is there a scripting program for ET or was it doom3 scripting
sounds like a good idea anyway and should be fairly easy to get the imports from a .map file since the file sctructure is quite simple and can be read stright from notepad
however when you say school project do you mean things like college/university or actuly school. programing a script editor with useful stuff like syntax suport and entity handeling isnt hard but definatly requires a good knowledge of programing that i would not expect to find in a school pupil
if you do decide to make it then one surgestion would be to have it in a sorta multi parts script rather then in one big file like in the final script. e.g. so you have the section for the teamdoor entity. a scetion for the tank enetiy. reduces the amount of text to search though
use colour coded text to show script syntax, valid entity name, invalid entity name, and erros and comments, accumms etc. thie reduced a lot of complexity when looking at something like a script where inexperienced users will just see a page of meaningless text. colour coding helps then out a lot
a VB style thing when typeing syntax in would be awsome (if somewhat advanced feature) to show all the avaidable things to start with at a point and save time writing them all out when u just get to the right one and hit space
thats all i can realy thing off. like programing no matter how good you editor if you dont know scripting its useless and there inst realy any way you could make you editor help the user actuly write the script to do what they want but just make sure that its all correct and make variables/entites/accums etc easier to find
so…
