Quick and dirty hands-on approach to PAS-RPG

Hey, sorry for being the stupid one here, but can someone explain the r_loop_inv command? Also, CP, I understand Hirato's tutorial. The addendum helped a lot. Thanks for those great tuts, Hirato and wildflower!

Correct me if I'm wrong Hirato.

Java, you're invoking a loop of the inventory. However, each time it "finds" the item it'll add a new stat instead of overwriting the other one. Then it'll also get the proper amount as well. At least, from looking at it that's what I see.

[Hirato]

I added a line to echo what is being looted and updated the howto with the new loot code.

Code: Select all

r_loop_inv self item [ // If dead, then loop through the inventory
    echo (format "You find %1 %2" (r_get_amount item) (r_get_name item)) // for every item echo amount and name
    r_additem player (r_get_base item) (r_get_amount item) // add to player inventory
    r_remove self (r_get_base item) (r_get_amount item) // remove from npc inventory
]

You probably do not want to give the player the raw indices, so the following would probably be a better script

Code: Select all

r_loop_inv self item [ // loop through the inventory of self, iteratively assigning the items to item
    r_select_item (r_get_base item) [ //select the item's definition based on its index
        echo (format "You found %1 x %2" (r_get_amount item) (r_item_name_get)) //prints the amount and the item's name
    ]
    r_additem player (r_get_base item) (r_get_amount item) // add to player inventory
    r_remove self (r_get_base item) (r_get_amount item) // remove from npc inventory
]

I'm sorry to say that I have no idea why it's bad to give raw indices, but since you actually know what you are talking about (in stark contrast to me), I'll go with your solution

Hmmm... Looks like I should take another look at that section.

I think I get the "r_loop_inv" command now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are we not supposed to replace "item" with the name of the item? If so, I understand! If not, I'm stupider than Dumb and Dumber put together.

I`m Still Confused About This

I'm working on a video tutorial. It'll be out soon enough.

No you don't have to replace anything for this to work, every time the loop finds an item it is defined as "item", so when you later call "r_get_amount item" you get the amount of "item", to simplify:

Look in inventory for items, if an item is found, call it "item" so you can reference it later as "item"
remove "item" from npc
add "item" to player
repeat (when the loop goes through second time and a new item is found, it becomes "item")

so how would I reset the map without changing the folders in my directory?

EDIT: If you didnt get what I ment, I ment if I made a new game, it would go to PlatinumArtsSandbox2.7.1\my_stuff\data\rpg\saves, not PlatinumArtsSandbox2.7.1\data\rpg\games...so I dont know what to do
