What does ENDM do? It's not listed in my CAOS documentation. It looks like it should be marking the end of something, but I can't tell what it's ending, in the code I'm looking at.

"endm" is the "end of script" command. It's usually used to mark the end of event scripts (in fact, it's mandatory to put it there). It can sometimes be found at the end of installation scripts and very rarely at the end of remove scripts. Risen Angel's Creatures Blog |

Aha. So it's ending the ISCR, which I assume is the beginning of the installation script; also not in my docs. It disturbs my OCD programmer self that the CAOS documentation file my engine generated is missing some rather important commands!  --- Optimist: the glass is half full.

There are people who use ISCR? Usually the install script is simply the first piece of code at the beginning of the cosfile. Much more important is that you end SCRPs with ENDM. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

ISCR was legacy coding from C2. To my knowledge it isn't stored in the scriptorium anyplace and serves no real purpose in C3/DS. But as other have said, yes, ENDM signifies the end of a script. |

I randomly selected the C3 hummingbird.cos file to explore...there aren't any comments, so I'm learning about CAOS by commenting the file as I try to figure out what's happening. It's where I ran across ISCR and ENDM. Is there a more complete reference somewhere for CAOS commands? I'm still bothered by the fact that mine doesn't contain ENDM, since it seems like a pretty important command. --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty.

ENDM and SCRP are described in the Creatures Wiki, as well as in the CAOS chaos tutorial by Aquashee (it also features one of the greatest pices of code ever). |

All you need is the CAOS Categorical Guide, the commented version of the C3 Bootstrap, and a bunch of time. ENDM is one of those commands that's so ubiquitous in programming they probably forgot to put it in. It is important, but it doesn't DO anything apart from end a script. - Liam / K'aeloree Spellhold Studios, a Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights and Oblivion Modding Community |

Oh, boy, Liam, now you've gone and done it. I'm going to be glued to my computer all day! The categorical listing is awesome, having related commands together is SO helpful. Thanks! Horstj, yeah, I found Aquashee's tutorial, it's helping me understand a lot of things! --- Optimist: the glass is half full. Pessimist: the glass is half empty.
