for the past 2 or 3 years i have been trying to find coders to help me create a game. i know the coding, but only a tiny ammount. none that would really help me with what im needing to do.

i've mailed a few game creators but no replies. (not that i was expecting any.)

anyone got any advice for me?

2 or 3 years is enough to learn a language well enough for you to program yourself. Why didn't you just try to learn? Why don't you try to learn now?

hmm..how shall i put this... i can edit existing codes and use them. creating them on my own, im not all that good with.

aside from that, i got a c++ book from the library. but when i tried using some of the codes it had (and not alot of them could be of any use), they wouldnt work anyways.

and i was told it was c++ coding that was needed.

Er, I've been "coding", (learning) for the past 3/4 months, and I'm pretty competent.

2/3 years is good enough to be a Garthor, or Lummox (maybe).

Did you try coding your C++ examples into a compiler?

Time doesn't play as big of a part ability to learn does.

Type in the search:

"ZETA SOURCE"

You'll get everything you need for an AMAZING game.
And you don't even need to know how to code!

You need to stop acting as if you're the best on Byond all of a sudden. Quit flaming everyone for no reason.

Characters move when you press the buttons, on purpose.

use
Client
NORTH()
blah blah do this


to override movements.

NORTH()
SOUTH()
WEST()
EAST()

It might be wrong, but look it up.

Um, type it in on the developer's section search.

"NPC movement"
"NPC movement demo"

Anything. Should be in there.

what is the code to change maps when you make a character move to a certain area?

the tutorial doesnt have one.

ok...i need a code that allows me to create a small area on the map that places my character into a different map. like a smaller map or larger map.as if walking the character through a door or the opening of a cave.

that a better question for you??

byond 101,
There are several ways of doing a common teleport, which is basically, what you appear to be asking for...I think.

area/bankexit//the name of our area
Entered(mob/M)
if(usr.alltel == 10)//is it a mob that entered?
M.loc=locate(41,16,1)//M's loc equals the x,y,z co-ordinates

Another way of doing this would be to replace the line after Entered(mob/M) with

usr.Move(locate(41,16,1))

or if you wish to teleport to a specific atom on the map

usr.Move(locate(/turf/Home)) //replace /turf/Home with whatever you choose

Hope that helps!

Why do people use the args in Enter() (or in this case Entered() ) and then decide to use somthing totally different?

Enter(mob/M)
if(ismob(M))
if(M.blabla)
M.loc=locate(x,y,z)

In Enter or Entered there is always the chance of usr being somthing totally different, depending on how your game works. An example is if you were able to push other mobs and force them to move. The one that clicked the verb would in this case most likely be usr.
