dc, you're missing a lot of basic knowledge. People are pretty much wasting time explaining to you what the simplest things are, when you could go and read a tutorial peacefully. Then come here when you have troubles with actual scriptcore-specific stuff

[DarkCrusade]

If you´d had said that the way you did now there would be not much of a problem. You are right when you say that I miss a lot of knowledge, but I´m getting into it I think.


EDIT: Basically my script is ready. I already fixed all bugs (5 without asking, what do you say now ) and worked on the balance of the classes. Right now there are 5 classes that have really different gameplay. Now I need a host for the script to test it with real players since I cannot host it on my home computer because of my WLAN connection ... any free server hosting services around?

[squiddy]

Wish I could help you, but I am brazilian, and if you guys entered my server, it would be laggy.

Plus, my computer is broken. I am typing now from my mom's notebook.

Congratulations about your Script

Gonna test it someday

[DarkCrusade]

This is an urgent problem. The server expects an identifier in line 182:1 but the script doesn´t include any errors and should be working. The things I changed were changing the name of Berserker to Crusher, Mage to Alchemist, adding lowered damage for the Crusher and "exploding" knives for the Alchemist.

Code: [Select]

Function OnPlayerDamage(Victim, Shooter: Byte; Damage: Integer): Integer;
var Dam,Chance: Integer;                 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THIS LINE
begin

// Crusher (additional damage(10-15))

if Klasse[Shooter] = 'Crusher' then begin
Dam := Random(10,15);
             Result := Damage + Dam;
end else Result := Damage;

// Crusher (additional damage(10-15))

if Klasse[Victim] = 'Crusher' then begin
Dam := Random(10,15);
             Result := Damage - Dam;
end else Result := Damage;

// Thief (additional selfdamage)

if Klasse[Victim] = 'Thief' then begin
Dam := Random(5,25);
             Result := Damage + Dam;
end else Result := Damage;

// Alchemist (exploding knives)

if Klasse[Shooter] = 'Alchemist' then begin
Chance := Random(1,2);
if Chance = 1 then begin
CreateBullet(GetPlayerStat(Victim,'x'), GetPlayerStat(Victim,'y') - 500, 0, 0, 100, 4, Shooter);
end;
end;

Can you send the whole script because i dont know where is the line 182:1

[DarkCrusade]

I marked the line. I won´t upload the whole script until the next version is ready.

[mich1103]

Hmmmm which line get an error ?

[Swompie]

Out of my expierence you may forgot a begin/end above OnPlayerDamage; Actually not 100% sure, but look if it is so :p

[Gizd]

Hmmmm which line get an error ?

I marked the line.[...]

Learn to read.

If it says 182 the error is in 181 so you forgot an end.

[Swompie]

Code: [Select]

   Chance := Random(1,2);
   if Chance = 1 then beginThis will always true since Random(Min, Max: integer) will never return the actual set Max value.
Use Max + 1 to prevent that.

[DorkeyDear]

@Swompie: In addition, for note, I think (not 100% certain) next scripting core, max value is included in the Random function.

[DarkCrusade]

Thanks for the advice. After that little issue in line 182 I fixed a number of bugs and now the script is working again perfectly

[squiddy]

Damn, Swompie was faster

He is correct though. Random(Min, Max) will return all values from Min to Max - 1.

For instance, Random(1,2); would return 1 and 1.

Random(1,3); would return 1 and 2.

See what we mean ?

And, you did miss an end back there.

Try using NotePad++ to prevent this kind of errors. It's awesome.

[DarkCrusade]

I´m arleady using that stuff and fixed all bugs, thanks (and I understand the thing about Random )

[squiddy]

Good :]

I just posted it there in case you didn't.

I like to cover all possibilities

Any more questions/doubts, feel free to ask

[DarkCrusade]

So I want to practice more but I´m running out of ideas. I have some other projects going but before I go on with them I must learn some more of Soldat Pascal. Any ideas what I could do?

[dnmr]

do a barrel roll.

But seriously, if you have completely no ideas, rip something off. Something you like and know well. Like FF or smth. At least it'll keep you entertained and motivated for some time

[DarkCrusade]

Had after all some ideas:

- Mountain climbing script (save/load (no buddy system), health restore)
- PunishBot (kicks spammers and bans them for x minutes (nearly finished)

[squiddy]

If you need help, I can help you.

Plus, I've made a Buddy Script a few weeks ago.

I'd be glad to help ya

[DarkCrusade]

Thank you, man
