Your scripts / Custom delay for dialogs
« Last post by boaromayo on March 06, 2019, 02:22:36 pm »This feature took two and a half hours of programming and testing last night to get this right, but here it is!
I made some modifications to the dialog_box.lua script in the Solarus 1.6 sample quest. For this script add-on, the dialog can pause for any amount of time instead of using the default dialog box script, which only allows for a 1-second delay.
To get this working, use the '$' character, along with the '|' (pipe) character, then in between brackets, set the amount of time (in milliseconds) the dialog is paused, like so:
$|[sec]: the delay in milliseconds (Don't forget the '|' character!)
Sample dialog here:
Note: When editing the dialogs.dat file directly, you will have to type a backslash before putting in the brackets. When handling it in the editor, it's not needed.
Here is the script in action:
The modified dialog box.lua script is attached below (script is under the GNU GPL v3 license, script author by Christopho, special thanks to him!).

The sprite sheet and date files will be posted certainly tomorrow.In fact, this monster looks a lot like the original made by LUNARSIGNALS. It's a kind of Yokai.

Your scripts / Simple Leveling up system
« Last post by Miguelink 64 on March 05, 2019, 05:31:12 am »Hello, while I was doing my homework I got an idea from a simple algorithm I solved in my head (I get really bored making homework), I coded it, put it to test and everything works fine. Since I won't use it for my game, I'll share it here in case someone else who is new on programming (like me) or just too lazy wants to add a leveling system to their game, here it is:
Welp, have fün.
Code: [Select]
-- Leveling up System by Miguelink 64.
-- First make a leveling up item on your items folder, I used a +2 to max hp for every level up.
-- heart_container
local item = ...
local game = item:get_game()
function item:on_obtaining()
game:add_max_life(2)
game:set_life(game:get_max_life())
end
-- Add to your dialogs a _treasure dialog for the item, mine says "Level up!".
-- You must copy this script to your enemies you want to give you exp.
local exp = 1 -- Change this to the wanted experience given by killing the enemy.
function enemy:on_dead()
if game:get_value("level") ~= game:get_value("max_level") then
game:set_value("experience",game:get_value("experience") + exp)
if game:get_value("experience") >= game:get_value("max_experience") then -- Checks if you can level up
hero:start_treasure("heart_container") -- You can change this for your leveling up item.
game:set_value("max_experience",game:get_value("max_experience") * 2) -- Doubles the amount needed to level up next time.
game:set_value("experience",0) -- Resets experience
game:set_value("level",game:get_value("level") + 1) -- Level up
end
end
end
-- You must copy this script to your initial game script under
-- function initial_game:initialize_new_game(game)
game:set_value("max_experience",50) -- Max experience needed to level up from level 1 to level 2
game:set_value("experience",0) -- Creates experience
game:set_value("max_level",20) -- Max level achievable
game:set_value("level",1) -- Start at level 1
Welp, have fün.

« Last post by froggy77 on March 04, 2019, 10:05:28 pm »Preview of the first dungeon door that I will post normally tomorrow. Just a few final checks before posting the sprite sheet.
I'm inspired by a creation of LUNARSIGNALS (on OGA; see https://opengameart.org/content/overhead-action-rpg-forest).
The other two dungeon entrances will be posted after and are more similar to her/his work.They are doors and enemies at the same time.
It is a kind of teaser
in a 400% zoom.
The same monster but when it has been defeated:

EDIT: Voilà. See attachment files. boss_slime.dat sholud be placed in a folder named "enemies. The other two dat files should be place with "doors"

EDIT2: New dungeon_door_slime_dat_files.zip, because "dying" animation should not loop in boss_slime.dat

Lots of that kind of different perspectives and ideas just comes from familiarity with the toolset of the API, it'll come in time!

« Last post by gmanplays@gmail.com on March 04, 2019, 06:44:07 am »See, that's why I come here. I would've never thought to use another type of enemy because of my association of (practically) inanimate vines with the inanimate hammer pegs. No, there wasn't I was just making an effort. Thanks for giving me the perspective, and I'll make sure to color-code next time.
