Alright, I'm trying to get something similar to Sabin's Blitz Command in FF6, but I want a visual timer displayed so that the gamer knows how much time he has left. Anyway, here's the timer code:

Code: [Select]
#Method Timer()
{
#For(timeleft!=10,timeleft!>=0,timeleft!-1)
{
  #FontSize(24)
  #CastLit(timeleft!,timeleft$)
                                #ColorRGB(255,0,0)
  #timeimage$=timeleft$ + ".bmp"
  #SetImage(timeimage$,338,483,104,65)
  #Get(key[keyx!]$)
  #If(key[keyx!]$~="")
  {
   #keyx!=keyx!+1
  }
  #Delay(1)
}
}

I haven't been able to test this yet, so I'm not sure if it will work or not. If anyone can help me determine if this code will work or can help make it work if it doesn't, please reply with your tips. Thanks. Oh, and you'll get a spot in the special thanks section of my game's credits (If I remember)

Download Final Fantasy 6 and an emulator and play it!

Emulator - http://www.zsnes.com

Game - http://www.edgeemu.com

*On Edge Emulation, click "Roms" on the right-hand side of the screen. In the EdgeLoad popup, click advanced search. Then, in the bottom text box, type in "Final Fantasy", and set the java pop-down menu to "Super Nintendo Entertainment System." In the results, look for Final Fantasy III (U) (yes, I said III...that's cause the american version WAS ff3 until FF Anthology came out) *

Do you mean you can download FFIII, or just little scinemas?

Sorry, against emulation and such. Can't you just tell us?

Oh, and I'm new here. Hello.

Alright, basically when you select blitz, you have to enter certain button combinations within a set time limit. Then, if the key combination, Sabin will perform the corresponding attack. Sort of like special moves in a fighting game.

And if Emulation was illegal, then why are there so many rom sites with domain names that HAVEN'T been shut down? And why hasn't ZSNES been shut down?

Emulation itself is not illegal, however ROM files are. It's nothing but pure theft in my opinion. But that's not what where going to discuss here, right? Anyway, about your code.
Code: [Select]
#Method Timer()
{
#For(timeleft!=10,timeleft!>=0,timeleft!+1)

I'm not too familiar with the #For command, but if I'm not wrong, this one will go on and on forever, beacuse it will never become less than 0, beacuse you add 1 to timeleft! everytime. It should be minus instead of plus.

Code: [Select]
{
 #FontSize(24)

You know, I can't see anything in your code that's affected by #fontsize. Of course you may need it later, so just leave that one if you want.

Code: [Select]
#CastLit(timeleft!,timeleft$)
                               #ColorRGB(255,0,0)

 #timeimage$=timeleft$ + ".bmp"
 #SetImage(timeimage$,338,483,104,65)

No problem here, as far as I can see. Oh, wait, #Colorrgb, I don't think that affects anything in this method. Maybe it's the same case as with #Fontsize. Do what you want with it.

Code: [Select]
#Get(key[keyx!]$)

I think you must manually make Keyx! zero or one or something before running this command the first time. Or you could do it at the end of the program.

Code: [Select]
#If(key[keyx!]$~="nothing")

I take that as you want to check if the player hasn't pushed any button at all. In that case, I think it should be "" instead of "nothing".

Code: [Select]
{
  #keyx!=keyx!+1
 }
 #Delay(1)
}
}


I think this will work, but the player will have to hold the buttons down, and they may not push more than one button every second. However, they will be able to push LESS than one button every second. But that's what you want, isn't it?


Those are the only problems I could find, but I'm no expert.

Well.....
Man that tees me off! I could've downloaded it of the internet instead of spending forever to find it and spent $40.00 on it.....
Oh, isn't Blitz like Zell's Limit Break in FF8?

MANY rom sites HAS been shutdown, like plasticman Sad. However, many ROM and Warez sites alike usually has something in their disclaimer that makes it impossible for a human being to enter, like that you have to be 200 + years old to enter.

Emulation is as legal as it can be.

Edge Emulaion has yet to be shut down, and Emusanet is still kicking, but they are rebuilding their site. Also, Edge Emulation has NO disclaimer whatsoever. I think that some sites were shut down because they had Playstation ISOs and N64 roms on them.

No... If they were shut down, then they would have had to infringe on the rights of a video game.

The only way that this can be done, is if you are putting a site up with IDSA (Interactive Digital Software Association) Protected roms. This includes ALL Sony playstation games, weather they have it down or not, that is why Sony is notorious for their lawsuits. As for N64, well most of their games are IDSA Protected, but only major Genesis, SNES, or NES games were actually IDSA Protected, I attribute it to the lack of communication (ie. noone really had computers or anything until the 90's)

Even though, most countries now have laws that include this line:

Quote
It is hereby forbidden to have any material not originally intended for the source machine, to be found on another machine.


Which in laymans terms is

A computer isn't supposed to have stuff that isn't intended for the computer (ala ROMS). Oh and that bull that most sites give you about 24 hours... heh that's crap. You could have it on there for an hour and it's still breaking the law.

Well, EdgeEmu's been up for years, and they have almost every Genesis, SNES, NES, and Arcade roms known to man.
