send mouseUp to button "buttonxy" with random chance

[MarkoSato]

Hello,

I am trying to implement an old pokemon game with live code. I can attack the enemy but he can't attack me.
I have a button "Attack1" which attacks the enemy and subtracts 45 from his lifebar.
I tried to implement it so, that i have "send mouseUp to button "bossAttack1" in the script of "Attack1". This works. I attack the enemy and then he attacks me back.
Now the thing is, that it is always the same attacks and same order. Therefore I want to implement it so, that when i click my "Attack1" and damage the enemy
the "send mouseUp to button "bossAttack1" should be with a random chance, for example 33,3% and maybe with a 33,3% change to call "bossAttack2" or "bossAttack3".
But I don't know how to implement it that way.
I hope I could describe my problem well and that you can help me.

Hi Mark,

33,3% change to call "bossAttack2" or "bossAttack3".

Code: Select all

put "bossAttack" & random(3) into tBtn
send "mouseUp" to btn tBtn

Best regards

Can I ask another question?
Now I have the case that when the boss defeats me, it shows game over and "click to continue"
if i press the continue button I want the same card to start again.
I tried it with "on mouseUp go to card 6 (the card i want to restart)" but it didn't work.
Is there an easy way to restart a card with a button click?

Best regards

Hi Mark,

how/where does your game start? In an "opencard" script?
If yes put this into your button "Restart":

Code: Select all

on mouseup
  opencard
end mouseup

If you mean something else, please explain.

Hey,

Dah I am sorry, I just wanted to edit my reply that I found a way but you guys are too fast!
Yes I actually tried it with "call preOpencard" and " call openCard" and it worked
Thank you

Best regards

No need to "call" the handler, as long as it is in the current "message hierarchy" path*!
