Ok, so. Instead of banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what all the "Acronyms" for the scripts stand for, i have been able to figure out that plrdistfuther stands for player distance further. and I'm guessing that =300 or =30 is the set feet away from an entity correct?

So, plrdistfurther=30 is player distance further (Than) 30 feet. Correct? now the way the FPI edit pad is set up it confuses me A LOT but i still manage to use scripts that people put out for my game. But what i am trying to do is actually learn FPI edit pad my self, and I'm trying to get a basic understanding of all these acronyms. Some parts of fpi edit pad confuse me. Heck scripting is self confuses me, so any suggestions to my question?

You are close. It is actually 30 units, and is a very much smaller amount than 30 feet. It is smaller than a segment actually.

100 units is the size of a square in the grid.

No,just units.

Consider it an abstract value.
One square on the grid has a width of 100 units and a height of 100 units.

OH! like in fpsc how the grid is 40 x 40 right?
My first guess

what is the max value of x?
ok, im getting two different thoughts. One of them being 00 is
infinity
My Second Guess

OR!

what is the max value of x
might be, the max of 5 x 10, you got five but you cant go any higher then 10.. thats another concept im thinking
My Third Guess

better yet, 50 x 400. Greater range but you CANT go past 400.

I'm not sure your understanding of "plrdistfurther=X" is correct.

"plrdistfurther=X" is not a parameter for the player; it is a 'test' of how far away the player is from the entity performing the test.

For example: if you have a door and in that door's MAIN *.fpi script you use "plrdistfurther=100" the FPSC engine will test how far away the player is from the door. If the player is further away than 100 units (or 1 segment square) then the test will return 'TRUE', otherwise it will return 'FALSE'.

X can be set to any value. FPSC used DB Pro float values so technically you can set it to 3.4x10^38, but the maximum distance you can be away from any entity in a level is 540,000.
