dao Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 when you attack a monster or a monster attacks you a red or white number starts floating up. but then i noticed if u get hit again that number that was already floating up disappears and then another number goes back up. how woul i make it so it just adds another one instead of using the same one. it really annoys me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmiguu Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 What he is saying is that iii is the height for the damage text. If you wanted it to keep going up, just make something like iiii and iiiii or w/e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dao Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 so keep making those? *confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hell no, that'd be a mess.Store them in a circular array, give it a size of 10 or so, then just write up a simple code that allows the values to be cycled through in that array. Basically, everytime a new packet came in with a new set of data for some damage text, the array would load in that new value, and load OUT the oldest value. It's a very clever little thing, the circular array.Personally, I use it as a system to store text within a custom "textbox" for my chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmiguu Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Use Robin's method. It's basically a very refined concept of what Ballie and I were trying to explain to you. He used a diagram and it makes more sense with the visual aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dao Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 yea but idk what code to do or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 As you can possibly imagine, I'm getting a bit bored of having to tutorialise everything.I try and help people with it first, if they don't even try to do it themselves I just stay clear of the topic.I think that's fair. Wait for Ballie to post his tutorial :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balliztik1 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I generally hate doing it too, Robin, but I've gotten so used to tutorials that it's no big deal anymore. Besides, I'm going for a teaching degree, and it has to start somewhere, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
