Full Version: Just Newbie in scripting...
Can someone help me in this? I just want to know how i summon my custom companion?
Go under Gameplay/Edit Scripts. Open a new script, and select "Magic Effect" from the drop-down box. The text itself should go something like this...
To go with this, create a new spell. It should have one "Script Effect" magic effect, work on self with no duration, and use your new script. (If it doesn't show up as an option, it means it's not a "Magic Effect" script) If you want, you can apply visual effects. I'll leave giving the player the spell up to you, if it's okay.
CODE
scn MySummonCompanionScript
;The script's name
Begin ScriptEffectStart
;ScriptEffectStart will run when the effect first kicks in. ScriptEffectUpdate runs every frame the effect is active, and ScriptEffectFinish when it ends.
CompanionRef.MoveTo player
end

The problem there seems to be that you seem to be asking whether the lever is a mage or not, there should be a space in "Set DoOnce to 1", and the syntax seems to be wrong on GetIsClass. Try this... Alterations capitalized for reference.
CODE
Scn AUGuestScript
short doOnce
REF LEVERPULLER
Begin OnActivate
SET LEVERPULLER TO GETACTIONREF
IF LEVERPULLER.GETISCLASS MAGE
;The game reads this as "If LeverPuller.GetIsClass Mage != 0"
if (doonce == 0)
player.AddItem AUMageKey
player.AddItem AUMageLetter
;you could also use LeverPuller.AddItem, or enable existing (disabled) key and letter
;references above the lever so it looks like they're falling through a trapdoor or such.
SET DOONCE TO 1
endif
endif
end
short doOnce
REF LEVERPULLER
Begin OnActivate
SET LEVERPULLER TO GETACTIONREF
IF LEVERPULLER.GETISCLASS MAGE
;The game reads this as "If LeverPuller.GetIsClass Mage != 0"
if (doonce == 0)
player.AddItem AUMageKey
player.AddItem AUMageLetter
;you could also use LeverPuller.AddItem, or enable existing (disabled) key and letter
;references above the lever so it looks like they're falling through a trapdoor or such.
SET DOONCE TO 1
endif
endif
end
Can you tell me how to add buttons to the "messagebox: ..." script? I've been trying to put a script on item mold, so for example when I press the mold: "messagebox: How many silver forks would you like to make?" Buttons: 2, 1, Nothing, so thats the problem, I can't put a buttons to messagebox.

Sorry about that, you know, I'm kinda noob in scripting, so the problem was in the count:
CODE
player.AddItem AUMageKey 1*
player.AddItem AUMageLetter 1*
Just only problem i have now is the messagebox buttons what i said before. (I'm from Finland, sorry my english)
player.AddItem AUMageLetter 1*
QUOTE
player.AddItem AUMageKey 1*player.AddItem AUMageLetter 1*
Whoops... I always make that mistake until the CS catches it...
The format for messageboxes goes...
CODE
"message", variable 1, variable 2, ... variable 9, "option 1", "option 2", ... "Option 10"
In this case the script would be...
CODE
messagebox "How many silver forks would you like to make?" "2", "1", "Nothing"
The Construction Set Wiki has a full list of fuctions and how they work. I find it an incredibly useful reference.
