Description
This tutorial deals with exactly what it is titled as...HP, Days, Money, and all of those other stats. Also it goes into stuff about a sequenced dialogue path.
It is assumed that you have general knowledge on flash (I USE MACROMEDIA FLASH PROFESSIONAL 8). If this looks like a foreign language to you, go to Pacthesis 's page and she has a very neat tutorial on the basics. Then, come back and see if any of this makes sense.
If you are confused, feel free to comment below so that I (In the rare event that I ever come on here) , or another Deviant can maybe help you.
If you think that this tutorial is a waste of megabytes go check out Youtube, kirupa, and Macromedia flash forums for better ones. Also, other Deviants here are way better at this stuff than I am, so take a tour around Deviantart also.
If you do happen to comment on the tutorial, do not be offended if I answer +/- 4 months later. Also, do not be offended if I never answer at all.
If I don't answer your question, and you see that I have answered others (aka it looks like I've deliberately avoided your question), it is only because of one (or more) of the following circumstances:
a. I don't know the answer
b. the answer is in one of my other tutorials
c. you aren't using MACROMEDIA FLASH PROFESSIONAL 8 (All of my tutorials are based off of MACROMEDIA FLASH PROFESSIONAL 8; if you do not have MACROMEDIA FLASH PROFESSIONAL 8, and run into problems, I most likely can't help you because I don't use other forms)
d. I'm not sure what you're asking
e. There's a similar question already figured out in the comment section
If all else fails, send me a note. I will answer those before heading to the comment section.
Happy Flashing

Hmm... Check your variables. Like make sure they aren't weird?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok, well go to the first frame of your thing where I told you to declare your variables. Check to see if they are all set to what they need to be set as. Then make sure that you don't declare any other variables on any other frame after that one. Then take your button, and break it apart until it looks like there's tons of white dots all over it. Then convert it to a button. (if its a movieclip-button, just make it a button for now so we can test it). then go to actions. type in:
on(release){
if(hp>=40){
hp -= 40;
money += 25;
}else{
this.enabled = false;
}
}
if that doesn't work, I don't know whats up. Sorry

How about the result of who you get to date in the end? Like, if there are more than one character :C
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think you would click on the one that you want to end with, and if he had enough experience, you could get the good ending. So you would do the talk function that I have in the tutorial so gain experience and what not. Then when the game is over, you click on the guy you want and if you have enough experience with him you get whatever ending you want.

Um, would this work on Flash CS6? Because that's the one my dumb PC came with, and my mum won't allow me to buy any others.

Honestly, I don't know. Lol. Why don't you send me a note about those other questions instead of crowding up the comments of this thing.

sorry but l got another question ><''
if we choose the right option for the 1st conversation, we would get +10 points right?
yeah, l got the 10pts, however, l do not know why it won't go to the second conversation. It will just direct me to the 1st conversation again and again until l got no more HP left. Weird..0_0
my code :
on(release){
if (hp > 0) {
hp -= 10;
gotoAndPlay("hiyoritalk1");
}else if(hp<10) {
gotoAndPlay ("nohp1");
}else if(hiyori == 10) {
hp -= 10;
gotoAndPlay ("hiyoritalk2");
}else if(hp<10){
gotoAndPlay ("nohp1");
}
}
"hiyori" stands for my exp, since l have few characters, so l used the char's name instead
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
hey, so the problem your having is that you want to go to the second convo right?
May I ask, are you trying to have it so that if the player clicks the wrong answer, then leaves, then comes back to chat with the charcter, they move on to the second convo instead of going back to the first?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wanted the player to choose the correct option and then move on to the 2nd convo if the char has 10 exp for the 1st convo with the player.
However it still get to the 1st convo no matter how many times l choose the correct one :s l've gained up to 50 exp with char until no hp left.
If u know how to solve it, mind to help? :0
Or if possible u could also give me the trick to get the player to the 2nd convo even if player choose wrong option. 'cause l also wanna know how to get multiple endings when chosen wrong options.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok I'm no wizard in Flash, but I finally figured out how to get the player to the second convo even if they chose the wrong answer
Heres my code:
_____________________
on(release){
if (exp == 0) {
hp -= 10;
gotoAndPlay("styxconvo1");
}else if(hp<10) {
gotoAndPlay ("no hp left");
}
}
_____________________
Alright, so you would paste that code on your chat button, then create a completely blank frame. On that blank frame make a dynamic text box and give it the var exp (dont forget to declare your exp variable on your very first frame!).
Heres the code for the wrong answer:
__________________________
on (release) {
exp = + 10;
_root.gotoAndPlay("styxbad1");
}
____________________________
So paste that code on the wrong answer!
And heres the code for the good answer:
__________________________
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("styxgood1");
}
on (release) {
exp = + 10;
Styxexp += 10;
}
_________________________
Paste that on the right answer.......
How the code works, is that if the player clicks the wrong answer, +10 exp will be added to your blank frame. When the player clicks chat again they are directed to the second convo and if they choose the wrong answer again they can still move on to the net convo, and so forth!
If they choose the right answer they are still directed to the next convo
Let me know if that helped~
Oh and if you want to repeat the chat code, just paste it again and change the numbers

Thank u so much!! It's super clear and I will take note of this in a notepad. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not sure if u noe this, but if it's having multiple endings, do u know how to make those like "points 200<500 = best friend"? l know its some sort to be like that though Owo

I'm not too sure, I think legiokat mentioned it somewhere in these comments.......

This code sends someone with say 30 hp to one slide, but if they have 10, to another. Unless you mad two slides the same.
So... Get rd of the if(hp==10) stuff; change your first if statement to hp>=10;
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
can l ask how to prevent the hp from getting a -10hp?
'cause l copied and pasted the "no exp" code to the option button and became -10 when l choose the bad option dialogue. x.x
for example if the player has 10 HP left,
and it needs 10HP to talk to the character, >> HP : 0
and when u choose the wrong option for the character while talking,
the HP becomes HP : -10.
so how do l avoid negative HP?
my code on the bad option button :
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("noexp1");
}
on (release){
var hp = hp - 10;
energy = hp;
}
l wanna make sth like "if hp is 0, disable -10HP" but dunno how. :/

I can't actually view my flash at the moment because I have no access to a legit compute and my phone won't download it; but I am pretty sure I had something with the else, if, this.enabled=false code i there. If its not, ~fishisfriendz or however she spells it, has a great variable tutorial that covers this topic

How do I make names? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
input text box, name it whatever you want, then whereever you want the name, make a dynamic text box with the same name.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So you do this to make the box of where you can write your name on? owo
//like in the beginning of the game there's random name first but then you can change it as the me you want it to : 3
I actually need help with that^^'' And with other things really
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hiya! (: Haven't actually tried it yet, but are the spaces between the brackets necessary (like the enter stuff)? Sorry xD I've been using Ren'Py to code my game, but I now realize Flash might be easier...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no need at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So, } else {
this.enabled = false;
}
}
is just the same as
} else {
this.enabled = false; }} ? Sorry if I'm such a noob TT_TT
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, you mean that! no, I would place those on the correct lines. I thought you meant like spacing between the "=" sign and stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
how can I make something like eg: unlock all character in ending when we unlock ending of all characther...how to make cheat code? how to make gift
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So... You're asking how to create a cheat code? Like input text boxes and such? If that is your q, I am working on it myself actually. And what do you plan to do with the gifts, like give it to a character and then +exp with them?
