Gravity in sideview areas

[_L_]

EDIT: Obsolete! Sorry, but this script is of no use to you now.

Mario and Metroid quest makers rejoice! Sideview gameplay is now more feasable than ever!

With this script, Link (and currently only Link) will fall toward the bottom of the screen. If there is an unwalkable combo in the way, Link will come to rest on it. Link can jump toward the top of the screen to advance to higher platforms.

ZScript code. Attach this to a screen's FFC to enable gravity in that room.

Sample quest. B button to jump.

Change the jumping/falling physics by altering the three arguments (and by artificially increasing Link's walking speed.)

The quest wont open, it sais 'Zelda-W has encountered a problem and needs to close' whenever i try to open it.
and if i try to load the scriopt in Zquest it sais 'unable to phrase instruction 1 from script the error returned was invaled instruction the command was (gravity) (,in sidescrolling)
O_o what is this supposed to mean?

Requires a file called STD.zh which comes with beta 14.

I just got beta14 and it still sais the same exact thing.

... wow... this is purely awesome.
I just tried it, and although you might be able to pull off one or two bugs, they're too minor to matter in anyways really. Now you really could make the Adventure of Link quest!

Know what was freaking cool though? I jumped and did a downstab (Errr, downslash rather) on the wizzrobe. That was freaking awesome!

Best script ever made up to date. Hmm... I wonder if you could pull off random encounters using scripting? That'd be enough for a FF/Zelda style quest!

Please tell me how you got it to work! It doesnt work for me, even with beta14. How did you get it to work?

How do you change the button to press to jump? I want it so you press up to jump.

Well?

Here's how to load the script up in ZQuest:

* You don't use "Import FFC script". You use "Compile ZScript".
* If you're using OS X ZC, you need to store std.zh in the package itself.Right-click ZQuest, choose "Show Package Contents", and then copy-paste the std.zh file into the window (dragging won't work.)

I get the same thing too! The sample quest worked and I tried everything and checked everything and it won't work on my own quest. whoever made this sample quest must have MAGIC HANDS!

EDIT: OH NEVERMIND! I found out why. It's because you have to pick a combo in the FF Combo attributes and find the combo that is solid clear tile. Not the very first combo because it is reserved as "None".
