What do I need to know to write my own scripts for my map? Do I need to learn some kind of programming language ?

IanOut uses Lua 5.0 for scripting. Lua is a free programming language that is often used in games as a scripting language e.g in Farcry. If you want more information about lua you can find them here: http://www.lua.org/about.html

The scripting is similar to the Fallout 2 scripting language, so there's no real programming knowledge needed, but it will be an advantage if you already wrote some own programmes and know how programming works; and it's easier if you already scripted Fallout 2 maps.

Here are some sample scripts, but I don't know how to attach the scripts to critters / objects / etc. so Sztupy hopefully can post the solution here Smile

A scripted door:

Code:

Item = Classes.GetCurrentItem()
if Item:GetState() == 1 then
Item:ChangeState(0)
else
Item:ChangeState(1)
end

Aradeshs script

Code:

Char = Classes.GetCurrentChar()
Ian = Classes.GetIan()

if Char.var1 == 2 then
if Ian.inventory:CountItem(10) > 0 then
GVar.Set("artalk",0)
end
end
if GVar.Get("artalk") == 0 then
if Char.var1 == 0 then
Text.SetFile("aradesh1.ios")
elseif Char.var1 == 1 then
Text.SetFile("aradesh2.ios")
elseif Char.var1 == 2 then
Text.SetFile("aradesh3.ios")
elseif Char.var1 == 3 then
Text.SetFile("aradesh4.ios")
end
Text.SetPosition(0)
Mode.TalkMode()
else
if Char.var1 == 1 then
Char:Taunt(0,System.GetText("aradesh.sve",11,14))
elseif Char.var1 == 2 then
Char:Taunt(0,System.GetText("aradesh.sve",15,17))
elseif Char.var1 == 3 then
Char:Taunt(0,System.GetText("aradesh.sve",18,18))
end
end

Another Aradesh script

Code:

Text.ClearTexts()
Char = Classes.GetCurrentChar()

if Text.GetPosition() == 0 then
Text.SetMain([[Ahh, Ian. I''ve already waiting for you. I''ve got a quest for you. It''s dangerous, but you can gain reputation in the town.]])

Text.AddLine([[Come what may come!]],3,1)
Text.AddLine([[No, Aradesh, I''m frightened!]],2,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 2 then
Text.SetMain([[Then I will pronounce you DEATH!]])

Text.AddLine([[(attack)]],100,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 3 then
Text.SetMain([[Wery well, I know, that you''re the bravest and most intelligent p[erson in Shady Sands. (:-)) We face the biggest problem Shady Sands ever had. We urgently need you, but with your help...]])

Text.AddLine([[Spit it out!]],4,1)
Text.AddLine([[(you wait)]],5,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 4 then
Text.SetMain([[Don''t be impatient! So...]])

Text.AddLine([[(you wait)]],5,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 5 then
Text.SetMain([[So we couldn''t solve the problem. We have found a small den north-east of Shady Sands. It''s called Rat Base. It is just a small meadow, but the threat our town must face is...]])

Text.AddLine([[Tell me the problem, I''ve already faced wolves, deathclaws, humans, bandits, dangerous creatures, UFOs, nothing is a threat to me.]],6,1)
Text.AddLine([[Sorry I''ve already retired.]],2,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 6 then
Text.SetMain([[A MANTIS lives there!]])

Text.AddLine([[Hû, micsoda ellenfél...]],7,1)
Text.AddLine([[Hah, what an enemy...]],8,1)
Text.AddLine([[Well, that''s too much for me.]],2,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 7 then
Text.SetMain([[For you it''s enough. I''l give you a PipGirl 2000, which is a great laptop.]])

Text.AddLine([[What technology...]],9,1)
Text.AddLine([[I give up.]],2,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 8 then
Text.SetMain([[Mantis is a small green bug. It can fly, but during combat it doesn''t use this ability.]])

Text.AddLine([[And why is a mantis a threat to our town?]],10,1)
Text.AddLine([[What a great enemy...]],7,1)
Text.AddLine([[I think I''l retire!]],2,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 9 then
Text.SetMain([[Go Ian, I''ve already marked the location of Rat Base in your PipGirl, and Shady Sands is also marked, so you can come back. We now, that you''re dumb enough not to find your way back home. Now go!]])

Text.AddLine([[Okey, okey, I''l go!]],101,1)
Text.AddLine([[I''ll go, wish me good luck!]],11,1)
Text.AddLine([[I won''t go!]],2,1)

Map.WorldMapShow(22,25)
Map.ShowCity(1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 10 then
Text.SetMain([[He eats our crops. I am speaking of a WHOLE mantis!]])

Text.AddLine([[What a great enemy...]],7,1)
Text.AddLine([[No.]],2,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 11 then
Text.SetMain([[DIE!]])

Text.AddLine([[It will happen...]],101,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 100 then
Mode.TurnBasedMode()
Char.var1 = 1
GVar.Set("artalk",1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 101 then
Mode.NormalMode()
Char.var1 = 1
GVar.Set("artalk",1)

end

A script of Paszti

Code:

Text.ClearTexts()
Char = Classes.GetCurrentChar()

if Text.GetPosition() == 1 then
Text.SetMain([[Hallo? ]])

Text.AddLine([[Pászti, it''s me Ian. I''ve stolen a phone here in Shady Sands, and I''ve tought we can talk. Imagine: I''ve got an important quest. A mantis is great threat to our town, and I must stop him. Have you heard from Rat Base already? There lives the beast.]],2,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 2 then
Text.SetMain([[No. ]])

Text.AddLine([[Don''t you want to guide me? ]],3,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 3 then
Text.SetMain([[Ahh... ]])

Text.AddLine([[Oh well, but we will talk with each other by phone, okey? I will call you from every location, and you will aid me with your advices. Do you agree? ]],4,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 4 then
Text.SetMain([[Yes. Bye! ]])

Text.AddLine([[Bye! ]],101,1)

elseif Text.GetPosition() == 101 then
Mode.NormalMode()
GVar.Set("CanTalkToPaszti",1)
GVar.Set("PasztiTalk",1)

end

So try to study the .ios files in the "\IanOut\IanOut.dat\scripts" and the "\IanOut\mod\IanOut\scripts" folder and you'll be gain knowledge about IanOut scripting very fast. When Beta 5 is released I'll plan to create a script reference where you can find information about every function and how they work / parameters / etc.

Thanks mvBarracuda. I've analised scripts and they're really simple. I even know now how to attach them But now I stuck with mapping. After conversion of Dims mapper, I can't find any critters and some objects in my map(size of .act file is 0). I tryed to add them with IanEd, but the only thing that I know what to do is level editing I hope that in beta 5 everything should be easier 8)

It's not your fault: the critters aren't converted by PipMapper Sad

So the only way to get them in IanOut map is to use IanEd. ATM we're trying to contact the author of PipMapper to encourage him to continue develope PipMapper.

Anyway: ATM I'm working on a detailed Mapper tutorial where I'll list all mapper keys and how to script critters etc. Stay tuned Smile
