A few scripts of mine.

I'm bored, and I suppose I may as well give you guys a bit of a present. So, here's a few scripts of mine you can put in the Head.tsc file to make things easier, etc.

HEALTH FRAGMENT SCRIPT

Ever played zelda? Collecting life-ups during a game can be fun, but as cavestory proved, you get a little TOO much health for doing... barely anything. (Hence people striving to play a 3HP run... somewhat)

So, awhile back, this script was born. True, Runelancer attempted it first, but I suppose he couldn't have it function as well, seeing Sue's workshop wasn't out yet. Sell, here it is, straight from Eternal Chaos' Script. Use as you like, just throw my name in the Credits.

SCRIPT

OUTSIDE THE SCRIPT

Now comes the easy part, making this script the best life-up script possible.
Set up an event as follows:

EVENT: 50
SPRITE: 32
FLAGS: 6000
FLAGID: (Whatever value you like, I use 101 as the 1st life-frag)

:So, what's so special about this? The script in the Head.tsc is run, as obviously stated. However, as you may or may not know, <DNP (Do-not-process) deletes the event from screen, and it turns on the flag the event had! What does this mean? Every time the script is run, given there's an ID specified, the flag is on, and will stay on. You're given an item for the event to use the next time it runs, aka the fragment.
The first time it's run, you get the 1st item.
The second time it's run, it notices you have the 1st item, then takes it away, giving you the 2nd.
The Third time, it takes away the 2nd item, and gives you HP, along with the message, and Life-Up jungle. Huzzah!

Wasn't that simple? You can use the exact same thing over and over without having to copy life-up script over and over. Best of all, you can add in more items and script chunks similar to 0051 to add more fragments.

Death - The game still running after failing a boss.

As Eternal chaos boasted, it can be done. Usually, one would think you could restore life, and <SMC (Show-my-character). Wrongo. For whatever reason, the character is perminently gone forever. The only solution is <INI (Initialization), or <LDP (Load-Profile). Here's a simple example:

*Pre-boss script*
*Boss start-up*
... ... [b]<FL+0150[/b]<END

-OHNOES! YOU DIED!-
(Meanwhile, in Head.tsc...)

#0200
<SKJ0001:0300...*Rest of opening stuff*

Pretty simple. However, My mod has 6 fragments before Pandimonium smites Daniruu. How am I to transfer them? Well, simple, but a long process...

This checks for every life-fragment ever gathered, then turns on a skipflag accordingly, along with the flag saying 'run the seperate start-script'.
Speaking of which, you'd have to add something in teh startscript to actually get the life back, huh?

Fun, huh?

I guess I'll add mroe to the topic as I find neat scripting tricks. By the by, you don't have to use the flags or event numbers I used, they are only examples. Change them as you please...

Ah, I'll splerge. Here's my entire Head.tsc atm. I reorganized teh default scripts to a more... easy-to-use fasion; Life-ups use the same event as teh life capsule sprite; beds use the same as bed sprites; etc.

Prepare for text overload in 3... 2.. 1...

To prove what she's worth, She must win this fight.

Mmmm... new scripts.

Good work!

<INI is like starting a new game: All switches off, and just you with 3HP/whatever you hacked the start value too. From there, it runs event 200 on the map you start from.

You're thinking of <ESC

 

lololol, he got it working already.
