I always do a backup of a map constantly anyway. I've lost 2 maps because I've saved one map, gone on to another then saved that one as the same thing.

water/lava etc. has a big influence on lagging. If you're making a big map I would definately recommend using PVS. It helps hugely with lag issues. Go to the main menu (Esc), Editing GUI, PVS, now I'm not entirely sure what the sliders are at the bottom but to experiment with them I put the view gri...

the functionality is used in a great many places

Ok for anyone else reading this you have to put rnd x withing brackets e.g. (rnd 10)

What is the syntax for guislider? Anybody know?

I know guislider works, to begin with it stays at 0 and doesn't slide, I've tried putting "5" as in like a max but nothing happens.

And also the syntax for the guiradio and whatever the entry box is called would be appreciated

To help me learn stuff like that I checked out the village cfg in the main maps. (assuming you've got that one) Although it wasn't long before I surpassed that simple coding. A handy thing to know: locked door and key door: trigger type 11, trigger 17 (doesn't matter which trigger) key: trigger type...

New question

Is there a way that while playing the game we can have a model to trigger a picture or a content to tell a story like an rpg dunno about picture but you could certainly make use of the newgui function. set a random model trigger to 1. hit F6. (not sure how much you know about all this so I thought ...

so for example I could do:

chosen_number = rnd 4 (the range being 0 to 3)
or
chosen_number = (+ $chosen_number rnd 4)

right?

New question: I've tried doing Number1 = (* $Number1 4) or Number1 = (/ $Number1 2) it doesn't recognise the syntax. Can I have the symbols for multiply and divide? Also, what language does sandbox use? Maybe that would help if I come across anything else syntax related. Old question: Say I want to...

to help even more, some example code: Door (trigger type 11, trigger 1) Key (trigger type 12, trigger 2) key1 = 0 level_trigger_1 = [ if (> $key1 0) [trigger 1 1] [echo "This door appears not to be opening"] ] level_trigger_2 = [ if (= $key1 0) [ //so that you can't pick it up twice key1 =...
