how did u get the text command to scroll in the history method for your game?

[Mark of the Dragon]

Grr...Dark Age Board, NOW!


...if I was a mod, I'd move this.

[Xorlak]

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)
}

[Mark of the Dragon]

Yeah, that's what he's talking about.

[Cuzit]

What scolling/zooming text?

[Anonymous]

no, not scrolling, srry rong word, i mean in the history() method where it wouold spit the #text commands letters out letter by letter?

[Mark of the Dragon]

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.

[Xorlak]

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).

[Mark of the Dragon]

Oh, right...

well, Dark Elite,  there is a method that lets you do that (check G's Shack)

[DarkElite]

u mean the #delaytext   method? i tried that and it only made the letters in the message window to slow down not the text commands  Sad

[Cuzit]

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.

hey DA2 is awsome, and the battling is better! is this one of the systems from g shack? if it is, which one? or is it made by u?

[Xorlak]

Thanks.  Yes I made it myself, along with all the other menus, etc.

how do you make a battle system.....ive tried but i dont no how to access char images or make the person attack and all that.......how? Sad

[Mark of the Dragon]

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)
