The intermediate scripting article will be released very soon! I hope you guys will read it and expand your knowledge on the adv editor and hopefully, if i have done my job correctly, the ease of making a game using variables, etc. will become much easier!

cool thx solo!!!

im hoping i can get it done tonight and have it published (i.e. proof read and all) by the morning.

Its currently being edited, should be out in a few days.

http://www.chooseyourstory.com/help/articles/article.aspx?ArticleId=46 -link to see what it is currently

I will do an article that is based on spagetti code (sp) and organized code.

Solo, how do I spell that word that means "fake code" ~ pheusocode

pseudocode? that what you mean? ok, so you said solo but im just trying to help lol sorry.

nate

Well, if you know it too, you can help.

psuedo code?

It's one word and in definition psuedo means fake.  It sounds like sudoko but with the last syllable as code instead of ko.

no no, i know what it is, alex already told me remember ;) anyways what i was asking is if that is what you wanted..

there is nt much to write on this though, because the scripting is very limited in funtions, the only REAL function is the conditional statements, so basically, keep all your condition statements organized as in dont have multiple IF THEN statements when an IF ELSE IF statement will do and dont forget to comment your code, if that has been implemented...

Well, if there are a few more things that come in, I.E. modules or subsections (same thing).

Start
Action A
Action B
ModuleA()
Action C
End

It'b be nice to do something like that...

I would like modules I could access from any script.  Can you even think of the possibilities you could do with that?

what do you mean modules? liek a function, eg.

$FUNCTIONRESET =

$DEST = @C1

END $FUNCTIONRESET

and then throughou tthe game, you can call upon this function as so

$FUNCTIONRESET

 

is that what you mean?

A module would be a subset of code that you could create from the Global Scripts page that you can access anytime by putting in some kind of code.  Possible this:

OPEN moduleName()

After the module hit's it's last exit, it goes to the next task as it would in my small list above 3-4 posts.

It'd also make it easier to take out some programming code from you story/game and share it with others for something like a level up system:

levelUp()
Start
If %EXP > 0
%level := %level + 1
%attack := %attack + 1
...
#more things can be added there like defense and stuff.

Else
End

Your global link script could show:

start
task a
levelUp()
task b
end

so basically a "yes" to my question...

I couldn't really understand what yours meant...
