I need the a script!

Thanks for the play by play commentary.

Please tell me that was sarcasm.

Noooooooo, that can't be sarcasm? Really? I'm glad you told me! (j/k)

Efficiency is not decided by line counts. Two commands on one line is the same as one command on two lines.

Your right.

Which calculus do you mean? Integration and suchlike can be done prior to the actual scripting, so I can't see anywhere where you'd need a calculus function.

Single Variable Calculus, so you can do complex movements and animations. Just for specific instances, like a person walking past a lamp post and his shadow moves according to where he is and how fast he is moving. You need calculus to do that.

Ah, but how advanced are you getting here? Arguably calculus is a branch of algebra, but if we do split them up then I'd say advanced calculus is MUCH harder than standard algebra. Example: Reduction formulae. You often have to try many different approaches before these actually work.

This is low level calculus, mainly integrals and derivatives of a single variable. The actual calculus involved is very simple: it is just a bit of memorization. The algebra involved with the basic calculus functions is complicated. That is what I meant. What calculus are u taking?

I'm kinda ashamed. I'm 17, I started programming at 15, and I kinda feel like I started too late. Still, even newbie scripters like me can get some good results.

Don't be. It's never too late to start. I am 19 and I'm new to this type of scripting as well (isn't it C++ or something), but I totally kick butt in Vbasic. I love trying to come up with original NPC's. I am rather pleased with them (if I say so myself).

That might not be an entirely good thing.

Yet again, I'm never sarcastic .

It can be easy, but it just takes a while. I'd say nobody so far has really mastered it.

True. Again I am also a n00b at graalscript. It gets easier, but can NE1 really master it if it keeps changing/growing (thanks Stefan )?<---- for once I'm serious.

Dirgo would also be fun.

OK, wtf is dirgo???

2 can play at that game, Kaimetsu
