Skyman's Adikted question thread

[Skyman]

Are there variables that you may use in scripts that say
IF
Player0 lost 1 Avatar
LOSE GAME

or something like that

so that when your starting avatar dies, you can trigger an action..

would love to hear

[Metal Gear Rex]

IF(PLAYER0,AVATAR==0)
         LOSE_GAME
ENDIF

There's also:

IF(PLAYER0,BATTLES_LOST==1)
         LOSE_GAME
ENDIF

Careful with that second one though. Imps count too...

Thanks for your help (again ^^)
More Questions:
1. is there a way to make a campaign? So you can link levels through an interface (like the landscape in original campaign)?
2. When I save my (supercool) level I get a map 2011.03.24 something name in teh free play section, is there a way to name your map properly?
3. In spell Availability there I did not allow the AI to research or use LIGHTNING spell? Is there a way to FORBID it?

thank you in advance

1. is there a way to make a campaign? So you can link levels through an interface (like the landscape in original campaign)?

You can override the original campaign. But creating a whole new interface in Dungeon Keeper, no. Although you can request Mefistotelis if he can make such a thing in KeeperFX.

2. When I save my (supercool) level I get a map 2011.03.24 something name in teh free play section, is there a way to name your map properly?

Go to your levels folder, search and open the LIF-file. And change the ''2011.03.24'' map thingie to whatever you like.

3. In spell Availability there I did not allow the AI to research or use LIGHTNING spell? Is there a way to FORBID it?

The AI can cheat and may decide to use the Lightning spell regardless of he owns it legally or not, and zap your Creatures with it.

About the Campaign making.

In keeper FX there are more than 1 campaing that can be chosen from.

There are about a dozen or so campaigns in KeeperFX.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Achieve what? I'm sorry?

Sure, you just have to make CFG file for the new campaign. A KeeperFX campaign consists of:
- The actual maps
- RAW images with the land view changing while you progress in the campaign
- WAV files storing voice descriptions of each land, before and after it's beaten
- The CFG file which bounds all the elements together
