Help me, RPG problems!

[TokenHerbz]

hi... im making an RPG...

And well its really to long to paste here, and its of 2 files, data.t and main.t

Anyways, i put my wepons and armour in an array of backpack for when i buy it... i use another array of boolean to make sure i keep moving in the for statment.

Anyways, i wanted help with this one problem i cant think of how to do it...

Lets say we press 0
it brings us to the invintory... How so i have an option to *Equipt* a certain ewepon?

i have weps do there damage + the base damage + (the random extra bonus damage from levels)
so i wnat only 1 wep equipt at a time, and so, how do i do this?

Also, another problem im running into, how do i make it CLOSE my proogram any time, by pressing Esc

and last but not least!

How do i get the ability to SAVE the game, as ther hero, his level, and all his stuff, save the game... up to 3 characters...

THank you...

Note: If you need to see my code ill post what u need, or all of it if u wish...

Untill next time...
As always,

[TokenHerbz]

Ah crap... it wasn't loading for a long time, so i clicked STOP, then hit send again after making title shorter, i thought that was the problem,

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING!

Anywho, i dont think its THAT BIG of a deal, so please....

Dont ban me...

Bye

You can zip all the files and then upload them. That way we can easily test it out with your code.

So for equiping, why not just do something like

if keys ('e') then
weapon_equipped := weapon (selected)
end if

that way you can have shield_equipped and otehr stuff like that.

For saving a game, look up file I/O (Input/Output). Have all the info saved into a text file called 'save.txt' or 'save.sav' - whatever you want. Then just read the file for loading.

Basic answer, but you have to give more info. It's also pretty late .

Equipping weapons depends on how you want your game to work. There are many ways of doing it. You could drag and drop the item. You could have the user type in the name of the item. You could click the item and type "equip weapon". You could click the item and just type "equip" or hit "e", as Gandalf said, and have your program know to equip it as a weapon.

To save your game, you have to write the state of all your variables to a file and then be able to read them back later. If you're using records, you should use read and write, because write allows you to write a whole record to your file with one, single line. With put and get, you'd have to put each field of the record into your file manually, then get each field back manually.

And you won't be banned. I just delete the other post, and no harm is done!

if i zip it, my files will get scripted... encoded, unreadable..

[Delos]

What are you talking about? Simply place all your files in handy zip file, post 'em up, and we'll be able to look at them (apres downloading, bien tot). I don't possibly see how zipping a .t file and/or any other external files you may be using could corrupt them to an 'unreadable' extent...

[[Gandalf]]

Heh, I think he means that when you open the .zip file in Turing it comes up as something completely different.

You have to unzip the file before reading it again . Right click the file, and click 'extract' or whatever like that pops up.

ok here, dont fix my code and DL it back to me, but tell me how to go about fixing it...

I also have 1 problem with getting the CUSTOM HERO to change the player.**** stats, so if you want to run it, just % the errors...

Here it is...

[TokenHerbz]

hmm, i guess ill try to get it own my own then...

[[Gandalf]]

You have to be way more specific. You can't just say, "I want stats - help me". What part of the code do you want help on? Make some code yourself, then I or someone else will help you fix/improve it.

If you post the same thing over and over again, clearly you're getting nowhere and you will make someone mad.

It seems like you have some good code there, just keep trying things out.

[TokenHerbz]

ok well lets start on the part of the user's cutom hero...

I can get the heros stats, 'userpickhealth' / 'userpickstrong' / 'userpickmagic'...

The problem is, i need it in player.****format...

i currently set spicifics of, player.health := 0 (etc for rest) for the custom hero, in my data.t file.

I attempted many ways to change that variable.

Ex.
player.HP := userpickhealth

i ALWAYS get the error, 'userpickhealth' had not been declared, if i declare it, its says its been declared, i just cannot fix that problem...

I will state problem 2 now....

I cann't display my *player.backpack*

code:

if money < weps.wepcost then                                         put "You Dont Have Enough"                                         Input.Pause                                         cls                                         exit                                     else                                         for i: 1 .. 20                      %%Puts purchesd items into array.                                             if player.bppres(i) = false then                                                 player.bppres(i):= true                                                 money := money - weps.wepcost                                                 player.backpack(i):= weps                                                 cls                                                 exit                                             end if                                         end for                                         put "You baught it."                                         Input.Pause                                         exit                                    end if

this is how i attempt to *get* the item into backpack...

i cant display it though, so i cant *eqipt it*
i am working with a cide of somthing like this....

code:

if ans = 1 then                     %loop                       %  cls                       %  for i : 1 .. 20                        %     put player.backpack(i)                        % end for                       %  Input.Pause                    %end loop                end if

Well i get errors, and errors....

please DL my RPG, and try to help me fix it.

i hope that was more specific...


NOTE
**This is how i get my user custom info**

code:

Mouse.Where (x, y, button)                     Text.Locate (1, 1)                     if points = 0 then                         exit                     end if                     if button = 1 then                         if x <= 50 and x >= 0 and y >= 160 and y <= 166 then                             userpickhealth += 5                             points -= 5                             delay(200)                         end if                         if x <= 65 and x >= 0 and y >= 144 and y <= 150 then                             userpickstrong += 5                             points -= 5                             delay(200)                         end if                         if x <= 40 and x >= 0 and y >= 128 and y <= 134 then                             userpickmagic += 5                             points -= 5                             delay(200)                         end if                         cls                     end if

and heres my problem

code:

%userpickhealth += player.HP %player.maxHP := userpickhealth %player.strong := userpickstrong %player.magic := userpickmagic

i need it in player.*** format because its what i use in my code.
EX

code:

if r = 1 then         put "You Attack 1st"         delay(400)         loop             mons.HP1 := mons.HP1 - player.strong + (player.lvl * 5)             put "You gave ", player.strong, " damage"             delay(400)             if mons.HP1 <= 0 then                 put "You slayed the ",mons.name1                 delay(400)                 put "You gain, ",mons.xp1, " exp"                 delay(400)                 player.xp := player.xp + mons.xp1                 delay(400)                 randint(reward,mons.minmon,mons.maxmon)                 put "You got ",reward ," money"                 money := money + reward                 exit             else                 player.HP := player.HP - mons.strong1                 put "You took ",mons.strong1, " damage"                 delay(400)             end if

**im going to modify my battle code lots**
and thats why, but im keeping the player...

i call apot previusly set heros like this

code:

if ans1 = 1 then     player := racelist(1) elsif ans1 = 2 then     player := racelist(2) elsif ans1 = 3 then     player := racelist(3) end if

i do the same with my wepons / spells / and armour
those are still being working on...

Anyways, hope this helps you... to help me...

Bye!
