See your point. I actually wanted to do something among these lines, but when I saw the complicity, I realized it would be like 20 lines of code.
You're completely right of course. I'll have to make a working RNG this time ^^.

Attached is a text file containing code that will allow a character to AppearAt any tile in the room if given coordinates to use. Just populate the variable DestX with your x-coordinate and DestY with your y-coordinate and you're good to go!

This is a brute-force method that I generated programmatically. I use this a great deal in my hold-in-the-works Porthole without any noticable problems other than smply occupying many lines of code.

If anybody can trim this down or come up with a better method to do the same thing, please share.

Included here is a hold which features the input of a name with a maximum of 10 characters. I've put it in a hold because it's linked to certain locations in the room.

It features
-normal characters
-CAPITAL CHARACTERS
-all the numbers from 0 to 9
-other characters like ? , ! . - _ + and *

EDIT: This should be the lines you need for it.

EDIT: Note that it is possible tochange the maximum characters allowed. but it will take a bit of work if you want to change that.

I'll go ahead and post the code for the guardians from my Al Dente 2 hold. It's for an invulnerable monster that waits until Beethro stabs a monster and then moves to his location at that time. It comes in two parts.

The first part is for an invisible character that waits for a monster to be stabbed (not necessariy by Beethro, unfortunately) and then stores Beethro's location into PlayerX and PlayerY. Everything works best if this character is placed before the other(s); only one is required to control all guardians in the room. Someone Else might recognize most of the code:

This one is for the critter itself. It takes the (PlayerX, PlayerY) set by the monitoring character and applies roach movement rules to move there, with an initial "Wait for monster stabbed" to make it start stationary:

Those final move commands need to have "Single step" added to them. Hopefully there aren't any other import/export issues.

While I haven't tried it, I would imagine that removing the "wait for monster stabbed" commands from both characters would yield a character with true roach-like movement. I would also imagine that modification of the last part of the second character would give a character with roach queen-like movement, or a roach with horizontal movement preference, or so on.

This code is free for use* and modification, and all that.


*Not intended for use as a random number generator.

Bumping this one back up, because I think this is a pretty cool thread actually. I've made a script that... uhm... counts stuff. Doesn't sound terribly exciting, I know, so here's the catch: This script allows you to check every tile in the room for something (for example monsters) and then do something with it while using relatively little variable changes, so that infinite loop recognition isn't all that harmful. It will still fail if there's too much of whatever you're looking for in the room, but it should suffice for many cases.

Here's the script, of course completely free to use for whatever:

Lines you could/should change are marked blue. Also note that this script doesn't actually count monsters, but rather monster-filled tiles.

Lucky do you really want wait 1 in there? I'm thinking wait 0 would be a better option. But I may not remember how the scripting works.

I think they're pretty much the same, actually. Both are kind of weird on turn 0 and 1 but work perfectly afterwards. I don't think there are any applications where the difference actually matters, but feel free to prove me wrong ;)

EDIT: I do agree, though, that that is definitely a line that can be changed. Updated.

Nah, the difference is when combined with other actions. Some commands take up a turn (like moving); Wait 1 when combined with these can sometimes wait more turns than intended. Wait 0 is usually the safer bet. I think it's fine in your case, but it's always good practice to use Wait 0 so there aren't any bugs in your code.

Okay, I get your point now. I was talking about my code specifically, where it doesn't really matter (that block is only meant for testing/demonstration, anyway), and I also didn't really have problems with Wait 1 yet, but I'll keep it in mind.
