Solved random palette

spawn        Lynn-L1
map        1

This is part of the stage setup.
I would like to have the palette applied randomly when the character spawns.
There are 10 colors.

You can use the following script during the spawn.

int palette = (rand()%10); //RANDOM NUMBER FROM 9 TO -9, NOTE THAT 10 MEANS 0 TO 9
if(palette < 0){palette = palette*(-1);} //CONVERT ALL NEGATIVE NUMBERS TO POSITIVE
changeentityproperty(self, "map", palette); //APPLY THE PALETTE

spawn        Shermie-L1
map
@script
   int palette = (rand()%10); //RANDOM NUMBER FROM 9 TO -9, NOTE THAT 10 MEANS 0 TO 9
   if(palette < 0){palette = palette*(-1);} //CONVERT ALL NEGATIVE NUMBERS TO POSITIVE
   changeentityproperty(self, "map", palette); //APPLY THE PALETTE

Can I apply the script like this?

In case you are adding directly in the level file, try this way.

spawn        Shermie-L1
@script
void main()
{
    int palette = (rand()%10); //RANDOM NUMBER FROM 9 TO -9, NOTE THAT 10 MEANS 0 TO 9
    if(palette < 0){palette = palette*(-1);} //CONVERT ALL NEGATIVE NUMBERS TO POSITIVE
    changeentityproperty(getlovalvar("self"), "map", palette); //APPLY THE PALETTE
}
@end_script

I applied the script, but the game crashes.

Sorry, it's my fault to write a small typo in the "getlocalvar" command, like the log says.

spawn        Shermie-L1
@script
void main()
{
    int palette = (rand()%10); //RANDOM NUMBER FROM 9 TO -9, NOTE THAT 10 MEANS 0 TO 9
    if(palette < 0){palette = palette*(-1);} //CONVERT ALL NEGATIVE NUMBERS TO POSITIVE
    changeentityproperty(getlocalvar("self"), "map", palette); //APPLY THE PALETTE

thank you Now with this script you will encounter new colored enemies every time you play the game.

Great idea to have random palettes. you can perhaps do the same for the enemies and offer one or two semi-bosses before the end-of-level boss

Nice. If you don't want your script tags to be redundant with the same scripts, you can use spawnscript for spawning entities in levels. I just renamed this spawnscript file into "randpal.c" for avoiding script redundancy. But for spawning specifics, I use script tags without depending on spawnscript line.

randpal.c:

void main()
{
    int palette = (rand()%10); //RANDOM NUMBER FROM 9 TO -9, NOTE THAT 10 MEANS 0 TO 9
    if(palette < 0){palette = palette*(-1);} //CONVERT ALL NEGATIVE NUMBERS TO POSITIVE
    changeentityproperty(getlocalvar("self"), "map", palette); //APPLY THE PALETTE
}

Example:

spawn        Shermie-L1
spawnscript data/scripts/randpal.c
coords        -20 174
at            400

Thank you. The script has been organized nicely.
