xorlak, how did you get you DA2 tite to be animated while the use could select an option (new game, continue, quit) in the start up program? Wink

[Mark of the Dragon]

He probably made a *.anm file using the bitmaps.

[DarkElite]

and would that still allow you to choose something? i dont mean like the credits...i mean wehn it wouold show fire in the title (DA2) and it would continue going in a loop even while the user could move the cursor on the screen and chose something

[Xorlak]

My cursor method normally works like this:

#wait(a$)
#if(a$="DOWN")
...
etc.

But for my title screen, it works like this:

#while(done!=0)
{
#animatetitle *update title image

#get(a$)
#if(a$="DOWN")
...
etc.
}

The get command will get a keystroke without waiting.  So if you put that in a loop, it will function like #wait, except you can execute commands when the user isn't pressing keys.  So I have the #animatetitle method do a series of #setimages to animate the title screen.

ahh!! very smart! so the while command can do multitasking? or does it check if the key is pressed, and if not repeat the program?

[DarkElite]

(the program in th {}'s of the while command i mean)

[Mark of the Dragon]

Look at the title screen program and figure it out for yourself...

ahh!! very smart! so the while command can do multitasking? or does it check if the key is pressed, and if not repeat the program?

The latter, basically (it's not really multitasking).

[Cesque]

Yeah, all right. Just wehat I thinked - either he got mad, or his brother/sister came and wrote something here.  Laughing

[DarkElite]

lol, no...i forgot to sign off, and then while he was online, i got on the forums to check this topic and got off...then he came back and selected the site from the list thing, and put the  post up  (im serious!!!   Surprised )   my brothers a (Editor: Censored) homo  Very Happy

[Cesque]

Yeah, (Editor: Censored) heteros are rare those days Smile

Sure he doesn't like toolkit.  <_<

[DarkElite]

sweet!  Very Happy  i was able to complete the start up of the battle system and the character move selection crap! (it allows at tops, four players vs. three enemies! :rolleyes: )  only 2 days!! yeah!........but does any one no how i can compare the speed of enemies and characters? its a strategy type battle system (like golden sun) where you take turns for move......but can any one tell me a biasic idea of how to compare speeds of characters and  enemies (like if the are three people vs. 2......or 4 vs. 1)  Wink
