I Drown Randomly...?

Okay. I'm new, a n00b, and all that. I was working on a little something as a test mod, and now I'm at my wit's end. If it matters (which is seems to greatly) I am using Sue's Workshop. I was making a mod for the Hell mod contest...even though I stand no chance in the "contest" it was an easy way for me to make something without an in depth storyline.

Anyway...I was in one of the final rooms and I wanted you to have to go all the way BACK through my hell. That is...up. Well, the door messed up, or I messed up in the scripts, cause it does THIS:



EDIT: wow the youtube window is messed up, or at least for me. If it is for you, here is the actual link for the video ON youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Je1m9-Dn8c

DOUBLE EDIT: Thank's VoidMage_Lowell for teaching me how the youtube brackets work. fixed

...here's the scripts:

You were transported to map 8 to really bad cooridinates, and you most likely fell too far offscreen past the default position of the core water (it's always there effect wise, it's just set really far down).

 

Just a quick peep before I log off:

Does your <TRA have 5 digits in the original script or is that a typo?
If it's not a typo, I wouldn't have been surprised if Cave Story had crashed on you. Fix that pronto.
Also, I noticed your YouTube video isn't working properly.
Make sure you only use the letters at the end, for example:
For youtube.com/watch?v=wLNBrsOkOg8, you'd use wLNBrsOkOg8 in the YouTube brackets.

@GIRakaCHEEZER

I just don't understand the flashing effect and all of the fading and the random message that popped up again. O.o

@VoidMage_Lowell
YEP. it DID have 5 digits......
let's see if the problem is solved... yep! thanks!

EDIT: now I have ANOTHER problem........

On the outer wall...if you fall off of the ledge...you get the "you were never seen again..." message, then you get the option to retry. I looked at the outer wall map, and it had two of the exact same NPCs (sprite 46, event 42, flags 1100), but one was 4 or 5 spaces below the other. I tried this at the bottom of my map, and it didn't work. So, I went all out and placed the same event on every square you would pass through to fall to your death, and now, near the TOP, it stops gameplay and says that I "was never seen again...screenshot:

the reason they're all 2x is because below all of the fall to your death npcs I have the fire sprite(like in the assembly hall fireplace.)

I don't think it's a scripting error, I think it's me not understanding flags at all.

what does flag 0x1000 and flag 0x0100 do? cause those are the two that are applied to sprite 46 (which is WHAT?!?!?), event 42...

 

sprite 46 = hv trigger
flag 1000 makes it horizontal

you're never seening again at the top of your map because it's acting vertical, and you're crossing it. set the flags that are set on the outer wall, and it should work.


also, there is a limit on the amount of npcs that can be in one map, so you may not want to use that much fire.

About the npcs: My map barely uses any of them. It's a lot of platforming, so I didn't use to many npcs. I don't think I have too much to worry about.

...I put 8 of them, now. 4 on either side. Just flag 1000, no flag 100. I just fall and nothing happens, until I boost directly at them, which leads me to believe you are WRONG Lace, and that 100 makes them horizontal and 1000 makes them vertical.

EDIT: just checked, and that fixed the problem. Was that a typo?

Anyway. I think that sorted out most of my problems. I did have problems with objects calling events that they weren't supposed to, but switching the event numbers around somehow did the trick. Anyway, on to the final segment, which will be near impossible, btw...MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

(it's a pretty short mod if you don't die alot. It involves you doing things in 7 rooms. It's like an in and out mission. The only difference is that the way out is more than just platforming, it's also with a LOT of enemies. Once I'm done with the game, I'll change some music (I've heard that causes a lot of problems so I'll be backing up my data quite a bit...), maybe changing how Quote looks, and MAYBE (if i learn how to do all these things) change some tilesets...but that's a MAYBE...)

 

you are WRONG Lace

wut?
flag 1000 set/unset is horizontal/vertical switch an 100 makes it so that when you whack into it it calls the event.

 

wut?

Well I have 4 of these events at the side of the map, only flag 100 on, and it works at any point when I pass through it. Before I mess up on the whole horizontally/vertically I am FALLING THROUGH IT. I want the event that tells me I fell to be a line like this:

so I can fall through it like this:

Does that help at all? Either way, it works, so I'm happy. Thank's for the help either way.
