Blurb A script for a Magic 8 Ball, and it comes with a GUI

Detailed description

how to use: just place in your main sauer folder, (windows = C:\Program Files\sauerbraten) and in your autoexec.cfg (if you have one) type "exec 8ball.cfg"

to use in-game without using a GUI just type /exec 8ball.cfg, hit ESC, then type /8ballsay for it to say something outloud or /8ballecho for echo.

to use in-game using the GUI without autoexec.cfg just type /magic8ball

Update/Changelog:
Made it easier to read for people who need it that way.

Changed command "8ball" to "8ballsay".
Changed command "8ball2" to "8ballecho".

Added function to the GUI so it makes you ask a question and waits a few seconds for the 8 Ball to reply.

Added command "ask8ball" to ask the 8 Ball a question and waits a few seconds before reply.

Added command "questions" for 17 new questions that it forces you to ask.

Preview

"8ballsay" = [say (at $8ballmsg (rnd 20))]
"8ballecho" = [echo (at $8ballmsg (rnd 20))]
"ask8ball: = [
"8ballmsg" = ["Magic 8 ball: Yes." "Magic 8 ball: No."

magic8ball = [showgui magic8ball]

newgui magic8ball [guibutton "Ask the 8 Ball." [questions;sleep 500 [8ballsay]]
guibutton "Ask the 8 Ball in your head." 8ballecho
showgui magic8ball

"questions" = [say (at $questionsmsg (rnd 17))]
"questionsmsg" = [
"Me: Will I be fragged in 30 seconds?"
"Me: Will I be the winner of this round?"
"Me: Is there going to be a lot of blood this round?"

... Tim should get credit for this, he was the one who made it.......

Actually, he made the first one, which then i was working on, but Erik told me how awful the code was, so he gave me an example on how to make it smaller, and i built it off that, so actually the idea come from Tim, however the credit goes to Erik for helping me.

Suicizer | 2010-10-27 01:02

can i first ask, what is an 8ball?

skiingpenguins | 2010-10-27 01:06

a black sphere with liquid inside of it. it's the size of your hand and it has messages on a rotating block-thingy suspended in the liquid. you shake it and it gives you a "magical" answer to your question.

skiingpenguins | 2010-10-27 01:05

please format the script better.. use consistent blank lines and it might be easier to read/edit the messages if they were 1 per line.

i also think that 8ball should be 8ballsay and 8ball2 should be 8ballecho (it'd help differentiate between them)

Sub Zero | 2010-10-27 01:07

skiing, i didn't license it because i just don't care how its formatted, its just a script for fun, and if you want to copy this and "make it better" you can go ahead and i'll remove this, otherwise i don't care.

skiingpenguins | 2010-10-27 01:18

1.) I didnt even talk about the license..?

2.) I only wanted to help you make better/human readable scripts :)

chill out and be HAPPY :)

Sub Zero | 2010-10-27 01:30

dude, i just don't care.... it happens... like i said, if your so worried about it, go ahead and fix it.

DeathStarPC | 2010-10-27 01:59

SubZero you needa chill the fuck out about everything
Skiing, he's right. Its just a script. It doesn't need a licence.

Sub Zero | 2010-10-27 02:02

dude, i am fine, i am not angry, you just need to back out of things like this. i got it handled.

Suicizer | 2010-10-27 02:08

If a script would have a license, it really would be fucked up 0.0!
That probably would mean that anyone else have to write a script on a different way than yours when they want to make the same thing :S!

Sub Zero | 2010-10-27 02:28

blah blah blah, people want credit, i just wanted to post something fun.

Windecker | 2010-10-27 13:06

SkiingPenguins never said anything about a licence...

RaZgRiZ | 2010-10-27 07:25

improved and more efficient:

rndo = [result (at $arg1 (rnd (listlen $arg1)))]
8ballmsg = [Yes. No. "Reply hazy, try again." "Without a doubt." "My sources say no." "As I see it, yes." "Concentrate and ask again."
"Outlook not so good." "It is decidedly so." "Better not tell you now." "Very doubtful." "Yes - definitely." "It is certain."
"Cannot predict now." "Most likely." "Ask again later." "My reply is no." "Outlook is good." "Don't count on it." "Signs point to yes."]
8ball = [showgui magic8ball]
8ballpick = [result (concat "Magic 8 Ball:" (rndo $8ballmsg))]

newgui magic8ball [
    guibutton "Ask the 8 Ball." [echo (8ballpick)]
    guibutton "Ask the 8 Ball in public." [say (8ballpick)]
]

NOTE: fixed some messup i did

srbs | 2010-10-27 07:49

1) Missing the option for command line 8ball usage. -just do /echo (8ballpick) or /say (8ballpick), it works.
2) Doesn't work. -yes it does
3) Not more efficient. -yea, smarter code use in't necessarily better than simple use, but i'd rather not start with that again :)

The only things that should be 'fixed/changed' is formatting the newgui statement, remove the showgui line, and maybe rename the 8ball & 8ball2 to be more understandable.

Seriously RaZgRiZ? You should reply rather then edit someone else's post. Especially when it's not being censored.

Replying your reply on my #:
1) Yeah, make it hard to type...
2) It didn't when I posted.
3) Feel free to one day read and understand te definition of efficient.

Windecker | 2010-10-28 02:54

RaZgRiZ, I can't see editing somebody else's comment with your own viewpoints as something that should be done around here.
It is not very difficult to hit the reply button, and what your doing serves little more than to confuse people.

You should only edit a comment when it needs to be edited.

RaZgRiZ | 2010-10-28 08:49

i know, it was done on purpose especially for srbs, personal reasons and a long story to explain. you shouldn't worry though, i won't be doing the same anywhere else. :)

Sub Zero | 2010-10-28 13:17

jeez, all i see on here is weird-ass stuff, anywho... i'll update the script so the 8ball command "is more understandable"

srbs | 2010-10-28 16:36

haha, I'm kinda surprised you are.

srbs

Sub Zero | 2010-10-27 12:37

*sigh* again with the trying to "make it better" its fine, this is not a serous addition to sauer, this is a JFF script (just for fun).

and if you ask me, its plenty understandable, its simply telling a command that was built to be executed.

the formatting is fine, there are no glitches in it, i am more worried about gameplay than how it look gentlemen, and if any lady comments on this...

now, like i said, if anyone of y'all cares that much, just post your own, and i'll take this down.

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-10-28 18:08

@Razgriz

not nice dont edit what ppl say :)

RaZgRiZ | 2010-10-28 20:37

if you guys keep picking on this i might as well start doing it again by censoring.

SheeEttin | 2010-10-28 20:42

Razgriz: Censorship is only for times when it's really needed.

Everyone else: Shaddap. There's no need to go on for tens of comments about trivial things.
