Simple RPG

[Zaffron]

So I made a combat system, and for the life of me i cannot figure out how to make it start automatically. It does run, but it ignores the function at the beginning and doesn't run it. There is a similar text adventure I looked at as an example for my own project, and it runs just fine, and it is fundamentally the same as mine in the beginning. Is there a way to call functions outside of a function not in IDE?

[kolosick.m188]

What do you mean by call functions outside of a function not in an IDE? And can you post your code?

[Zaffron]

Oh my god..... Wow... I just realized my mistake. I was trying to put a call in front of the defined function, so it didn't know where to go. None of my code was activated prior to a function call, so scratch all of what I just said. Sorry for the inconvenience. XD I feel dumb. I'll still post the code since I probably have plenty of other bugs I haven't worked out.

It works. Just a hint, you do not need to repeat the statements of the global variables in each function.

I enjoyed playing your RPG.

[tomtetlaw]

I also enjoyed this and I'm making my own as well! Thanks for the idea!

[Zaffron]

Oh....Well then....

Thanks! Should make my code a bit shorter.
