Scripting Codes 60 through END The below listing of codes are used when scripting Action Points. There are many codes, many with a number of options. This allows you to create unique events in an infinite number of possibilities. If you put the correct codes in sequence there is very little you can't do. Code 60 Drop Party Money ID Extra Codes ID Use: This will allow you to take wealth from party members. This will drop all of the spcified type of wealth. Example: If you specify Gems and ALL, it will drop all Gems from all party members. If you specify Gold and Picked, it will drop all Gold from all currently Picked (See code 14) characters.

Then enter that TEXT ID in this field and it will display a scrolling text of your TEXT instead of a map. You can open the file "Scenario" inside the Tutorial Scenario folder to see an example of this resource. To use styled text you can edit it and simply paste the TEXT into the resource file. All style formatting should be kept. Then just edit the TEXT ID and the STYLE ID to a value from -200 to -300.   Code 63 Alter Game Time ID Extra Codes ID Use: Use this code to change the current game time.

No checks for time encounters or any other events will take place. If you enter a -1 in any field that value will stay the same as it was when you activated this code. Offset Game Time will add the Days, Hours and Minutes to the current game time. Negative values will be subtracted from the game time so it is possible to go back in time. No checks for time encounters or any other events will take place.   Code 64 Branch on Game Time Use: Lets you branch on a test on game time.

Example: #1: -10 (Multiplyer) #2: 1 (Minimum amount per multiplyer) #3: 6 (Maximum amount per multiplyer) The amount calculated will be TAKEN as the multiplyer is a negative. Amount taken will be -10 x (Random Amount from 1 to 6) for a minimum taken of 10 and a maximum taken of 60. I use the multiplyer to simulate rolls in paper games such as 10d6 as demonstrated here.   Code 75 Branch on Spell Points ID Extra Codes ID Use: Lets you test characters for a specific number of spell points and branch depending on the outcome of the test.

Options: None E-Codes: None   Code 84 Check for Registered Scenario ID None Use: Whenever a code 84 is encountered a check to see if the scenario is registered is made and the game will quit if it is not. This can be used as a crude form of copy protection. A good way to use this is to cover an entire level (Beyond the registration point) with a random rectangle, give it a 500 chance to activate or so and have it branch ot an X-AP that only has a code 84 in it. That way if somebody hacks a saved game or something along that line to let them play a scenario this will catch that and give them the big boot. Options: None E-Codes: None   Code 85 Branch on Random Event. ID Extra Codes ID Use: This will allow you to branch to a random Extra Action Point, Simple Encounter or Complex Encounter.
