n00b question: What exactly is the so-called scripting?

[Eidolon]

I've heard about SOC, but isn't there another scripting capability in SRB2 1.09? I was wondering, as I wanted to do some stuff with it.

You mean AutoExec.cfg?

You know what the console is? There are various commands you can type in it. You can also execute scripts from files by typing "exec <scriptfilename>" in the console.
To get a list of commands you can use, type "help" in the console"

If you need an example, try this one:

http://www.rctd.ft6.com/uploads/warp.txt

Use this to warp to maps quickly in 1-P for time attack.

press:

1 to warp to GFZ1
2 to warp to GFZ2
3 to warp to GFZ3
4 to warp to THZ1
And the sequences stays like that to CEZ3.

Press shift to warp to the level you just warped to. (Very usefull)

Edit: BTW, this works in 1-player mode

Uh.... nevermind, anyway can I find a guide to SOC editing then?

Try looking in the Archives for Blaze the Hedgehog's SOC edit.

...or you could always just use AJ's SOC editor

That SOC Editor was meant for 1.09 so it should work now.

 

[Omega the Hedgehog]

It worked for 1.08 too, you know.

The new scripting feature is the Run Script linedef executor and the power its been given. It's what I use in Mystic Realm 4 to display text onscreen. Obviously, you can do just about anything with it.

That's what I was thinking.

My original plan for it was to make Sonic Heroes-style character gates. Yeah, the idea is that old. It'd be fun to make the "gates" go all the way from floor to ceiling and have a map where there's tons of them covering the whole map so you're constantly changing characters while you play on it, buuut as 1.09 makes you have to STOP to change characters, that plan is already foiled. I guess I forgot to mention that during development.
You know, there ARE map-executed scripts as well, still.

It has "Sonic Heroes" in it, so it must be bad.
