Creating messages

[dino-in-a-box]

Hi,

I've asked in the wrong section:

I've seen a message in the map named 'village' when you go to the 'baker'!
And now I want to make messages too but I don't know how to do it!
Is there a tutorial or can you help me?

I've got a link...
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1302
... but I don't know what I would need from there.

One example: 'I want a message to pop up when I go to 'Ogre Red'
(I've put the 'Ogre Red' on my map) that says: 'I want you to pickup
20 'Ground lamps' (I know how to pickup objects) with an 'OK' button!

Thanks!

Ahh, like a gui?

I'll see if i can find one, but search "making a gui" (without "'s)

Alright, catering to your specific details...

Code: Select all

on_start = [
ground-lamps = 0
]

level_trigger_1 = [showgui npc1-1]
newgui npc1-1 [
guitext "I want you to find 20 ground lamps."
guibar
guibutton "Okay." [cleargui]
] "Ogre red"

If you don't want "Ogre red" to be the title/name of the character, replace it within the quotation marks ("Name goes here")

Everyones so simple... I can make it look fairly good. Here:

Code: Select all

on_start = [
    ground-lamps = 0
]

level_trigger_1 = [showgui npc1-1]
level_trigger_2 = [*add mathematic string here*]

newgui npc1-1 [
    guitext "I want you to find 20 ground lamps."
    guibar
    if (> $ground-lamps 19) [
        guibutton (format "I have %1 ground lamps!" $ground-lamps)    [showgui npc1-2]
    ]
    if (< $ground-lamps 19) [
        guibutton "Okay." [cleargui]
    ]
] "Ogre red"

newgui npc1-2 [
    guitext "Ah, Good work!"
    guitext "Heres a reward... Although, You should choose one!"
    guibar
    guibutton "reward 1"    [echo "you got a *reward name*" ; *insert mathematic string here* ; showgui npc1-2-2]
    guibutton "reward 2"    [echo "you got a *reward name*" ; *insert mathematic string here* ; showgui npc1-2-2]
    guibutton "reward 3"    [echo "you got a *reward name*" ; *insert mathematic string here* ; showgui npc1-2-2]
]

newgui npc1-2-2 [
    guitext "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
    guibar
    guibutton "No thanks"    [echo "Okay, Goodbye!" ; cleargui]
    guibutton "option" [do whatever]
    guibutton "option" [do whatever]
]

Hope this helps.

Lots of thanks for your answers!
My problem: I've already made many games with Platinum Arts Sandbox
(I found it all very self-explanatory) but I've never added a script to a game before
and therefore don't know how to do it.
If it's too difficult to explain I would be happy to read a tutorial about it.
Thanks again!

The code I sent in the post above yours would go in "*mapnname*.cfg", usually accessed through the CFG edito in the Editing GUI menu. Most of the scripting is easy to do, and maps are stored with the CFG files in my_stuff/packages/base/*mode*/

Any more questions, Let me know.
