    I've thought about making plants grow during a match... this would be perfect for you to try that. The water, if it is not shot and turned off could make the plants slowly rise over the course of the match. If water is shut off for whatever reason, they stop growing.

    So I perfectly scripted an elevator with smooth scripting and an unbreakable call system.

    And guess what!!!! IT WONT ****ING WORK IN CUSTOMS. Thanks 343 for increasing forges limits past its threshold. Also it sometimes likes to refuse to send message scripts. None of its my fault either ive triple checked, quadruple checked.

    -You can't respawn objects despawned with labels
    -you can despawn via labels but not spawn via labels?
    -Message scripts refuse to send sometimes?
    -Label scripts are the only ones that seem to work reliably.

    343 would get an aneurism if they actually tested their games.

    Correct - you cannot respawn objects remotely. You must place a script on any despawned item to tell it when to spawn.
    Respawn, same thing. you spawn via a message or something that the script on the despawned item responds to OR you have a script on the despawned item telling it to spawn after a period of time from despawning. The stock respawn system does not work for a lot of these scripting tricks.

    EDIT for your edits: In my experiences there is always a reason why a script isn't working, not that the game doesn't want to do it. THere's some sequential or logic problem that you can't see. You'll need to troubleshoot your message sends. Create an indicator of your choice to prove that it is being tripped whne it should be. If not, then you know for sure that the message isn't being sent. This troubleshooting can go deep at timese, especially when you have a complex setup like that elevator.

    The prototype is awesome by the way! Glad to see someone already making use of this stuff!

    The problem is that their literally isn't an alternative that would work.

    Power scripts-Don't work (unreliable)
    Message scripts-Dont work (unreliable)
    Label scripts-work but can't be applied to what I need them to.

    I troubleshooted and its just the game engine committing suicide.

    Im just going to hope the 4k update helps.


    In customs it straight up doesn't even spawn

    nah, it may seem that way, but as I just pasted into my last post while you were typing, there is some sort of logic problem that is created with the scripts that you aren't aware of yet.

    Believe me, there have been so many times when I thought the game was just ****ed, but it was either something I asked it to do that was not logical or resulted in broken functionality, OR it was because of some assumption I'd made about how the game works underneath all this forge stuff. It will literally do what you say every time, but the way all this stuff ties together can create situations where things don't work like you assume it should.

    Maybe there's a way I could help...

    I might have to reserve some of your time and finally f***in finish that ice melting map.

    How long would scripting about 2-300 pieces to inch downward for the duration of a match take?

    Depends, but possinly very easy. Do they all follow the same rules?

    Edit. Also, with small movements you may not need to use all these tricks.

    Feel free to describe more in pm if you prefer.

    There was vegetable glycerine(ejuice ingredient) drowning my xboxs processor and was even under it. Got it all cleaned up and replaced the thermal paste and so far my xbox is working fine again.

    Long story short there was also like 250 ml of VG spilled all over my desk and couch, i just didnt realize it got in my xbox when it had happened.

    Glad to hear it is working so far.
