Multiple Variables.+ Actions

[mercedes]

I'm not sure how to word this..so I'll try my best..

How can I make a hotspot...if one is clicked or another or another is clicked....Actions happen...but the actions change depending on a variable..

In other words..the user can click different hotspots..ok.. if they click the first one..something happens..but if they click another one..the same thing can happen..if they haven't clicked the first one first..yet..

Say there are 10 hotspots...each one can have the same effect...[Load the same Picture lets say] ..only if say they click number 1 hotspot and the action has happened...How can I make it so the other 9 now..have different actions..[load different pictures]

I"m wondering where to put the statement..in all 10 hotspots..? Frame..or where the picture would load..



Hope this makes sense.. If not please ask and i can clarify it more..~


Thanks..!~

Hi,

This is what the "global procedures" are for: you create a single procedure and you call it from several places in your project. No need to write the same piece of code several times.

To create a procedure you simply use the syntax:

[url]Sub SubName (Argument 1, Argument 2, Argument 3)

--- Actions ---

End Sub[/url]

To call a procedure you simply use the syntax:

[url]SubName Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3[/url]
Hope that helps.

I have never created a subprocedure before...I have an idea of what they mean..[laments terms]but I wouldn't know where to start..

But thanks for answering..I'm just gonna give up on this one..If Lyberodoggy can't do it..takes alot of time....I sure can't..I didn't think it would be that hard..lol..



Peace

Thanks for responding~!

No, subroutines are easy to use...

You just need to get the hang of them...

Maybe this example can help you, you'll need to change it a bit according to your own needs (in terms of the action that should happen), and continue up to effect = 10.


Create a variable (e.g. effect)

Add to the VB Procedures:

Code: Select all

Sub Effects
If effect = 1 Then Action.Message "first effect"
If effect = 2 Then Action.Message "second effect"
If effect = 3 Then Action.Message "third effect"
If effect = 4 Then Action.Message "fourth effect"
End Sub

(You could probably also do it similarly with "Select Case")

Add to the Advanced Tab of each hotspot:

Code: Select all

effect = effect + 1
Effects

EDIT
If you want to load images, use this in the VB Procedures (just replace the image names):

Code: Select all

Sub Effects
If effect = 1 Then Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(Action.GetHotspotNumber), "yellow.GIF"
If effect = 2 Then Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(Action.GetHotspotNumber), "yellow.GIF"
If effect = 3 Then Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(Action.GetHotspotNumber), "black.GIF"
If effect = 4 Then Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(Action.GetHotspotNumber), "blue.GIF"
End Sub

Hi there.. I deleted my previous post cause i tried this and thought to ask u something and didn't want to double post..

I have made a Sub called WrongLetters.

Its so if they hit say C D or F..
a "Picture" will load in a different hotspot..not where the letters are..

but it could be the same one..depending on whether or not they hit C D or F....... first..

Did i do this right..? Where do i put Effects=effects+1


Would it be where the pictures would appear or in the advanced of the wrong letters..?




Many thanks!~

If you want to load an image in a certain hotspot, and not the hotspot that the player clicks, just add the hotspot number instead of Action.GetHotspotNumber.

You need to put

Code: Select all

effect = effect + 1
WrongLetters

into the Advanced Tab of each hotspot that the player can hit for this puzzle (C, D, F, etc.).

This works perfectly Mystery..!!!! Thanks

The only thing is..

I need something else now...

I have multiple letters to click from...but only 8 pictures to load..How can I make it so once they have used up the 8 pictures[Guesses]

The game resets..they have to start over now..Clear the board i guess..



Many THanks..~!! whoo hoo..Im so happy this worked..and that was easy..enough..I can remember that one..i hope..



Peace

Sorry, I don't have much time right now to think about it in detail cause I need to go to work, but generally, you could load a blank image in the hotspot with

Code: Select all

Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(Hotspot_Number), ""

and reset the variable effect to 0 with

Code: Select all

If effect = 8 Then effect = 0

(or maybe only if effect = 9, you need to try out).

Hope this helps you on the track, and you can figure it out

HI there..not sure whats going on..but i have this in the Procedures...

Code: Select all

If effect = 9 Then
effect = 0
Action.Message " Please, Restart Game!"
 End If


This in the letters' hotspots that are set to load pictures of letters normally..but once effect = 0 they shouldn't load anything..but they are still loading letters..

Code: Select all

If effect = 9 Then
effect =0
Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(63),""
Action.Message "Please Restart Game!~"
Else
Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(63),"A.GIF"
End If

Any ideas would be appreciated...



Peace~

How about reloading the frame with
Action.Gotoframe Action.GetCurrentFrameName

[mercedes]

That works.. Thanks Guys...!!~


Yay...!! I created a Hangman game..woohoo..


That wasn't easy..lol..nothing ever is for me..so i'm used to that..

I went to open it today..and something was missing from it..so it erased the whole thing...UGH i was so upset..lol...There was 92 hotspots on that sucker..with script in the advanced..

Had to restart the whole thing...




Peace!~
