Resource Daily Word Minigame 1.1

[wrigty12]

wrigty12 submitted a new resource:

Daily Word Minigame - Bring the popular daily word guessing game to your own game!

This introduces a new minigame, where the player has a set number of chances to guess a word. This is based on the popular daily word game you all know and love.

Features

• Daily word tracker, including a streak count.
• Option to specify a word the player must guess. This could be good for password quests.
• Play the minigame using a random word instead of a predefined one.
• Fully editable word lists...

Hello, good person. First off, pretty cool resource! I've tried it and it works incredibly well. That being said, I've encountered an error when I set the word to be a specific one rather than a random/daily. Maybe I'm being stupid, but I really can't get it to work

Here's the error:

Script error in event 7 (coords 32,5), map 42 (-------)
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method '[]=' for nil: NilClass
*** Full script:
pbDailyWordGame("Hello")
Backtrace:
[Daily Word Minigame] 002_Scene.rb:27:in 'block in pbDailyWordGame'
MessageConfig:575:in 'pbFadeOutIn'

Interpreter_Commands:1177:in 'command_355'
Interpreter_Commands:116:in `execute_command'
Interpreter: 130:in `block in update'
Interpreter:86:in 'loop'

I've not changed anything in the Settings besides translating two messages (Defaul won and retry text) into my language.

I think I see what's wrong. I'll push a fix for it later today

Some additional info I forgot to add: The error occurs only after the minigame is complete. It works normally but breaks when I correctly guess "Hello".

wrigty12 updated Daily Word Minigame with a new update entry:

1.1 - Crash fix

The only file that was changed was 002_Scene. You only need to replace that file with the updated one for this update.

Change Log

• Fixed a crash if you ran the word game that wasn't the daily word on a day you haven't ran the daily word game yet.

Should be fixed with the new update.

Should be fixed with the new update.

I'm back from the past to thank you for the update! Just tried it, and it works now. Have a good day, friend

Is there by any chance a way to add a conditional variable after the minigame is played to award the player with a prize if they won? I'm stuck on how to format the script. It's not DailyWordGame.status == true, but is there a way as the script is currently written to do something like this?

Putting pbDailyWordGame by itself in the conditional branch will return true if the player won (or if they have won already in the day and they interact with it again), or false if they lose. Looks like I forgot to add that to the documentation.

So your event would look like

@>Conditional Branch: Script: pbDailyWordGame
  @> Put any of your winning stuff here
 : Else
  @> Put any of your losing stuff here
 : Branch End
@>

Thanks, that worked!

If I have it as a daily game, what kind of conditional check do I need to run to see if they've already played today? That way it doesn't run through either "winning stuff" or "losing stuff" when interacted with?

Nevermind...forgot about the existence of timed events.

You could either
1) set a temporary A switch and reset it based on time: https://essentialsengine.miraheze.org/wiki/Time-sensitive_events
2) Use DailyWordGame.get_daily_word[1] and it will either be nil (if not played today), true (if played and won today), or false (played and not won today)
