Is this a valid script?

[SawQuart]

Put this under scripted tile:

Case 1
Call PlayerMsg(index,"You are now fishing", BLUE, 0)
Call PlayerScriptedItems(index, item=1+1)
End Case

This would give the player a fish when they step on the tile.

No. Not at all. Did you paste it all?

i dont know what he means? lol?
possibly that playermsg is a command?
Call PlayerMsg(index,"txthere",COLOR)
is basically the command.

Sorry I accidentally pressed enter in the middle of typing it. Sorry :(

[balliztik1]

No worries. No, that will not work.

```
Case 1
Call PlayerMsg(index,"You are now fishing", BLUE, 0)
Call PlayerScriptedItems(index, item=1+1)
End Case
```
There are several reasons. First, PlayerMsg has only 3 parameters. The 4th is used in BattleMsg, but not PlayerMsg. Second, there's no command called PlayerScriptedItems, and item=1+1 is not valid syntax. If you are giving an item, I suggest grabbing up an inventory script. Godlord's is quite popular. Check out the script database. The command then would be GiveItem(index, item, amount). Last, you don't need an "End Case". It's not a valid keyword.

Do these things and you'll have something like this:

```
Case 1
Call PlayerMsg(index,"You are now fishing", BLUE)
Call GiveItem(index, FISHITEMNUMBER, FISHAMOUNT)

```

although; im pretty sure there is still a command without using an inventory script that will do just that; It's bigger though :P
something like SetPlayerInvItemSlot (okay so not that but something or other)

Yeah, there are other options, but it's the same thing as those functions. You loop and find an inventory slot then change the data there. It's just that you'd only need one line to do so instead of like 10 if you just had a pre-made function.

Functions are your friends. :3

I know. I was just saying that anyway in case 'somehow' he can't install an inventory script.

What about if I want a chance of a fish, plus some fishing exp.

That's where things get fun. Check out the Rand(), GetVar(), and PutVar() commands. You can generate a random number, do your calculations as such, then award EXP or not. The EXP will be placed inside a .ini file, added to the value that's already there.

There's a ton of fishing/skill scripts out there. Check out what they did if you're confused on how this works.
