I thought I responded to this but I must have written a response and left without posting.

Anyway, that's super. I hope you keep with it and keep learning. It can be very satisfying doing things on your own and you will eventully see that you can make for some very cool games. All it takes is a lot of imagination.

I take it you mean FPI EditPad. If not that's OK. Have you tried looking at the help file for it. There is a very basic intro to scripting. Although there is a very good tutorial out there by Nickydude. [Edit]I just noticed BlackFox has a stickied thread in this forum about scripts. Anything you can get a hold of to read is very good thing.[/edit]

cool


You got to start somewhere.
It's been a long time since my first script, but I think it was a landmine.

FPI scripting is a bit strange at first, but it gets easier as you go.
Once I finally understood the concept, I was amazed at how simple it is.

Keep it up.
We all want to see what's next.

I highly appreciate it guys! Not only do I really want to see this idea grow in my mind, I really do thank you guys, and the whole TGC forum for giving me an opportunity to start off on a journey I will experience for a lifetime!

Thanks so much for the support! I don't think I can ever thank you guys enough for what the TGC has done to help.

maybe you should look at that sentence and think of it in logic.

oh, now i know what you thought of!^^

Quote: "3.1.2.22 EXPLODE
Description: This causes the entity to explode allowing it to cause damage. It does not destroy the entity.
Example: :state=0:explode"


look into the script-syntax-list by ched80, sticky on top of this subforum. very helpfull to learn vocabularies needed.

Gotcha!
Oh yeah and one last question.

During the 'Test' Games and the actual building of the .exe game file, does the performance of the game vary?
Or do they both share similar performance (memory usage, entity logic, etc...)?

they share similar, but when testgame is running the editor in the background still uses the same core, turns out in an additional framedrop of around 5-15 frames, depends on fpsc-version, levelsize and the power of your machine /single core-power.
also the final build looks much smoother, dont know why, maybe its colordepth or something like that.
