How could I regulate if the user has already picked up that particular '?' ?

KermMartian · 31 Mar 2006 12:58:10 pm

Ummm, my script overwrites the '?' with a space

dopeheaddude · 31 Mar 2006 01:10:18 pm

Yes, but, every time you enter a new screen, ZTOWN1 is loaded. ZTOWN1 defines Str1 WITH the '?' there. All one would have to do is leave the screen and come back and the '?' will be there again.

KermMartian · 31 Mar 2006 01:23:37 pm

Oh. Then don't make ZTOWN1 reload the string for every clrhome.

dopeheaddude · 31 Mar 2006 02:52:18 pm

How would I do that?

Something has to define Str1, because that is the area being displayed!

KermMartian · 31 Mar 2006 02:53:47 pm

Just leave it defined then. Don't keep resetting it.

dopeheaddude · 31 Mar 2006 02:58:52 pm

When you go off that curtain area (the 8x16 screen) a new one has to load, which is also Str1. ZGA checks if you leave the screen, and if you do, ZTOWN1 defines the new area as Str1.

Ahhh, I see. Hmm, let's think about that. How about a list that will store when '?'s you've already hit?

tifreak8x · 31 Mar 2006 03:13:53 pm

Well, you have it search which area it is in to see what item to pull up, right?

KermMartian · 31 Mar 2006 03:38:19 pm

Oooh, that's a good idea. You can build it on that.

tifreak8x · 31 Mar 2006 04:24:48 pm

Basically, just have a list element for each ? and if =0, then retrieve item, if =1 then tell them it is empty. Smile

Yeah, that's what I was going for a few posts ago. Perhaps somehow go for a global (x,y) coordinate?
