But where is ov50 initially set (and what is its significance)?   Mad Scientist clohse     8/13/2013 Thanks for checking it out. Ov50 is the sprout countdown. It was set in the install script. I deliberately kept it small during testing so i could see changes immediately. CLohse's Norns at the Creatures Repository   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     8/15/2013 Hmm... yeah, I really don't see anything wrong with it. This part of the code, at least. It looks like it should work fine. Usually if I encounter a problem like that, I start making the agent play different sound effects at different parts of the script. That can make it easier to tell what part of the script it's able to reach, which conditions are or aren't being used, etc. It's noisy, but effective.   Mad Scientist clohse     8/15/2013 That is a great suggestion! I hope i can hear it over my kids episodes of Dr. Who. CLohse's Norns at the Creatures Repository   Liam     8/15/2013 You can always use the CL Debug tool, and use DBG: OUTS and DBG: OUTV That's what I tend to use when debugging, it's incredibly handy. (And possibly less noisy than sounds!) - Liam / K'aeloree Spellhold Studios, a Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights and Oblivion Modding Community   Mad Scientist clohse     8/16/2013 I've not used this mystical Debug tool, or the DBG statements. I never messed with the DBG statements because i could't figure out where their messages would end up going. Am I making things harder than they have to be again? CLohse's Norns at the Creatures Repository   Malkin Manager     8/16/2013 A general set of instructions can be found here: CAOS Debugger, but the CAOS debugger itself can be found here (direct download) - when the Gameware website changed domains a little while back, not all of the links were migrated.
