Hey guys, ive been working on a script for random encounters.. basically if the chapter Id is the one that i want to have the random encounter s wwith, it rolls a die, if the die is 2, then it says "You have encoutnered somehting, and it rolls it again to see what exactly you have encountered.... for some reason, the code only evaluates until %Encounter := 1D2, it does not continue to reevaluate it to 1D100 if the roll is 2... do any of u have any idea what is wrong?

IF $CHAPTERID = 4 THEN

%ENCOUNTER := 1D2

IF %ENCOUNTER = 2 AND %SCORE <= 500 THEN

%ENCOUNTER := 1D100

IF %ENCOUNTER <= 19 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 60 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 69 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 35 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 44 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 90 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 100 THEN
$DEST := @C5

ELSE IF %ENCOUNTER >= 20 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 34 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 70 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 89 THEN
$DEST := @C6

ELSE IF %ENCOUNTER >= 50 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 59 THEN
$DEST := @C7

ELSE IF %ENCOUNTER >= 45 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 49 THEN 
$DEST := @C8

Wow. Thats long.

Shouldnt this be in the Advanced Editor forum?

If i knew anything Id help :S

First, when you use THEN command, follow it by a BEGIN line, and when you have finished telling it what the THEN should do, place an END line. If you don't, then EVERY line you type will be a part of the first THEN statement. (I think)

Ie,

-----------

IF %VARIABLE = 1 THEN
BEGIN
(what you want to happen)
END
Rest of your script....

--------------

You can have multpile THEN statements that affect each other, so:

--------------

IF %VARIABLE1 = 1 THEN
BEGIN
    IF %VARIABLE2 = 2 THEN
    BEGIN
        Make something happen
    END
END

---------------

Now, here's another statement that is impossible:

IF %ENCOUNTER <= 19 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 60 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 69 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 35 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 44 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 90 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 100 THEN
$DEST := @C5

Basically, a number can not be equal to or less than 19, and also be equal to or greater than 60. It just can't happen. A number is either lower than 19 OR greater than 60, but can not be both. So, make seperate statements:

-----------------

IF %ENCOUNTER <= 19 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END

IF %ENCOUNTER >=60 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 69 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END

IF %ENCOUNTER >=35 AND %ENCOUNTER <=44 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END

IF %ENCOUNTER >=90 AND %ENCOUNTER <=100 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END

----------

Also, don't use twenty ELSE commands. Just write new IF commands. You've got, for example:

IF %ENCOUNTER >= 10 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 14 THEN
$DEST := @C5

ELSE IF %ENCOUNTER <= 9 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 30 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 39 AND %ENCOUNTER >= 70 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 79 THEN
$DEST := @C6

ELSE IF %ENCOUNTER >= 55 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 59 THEN
%DEST := @C7

Make the second and third lines new IF commands, remove the ELSE's. That's not exactly how ELSE's are normally used. If a standard IF command will do the job, then just use an IF command - but remember to seperate the line into seperate IF commands for each group of numbers, or the program won't know what you want it to do.

I won't go through your entire script, but this should get you started. I hope it helps :)

are you sure BEGIN and END aren't part of the syntax, because if not, that could cause problems. Take this for example:

IF %VARIABLE1 = 5 THEN
BEGIN
$PAGETEXT := "This is a test"
END
IF %VARIABLE2 = 3 THEN
BEGIN
$PAGETEXT := "This is not a test"
END

IF %VARIABLE1 = 5 THEN
BEGIN
$PAGETEXT := "This is a test"
    IF %VARIABLE2 = 3 THEN
    BEGIN
    $PAGETEXT := "This is not a test"
    END
END

In the first example, in a normal programming language, both variable checks are considered seperate lines, and would both be run by the program. So, whether variable1 = 5 or not, the program would still check to see if variable2 = 3.

In the second example, unless Variable1 = 5, then the check on variable2 would NEVER be run be the program. It would only be run if Variable1 = 5, because it is included in the 'actions' the program takes IF variable1 = 5, because of where the BEGIN and END statements are placed in the script. Do you see what I mean? Do you think you can check for me, if the BEGIN and END commands actually do something or not, because it would have a big impact on the scripts I write, as where those two words are placed could alter the intent of the script entirely.

Alright, so ive changed all my code to what you suggested, and it still does  not work. It does not evaluate past 1D2 for ENCOUNTER. the following is a part one of my code...

IF $CHAPTERID = 4 THEN
BEGIN
%ENCOUNTER := 1D2

IF %ENCOUNTER = 2 AND %SCORE <= 500 THEN
BEGIN
%ENCOUNTER := 1D100

IF %ENCOUNTER <= 19 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END
IF %ENCOUNTER >= 60 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 69 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END
IF %ENCOUNTER >= 35 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 44 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END
IF %ENCOUNTER >= 90 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 100 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END
IF %ENCOUNTER >= 20 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 34 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C6
END
IF %ENCOUNTER >= 70 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 89 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C6
END
IF %ENCOUNTER >= 50 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 59 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C7
END
IF %ENCOUNTER >= 45 AND %ENCOUNTER <= 49 THEN 
BEGIN
$DEST := @C8
END
END
END

Awesome!!

Well that script looks completely fine, I dont get it.

HANG ON.

You said Roll Enounter 1D2, what if it rolled a 1?  You only speciifed what happens if it rolls a 2.

Now the following script is not evaluating $CHAPTERID = 4, its basically occuring right after i hit the first link in my game, and it keeps evaluating %SEAENCOUNTERS = 2 OR 4 and it keeps going to @C6, always...

%SEAENCOUNTERS := 0
%SEADESCRIPTION := 0
%PIRATEENCOUNTERS := 0 

IF $CHAPTERID = 4 THEN

%SEAENCOUNTERS := 1D4
%LASTPAGEID := $PAGEID

IF $CHAPTERID = 4 AND %SEAENCOUNTERS = 1 OR %SEAENCOUNTERS = 3
THEN
%SEADESCRIPTION := 1D5

ELSE IF $CHAPTERID = 4 AND %SEAENCOUNTERS = 2 OR %SEAENCOUNTER = 4 AND %SCORE <= 500
THEN
%PIRATEENCOUNTERS := 1D100

IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 19 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 60 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 69 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 35 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 44 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END

$DEST := @C5
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 20 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 34 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C6
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 70 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 89 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C6
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 50 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 59 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C7
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 45 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 49 THEN 
BEGIN
$DEST := @C8
END

I'll just point out again, though I don't know if it would affect it or not, but you don't normally use the ELSE word in this way.

ELSE is where you have a condition, and if it is not met, another action takes place. IE,

----

IF %VARIABLE1 = 1 THEN
$DEST := @C2
ELSE
$DEST := @C3

-----

In this example, if variable 1 = 1, it goes to chapter two. If it doesn't equal 1, it goes to chapter 3 instead.

You don't need to use the ELSE command in front of the IF command in your script. You can just type:

I am not sure about the syntax of this site's scripting, but usually if only a single action takes place because of the IF, then you don't need to place it on a different line, you can just add it after THEN on the same line. You only need seperate lines if a bunch of things are going to take place. This way, that part of your script is only 4 lines long, and doesn't involve a bunch of ELSE commands being used.

I can't remember if I mentioned that earlier. BEGIN and END are usually used to define a 'block' of actions that you want to tie to the IF THEN comman. If there's only a single action, you should be able to type it on the same line as the IF THEN command, simply following the word THEN. It should simplify a lot of the lines in your script, because most of the time, you only have a single action following the THEN command.

For example, toward the end you have:

----------

IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 97 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 100 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C13
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 95 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 96 AND %DAVEYJONES = 0 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C14
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTER >= 95 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTER <= 96 AND %DAVEYJONES = 1
THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END

---------

Which you can probably just type as three lines:

----------

I know what you mean with the ELSE, some prog languages have it as: ELSEIF and ELSIF, but anyways... i see what your saying.. but now i would rather not like to touch my code, since it works LOL... i will just leave it...

like they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Can someone please telll me what is wrong?               i wanna rip out my hair right now...

%SEAENCOUNTERS := 0

%LEVEL := 3
IF %SCORE > 6500 THEN
%LEVEL := 4

IF $CHAPTERID = 4 THEN
%SEAENCOUNTERS := 1D4
%LASTPAGEID := $PAGEID

IF %SEAENCOUNTERS = 1 OR %SEAENCOUNTERS = 3
THEN
BEGIN
%SEADESCRIPTION := 1D5
END
IF ((%SEAENCOUNTERS = 2) OR (%SEAENCOUNTERS = 4)) AND %LEVEL = 1 THEN
BEGIN
%PIRATEENCOUNTERS := 1D100

IF %PIRATEENCOUNTERS <= 19 THEN
BEGIN
$DEST := @C5
END
IF %PIRATEENCOUNTERS >= 60 AND %PIRATEENCOUNTERS <= 69 THEN
BEGIN

BEGIN

I think you've got the word THEN on a different line here, so it isn't reading it as part of the IF command. That could be bugging the script.

Also, at the bottom you've got IF THEN's with Begin and End, but up the top you don't. Not sure what that will do when the script is read.

For the top ones, I would probably write

IF %SCORE <= 500 THEN
%LEVEL := 1

as

IF %SCORE <= 500 THEN %LEVEL := 1

or

IF %SCORE <= 500 THEN
BEGIN
%LEVEL := 1
END

though I prefer the second one. since line returns (where you press enter)  might affect the script . But I suspect having the word THEN on a different line (in the SEAENCOUNTERS) to the IF could be what is causing the problem.

wow.. tahts incredible lol.
