For example, I am playing with where a NPC haas a behavior, a attack behavior. (goes in the main slot).. I have him using the "follow" script to follow waypoints. I might add, even putting the "follow" script in main, I am doing something wrong, 'cos he don't walk the waypoints. I searched and searched the forum, but no luck.

Can you stack scripts? So you can get several different behaviors?

I don't believe you can 'stack' the scripts in one slot...

I'm gonna ask you something that may SEEM unfriendly, but I assure you it is:

What possible use could you derive from "stacking" scripts together?


FPI is a conditional procedural language, meaning anything you "stack" could very well have just been added to the previous script... so why not just edit one of your scripts and make a new one with the functionality of two?

wow.. the guru answered me why thank you! The example I am playing with now uses ben's "conversation" script, using text. You press enter and it says "beware", then "thieves will die".. then "evil awaits you"..then if you STILL won't split.. POW. you get attacked. I am not smart enough yet to try just stacking stuff up. This particular script loops back to text1 after you finish text3.

I tried the runfpi and have been wrestling with that one man.. all night! "Runfpi" should be a powerful command, if you can get it to work, and save lots of coding. You might put several conditions in there, and run a lot of different scripts, making the game more lifelike. For example, the method of attack the entity uses.

BUT.. I only found 1 post on "runfpi".. and man, I can't get it to work either. But I am really a noob. That's why I'm asking for help.

hmm.. I just did it the way you suggested. Just hacked in another script. Works. Even though there are redundant statements. Script 1 starts with "state=0" then changes states (it's ben's "conversation" script. THEN.. I changed it to "state=0" at the end of Ben's script, and slapped in a attack script.

Works.

Player sees warning messages at statue.. finishes 3rd message and the statue attacks him.

Not elegant. That runFPI action seems like it would be good ..but unfortunately, it is beyond my skill at this time.. duh. Boy I fiddled with that thing ALL night!
