[CH2] Large Square Counter.

[Triple J]

WARNING: If your level already lags, this will make it worse, depending on how rapidly the sleep duration refreshes the Counter.

So, it looks like I finally got this thing working right.

Below, I have a custom-made Counter that is, by default, set to work with a total of five different Large Squares (MAKE SURE IT IS PLACED WITHIN EACH SECTION OF THE LEVEL DIVIDED BY LEVEL SPLITTERS):

Code: Select all

This activates it (MAKE SURE THE PLAYER IS FORCED TO AUTOMATICALLY TOUCH THIS, BE IT THE START POSITION OR RESPAWN POINTS, PLUS one of these should be at both sides of any level splitters, to make sure the Counter is activated at all times. This even includes going through doors or passages, plus wherever any Move Character trigger takes the player to, especially when across level splitters, and maybe more):

Code: Select all

llitem:6:LargeSquareCounterstart;160;3528;32;64;0;1;activate,LargeSquareCounter

...And the 5 Large Squares (these are already set up to work the way they should):

One:

Code: Select all

llitem:44:LargeSquare1;2064;2952;branch,3,4,s_largesquare1,1:add,s_largesquare1,s_largesquare1,1:add,s_largesquares,s_largesquares,1:goto,4:exit

Two:

Three:

llitem:44:LargeSquare3;72;3440;branch,3,4,s_largesquare3,1:add,s_largesquare3,s_largesquare3,1:add,s_largesquares,s_largesquares,1:goto,4:exit

Four:

Code: Select all

llitem:44:LargeSquare4;72;3488;branch,3,4,s_largesquare4,1:add,s_largesquare4,s_largesquare4,1:add,s_largesquares,s_largesquares,1:goto,4:exit

Five:

Code: Select all

llitem:44:LargeSquare5;72;3536;branch,3,4,s_largesquare5,1:add,s_largesquare5,s_largesquare5,1:add,s_largesquares,s_largesquares,1:goto,4:exit

IMPORTANT: The Counter will not reset upon respawning. I have not tested this using global variables. This uses static variables.

---

If you want to change the total number of Large Squares that work with this, it isn't all that complicated, as long as you pay attention to how the functions differ. (AKA, I'm lazy atm.)




EDIT: Looks like I need to make a few changes. The Counter blocks dialog boxes...
EDIT2: Fixed. Simplified and no longer overlaps dialog boxes.
