How do I prevent a dead hero from reviving at the Inn?
As it is not very rationnal that a stay at a Inn revives a dead hero you might want to prevent this from happening in your game.
[edit] If you are using a Inn that comes with Custom.exe
If you are using the Inn that comes with Custom.exe then, all you have to do is going under custom.Exe, editing the preference bitsets and activate the bitset "Inns Don't Revive Dead Heroes"
[edit] If you are using your own Inn
It might be more difficult to do so if you have made your own Inn but not impossible. All you have to do is to use a variable that checks that the Hp of the heroes is not 0, and if so, not to restore them. Let's take a basic Inn script:
plotscript, inn script, begin
suspend player
variable (hero0 hp, hero1 hp, hero2 hp, hero3 hp)
hero0 hp:= get hero stat (0,hp,current stat)
hero1 hp:= get hero stat (1,hp,current stat)
hero2 hp:= get hero stat (2,hp,current stat)
hero3 hp:= get hero stat (3,hp,current stat)
if(pay money(600)), then, begin
If (hero0 hp >= 1) then, begin # # if main hero (hero 0) has least 1hp then begin..
set hero stat(0,stat:hp, get hero stat(0,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(0,stat:mp, get hero stat(0,stat:mp,maximum stat), current stat)
end
If (hero1 hp >= 1) then, begin # if hero 1 has least 1hp then begin..
set hero stat(1,stat:hp, get hero stat(1,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(1,stat:mp, get hero stat(1,stat:mp,maximum stat), current stat)
end
If (hero2 hp >= 1) then, begin # if hero 2 has least 1hp then begin..
set hero stat(2,stat:hp, get hero stat(2,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(2,stat:mp, get hero stat(2,stat:mp,maximum stat), current stat)
end
If (hero3 hp >= 1) then, begin
set hero stat(3,stat:hp, get hero stat(3,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(3,stat:hp, get hero stat(3,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
end
show text box (57)
else
show text box (58)# sorry not enough cask
end
wait for text box
end
Then you may wander but how shall I make my hero revive? Well that easy as pie. You have to create a "revive point" In many old rpgs the church usually plays this role. Go under custom and pick a free tag.Let's say it's tag 15 and that you name it "go to revive" or any name that may help you remember what is the tag for. Then pick up a free text box (let's say text box 45) and put in it "Priest: "Hello my son. May I help you?" (or any equivalent that will not seem strange to the player.) Then edit choice. Make choice avaliable. Yes is choice number 1 (set the tag ON) and No choice number 2 (set the tag off). Then edit the conditionals. If the player's choice is no, then tag is turned off and you turn the line "jump to text box 45 instead" but if the player chooses "yes" you get down and turn the line "if tag 15 = (go to revive)" then "run priest revived dead hero next"
In the same time, include the script in question in your hss file
script, priest revived dead hero ,begin
suspend player
suspend npcs
if (check tag (tag: go to revive)==On)then, begin
variable (hero0 hp, hero1 hp, hero2 hp, hero3 hp)
hero0 hp:= get hero stat (0,hp,current stat)
hero1 hp:= get hero stat (1,hp,current stat)
hero2 hp:= get hero stat (2,hp,current stat)
hero3 hp:= get hero stat (3,hp,current stat)
If (hero0 hp == 0) then, begin # if hero 0 has no Hp then begin
set hero stat(0,stat:hp, get hero stat(0,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(0,stat:mp, get hero stat(0,stat:mp,maximum stat), current stat)
show text box (45) #priest: good luck may the lord be with you
wait for text box
end, else, begin
If (hero1 hp == 0) then, begin # if hero 1 has least 1hp then begin..
set hero stat(1,stat:hp, get hero stat(1,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(1,stat:mp, get hero stat(1,stat:mp,maximum stat), current stat)
show text box (45) #priest: good luck may the lord be with you
wait for text box
end, else, begin
If (hero2 hp == 1) then, begin
set hero stat(2,stat:hp, get hero stat(2,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(2,stat:mp, get hero stat(2,stat:mp,maximum stat), current stat)
show text box (45)
wait for text box
end, else, begin
If (hero3 hp == 1) then, begin
set hero stat(3,stat:hp, get hero stat(3,stat:hp,maximum stat), current stat)
set hero stat(3,stat:mp, get hero stat(3,stat:mp,maximum stat), current stat)
show text box (45)
wait for text box
end, else, begin
show text box (13)# sorry buy it seems that you don't need my service
wait for text box
resume player
resume npcs
end# end for last else, begin
end # ends for the ifs
end
end
end
end
end #end of the plotscript
Save you rpg file, export the new tag in your hsi file and compile you hss file (after saving it indeed). You can now import your .hss file in your rpg save the whole thing and you are ready to test!
