PtokaX forum

I downloaded this out of the scripts that Optimus is so nice to host. It runs fine except the   a.hint   command does not work at all. Was trying to figure out how to add a auto 2nd hint , say 30 secs after the first one  to add one more letter in it too. The manual hint like I said is not working at all. If someone could help me figure it out i would appreciate it.

Seems to be a really nice script , it might be cause i am beta testing the new PtokaX and there is some incompatibility there.

here is the config file for it:     Jumble.cfg

Then there is also a folder that goes in the same dir:   Jumble

This folder includes the txt file with all the words for the game.

The manual hint is intended for users who jumped into the game late and did not see the hint announced. It's the equivalent of a.phrase.

You didn't leave the lua tabified *sigh*

Please remove my email from the code. I don't want the web crawlers to get it.

To anyone that wants to modify it:

You'll probably want to create a second hint formula. Call the hint function on the first formula.
Wait....
Call the hint function on the second formula (by swapping the two)

You'll also have to keep track of which hint formula is where.

Conditions to consider:
1) User answers correctly before hint1
2) User answers correctly before hint2
3) User answers correctly after hint2

Thinking about... this may be easily done with a hint formula table.
{ Time, HintFormula }
Every second check the table. If current time equals the time in one of the indexes, display a hint using the HintFormula with that index. Then there could be an unlimited amount of hints.
