NOOBIE QUESTIONS!

[507]

1: Where the heck do I use the zzt-oop code?
2: How do you make the main character in the game move from one board to the next without a teleporter?
3: How do you make a title page?
4: Can the scrolls make an action occur such as "You got kicked - 10 health" or something
5: how do you make people appear in the game? (people as in people who like own a shop or wont let you pass)

I have tried to figure it out but I don't know how to use this thing!

Any help is appreciated.

Now all I need to know is how to make a title screen.

FIRST I'D LIKE TO LAUGH AT YOUR OVERALL STUPIDITY.

HAHAHAHA IDIOT.

Now since I'm in a good mood at the moment I'll answer these questions

1)In objects or scrolls, F1 S or F2 O in the editor to produce them
2)Hit "I" for board info. Then set board to (direction) to another board.
3)Uh... first board is always the title screen...
4)Uh huh

You got Kicked -10 health
#take health 10 #endgame

5)F2 O in the editor for objects..

AGAIN YOU SEEM TO BE QUITE THE IDIOT.

SEE DOS, THIS IS WHY YOU AREN'T AN ADMIN. LET ME SHOW YOU THE PROPER WAY TO WELCOME A NEWBIE.

Hello, welcome to the ZZT community!

SEE, FUCKHOLE, WAS THAT TOO HARD? I THOUGHT NOT.

1: Use it in objects, on the F2 menu. Once you've placed an object, move the cursor over it and hit enter twice.
2: Go into board options, I can't remember how just now. Then change the board -> or <- or up or down boards. Make sure that the path is open between the boards.
3: The first board in your game is the title board and what people will see.
4: I'm pretty sure scrolls can do stuff like that, but after they're used once they disappear, and objects are more useful.
5: Use objects! Then put in code to make them do what you want.

http://zzt.org/?p=help should be of some help, as well. If that link doesn't work (as z2 links seem to do) the "help/faq" button is at the top of every page on Z2. Good luck!

Thats alright I was kinda figuring that would happen.
But thanks anyway Mooseka

You guys may want to fix that downloaded help file because i had to rename all the file extensions from .hlp to .txt

[507]

Ok now this makes more sense thanks guys I'm gonna attempt to make a game.

I didn't know that when you made an object that you were supposed to type the code into there.

[Commodore]

I suggest downloading ZZT Crimes from the archive.

[dave2]

Also, open up other games and look at the code inside of simple objects. RPGs are great for this! Try looking at the code in Town of ZZT or something.

that's so can access them from zzt, when they're in your zzt directory.

[Zenith Nadir]

hi supersonic, welcome to zzt land, we hope you enjoy your stay.

anyway uh

play my games

Also; Objects are far, far better than scrolls. Scrolls are really only designed for messages.
