You actually got that to work? How? When I tried changing the argument for that command, nothing happened.Bombchu Link said:

I didn't have chance to try it yet.
Try opening up WTF? story and looking for this value
PUSH 0ADF85A
that might solve our problems.
EDIT:
here:
these are the three areas
Tested and confirmed.
...
BUT
for some reason when I try the <TXC command it runs the TSC script #0000 and crashes...
why?

Darn it... I wish I wouldn't have spent all that time figuring that out myself only to find out you had just tested it out and posted that. Why would I want to open up WTF? Story though? The original Cave Story worked just fine for finding these values.

Well it shouldn't work the way you're doing it, because you're pointing to the address that begins when the PUSH command does. But then I tried calling one address over, and it still didn't work, as well as four addresses over, and it still isn't working for me. I even tried freeing up some room and directing that push to pushing a value in a memory location elsewhere. That worked, and I was able to edit that value, which changed the color, and the push was referencing to it all right, but when I tried to change the value in that working memory location with a MOV command, it still crashed.Bombchu Link said:
I don't know what to tell you, other than to go a less efficient route and have your condition set by your TSC command make different PUSHes execute, rather than simply changing the value that's pushed first off.

hello again, im having some trouble with something else this time in a mod of mine
im trying to make it so that quotes supposed to have fallen on the ground after an explosion, but he actually doesnt stay fallen, the closest ive gotten was him falling after the fadein, when he's supposed to be fallen before it happens (and stay fallen until after the fadein), but i lost how i made him fall after the fadein when trying to fix it multiple ways.
here are the scripts:
Egg 00 (EggX)
#0301
<KEY<MSG<TURPress any button to
continue._<NOD<CLR
<MSGPress the buttons?<NOD<YNJ0400<CLR
Pressed both buttons.<FAO0004<WAI0010<SOU0035<TRA0052:0400:0012:0010

*sigh* okay Kayya, here's your problem:
You need to put the fade in AFTER you have set the scene up, so basically you should write the script in this order:
1. Make NPC 260 appear and animate to Quote lying on the floor, and use HMC to hide the actual player.
2. Use FAI to fade in the scene (and quote should be lying there because you did it earlier).
3. Do the WAI 50 that you were doing... And then just use DNP 260 and SMC at the same time.
I think you got all the commands right (too lazy to actually check the ANP's and stuff), you just need to reorder the commands so that the command to make the "fallen Quote" comes before the fade in.

Before I go and screw up the game by changing this, I'll ask here.
What is NPC no #127, #128, and#129 good for?
And can I replace and entity with just framarects and make a jump to code of another entity?
Example
#100
Start of code
framarects
JUMP TO HERE*
actual behavior code.
end of code
#0101
start of code
framarects JUMP TO THERE*
#0102
Start of code
framarects
actual behavior code.
end of code
ect ect ect.

I've been having problems with entities recently, specifically with signposts. In Cave Editor, whenever I make a signpost, it uses the script from the entity above it. Help?

EDIT: Semi-Ninja'd. This post provides more detail, so it might still be helpful...
First, make sure that all events that don't call another with an <EVE or <TRA have an <END. Also make sure that all your events are in numbered order in your script, and that they are all four digits long.
If you've verified that the things above are as they should be, then please tell us the event number of the entity that's being called that you don't want, the event number of the signpost you're trying to set up, and post your TSC script here, then we'll see what we can do.

Why would you want this?Bombchu Link said:
Also no, but it is theoretically possible if it's an absolute trigger (if the trigger can go through solid walls). If it's bound to obey walls then this would be much more difficult, at least in the way CS implements them.

I might want and Entity to act differently in a certain part of a map. (Via <ANP)
like programming entities to go somewhere (like up some steps and through a door)
on their own when they cross the trigger.
It's not really on my priority list, but all the same.
Mental note:
learn assembly after Suu No Monogatari 0.2.0

Honestly if you were going to make things that complex I would recommend just learning how to make your own game. You CAN do this in assembly, but it would be such a pain in the ass that I'm not sure it'd be worth it.Bombchu Link said:
