Hi. I am trying to design my first scenario and i was wondering of any1 could tell me the script for stairs that move the party to a different location, as if to move onto a different level of the tower (im trying to make a huge tower.) Thanks :D [ Saturday, June 30, 2007 12:13: Message edited by: Neo Viper ] Posts: 3 | Registered: Saturday, June 30 2007 07:00 |

Check out Kelandon's Pink and Pretty Page, linked at the top of this forum. It contains almost all available resources, including the Westra Cookbook. That document contains almost everything that a beginning scenario designer could imagine. Other than that, I would heartily suggest playing a scenario, and then digging into the scripts that make it run, and figure out what each item is doing, and how that is reflected in gameplay.

I was going to point you to the Wikibook, but then I realized that it's not hyperlinked like it used to be. How long has this been the case? Anyway, the call you're looking for is 'move_to_new_town'. It's in the form move_to_new_town(int TOWN_NUMBER, int X-COORDINATE, int Y-COORDINATE). So, for example, say you placed a special rectangle over the stairs, giving it state eleven. Then put the following in that town's script to move the party to a new town:(In this example, you'd be moving the party to (36, 39) in town 5. -------------------- I'm paranoid.

In the editor, you place a special rectangle and choose an appropriate number for the town state (say, 10 or 11). Then you open up the town's town script and create a state with the appropriate number and include that call. Look at other scenarios for examples. Shades of Gray, for instance, basically consists of a multi-level town, so you can examine its scripting to see how it does it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

An older version of the Wikibook is up at http://freewebs.com/dintiradan/temp/script-reference.html.

Just revert the Wiki page. And if there are any problems, revert to another version. -------------------- It's only an eye, my lord. Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |
