Bearboys Q & A Center

[Bearboy]

Okay, My Direct mode thing was solved, but I will still have other questions, so, Every question I have I will ask below, and if it is answered, the best answer will be listed underneath my question, making it a q and a. The answerers name will be put next to the answer so they get the credit. Okay? Good!

1.
Q: How do I make it so, in 2.1, i can make the computer, vitellary AND viridian talk in the same script? When I put in (X,Vitellary),
it makes the computer Vitellary as well.

A: say(1, Vitellary)
EXAMPLE
It comes up with a yellow box, as normal.
Then,
say(1, gray)
OTHER EXAMPLE
It's still gray.           -ToasterApocolypse


Q:Anyone know how to use flags? For example, If I want a certain dialogue to only happen once, and whenever Viridian goes back to that part, he says something different? When he says something different, its going to be the same thing every time he goes back. Any other knowledge would be great!   



A:Make a script called script and a script called replace.
Script would say
ifflag(1,replace)
Blabla
flag(1,on)

And replace would say
other blabla

And that should do it.      -RoskillaHulk!!

Ok.

Press F10.

The only tool you can use is walls, but placing backing [with the walls tool] does not impede your progress.

Hold down CTRL for a menu to slide down, keep holding CTRL and use the arrow keys to select the tile.

Any tiles placed will function normally, as in walls are walls, spikes are spikes, but in a certain tileset (outside/warp zone/space station) one of the spikes in the square of them in the selection menu acts as backing.

Selectable tiles change in certain tilesets.

Be creative.

Shut up.

Thanks for answering and being polite.

There's one dangerous thing about direct mode: clicking while holding CTRL will make VVVVVV thinks you are holding down the right mouse button... Until you leave it! It will cause a lot of damage to your level, of course, so be very careful!

To get out of ctrl click you have to actually right click.

What happens if you try without the space?
say(1,vitellary)

What about when I dont want any text displayed after the one script? I've tried leaving a script called "nothing" with nothing in it, but it has the cutscene bars.

Look at this thread: Script commands index and tips. Look at the bottom of the post, at how to make scripts run only once. That's more useful for script boxes, but, while using it in a terminal, it will do nothing the 2nd time you activate it.

[Hilbert]

Make 3 scripts
Call one set1 and put

flag(1,on)

In it.
Then make a script called trigger1 and put

ifflag(1,1)

In it.
Then make one called 1 and put

R,mtdjyrcetvrkutfyrutrtuytrjyr ( random commands)
flag(1,off)


If set1 is acsessable after the script is played, you need to add

ifflag(2,recover1)

At the top of it and put

flag(2,on)

At the end of 1
Don't make a script called recover1 or you will get the bars. Also, don't change the music. That ends bad. Trust me. I tried.
