Post by: Xorlak on October 07, 2003, 09:01:37 PM: Hmmm... I don't recall doing scrolling text... Are you talking about the zoom in?

That goes something like this:

#for(x!=0;x!<10;x!=x!+1)
{
#zoom(10)
#delay(0.1)
}

Post by: Mark of the Dragon on October 11, 2003, 11:53:20 AM: He probably just did a #For() loop and commanded it to type one letter at x! and y! at a time, using vars to determine what letter would come next. I know, no n00b would understand, but that's the simplest I can put it...of course, this is just a theory i have.

Post by: Xorlak on October 11, 2003, 12:00:08 PM: Oh, I know what you're talking about. Around version 2.18 or 2.19 of the Toolkit, the #text command was changed so the words appear all at once per line, rather than letter by letter (you could really tell on slower machines). Dark Age was made before this change (version 2.15).

Post by: Cuzit on October 11, 2003, 09:43:43 PM: Ah! Do you mean that like....
Alright. For a while, I've been wanting to do something like:

Oh, no. (Wait a sec).(wait a sec).(wait a sec).

Which would make

Oh, no....

But waiting on the dots. Is that what you mean? I've been thinking about how to do that.... I want to do that. Rather, need.

Post by: Mark of the Dragon on October 18, 2003, 08:37:55 AM: Umm, dude, let me make a few suggestions:

1 - Try downloading a BS from G's shack and studying it.

2 - Make a game with the Default BS first, then you'll be in a better position to make your own BS (hey, that's what Xorlak did)

3 - Study the command reference for a bit and program each component in its own program, not combining with the other components. After each component has been finished, combine them together and tweak it so that it runs as one whole program (hey, that's basically what I'm doing)
