I have been following the Zombie Attack tutorial http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/zombie-apocalypse-1.html and trying to incorporate this coding into my game. During my attack turnscript.
...
foreach (obj, GetDirectChildren(player.parent)) {
if (HasBoolean(obj, "dead")) {
if (not obj.dead) {
DoAttack (obj, obj, player)
}
}
}

...

When the player enters the room, the Algonquins immediately attack. Is there a way to make it so that the Algonquins only attack, if they are attacked first?

You could modify the player's attack command so that it sets a flag on the enemy when you attack them, and then add a condition if (GetBoolean (obj, "hasattacked")) { before making them attack.

Or if you want to make them all attack when the player attacks any of them, you could set a flag on the room, to show that a fight has started. Use an if condition to test for that in the turnscript.

Or even have the turnscript disabled, and have the player's "attack" command enable it.

Thank you, I enabled the turnscript on the attack command. Worked!

New problem,

Now once I start an attack on one person in one room, then all the people in other rooms attack. In other words, I kill the mountain lion in the north, then head south and the French starting attacking me!

Here's what the code looks like:

EnableTurnScript (attackturnscript)
if (not HasBoolean(object, "dead")) {
msg ("That's not something you can attack.")
}
else if (object.dead) {
msg ("That one is already dead.")
}
else {
if (player.equipped = null) {
DoAttack (player, player, object)
}
else {
DoAttack (player, player.equipped, object)
}
}

That'll be because you've only got one turnscript to enable, so it enables it everywhere.

If you want it to apply for each room, then you'd give each room a flag to say a fight has started there. For example:
attack command:

if (not HasBoolean(object, "dead")) {
  msg ("That's not something you can attack.")
}
else if (object.dead) {
  msg ("That one is already dead.")
}
else {
  player.parent.fightstarted = true
  if (player.equipped = null) {
    DoAttack (player, player, object)
  }
  else {
    DoAttack (player, player.equipped, object)
  }
}

and the turnscript:

if (GetBoolean (player.parent, "fightstarted")) {
  foreach (obj, GetDirectChildren(player.parent)) {
    if (HasBoolean(obj, "dead")) {
      if (not obj.dead) {
        DoAttack (obj, obj, player)
      }
    }
  }
}

Thank you, I think that did it.

I would think the get remove the option to stop all the enemies following you. Unless The Pixie updated his code and I didn't know about it.
