I really liked how citizens kept on appearing and moving through the city in TCB, even after over 2000 turns there was still more that went around! So, I tried to do the same thing with my amazing city (in the making... hopefully it'll turn out great!) but at my horror there was no repeat script!

So I ask you, master architects (or anyone who can come up and tell me how, or when, or even who, though it won't solve the problem), how do we make a whole script repeatable?

P.S.: Don't worry, I'm not plagiarising TCB in any way. I have too much respect for that game to do so. (Not to mention I don't have money to lose in sue stuff or whatever.)

One way is to use the "Goto" and "Label" commands. Make something that looks like this.

Label  RepeatLoop
(Insert all the stuff you want to repeat here.)
Goto  RepeatLoop

That should work.

To make a citizen(at 3,0) walk 2 squares down, 3 squares right,, disappear, then reappear at a certain point, and do the cycle again:

Label "loop"
Move to (3,2)
Move to (0,2)
Disappear
Appear at (3,0)
Go to "loop"

In a nutshell, you put a label tag down, then when you want him/her to repeat it, put a Go To "(name of label)".
Hope that helps.

how do you guys make beethro invisible for a cutscene or make beethro move to certain places? for example where he gets a tour around the library in "the city beneath"

Put Player role "None" in a cutscene and put an NPC in the form of Beethro to appear and do stuff in the cutscene.

And yet you use text so big it cancels out the the secret tags?
