If you want to see how much damage a character has taken in a round, the best you can do is check its HP before and after and measure the difference. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Enraged Slith Agent Member # 27	written Monday, October 2 2006 09:23 Profile #2 New question. Suppose I want a cutscene to trigger after a GROUP of enemies is dead, what variable could I use? And does num_killed_in_town(which_town) even work? Posts: 1233 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, October 2 2006 10:41 Profile Homepage #3 I would place all the enemies in a group, then have a check in the start_state of that town to see if the group is alive. Use num_chars_in_group(). If it returns 0 then start the cutscene. I can't say I've ever used num_killed_in_town(), but I think I've heard others complaining that it is broken. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's......

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Tuesday, October 3 2006 05:21 Profile Homepage #5 In the creatures DEAD_STATE, use the call inc_flag(x,y,1). Then, in the scenario script's START_STATE, use IF calls to check that flag(x,y) equals the number of dead bad guys the party needs to have killed to trigger the cutscene, and then trigger it. Hope that's clear... -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00
