frame priority?

Is there any way to set or affect the priority of a certain script over another? Is there anything in the base code or not that does anything like this?

like I bibbled about, I sort-of have a workaround I'm testing for the wasteland glitch, and while it's fairly effective in worlds with 2 or 3 geats, its efficacy rapidly drops off with more geats in one place, as it simply can't keep up and it becomes a gamble if its code that 'resets' the rooms to the correct RTYP will have a chance to fire before any given plant checking the RTYP would. If there was some way I could raise the script in 'priority', either 'legally' with a script or through some hackier way, it would be much more effective.

This will probably make you cringe and shiver, but what if you INST the script and run it faster, simply using the fact that the game is a good 10 years old and hardware performance has advanced?

I've tried that on the 'business' end of it, without any improvement-- I suppose I could probably try wrapping the whole thing in it and seeing how much of a mess it makes running every tick (I've been reluctant due to the 'cringe and shiver' factor). Will report findings soon.

If I can't get it worked out, it'll probably be a 'having two geats happen to be in the same room doesn't wreck your world irreparably' patch more than a 'hatch tons of geats without consequences' patch-- something is better than nothing, though.
