Village News Script

[HaleBlazR]

Difficulty: I made this myself and found it relatively easy.  1/5. 

Well basically the script gets the Player's name and says "PlayerName", heres the news.  And then the news is displayed in the text area.

Code: [Select]

Dim *VILLAGENAME*News

*VILLAGENAME*News = GetVar("VillageNews.ini", "News", "*VILLAGENAME*")
        Call PlayerMsg(index,  GetPlayerName(index) & " , heres the news... ", 7)
        Call PlayerMsg(index, *VILLAGENAME* & "", 9)
Things you need to do...

1)Create Villagenews.ini
2)In it, create
[News]
*VILLAGENAME*News= NEWS HERE

Things to change
1)The villagename is obviously the name of the village you are dealing with, so change that.
2)In villagenews.ini: News here is where you put the news
3)In the script, change the color of the text if you want to.  I set it blue. 

To create more villagenews...
Since your game will obviously have more than one village, then copy this script and put it under another scriptedtile.  Then just edit the things again.

Youre better off creating an ini that you can update every so often instead of having to change the script all the time, it makes things less of a hassle.

[HaleBlazR]

Nono you don't have to change the script, just the ini.

Oh haha I didnt see that in there.

Well Im no scripter, I just had an opinion, but can someone confirm it I might use it myself.

[HaleBlazR]

Go ahead, anyone can use it.
But thats a good idea there...
I wonder...?

[HaleBlazR]

what if a village covers more maps?  :'(

*cough*necroposter*cough*
If it takes up more maps, that doesn't effect anything, nooblet. 
You put the script in, like, the village square.

Yeah, ....we all know by now.....but *sigh* lets face it, not everyone has something thats interesting (or in some cases even relevant 0.o) to add to a discussion

I can't get the script working. I placed the code under scripted tile, and added the script to a map. When i walked on the tile, nothing happened. What's wrong?

you have to change data in the .ini file
