Save this as bard_play_helper.bcs in the batclient/scripts directory. // 1. Go to the stage in Skeep and read the instructions there. // 2. Write a play/performance/fight scene, whatever tickles your fancy. // 3. Add the lines from your play to the bootup method, read the comments // for examples of different kinds of lines you can write. // 4. Do a test run or two to find bugs. Go to the room, wear your costume, // start your play and do a run through. It is best to do this once solo // and then to get a friend to watch and make notes for fixes and // improvements. // 5. To actually step through your lines type $bard_play_helper, this will // invoke the run() method which will execute one of the lines you added // in the bootup method. // 6. If you want to restart from the beginning you can reload and boot up // scripts using the standard bat client macros /scriptreload then // /scriptbootup. Seee http://batwiki.wx.fi/wiki/Triggers for details. // ------------------------------------------------------------ void bootup() { clientGUI.printText("general", "LOADED: " + SCRIPT_NAME + " ('$"+SCRIPT_NAME+".help' for more info.)\n"); counter = 0; // ------------------------------------------------------------ // Begin writing your play here using say, emote and so on.
