Hmmmm... but it is handled not through the NPC AI Script, but a general game script that goes into the game override directory. Oh well, it should be fun just going through the AI script.

Tiring is the word you're after. ;)

The scripts are about 700K in their BAF form.
Just imagine how long they are... :eek:

The enemies. I meant the value of CombatCounter(0) - TRUE or FALSE.

That makes more sense. ;)

Though i fail to see how it makes a trap detecting character "a monster" - it just saves a few mouse clicks, that's all.

Pfft, by my estimates, that will be how long my Mage script will be as well when I am done with it... ... :eek:

My Warrior scripts will not be as long though, since I was perfectly happy with them just hacking and slashing, with the occasional potion drinking in between.

The NIGHTMARE is when I want to compile my Mage AI Script. On my trusty old 266 MHz, it can easily take minutes... ...

You think that compiling long scripts on a 266 MHz computer takes time?

Try being an active forum user with a humble 56K modem! :(

Minutes? And your worried?

If you ever start compiling somthing non-trivial (IE scripts are trivial in the sense that they are not optimised, and are handled in a single pass) then hours are standard.

Or anything in 3d. A c-strike map I once worked on (never released, HDD died and I just coudnt face restarting) was taking up to 72 hours to compile. Yes, thats 3 days.

And that was with a 450Mhz.

Dude, join the club. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

In other news... I finally realised why my Archer failed to use her Call Shot ability... it was 4121... not 3121! ARRGGGHHHH! Hmmmm... wonder what else I can dig out of this script... ...

I know how long 3D FPS maps take to compile. I have heard the stories of Quake maps taking weeks to compile. Oh well... it is a good excuse to take a break. ;)

You... You too?
Oh, i had no idea!! :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]
