code.

I think the thing I was really missing out on was what class to make it. I think I was confused when I tried to follow the QfG1 script's direction when I also made it of the object class, but Companion didn't like that because I didn't realize in the template game the class is Obj (and the capital O matters!)

Thanks for helping me troubleshoot this. It feels really good to have this squared away.

That decompile archive is a valuable reference, once you get used to a few minor differences from the template game. You can basically just look up how the Sierra devs solved these problems.
