**Byllistic** · 03-11-2011, 02:01 AM

Hi, im trying to make a custom story and i dont know anything about scripting.... but when i went to the wiki it didnt help, idk why but it didnt help me for some reason. I seem to learn only from people on the forum Big Grin

anyway, im sorry for being lazy but i need to know how the scripts and how to use them for these actions

1. Make a key open a locked door
2. Have a monster patrolling around/ have a set path
3. Make a note
4. End a map? ( like how to get into a room and have it fade out with like "THE END" or something XD)
5: how to make a monster appear when you walk into a room

Thanks and again sorry for being lazy but i need to know and wiki is useless to me Sad

Thanks!!

Do you have a hps folder? I think the hps file have to be in the same folder as the map file...
