Lesson 2 - Difficulty/Spawning Army Scripts

[sinople]

Hello,

Sorry if I am still at the lesson 2, but I had trouble with my game and I wasn't able to test the scripts before.

So, I still have problems with the difficulty script, may someone help me please ?

A blank text page? I'll try that tomorrow, good idea.

When you install Notepadd ++ theres a little checkbox you have to make sure is checked. I forget exactly what it says now.

When you are starting with a blank script, it needs to say:

script



wait_monitors
end_script

All your code goes between script and wait_monitors.

I just installed it onto another drive to see if I can find which it was. You have to have this option checked:

Don't use %APPDATA%

In order to be able to use the M2TW language.
