Re: Trouble with Chrdeath.src

There should be a guide about compiler warnings and errors, as a complement to the EScript guide. Although they seem pretty obvious when you know them, I can´t help remembering when I was 13 and they made me learn Pascal at school. I would´ve killed to know what "Boolean expression expected&quo...

Re: skillid trouble!

The compiler is telling that SKILLID_HIGHEST hasn´t been declared. As you seem to know how to declare a variable/constant, I guess you made it local instead of global, so it´s out of the scope of your function. If that´s the case, just move the declaration of the constant outside the program.

Re: Weight tallying script and weight issues.

The number "250" makes me think immediately in this setting in servspecopt.cfg: # # DefaultContainerMaxItems, DefaultContainerMaxWeight # These values will be used for containers that do not define "MaxItems" and "MaxWeight" # in their itemdesc.cfg entries. # DefaultCon...

Re: Weight tallying script and weight issues.

I tested the weight of naked character (checking layer by layer, so I have no invisible item equipped), and it's 10 stones. Hooked the status, and the core is sending the same number. Couldn´t find where that "ten" comes from, tough. "Character.weigth" seems to return 10 + the su...

Re: Config File Guide

Are element names case sensitive? I had trouble with the day/night cycle and discovered that light.cfg had LightRegion Background but my script was looking for "background" with a lowercase "b" and so my day/night cycle wasn't working. It´s easier write a test-textcmd than to as...

Hey Polytropon, would you care to share your guide? I'm brazillian, but I can speak a good amount of spanish, and maybe I could spare your work of translating it! I will understand if you want to do it yourself though :D I translated the guided and posted it in the new forum. However, if you prefer...

Packets for dummies

Although I´m no packet-wizard, I think my limited experience may help someone. I doubt the guide is perfect, so feel free to make corrections (or edit if you are a moderator). I tried not to give too many things as obvious, so this would be a good starter guide to the world of packets. If some parag...

Re: learning curve must be lowered

Maybe a couple of guides that are a little less theoretic than Racalac's would do the trick. The Gump tutorial is a good example, as it covers a limited subject and explains how to make it compile. I think it´s a better solution than amputating the core. By the way, when I was learning how to script...

CInt()

Don´t know how to submit a bug, so I posted here. It would be nice to understand why does this happen (just for curiosity). Output of the CInt() function for some arbitrary strings that commence with zero: CInt("01") = 1 CInt("02") = 2 CInt("03") = 3 CInt("04"...

Re: Possible eScript scope related bug

You must write the brackets next to "sfx" to be considered a function, even if that function need no arguments. If you don´t, it will think it´s a variable. as I said before, change: function shot_sfx(attacker, defender, hit, sfx, miss_sfx) to function shot_sfx(attacker, defender, hit, sfx...

Re: Help with a custom weapon hit script

Are you sure the script is even running? (by placing a Print or so) If it does, the problem sould be that you messed with the distro functions. If it does not, maybe you are hooking the attack and overriding the scripts. Or you have a wrong bow which doesn´t have that scripts attached (everything is...

It's pretty easy. You should move it with the function MoveItemToContainer and send it to character.backpack. In fact, it's so easy that I believe you have no idea of what you are doing. :) It should also be on a different script (this script is intended for creating the mount and you want to place ...
