Hello gamestudio community. I don't know how to start but since this is my first time here i'd like to introduce myself. I'm Yasin, I live in Sweden and been visiting this site frequently but never actually registered, great community with lots of nice people who share there abbilities like the shaders guy (can't remember his name atm ^^) etc etc. I've 6 years of 3dsmax experience and 2 years of maya 2008 from school so I guess if I have time I can perhaps model some stuff for you guys =]

anyway i've been using gamestudio a5 for a while now, like 3 years or so not for a serious project but for just trying different things out and small self projects. I got a7 some weeks ago.

I've used basketballbens turn based rpg tutorial (final fantasy) and I managed to get it to work with A7 in the past few weeks, i've also added alot of features like class changing, weapons changing, inventory code, another playable character so you are two in battle isntead of one and yes everything is done with c-script. Now!

i'm actually converting teh code to lite-c and i've got some problems.



//////////////Let's says this is my entity pointer:



////////////this is the action with the entity assigned on it


//////////////these are the frames that the array will keep track of


//////////////prototype for the function below


//////////////then we got a function with this called inside it


//////////////and this is the function we called above, temp_npc is who and who is white_mage etc etc



////////////////////and here is that "frozens" code




as u see everything is connected to each other which gives full control, but when I tried converting the code to lite-c I get this error when I run it in Wed. Said something like Subscript requires array or pointer type at line 86 which was function npc_animate(.............)



I would really appreciate if someone could help me out on this part because almost all of the script is based on this style with pointers and stuff inside the parantheses of the functions.

THanks in advance and I look forward to share/learn new stuff from/with the community

Hi Yasin,

just a couple of things to iron out, (i only use A6 myself so if syntax has changed and you know you're right just ignore me )

in the var white_mage_frames[6] = { 2,10,11,31,32,53 };
when declaring an array, don't use braces.

this might lead to the compiler not thinking it's got an array which you've declared you're setting one

and which line is actually on line 86? it'll point it out straight away where the problem is

Hope this helps!

Hey

thanks for your reply but in lite-c you have to use brackets for arrays

the line 86 is the function npc_animate(..........) {...........} inside the brackets, I think it's the syntax that is wrong and the engine doens't know how to handle "&frames" inside the parantheses.

AH never mind found it thanks to the manual, I was supposed to put "*var" instead of "&" when I use arrays inside function parantheses.

Though I realised that Goto doens't work outside brackets in Lite-C so I can't skip some codes and ignore some parts of my scripts in different events. Is there any other way to do a goto command outside brackets in same function?

just use inside the function if it's to just finish
