Author Topic: Can someone be able to script me a tournament script or explain to me how?  (Read 467 times)

I posted this on other topics but they told me to first learn to script. Which i am doing and i am half done with the java portion on code academy. i still dont know half of the other things. I want a script that would be displaying a gui that shows the brackets for who ever is fighting in the arena. First the contenders that are matched are teleported in a weapon/armor choosing center. Then winner of the match waits until he is matched again, while the other contenders are fighting, until it is the final of the tournament. Winner sits in the arena throne watching others fight. Is it hard to make one? Im new to this scripting topic even though i am half done with the java portion on code academy.


hey, its really cool that you did go ahead and try to learn programming! a tournament script, depending on the complexity, would be a tough but doable first coding project.

from your post, the features you mentioned can be broken down into a list:
  • a GUI displaying a tournament bracket
  • pre-round weapon picking
  • winner of tournament gets sent to special winner box
  • automatic setup and starting rounds


since this kind of script would heavily depend on the build, minus the gui part, i suggest you start the project first by finishing the build and finish learning how to code before tackling the code aspect, since there is going to be a lot to code and without an existing build you'd be stuck at certain parts in the code. you'll also probably need time to flesh out the small details and learn how to use blockland's scripting engine, TorqueScript - there's functions and things that, although similar to java at its core, involves a lot of other information/functions.

Bl doesn't use java
No but there's a dll where you can use java in bl (although you cannot use any drawing functions)
