More informations here.

If you didn't found some answer in the following links :
First, ask to the experienced modders on the Ask Question & get Answer thread made by NutJob.
Second, make your own thread.
Thrid, search on Google.
Fourth ..... bah, never gone to google

As we understand that Komag don't have enough time between his pretty tribe and his life to create/edit the traditionnal Superthread, I begin it and if somebody want take the following, he can ! xD

Forever in progress

How about a sticky.

Yeah, if an admin could stick the Q&A thread and this one, it could be so ... nice

*Cute hamster face*

Edit : Sticking done !

Thanks a lot for doing this Doridion,

I go away for like a few days not doing anything on LOG2 and I come back and BAM everything is changed and there is a scripting reference...

Err delete th9is after you read.. Include everything Leki adds ahy

Maybe it'd be good for others add my recent thread about checking if monster is dead. I've created sum up for these who don't want read the whole thread (no wonder if not)

Here's the Link

Doridion, please remove my code examples. They'll cause crashes on exported files. I may be a jerk, but that's going too far if I cause people hardship trying to figure out what's wrong with their modules.

~cheers~
Matt

Edit: you may want to mention somewhere right at the top of this thread "Never store an entity (a real object) into a global variable." {or something like that.} Honestly, I was just doing that to stay organized and for easier accessibility. ~slaps forehead~ I'll never do that again! =)

If you want to post an explanation as to why you shouldn't store entity references in a script-wide variable, you can either link to, or copy bits from, here.

You're not a butt, and i'm not blind

Anyway, i think that some modders will agree with me when i say that lot of your scripts are useful. This thread is exactly for useful scripts. Ok, I understand that your scripts can possibly cause crashes or others issues .... BUT ... I will NOT erase your work there, because he has a problem that can be set.

So, i'll just put your scripts as WIP scripts, you'll let a message that you must modify parts of your script, and found a solution to update these ones. Ok, you'll have to work, found solutions, but it's really possible ( like having a main script In-Game that will store variablers, or modify your scripts that can be placed in-game, etc etc )

When a modder do a very good job, this is not a "little" problem who'll stop/reverse the work.

Like I said, i'll explain and post a warning to the modders against storing variables into external scripts, followed by your link. But i stay on my position concerning NutJob work.
