A Late Night Drink

Billboard is too bright! Tone it down a bit. And the billboard looks a bit big. Make sure the offset or size is not too big. And what you're saying if Player collided with this area, stuff happens and if Player does not, other things happen?

Nah, what I'm saying is that when a player collides with an area (or anything else happens to trigger the script) the script checks if a condition is filled (such as you having an item in your inventory, a puzzle being completed, a door being open, or a bunch of other possibilities) and if that condition is filled it does something. From what I've read, you can also put an "else" in there somewhere for it to do something if the condition is not filled, but I've just been leaving the else part out since any time I've used an if statement I've wanted nothing to happen if a condition isn't filled. Although I'm pretty sure you can get the effect you mentioned by making the "if" statement look for if you're currently collided with an object. Though I dunno if collision is a constant thingy that can be checked by other bits of script. I'll have to look into that. I only started learning scripting a few weeks ago so I'm still new to all this. I think I'm progressing pretty fast though.

Thanks on the billboard. I'm still tinkering with good colors and stuff. Oh and it's not too big, there's just 4 of them lol. I wanted it to look like a separate ray of light was going through each part of the window but it all just bleeds together.

If Player is still colliding with an area, another function can check it. Ever wonder about the int alState sentence in your script? int alState means integer alState. EX:


if (alState == 1 )
{
//(KILLPLAYERSCRIPT)
}
if (alState == -1)
{
//Do Nothing.
}
-1 = Player IS NOT colliding with scriptarea
1 = Player is colliding with scriptarea
(NOTE: I've never use this. I'm currently learning about it.)

Odd, everyone else is able to download it. I just tried the link and it works. You could PM me your email and I'll send it as an attachment.

My post up there, buddy. If you want to, i could give you improvements on how to make this story a serious one, not a joke.

I'm still just wondering what a bool is. Maybe I should look that up.

Bool - used to represent Boolean values (truth values); can represent only two values, either true or false.

Oh, sorry I wasn't clear. I meant I didn't know why the word "bool" even existed in the first place. I'd never heard of that word until starting this stuff, whereas all the other words (Entity, state, if, switch, etc) I'd heard of. I looked it up and it's named after a mathematician named George Boole who invented the mathematical true/false statements. I like learning

I have no idea why the mediafire link works for some and not for others. Weird.
