EZScript: The Flash

[solanatcydl]

Hi everyone,

Regarding to the EZScript mission database, I've started to code more quick missions for several heroes. These missions are supposed to be like comics: one history per mission, in the same way like Benton's EZSCript comics. (Benton please feel free to include any of these missions in your DC blank project)

I am debugging the first mission.
This is what I want to happen: After some interrogations, Flash disarms three bombs.
This is what happens: After some interrogations, nothing.

I can´t find any syntax error, and I'd appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!

Here is the code:

I played this from start to end and it worked fine, although the last bomb did explode on me before I could get to it!

Are you using the final release version of FFX 3.2?   There was a bug in the beta version that prevented the Disarm Bomb encounter from working.

Otherwise, go into FFX3/Missions/Scripts/m25config.py  and change
M25_USE_REPORT = 0
to
M25_USE_REPORT = 1

Any errors should then show up.

Ok, I'll try installing the last version.

Thanks!

What happens?
1.- Start Cutscene of enc2 doesn't play

Yes, I debug the scripts with Superman. It's faster and easier...

Well, the same thing happens in the 2nd chapter of Adam Strange. I've coded it weeks ago, but I don't have time for debugging... and I think it's the same error than here: problem with a certain cutscene and then everything goes wrong.

Thanks in advance!

[M25]

I haven't had a chance to test your mission, but make sure that you have a blank line after each cutscene.

Having a comment after the cutscene is not the same as a blank line.

So this won't work.

Start Cutscene:
Camera on hero
Hero says, "Wow."

It needs a blank line after the cutscene:

Start Cutscene:
Camera on hero

Hello,

I've tried what you said about the blank line and the cutscene for enc2 is now working. The mission stops there, nothing happens after that. Int1 doen't initialize.

Thanks in advance.

[Boalt92]

are you giving int1 a chance to initialize?  meaning: it begins with a start cutscene, not an alert cutscene, so it will not begin until you are in the general vicinity of the encounter.

try adding an alert cutscene using "red arrow on villain1" or "teleport all villains to hero1" or something like that, just to make sure the encounter has a chance to start.

[solanatcydl]

You are right. I was expecting an arrow but there is no alert cutscene...

Thanks, I'll test it!

[solanatcydl]

Everything is working fine! I forgot that alert cutscene!

Thanks to everybody!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do a script with invulnerability for the villains. That's what I want to happen:

1.- Hero meets villains
2.- Hero switches off 3 devices
3.- Hero kicks villains' asses

Here is the code:

Code Select Expand

# Heroes: Any
# Map: liberty park

Story: prueba1


Encounter: enc1
Type: Custom
Actions: Villains Fight Heroes, Villains are Invulnerable, Switches Exist, Invulnerability Can End, Invulnerability Ends When Switches Turned Off
villain invulnerability effect: effect_ffx_energyshield
Villains: alien_sergeant
Minions: alien_warrior
Switches: nazihq_computer_big, nazihq_computer_big, nazihq_computer_big
Next: End


Alert Cutscene:
Red arrow on villain1

Start Cutscene:
camera on villain1
hero1 says, "I will send you back to your planet, scum!"
villain1 turns to hero1
villain1 says, "Even you can't hurt us! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!"

Switch Turned Off Cutscene:
camera on hero1
hero1 says, "One less left!"

All Switches Turned Off Cutscene:
hero1 says, "That's it!"





[M25]

I'll take a look at it.

[M25]

There's a bug in the 'Villains are Invulnerable' action.  It won't work until I get a fix out.

[Zorro]

I put all the files for the mini-mod in the file folders they were supposed to go in.  What else do I need to do so the ezscript mission will show up so I can select it?

[BentonGrey]

Howdy solanatcydl, I've been playing through your adventures and thoroughly enjoying them.  I hope once my project gets released you'll continue to make some that will work with it.  Anyroad, I was just wondering how you put out fires?  Thanks man!

[lmalonsof]

Hi everyone,

first of all, solanatcydl and me are the same person. I will post here as lmalonsof because that's my nick in wikispaces and M25 courteously put my name under the missions. So, I won't post again as solanatcydl in order to not confuse anyone.

going down to the business:

1.- Zorro, once you have unrared the files in the correct folder (your stories and skirmish subfolders of the ff3x folder), you must start the game normally with the ff3 shortcut. Then you go to 'rumble room' and you should find the missions there.

2.- Benton, I am waiting for your DC mod in order to have a standard for EZscript. I mean, from my point of view one of the more important part of a mini mod is choosing the villains correctly. I try to use only the ffvtr standard because simplicity reasons. It will be great when your mod will be released, I'll be able to choose among parademons, villains,... And it will be easier to measure the difficulty level!

3.- The 'fires' is an awesome new option of EZScript. I am trying to do new things with the custom encounters of EZscript. So I am starting to customize the encounters, to use switches, etc. I can put some examples of this in the database. Once again M25... THANKS!!!

4.- One last issue, I'm afraid the invulnerability with objects has some problems too. I'll check once again my script and then I'll post it here for further checking.

It's great you've enjoyed the missions. More of them this week!

[BentonGrey]

Awesome man, I'd like to talk to you about some story ideas, if you feel like it. 

Anyroad, I knew about the fires in the EZScript add-on (although there is so much great new stuff, it's sorta' hard to take stock of it all!), but my question was actually about playing through the mission.  Haha, how do I put out the fires with a character? ^_^

[lmalonsof]

Hi everyone,

Sorry Benton, I misunderstood you. If you want to extinguish the fires (correct me if I'm wrong), I think it's impossible (M25 says in the help file you can't even target the fire). If you want to defeat the robot, you have to take it out of the fires and then use some kind of electrical arrow or something. Then you can interrogate it. The 'trick' of the encounter is just that, you have to figure out how you can interrogate the robot without taking damage from the fires. Well, I know it isn't a great problem to solve but I thought it could be interesting adding things like this instead of the typical 'defeat the robot'.

I'll be very happy if you want to discuss any idea about stories, plots, missions, encounters... whatever you like.

[BentonGrey]

Haha, well, being the bonehead that I am, I just shot him in the fire, and ran poor Ollie into the conflagaration to interrogate him.  Whoops....sorry about those third degrees Ollie!

Ha, cool, I'll send you a PM and we can bounce some story ideas off of one another.

[Zorro]

Okay, I did that and I see it.  Now the game freezes when I go to the rumble room and try to select ANY scenario at all.  Is there anything else that needs to be done?

[lmalonsof]

That sounds very unusual. You should be able to choose the mission in the rumble room, then select the scenario, then the heroes and that's all.

[Zorro]

Well, I finally just deleted the ffx3 folder I had and re-installed.  I got tired of trying to fix whatever problem it was that was making my game freeze when I selected a script.  I'd just rather play the game than cause myself more stress than is necessary.

[Zorro]

I found out the problem after I did all of the above.  I had been using a wrong shortcut (different version of ffx shortcut).
