i rearm the guards too so it doesnt matter horribly which stationary guards are kept just so long as they arent causing crashes, i also think itd be a cool idea if they paced a bit so they dont seem so inhuman.

AgraveldTor · July 28, 2012

I have compared the stationary guard script from the V1.7 alternitive file to the 1.8 Version.

V1.7 alt uses an old script and looks stable to my untrained eyes.

V1.8 has more components to its script, including a large section just for "thismarker" ref.

Heres what i mean.

It might be worth also comparing those two to the other version of the completely stationary guards in 'Wasteland Defense v1-7 FULL', to see the changes he made that time in order to promote stability.

Sorry I'm little help when it comes to scripting, I can follow some of it, but a lot means nothing to me. I'm guessing we need somone who really knows his scripting to help. I wouldn't know where to start with identifying an element that causes 'higher chance of corrupting save files and crashing'.

Since it's only the 1.7 alternate moving guards that we know to be stable, it might be best to stick with these for now and put up with the falling through tower floors issue.

I wonder what the difference is between turret and npc behaviour, because turrets tend to stay where you put them.

AgraveldTor · July 29, 2012

Ok so i have spent all day cramming script terminology, uses and all lil idiocincricys (However you spell it) into my head.

Did a few test runs on a test esp, then went back to figuring out WD. Now the fun part. After altering the Stationary Guard Script

I went to save it and, what do you know, Geck wont save the script. I've searched Google, i've spent the rest of my day searching the nexus.

So, sorry but fixing the stationary guard script is gunna take a bit longer.

@kunun - I have all three. There are some differences but the biggest one i noticed it that V1.7 orig and V1.8 both have a timer, But V1.7 Alt doesn't.

we know he said and i quote:

-Removed stationary guard timers and replaced it with a new distance system (should be more stable)

But the really weird thing is, to me anyway, that V1.7 orig and V1.8 both have "ref thismarker" section at the bottom of their scripts but the "stable" V1.7 Alt doesn't.

So, i have no idea if it is just me or what. Im gunna put a call out for a more experianced scripter to come help me and i will stick to building things and ppl.

Im sorry to all reading this, if a tone or mood is in my writing, plz dont worry, im staying with this project.

Reditude · July 29, 2012

it sounds as though you may have discovered the problem with the stationary guards, which if so a big congratulations i wonder if we can get a scripter to come in to at least check your work?

AgraveldTor · July 29, 2012

I can do it myself but my problem is that i cant save scripts while modding WD.

Im using Geckpu and its not saying theres a problem so i dont know.

I will figure it out when i get back from taking the kids to school.

Reditude · July 30, 2012

I've been looking for scripters but haven't had much luck at all so far. hows it comin on your end?

AgraveldTor · July 30, 2012

Between working on WD and RTS, i am not bored. Though my head is starting to hurt from figuring out their processes.

But, for WD, i have created 4 more enemy raiders, multiple blueprints and im working on a faction look-alike system.

I got the idea from here.

But that mod is .txt docs. Im trying to work it into the player comp inside the house so you dont have to use the console on every guard.

Reditude · July 30, 2012

sounds like your having a blast. im going to keep looking for scripters as well i really want to see this thrive and i know it has the potential to be the number 1 mod.

AgraveldTor · July 30, 2012

Like i said before, im having problems saving the altered original scripts. So i have made the new raiders but i cant include them in the raid script, same with the blueprints.

I have been scouring the net for solutions but the best i can find is to use Geckpu. So im am gunna try somethings today and see what i can come up with.

But i am having a blast. WD and RTS are great mods and since noone is working on them, i thought i might take the reigns and keep them going.
