if you cannot assimilate the code into your engine, maybe you need to do more research on how to code engines. i simplified the code as much as possible. i would suggest this site.

http://lightning.prohosting.com/~ichinar/tutorials.shtml

i would also suggest tek's tutorials and darkdreads.

it may take time to learn how to program fully, but it also takes even more time to actually do the programming. create your own engine. that's what i did. if you want, i could send you my engines, as they work very well. there's only a little bit of flickering.

programming an rpg takes time, as it's something you can't rush. talk to me, and i will help you. i'm studying tek's engine right now, and will help you as much as i can. e-mail me at

marshall_7ca@yahoo.ca

talk to you later.

okay. i looked at the code. it seemed alright. the collision is good. i tested the code. it worked good.

about doing special things when you get on a special tile. put this in all of the move subs.

sub specialevent
'this sub checks whether you step on a certain tile. in
'this demo, you step on certain tile coordinates, it turns the screen black, but all you can see is the player. when
'you move again, it turns the screen visible again.

if map(worldData.toprow, worldData.topcol) = map(3,6) then

'this checks if you step on those special spots. if you
'want something different (stepping on tile 6 or 7, or
'whatever, scroll to the -----'s...
cls

putplayerpic
endif

'---------------------------END---------------------------



'now, if you want to step on a certain tile that drains hp,
'for example, here's what you should put.

subspiketile

if map(worlddata.topcol, worlddata.toprow).tile = 6 then

'say the number 6 is the "spike tile." if the players
'coordinates equal that special tile, then it drains hp.


mainplayerhp = mainplayerhp -100
endif

endsub

'please note that i made this on the fly. if some of the
'code is wrong, don't accuse me of giving you false code.
'just fix it up. Often all it is is a missing ENDIF, or
'maybe THEN. The qb editor will tell ya PLEASE e-mail
'me and tell me more about your game. i can help you. if
'you don't want my help, then i could give you the e-mail
'addresses of friends that are expert game programmers,
'like Darkdread, or Tenshi or them.


PLEASE REPLY. I NEED YOU TO REPLY SO I CAN HELP YOU>

don't post what you have. it'll be too massive. just post a message that if anyone wants to see a demo, e-mail you, and you can e-mail it to them. download a version of winzip and zip your code. then attach it to an e-mail it and e-mail it... to me!!
