[NPC scripting] Using a case inside of a case..

[Checkthisuzi]

Hello everyone!

I am currently learning to script NPC's, and i am facing a problem.

The problem is,

i am making an starting npc, and the player is able to choose the job they would like to become.

Now when doing this, i am using sendSimple, and after that i use a case to give the selections an action.

But the thing is, when they select "Explorer" , they still need to select what kind of explorer they want to be.

Now, this would be a case inside of a case..

Could someone explain me how to do this?

here is the code:

function start() {
    cm.sendSimple("Hello, Welcome to TroepieMS! My task here at TroepieMS is to help you start your journey. Please start by using the job you would like to be.\r\n\ 
#L1#Explorer (Warrior/Magician/Bowman/Thief/Pirate/Dual Blade/Cannoneer)\r\n\
#L2#Cygnus Knights (Dawn Warrior/Blaze Wizard/Wind Archer/Night Walker/Thunder Breaker/Mihile)\r\n\
#L3#Resistance (Battle Mage/Wild Hunter/Mechanic/Demon Slayer)\r\n\
#L4#Heroes (Aran/Evan/Mercedes/Phantom)\r\n\ "); // Choose your job
}

function action(mode, type, selection) {
    switch (selection) {
   case 1:
   		cm.sendSimple("Good choice! What kind of explorer would you like to become?\r\n\
#L1#Warrior\r\n\
#L2#Magician\r\n\
#L3#Bowman\r\n\
#L4#Thief\r\n\
#L5#Pirate\r\n\
#L6#Dual Blade\r\n\
#L7#Cannoneer\r\n\ "); //Choose your job (more specific)
   		switch (selection) {
   			case 100:
   				cm.sendNext("Allright!"); 
   		}
        break;
   case 2:
    	cm.sendSimple("Good Choice! What kind of Cygnus knight would you like to become?\r\n\
#L1#Dawn Warrior\r\n\
#L2#Blaze Wizard\r\n\
#L3#Wind Archer\r\n\
#L4#Night Walker\r\n\
#L5#Thunder Breaker\r\n\
#L6#Mihile\r\n\ "); //Choose your job (more specific)
        break;
   case 3:
    	cm.sendSimple("Good Choice! What kind of Resistance would you like to become?\r\n\
#L1#Batt Hunter\r\n\
#L3#Mechanic\r\n\
#L4#Demonle Mage\r\n\
#L2#Wild Slayer\r\n\ "); //Choose your job (more specific)
		break;
	case 4:
	    cm.sendSimple("Good Choice! What kind of Hero would you like to become?\r\n\
#L1#Aran\r\n\
#L2#Evan\r\n\
#L3#Mercedes\r\n\
#L4#Phantom\r\n\ "); //Choose your job (more specific)
	    break;
	}
if (mode == 0){
    cm.dispose();
    }



	
}

Thanks in advance guys!

Simply putting in the name of the job doesn't mean they can become it >.>. All you did was put names into the script, you need to actually add in the IDS. Also, your "case inside a case" is wrong, your not even making them options, its just gonna be a text, not a button. I would advise you to look up java tutorials, theres a good 1 by Shawn. Plus, learn how to use arrays also, big helper. I'm not trying to sad harsh or anything just telling you straight up.

Edit: If your to lazy to script 1, there's alot of job advancer scripts in the release section.

This still doesn't solve my problem.

i know how to make an npc with a selection, but the youtube video doesn't explain me how to make a selection in a selection....

function start() {
    cm.sendSimple("Hello, Welcome to TroepieMS! My task here at TroepieMS is to help you start your journey. Please start by using the job you would like to be.\r\n\ 
#L1#Explorer (Warrior/Magician/Bowman/Thief/Pirate/Dual Blade/Cannoneer)\r\n\
#L2#Cygnus Knights (Dawn Warrior/Blaze Wizard/Wind Archer/Night Walker/Thunder Breaker/Mihile)\r\n\
#L3#Resistance (Battle Mage/Wild Hunter/Mechanic/Demon Slayer)\r\n\
#L4#Heroes (Aran/Evan/Mercedes/Phantom)\r\n\ "); // Choose your job
}

function action(mode, type, selection) {
    switch (selection) {
   case 1:
   		cm.sendSimple("Good choice! What kind of explorer would you like to become?\r\n\
#L1#Warrior\r\n\
#L2#Magician\r\n\
#L3#Bowman\r\n\
#L4#Thief\r\n\
#L5#Pirate\r\n\
#L6#Dual Blade\r\n\
#L7#Cannoneer\r\n\ "); //Choose your job (more specific)
   		switch (selection) {
   			case 100:
   				cm.sendNext("Allright!"); 
   		}
        break;

If you look at the part after Selection 7, which is cannoneer, i try making another switch, to be able to get another selection screen.

this doesn't seem to work.

if anyone could care explaining this, please do.

thanks.

Why do it like that? Why not keep it simple:

public start() {
     cm.sendSimple("job1, job2, job3, job4, etc ");
}

public action(m,t,s) {
if (m>0) {
if (s == 1) {
cm.sendSimple(" job1.sub, etc ")
} else if ( s== 2) {
cm.sendSimple(" job2.sub.etc ");
}
}

And then, for the second set of selections, make the selections the JobID. I.E. cm.sendSimple(" #L"+idofpirate+"# etc ");

Better yet, make an array, loop through and get ids and names of jobs for each selection according to what you chose.

That is, unless I am not understanding you.

Lol, i already explained to him about arrays. I also explained how that his script is not correctly written and that the his sections are written incorrectly "hinted youtube". You just putted them as a text but gave it no options. Maybe it just me explaining it wrong, i apologize.

Anyways check this script out Aristocat, could help you out
