If you dont have enough credits then the game freezes if you walk into it. Is it because theres no message like "REd Key Card required"? Just wonder if you can fix it possibly so my RPG wont be ruined

In your SC file just use "else". For example, if you must have at least 25 shotgun shells to open door with ID of 6:

export OnMapStart;
export door;

void OnMapStart()
{

}

void door()
{
if( SC_GetItemCount("Shotgun Shell"

< 25)
{
SC_OpenDoor(6);
}
else
{
SC_MessageBo

"You don't have enough shotgun shells."

;
}
}

for the door, you'll need to put a sector under it that will be displayed when the door is opened. Also, under the sector's script command, you'll need "run door".

For your SC file:

export OnMapStart;
export door;

void OnMapStart()
{

}

void door()
{
if( SC_GetItemCount("<name of item>"

{
SC_OpenDoor(<door's id>

;
}
else
{
SC_MessageBo

"You don't have enough <item>."

;
}
}

Actually, i think SC_OpenDoor(); places an opened door sprite underneath it by default anyways, so the extra sector underneath isnt required.

Hey, if it costs, should it lose the credit amount, like:

 export OnMapStart;
export Door;

void OnMapStart()
{
SC_GameMessage("Opening the door costs 25 credits."

;
}

void Door()
{
if( SC_GetItemCount("credit"

< 25)
{
SC_OpenDoor(6);
SC_GiveItem("credit",-25)
}
else
{
SC_MessageBo

"You don't have enough credits."

;
}
}

SC_OpenDoor does exactly this...

1. Plays a eeeeooooorrrrr sound
2. Changes the current solid door sector's passble type to land
3. Changes the bevel to flat
4. Changes the texture to the door track

So you don't need anything else. In fact it uses the same code as the regular open door system.

In this case (as it could be a bug) you can email me your map and script for investigation.

BUT

Yes there is one other thing about SC_OpenDoor (I did think about that) is that the target sector has to be a door. I suppose you could lock it (set a pass, etc.) but it would be more flexible script-wise if the target sector wasn't bound into M2's internal commands.

All scripting, which isn't in the ingame help button: Huh...? :S

Otherwise...start studying scripting man!

"Well, copy the examples and then modify that it should work."

Apparently I can't cut 'n paste it into the game, I just get a "^" sign.

Im planning on making a Meteor 2 Documentation (on the game itself, as i can already see that the editing tools are being worked on

)

Its going to have basic unit specifications (excluding "special" units/"unknown" units such as the mini-sub, RaySub, GNV Spaceship, ect)

Not to mention other fun stuff

I thought mike was doing one

Well, im not sure how long it'll take to get started on it though, as right now i have an addiction to the Code Red mod for Red Alert 2, and I am supposidly going to enter in my review for this one game for Gamehippo (im not a reviewer yet, this is supposed to be a sample one so i can become one. If it is good enough i will use it as my first reviewed game)...

Well, i already know what i am going to do for it (sorta), ive been thinking about it now and then.

Oh darn! I just remebered i need (ok... WANT) to get going on making my one map for RA2 too... not to mention get re-used to Meteor2's editors and all the new stuff... gosh i really shouldnt vouch for so many things to do at a time
