The Epic Maze of Scary Monsters

lol, its just my recomendation, useing gm is a dead end, why limit yourself, its lags with just 10 sprites on screen

They do say, limitation breeds innovation- err, or is that necessity?
Anywho, you get the point. Just look at Silver's games.

Oh yes! I still think it's fantastic how much he did with 7x7 tiles.

yea i miss silvers games. that rpgengine was good as game, he should just add a new level once in a while for us to explore. the inventory system in that blew my mind, i can believe he did that without arrays or methods. but everyone leans towards gm to much when its not even being updated anymore. i think mike deserves some credit for developing something thats far superior and giving it to us for free.

I tried using silver creator, and realized something. I am like a walrus. I can't program very well, but I can adapt.

moo?

I made the simplest game possible. locked door, and a key. It works but I keep finding things that I wanted to use, like the PICT command or the ALERT command, which I couldn't find in the "Scripting help"

[EqwanoX]

thats what we're here for

theres a bunch of alert commands, i can only rememer NOTEALERT and CAUTIONALERT

notealert "hello"

whats the pict command do? if thats like sprites you have to import the picture, give it a name then

createsprite 1, "picture"
movesprite 1, 0,0

No, pict changes the picture of the current card, to the picture in the specified card

Code: [Select]

PICT 5

for example, changes the picture of that card to the picture of card 5. Really useful for low-code games. I must have used it a thousand times in escape the house.

I don't think there's an SC function to change the background picture at all, but I wish there was. You'll just have to add another sprite.
