Sidescroll Ladder Script

[Christian]

You'd do it this way:

global script Slot_2{
   void run(){
       while(true){
      //call the ladder function
         ladder(98);
          Waitframe();
        }
     }
 }

global variablies and constants goes on top of the global script file, each variable ending in a semi-colon.

you can also change the variable 98 to any other flag number of your choice. you can only use flags 98 - 102 for now though.

Doing the work for you:

import "std.zh"

//global variables go here
bool has_hover = false;
bool on_ladder = false;

global script onstart {
  void run() {
   
    //one time things go here
   
    while(true) {
     
      //function calls go here
      ladder(98);
     
      Waitframe();
    }
  }
 
  //functions go here
