Hello I'm still a novice at programming but picking up fast, I made this code, but it's my first time writing one of these from scratch, can anyone lend a hand
mob Thanks alot | |
A lot from what I can see:
mob Note I just commented on stuff - GhostAnime EDIT: Meh, see Hiead's post | |
There's another mistake in there.
rand(0.80,0.85) Will always be 1. Way around; var/increase=rand(80,85) | |
I don't think that is the problem, because I've used this on a different code and it works to how I want it too, example , taking ages to get one Level on a stat, how I want it...
| |
What Mysame was saying is that
rand(0.80,0.85) == rand(1,1) == 1 rand(80,85)/100 In order to get a number between 0.80 to 0.85, we must make them rational numbers (whole numbers) and than divide the number to make it irrational (decimal)...so after it picks a # between 80-85, we divide it by 100 to give us a decimal (lets say it gave us 83. 83/100=0.83)[forgot if the terms rational/irrational are the right ones] (eh this is a rough translation... that's my excuse if I am wrong :P) - GhostAnime | |
mob I tried this code it works fine but when I click meditate it doesn't keep going up, I have to click it to make it stop then click it again then it goes up and soo on, how do I make it so if I click meditate it goes up untill stamina reaches 0, Thanks. | |
1) Learn Boolean shortcuts
2)Learn about while() and break (if() does not loop but for() and while() does) 3) By the looks of it, you still did not understood what Mysame and I were trying to say. 4) Read 1,2,3 and ask us questions if you don't understand any of those :S edit: For #3, read Hiead's post >.> Apparently it's 0 rather than 1.. meh - GhostAnime | |

This is because in many programming languages, when a number is rounded to an integer, it merely lobs off anything after the decimal. Therefore, rounding 1.999999999999 would return 1, and so on. Good catch on the bug however; I completely overlooked it. Hiead | |
Thanks alot, I'm reading the guides now, I just don't get a few things, I read it I understand but I just need to ask a few questions.
So mob/var/love=0//FALSE In the If Function, I would write either true/false, and I would write src.love==1 and if it was vice versa it would be src.love==0, So I would use those commands, src.love==0 for false and src.love==1 for true?? | |
No, what most people do for boolean (True/False) is looking for either ==1/==0
Boolean shortcut is this: if(var) => TRUE if(!var) => FALSE TRUE means ANY value that is NOT a FALSE value (see below) FALSE means a value of either: 0, null, or empty string ("" .. which is basically null). if(var==1) and if(var==0) are the most common boolean-wanna-be checking methods in BYOND (Thank you zeta</sarcasm>) but remember, == specifically looks for that value... so if you have ==0 but at one time made that variable 'null' for the FALSE value... well, there's a problem, which is why people try to make other use that shortcut (and because it's faster+cleaner looking too). The ==0 and null example are asked a lot, because that's the problem in the Zeta code's meditate proc -_-' - GhostAnime | |
Ok I'm learning slowly now, I made a "while" function now, so while he's meditating it will increase the following stats.
example mob But Now I have the problem is that the values on the powerlevel and the stamina go all weird and messed up, like "5.86556e+006" and stuff, It's working to how I want it and I will put an "If" stamina =0 function on there after I can get this to work.. | |
DM makes those wierd numbers appear because it usually can't have numbers with so many...well numbers, so it automatically converts it to scientific notation. That's about 5.8 million in SN.
Also, you must have it return 0 at mod/Move(), because that returns it false and prevent movement. You can probably still move at just return. Lemme help you clean that Up a bit and reduce the amount of lines you have there. mob I haven't changed anything at all, just rearranged stuff to reduce the number of lines. What I did do is rearrange it so it will stop by itself. You don't have to click med anymore. | |
All you have to do is pass the number through num2text() (look it up in the reference) and it'll show it properly.

Ok my only problem now is that, my usr.maxpowerlevel+= and usr.stamina-= are screwed somehow If I run my game on 12 hosting as from now you can see what I mean..
also here is my finalized code mob If you type in Zeus' Nexus on the search, you will see my game, I will be hosting it all night, I'm off to bed, hopefully you can help me out. Thanks you... | |

You should probably have some spawn() in there so it doesn't shoot up and drain super fast. spawn() wouldn't prevent that. ;) Try sleep(), instead. Hiead | |

From this I gather that you don't want a mob to move whilst meditating. Fair enough, good job.
At this point, what branches from if(usr.Meditate) is what happens if the usr is meditating at the time. The way you handle this from this point fully contradicts this concept:
If they are already meditating, why would you set Meditate to 1 at this point?
All this does is set usr.Meditate to 0 if it is currently not 0. Instead, I imagine you'll want to execute a series of statements while they're meditating, and have them stop meditating if they should call it again while meditating. I'll illustrate an example here:
