Iffy Canned Member # 8014	written Sunday, February 4 2007 13:30 Profile #2 I mean scripting with the Editor, to make Scenarios.

Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Sunday, February 4 2007 13:41 Profile #3 3 basic sections: begin variables body The body contains states. Each state is called as programmed or by design (see editor for placing specials). Example: The state is #12 as shown by `beginstate 12;`The state ends with `break;`It begins with an if to check the value of flag 0,0. If the value of 0,0 is 250 then end() is called. Following that is a series of messages to be displayed to the character and setting of flag 0,0 to the value of 250. -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours.

Bob. Lifecrafter Member # 6700	written Monday, February 5 2007 09:29 Profile Homepage #9 One could also suggest that once you have a handle on what commands are supposed to do, you play through the original scenarios and then read their scripts. It's rather amazing how much you can learn by seeing the script behind the gameplay. -------------------- The Silent Assassin once scripted a snowball fight. The other team ad-libbed too much. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny? Ushmushmeifa: Lenar's power is almighty and ineffable.

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, February 5 2007 10:01 Profile Homepage #10 Read the documents thoroughly, as well as Westra's cookbook. Once you know enough to actually read a script and get something useful out of it, start opening up simple scenario scripts (Death at Chapman's is nice since Westra put notes all over the place. As are the prepackaged scenarios just because they aren't too flashy) Oh, and did I just peer pressure this guy into designing? Hoo-rah! -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Tuesday, February 6 2007 18:28 Profile Homepage #14 TM was born a scripter! Or at least he learned it so long ago that a time when he didn't know scripting is only a dim memory of the distant past. :P Scripting is tough to learn-- if you have no previous programming knowledge (like I didn't) However, once you know what the hell you're doing it's a short jump to being genuinely good at it. The problem is getting to the point where you know what the hell you're doing. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?
