Okay, I have made my first foray into scripting. I typed a link script and saved it. I know it is there and that it works, but is there any way that I can actually view what I typed into the script?

There's a scripts tab in your storygame that has all the scripts in your game.

Yes, but when I open the script, it shows only the blank editor.

Are you sure you're going to the right script? Add me as co-author for a minute or take a screen shot to show what you're doing.

You're added.

I see two link scripts.

Link - prepare yourself and Link - Direct a gust of wind at him. Both can be clicked and both have scripts inside of them.

So I'm not really sure what the issue is.

Still, it's not showing me the scripts inside them. It might be something about the settings.

Maybe. Try doing it in a different browser or something.

Boom! Thank you, Firefox. And you too, Killa. I'm gonna go ahead and remove you from the co-author list, if you don't mind.

I already removed myself, but okay haha.

Oh, I forgot they added that feature. Anyway, you have proved most helpful. I wish there was some way I could compensate you for your help, but there really isn't. Thank you, regardless.

Um, usually, you use the word "compensate" when you have wronged somebody. Did you wronged Killa?

No, I meant compensate as in "compensate you for your time". It simply means to clear any perceived debt.
 

Don't be so pedantic.

Or, you know, you can see them on the actual page of the link that you scripted. How goes scripting, anyhow? :D

Well, that wasn't working for me either, but I would say it's going good. I'm working on a few games that would benefit from the inclusion of scripting. So, I've been doing stuff like:

MONSTHP:=MONSTHP-PLYRDAM

A dash? What for? Also, don't forget to include the percentage signs. They're essential. 

Oh yes, and $ for system variables. Sorry, I have included them when scripting. Trust me. You're much better than I am, so you may receive a pm or two asking for advice.

Sure. No problem. :D

But one last question. Why is there a dash in one of your variable? You know that variables can only contain numbers and letters, right?

(It's probably a minus sign)

Oh. He didn't put a space between them. I know you don't have to, but I usually do it, to make the codes easier to read. 

MONSTHP:= MONSTHP - PLYRDAM

What do they stand for? xD

MONSTHP is a variable representing the hp of an enemy. It is set immediately before a fight.

PLYRHP is a variable representing the hp of the player.

MONSTMAXHP is a variable representing the max hp of a monster. It is set immediately before a fight.

PLYRMAXHP is a variable representing the max hp of the character. 

MONSTDAM is a variable representing the damage inflicted by an enemy.

PLYRDAM is a variable representing the damage inflicted by the player. It changes depending on the type of attack.

I see. That's a good start! 

Thanks. I can let you look over the game sometime, if you would like.

Sure. I'll take a look. 

It's nowhere near presentable right now, though, and I'm working on setting up a few good fights. I'll get back to you when it's a little closer to being done.

I'll be here, when you do. (Hopefully. xD)

Okie Dokie.
