Moving wall not moving one tile per turn (+1)

I just spend the last 2 nights making a moving player-killing wall, was quite a challenge. Had to remove the user made variable to support multiple of these walls by using _MyScriptW.
It's not fancy, but it works.

Anyways, the problem i'm having is this; The further away the wall moves from the left most position, the longer it takes before it does another step.
I have no idea how or why this happens.
Also tried making a moving wall with the Move and MoveTo commands but that failed miserably

Cookies for the one who can help me! :thumbsup

(Also, hi! I'm Rens, been lurking on the forums for quite some while, played the earlier Drods also, and this is my very first post here :blush

Re: Moving wall not moving one tile per turn (0)

I'm inexperienced with the new scripting commands, but my initial guess (based on what I've read so far) is that you need to reset the MyScript variables to their default value at some point or else you can expect bizarre results. Check the docs for elaboration on what I'm talking about.

Welcome! I hope your scripting ambition takes you far!

Re: Moving wall not moving one tile per turn (+1)

You are using _MyScriptX. Let me quote myself:

Wait:
_MyScriptX - Affects the amount of turns to wait (0-Infinity)

And also,

Build:
_MyScriptW - Width of the build range(0-15 - if negative nothing is built)

When width of rectangle of build is 1+_MyScriptW (So when it is 1 it builds rectangle 2x1)
Besides why are you using _MyScriptX and W? Can't you use _MyAtk, def,rep,gold,color,orientation?

Anyway, you should always reset _MyScriptX before using Wait.
For more info I suggest you *selfish advertisement* the Architectopedia you can find in the Architecture board ^^
