    This topic isn't just for scripters. It's for everyone. It's to discuss ideas to improve the game that could potentially be scripted. There are people out there(like me) who can and will script great ideas for others and themselves. This is just a place to brainstorm ideas.

    For instance I have been thinking about rolling. I know there are some rolling scripts out there(like press R and link rolls a short distance) but I have heard they are buggy(don't trigger warps or something). Do we have a rolling script out that works well? Do you like how it works? I'd prefer it to work by double clicking a direction instead of pressing a button. So that too many buttons aren't needed to play, especially if you have some dedicated to other things(shield, action, jump, equipment change). Do you think that would be better than a dedicated button press?

    @Lynker how would you want it to work? How would it be activated? Does it just save?

    I believe the Game Over/Continue screen should be on a normal screen, from there, you could customize the screen, palette and music with the default features. All that would leave just the text options and the selector to be scripted. But I'm not sure that works or not.

    Basically what Shane said.

    And Z-Targeting has already been done! It's actually pretty cool. xD

    Maybe... a script for larger explosion graphics from bombs? The one-tile sprite limitation is... well, just that.

    Hmm, I wonder if this would be as simple as I imagine it would be. I am thinking a global script that detects an explosion eweapon and replaces it with a scripted one. Maybe I will try it out later.

    What about (and perhaps this is already possible) a room type setting/guy setting that only activates when the player has obtained a selectable item. A sort of advanced version of the letter>potions routine.

    Fairy in a bottle would be nice. Or otherwise some similar effect.

    A script for playing random SFX for different things (example: walking over different combos, or a random SFX every time link gets hurt). Basically, a script that will play a random (from a pool of sequential SFX) sound for things that happen often. (firing arrows, swinging sword, getting hurt, etc.)

    I think this may be possible without scripting with warping and what not. I am pretty sure you can change screen flags(room type, guy, etc), though I haven't done it. What is your idea for such a script?

    Fairy in a bottle would be nice. I have been putting off the functions I plan on doing for your bottle idea. For those who don't know we CJC posted about it here. I was thinking about adding a fairy in a bottle item in that script. Maybe when you pick up a fairy item and you have a empty bottle it you basically catch it. If not it just heals you as usual. Or would you want to catch it with an item like ALttP or OoT?


    Something to think about:

    If you could change or add something to Link's behavior what would it be?

    For the fairy, it'd be better (read: easier to script and use) if you simply captured it in an empty bottle when you have one to spare. It'd also be nice if it could be triggered when you run out of HP, provided one of your bottles has a fairy. The cinematic of it reviving you wouldn't be necessary, it could just replenish the HP and maybe draw a tile of the fairy flying away.


    For Link's behavior, I'd say reaction graphics for damage. I think a lot of people would want him to look like he's been hurt when he bounces back from an attack.
