Can anyone make a script for me...

[sonlen1414]

I want a ffc fairy that will follow you like in majora's mask and ocarina of time, any help is appreciated. I would make a script myself, but the scripting is a bit confusing, but I will hopefully learn someday. :D

[Russ]

I actually have a script that does this. However, me and another person are using it for a joint quest, and since he was the one who made it, I'll have to get his permision before I can give it to you.

[sonlen1414]

Hi russadwan, thanks, but if you can't get it it's not a problem. :) I believe you have helped me before on some kind of script too. You do visit purezc also don't you? Oh well, see ya.:)


I just accidentally found this script on my computer I found awhile back, but it says something about an itemclass is not found, could you check this for me?

import "std.zh"
ffc script followfairy{
void run(){
if(link->item[I-LEAF]){
if(epona) xspd = 1.4{
else xspd = 1;
if(fairyinit){
leaf->flags[0]=true;
leaf->flags[3]=true;
leaf->data=fairycombo+1;
leaf->cset=;
ran=rand(28)+link->x-16;
leaf->x=ran;
ran=rand(28)+link->y-16
leaf->y=ran;
}
if(screennumber1=game->getcurscreen()){
ran=rand(28)+link->x-16;
leaf->x=ran;
ran=rand(28)+link->y-16
leaf->y=ran;}
x1=leaf->x;x2=link->x2;
y1=leaf->y;y2=link->y2;
if(t==tcap){
ran=rand(5)/10+0.4;
if(rand(2)==1)ran*=-1;
leaf->vx=ran
ran=rand(5)/10+0.4;
if(rand(2)==1)ran*=-1;
leaf->vy=ran
t=0:
dircheck=true;}
if(distance(x1,y1,x2,y2)>32){
if(x1<x2){
ran=rand(5)/10+xspd;
leaf->Vx=ran;}
if(y1<y2){
ran=rand(5)/10+xspd;
leaf->Vy=ran;}
if(x1>x2){
ran=rand(5)/10+xspd;
leaf->Vx=-ran;}
if(y1>y2){
ran=rand(5)/10+xspd;
leaf->Vy=-ran;}
dircheck=true;}
if(dircheck){
if(leaf->vy<o&&(abs(leaf->vx)<0.6)){leaf->data=fairycombo;dircheck=false;}
if(leaf->vy<o&&(abs(leaf->vx)<0.6)){leaf->data=fairycombo+1;dircheck=false;}
if(leaf->vx<0&&dircheck){leaf->data=fairycombo+2;dircheck=false;}
if(leaf->vx>0&&dircheck){leaf->data=fairycombo+3;dircheck=false;}}
if(link->imputr){
if(cantalk&&!falling&&link->action!=LA_FROZEN&&link->z==0&&srpt==0){
game->playsound(leafsfx);
screen->message(leafstring0;}}
if(srpt>0)srpt--;
screennumber=game->getcurscreen();
t++;}

Heh, don't worry about that Russ.
I don't like to keep scripts hidden away; feel free to share any of them.
And what you have won't work at the moment...


const int CMB_FAIRY = 0; // Set here the first of the 4 Fairy combos, in the order Up, Down, Left, Right
bool HasFairy = true;
bool FairyInit = true;
int FairyMovementCounter;

global script Slot_2{
void run(){
int ScreenNumber;
while(true){
//Call the Fairy functions
if(HasFairy) Fairy(ScreenNumber);
//Put any other global functions here...


ScreenNumber = Game->GetCurScreen();
Waitframe();
}

//Fairy functions
void Fairy(int ScreenNumber){
ffc Fairy = Screen->LoadFFC(32);
bool ChangeDir;

if(FairyInit){
Fairy->Flags[0] = true;
Fairy->Flags[3] = true;
Fairy->Data = CMB_FAIRY+1;
FairyInit = false;
Fairy->X = Rand(28) + Link->X-16;
Fairy->Y = Rand(28) + Link->Y-16;
}
if(ScreenNumber != Game->GetCurScreen()){
Fairy->X = Rand(28) + Link->X-16;
Fairy->Y = Rand(28) + Link->Y-16;
}
if(FairyMovementCounter == FairyMovementMax){
Fairy->Vx = (Rand(5)/10+0.4)*(Rand(2)*2-1);
Fairy->Vy = (Rand(5)/10+0.4)*(Rand(2)*2-1);
ChangeDir = true;
FairyMovementCounter = 0;
}
if(Distance(Fairy->X,Fairy->Y,Link->X,Link->Y) > 32){
if(Fairy->X < Link->X) Fairy->Vx = (Rand(5)/10+1);
else Fairy->Vx = -(Rand(5)/10+1);
if(Fairy->Y < Link->Y) Fairy->Vy = (Rand(5)/10+1);
else Fairy->Vy = -(Rand(5)/10+1);
ChangeDir = true;
}
if(ChangeDir){
if(Fairy->Vy < 0 && (Abs(Fairy->Vx) < 0.6)) Fairy->Data = CMB_FAIRY;
else if(Fairy->Vy > 0 && (Abs(Fairy->Vx) < 0.6)) Fairy->Data = CMB_FAIRY+1;
else if(Fairy->Vx < 0) Fairy->Data = CMB_FAIRY+2;
else if(Fairy->Vx > 0) Fairy->Data = CMB_FAIRY+3;
ChangeDir = false;
}
FairyMovementCounter++;
}
}

global script Slot_3{
void run(){
if(HasFairy) FairyInit = true;
}
}

ffc script RemoveFairy{
void run(){
HasFairy = false;
ffc Fairy = Screen->LoadFFC(30);
Fairy->Data = 0;
}
}

ffc script ReturnFairy{
void run(){
HasFairy = true;
FairyInit = true;
}
}

Have a go with that one.
Put the two global scripts on the slots it says in their names, and if you place the other two scripts on an ffc on a screen, they do what the name suggests.
Make sure to set up the integer at the top to what combos you want to use for the fairy.

[sonlen1414]

Thanks for the script, but I have a few questions about it.
So do I need to set the ffc on a screen in a certain way or does it just follow me when you start?
Also, it will follow me when I go to another screen or a dmap?
And how and where exactly do I put the combo's numbers at, it says put the first one in but then it tells me to put them in a certain order?

I have put the script in and I get this error:

Line 20: syntax error, unexpected Lparen, expecting assign, on token (
Fatal error P00: can't open or parse input file!

any idea what is wrong?

Oh, oops.
Missed an R brace.

Anyway, you put that as your global script, and then the fairy will follow you everywhere.
If you want it to go away for a bit, put the 'RemoveFairy' FFC script on a screen, then the fairy will stop following you.
If you want it to come back, put the 'ReturnFairy' FFC script on a screen.

On your combosheet you should have 4 fairy combos in a row.
The first facing up, then next down, the next left and then right.
Put the Combo ID of the first one as the integer at the top of the script.

[sonlen1414]

The script didn't work at first so I tweaked it a little bit, I added
import"std.zh"(of course)
int FairyMovementMax; after int FairyMovementCounter
and now it works, Thanks a ton.:)

[sonlen1414]

This doesn't require scripts but I was wondering if you could help me make a cutscene. All I want is when you enter a dungeon it says something like, It sure is creepy down here, and then you start playing again. I have the actual screen you see on layer 3 with teleports to warp you to the screen you start with. It will take me to that screen, but it won't display the text, and I have the room set to special item with the string and Abei as the "guy".Also I would like to know how you could make it a one time only thing.

[lucas92]

bool showmessage=true;
ffc script messagecutscene
{
void run(int s,int t)
{
while(true)
{
if (showmessage==true)
{
Screen->Message(s);
Waitframes(t*60);
showmessage=false;
Quit();
}
else
{
Quit();
}
}
}
}

D0:the string you want to show
D1:the time in seconds you want it to be shown

I think it might work... I'm not even sure if you need a script for that anyway...

[sonlen1414]

Cool, I will try it out, thanks.:)

[lucas92]

It just cannot work... bool showmessage has to be in a global script... And I don't know how to make global scripts for now so that's the problem... :p

[sonlen1414]

That is okay, I am trying to learn scripting, does anybody know of a really good tutorial?

[lucas92]

ZCWiki: http://www.shardstorm.com/ZCwiki/Main_Page

Then search Zscript. The best way to learn is to try to make the most simple scripts (drawing a circle on the screen and make it grow for example), then try something else a little bit more complex, then something else... Etc.

Don't try to do something complex at first. ;)

I really liked that tutorial though: http://www.purezc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33916

Really helpful.

[pkmnfrk]

Er, don't know if this is still relevant, but I would do this with a... y'know, DMap string. Which only shows up the very first time you enter a dungeon. Unless you need to change the scene in some way, this should be more than sufficient.
