Counting monsters around you

[Mellowz]

How can I detect monsters in a certain area? How can I script it so it detects a monster (in a certain radius around the character)?

Thanks,

Look at PixelSearch(). You will need to find a unique color for every monster.

not really... i think this would work but you would have to make sure that there is only one pixel on the monster that is a certain color... i suppose you could add some proximity stuff to this and i might do that a little later but untill then, this is working for me in paint... to count dots...

Func pixelcount($x1,$y1,$x2,$y2,$color)
    $count = 0
    $stop = 0
    $x3 = $x1
    $y3 = $y2
    Do 
        $start = PixelSearch($x1,$y1,$x2,$y2,$color)
        If IsArray($start) Then 
            $x1 = $start[0] 
            $y1 = $start[1]
            $y1 = $start[1] + 1
            $count = $count + 1
            $stop = 0
        EndIf
        If Not IsArray($start) Then 
            $x1 = $x3
            $y1 = $y1 + 1
            $y2 = $y3
            $stop = $stop + 1
        EndIf
    Until $stop = 5
    MsgBox(0,"",$count & " final")
EndFunc

to use it, you would do pixelcount((left),(top),(right),(bottom),"(color)") but without the extra ()'s

edit: this isn't working with pixels on the exact same line horizontally... yet

Holly crap I'm so glad I'm back at the point house at the moment and not in the woods. How long do you think these monsters will be around

What are you guys talking about?

If you want to detect monsters you need to get a mosnter detector.

Have you ever watched GhostBusters?

Oh, and if you can't find one, try looking under the bed or inside the closet, that always works
