Shorter ways of scripting?

[WanDaMan]

Well.. Say I wanted to make a few movies like the ones Shaded Legends had, is there a way to make the script short instead of writing loads..
Like

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created){

dir = 3;

setcharani walk,;

move 10,0,3,0;

sleep 3;



dir = 2;

move 0,10,3,0;

sleep 3;



dir = 3;

move 10,0,3,0;

sleep 3;

}

---

Over and over again.. So I was wondering if it could be made shorter..? or be shortend..
Any suggestions might help

make a gani movie?

Alt+6 Records you in an offline level. A text file (script) is then saved in your Graal2001 folder. Works wonders for moves.

Heh. I used alt+6 one time to see how I pk, but it only works offline. I would like to see how I pk online. That would be cool.
Gani movie is a nice way to go to make those type of cut-scenes.

Jagen, I got a question though. Is there a variable that gives the length of a gani movie?

And if you don't want to make a gani movie there is also the option of making it with an animated graphic file, but that is quite hard.

Just make a template script that you import strings and variables into.
DUH.

But it'd still be a bit long Zero..
I might try that alt + 6 recording feature, thanks guys :]

I'd try a gani, but that's just mad!!
Same for GFX too

Thanks for replying :]

edit
alt + 6 uses x += 1; etc

yes, but if its going to be for individual viewing, then whats wrong with a timeout of 0.05 clientside. It will look like a normal player.

nope

gani movie is your best bet, a complicated movie will be much much more efficiently run through a gani movie than a bunch of scripts, or one big script
