This was an engine I created in about two hours on the weekend. Basically, it's an inventory system using Exo's new $string character functions. Everything's fully documented, so I won't bother explaining it here. I could also have used the bitplaces stuff, but I'm more comfortable with this system.

wow, 12 downloads and not a single comment... I've been trying to fix the drop code, I'm probably just going to recode it though.

[qwertie]

instead of copy 'thisx' 'thisy' use
duplicate self. ex:

."@robot"
. "Just to make sure the duplicated robot doesent duplicate itself again"
wait 1 

duplicate self at "xcount" "ycount"
send at "xcount" "ycount" to "go"
die
: "go"
*"I am the duplicated robot!"
end

Or sometimes if you know that the original robots position will be absolute,

This code assumes original robot stays at 2, 2

."@robot"
if not at 2 2 "go"
duplicate self "xcount" "ycount"
die
:go
*"I am the duplicated robot at &thisx&, &thisy&!"
end

Edit: Forgot to close code tag

EDIT: Attachment removed, download from next post
If you haven't already I think i fixed your drop code,

Heres the edited mzx file.
I fixed the baloon sword and rope(not the example rope) items in the board.
you can see what lines i replaced(at the bottom) and fix the rest your self.

d is still the drop key.

That extra robot with the :keyo i made so i could see what was going on behind the overlay,
and the *"&bit& &diry&... line was also debug info, both can be removed.

did you know how to use rel first and rel last?

EDIT: Where you say bit, dont you mean byte?
bit = 0 or 1
byte = 8 bits
EDIT2: I also changed some of the robots at the top of the code.

I cleaned it up some more. Now all the items work, Once you drop an item, the copy is removed from the top row, and it knows when you have nothing to drop (Before you could drop the first thing you picked up over and over.

Heh, ironic. I just got it cleaned up last night also

[Revvy]

Right, here's MY version, which I did without seeing qwetie's. I only followed his advice.

Did you take a glance at my code at all?
You are overcomplicating things.
That line of code with the expression that adds dirx and diry to playerx and playery can be made much simpler.

rel player last
copy "bit" 0 "dirx" "diry"

With commands that use two coordinate sets you can use rel player first and rel player last. I once used those line of code for a ZZT-Style bomb engine, which was never released. And you need to lockself the inventory robot when D is pressed and unlock it after the item is dropped.(I can hold D and drop an item several times.)

Sorry for bringing up a rather old topic but I dont get to be at a MZX-Enabled computer very often.(I have XP at home), im using my grandparents win98 comp.

You should be able to get Mzx working with it. Have you tried telling it to enter Windows 98 compatibility mode?

The worst thing that could happen is having to use a bootdisk.

[qwertie]

Frobozz : OF COURSE I TRIED THAT...

Has anyone experimented with the compatability toolkit on the XP cd?
If you can get a good MZX Conf tell me.
Actually I can get mzx to work, just it has NO EMS...Which really really complicates things.

I actually downloaded a 30 day trial of VmWare Workstation and made a virtual machine with win98 on it that was a few months ago, my 30days has long since run out and im not going to pay 500$ to make mzx run.

/me feels stupid now.

Urgh, I forgot about it. Oh well. And I like your signature a lot
