Adding NPC's and items to your map
Posted: June 24th, 2010, 3:12 pm
This tutorial will teach you how to make basic GUI code. This code basically allows NPCs and stuff to talk.
As you can see above, everything is writen in a neat fashion.
newgui - Tepresents a new GUI window, where your character will speak.
newgui diologue1 - The diologue1 text is the name of your gui window.
guitext - This represents what the character will say. Always make sure to put quotations (" ") around the text, and "chat" without quotations, at the ending.
The very last line, after the closing bracket represents the title that will appear at the top of your GUI window.
Let's move on to something more advanced.
."
Adding more lines can make your diologue longer. Keep this in mind when explaining something big in your map.
Adding color tags allow you to color text
The ^fs represents the starting point basically, of where your colored text will be.
The ^f0 is the color of your text, 0 being green.
The ^fr represents the ending point of your text.
These combined allow for scattered colored text.
Here is the full list of different colored text.
^f0 - Green
^f1 - Blue
^f2 - Yellow
^f3 - Red
^f4 - Gray
^f5 - Magneta
^f6 - Oramge
^f7 - White
^fA - Apricot
^fB - Brown
^fC - Corn
^fD - Dodger Blue
^fE - Emerald
^fF - Fuchsia
^fG - Gold
^fH - Heliotrope
^fI - Indigo
^fJ - Jade
^fK - Khaki
^fL - Lemon
^fM - Mint
^fN - Navajo White
^fO - Olive
^fP - Pink
^fR - Rose
^fS - Silver
^fT - Turqoise
^fU - Ultramarine
^fV - Violet
^fW - Wheat
^fY - Yellow
^fZ - Zinnwaldite
^fs - Start of Text
<li>^fr - End of Text</ul>
These allow for a combination of brilliant colors if used in the correct manner.
Next I will show you how to execute your GUI, and make an item for your map.
the level trigger chooses which tag your npc will have. As you can see it's told in the action to show the GUI of diologue1, and to play a sound.
As you can see here, this is something you'd most likely assign to be an item, the action tells it to increase the jumping velocity, to play a sound, to show a GUI, and to show text in the top left corner.
Mixing these unique functions can make for an exciting map. We hope this tutorial helped you in your troubles.
