I want to make both me and the computer to understand something. I want it to understand what follows a command.

My main new scripting is Then.
Then basically follows an order. For example, If.. Player at 15.19(Lets just say) Then, warp to.
I now it's unnecessary, but in other examples, it would make a lot less complications between you and the computer.

The other new scripting is Or.
Or is the word that means that this can happen or this can happen. For example, Wait for player at 15.19 and go to level entrance Or Wait for player at 14.19 and go to level entrance.

See? These new scripting commands would make it a lot easier for non-create-scripting players to do this.

So... you're asking for functionality you know already exists?

This promotes random behavior. In DROD, there should be no random behavior (unless it's Chomp).

What he means is to have a particular action that can be caused by multiple different queries, but it is perfectly possible to achieve this with the current commands by having all the queries point to the same label. And in the example presented, only one query is necessary (Wait for player at (14, 19)-(15, 19)).

Random.. behavior... um... Well yes, if the user uses the Or scripting for evil, yes. If not, which should be done, then no.


About the already existing functionality, then if you want to go all confusing then use the things like, well I don't know, Else maybe? Which happens to not make lots of sense in this example only. But, I see where you're going and why.

Oh, now I see. I thought it meant it randomly chose one of the blocks and executed it.
Guess I need to program more...

Since we are talking about new scripting features, I figured I'd put this here instead of starting new thread.

Why not add comments in scripts (but they have to bold'ed to stand out)? Or at least blank line separators? I understand, that labels can be used in such fashion (they indented differently), but you don't comment your code in C++ with goto flags don't you? I thought that this would make the script easier to manage, because instead of seeing a HUGE wall of text, you see nicely documented and clear segments.

Or... Is there something I missed in TCB again?
