You can't emulate the original menus perfectly (no hover für images), but for most tasks it should be enough.

the easiest way should be the click screen mode.

You mean CSCR? If so, then yes, that is what I'm using. However, I thought that perhaps it would be possible to make the buttons "light up" when you mouse over them... Sad.

PS: is there command list in English.

player_speed X;2. As you rightly state, it won't play them. And that's it. They are not supported. You have to convert them.
Script doesn't work
Guest LCL-the new! has written
i tried player_speed,and it doesn't know what it is.
If a unit gets this state, it's speed will be the one given as state value, and not the one it has by default.
Can someone say to me if the title of process script command is displayed or not during the game ?
I ask about this, because I am looking for all script commands generating text on the screen. Actually, I think there is only "msg" commands, but perhaps I am wrong ?
thx
there are also: diary, msgboc and dialogue with text.
EDIT: and decisionwin
text and text3d

is there a command that i can use to delete an ai?

There is no difference between an Unit (AI) and anything else.
You'll have to loop over all occurencies of the butterflies and delete them:

3
4

s2:loop("unit",7) {
s2:free "unit",s2:loop_id();
}
s2:loop("unit",6) {
s2:free "unit",s2:loop_id();
}
First question: I currently have things set up so that upon pressing a user-defined key, the map screen displays. I want to change this so that the map screen will only be displayed if the player actually has a map. I have failed in my attempts so far. Here is the functioning code I have in game.inf:
1

scriptkey=20, Map
script=start
on:keyhit20 {
map;
}
script=end
Second question: Is there a way to determine the manner in which the player died? I want to make it so something happens when the player drowns, but not with any other kind of death. If not, is it possible to make something happen when killed by shark?
The following may not be a scripting question; it all depends on the answer, really. I want to get rid of hunger/tiredness, but keep thirst. The way I have done this so far is to change the health system to "2" (which gets rid of thirst and tiredness), change everything that normally affected thirst to make it affect hunger instead, change everything that affected hunger to make it affect nothing, modify the "if_values" image to get rid of the bottom two bars, and switch the images for the hunger and thirst bars. This seems to work well enough, but this stat is still listed as hunger in the stats menu. So my question is, is there a way to change the name of the stats in the stats menu, or is there a way to decide which stats are used when changing the health system?
More questions to come.

Hello. I've just started on a mod that seeks to change the game in many ways, not just add a bunch of extra stuff. Because of this I will have a lot of scripting questions over the next week or two.
You'll need a bit more time to get a whole bunch of changes down and working
But why another mod? Why not help an existing one?

Not directly. You can try it with on:ai_attack and a timer, but I don't think it will be a easy and well working script.

Try to find the string "hunger" in the strings.inf and change it to "thirst", that should do it.

True, I probably will need more time, but this isn't exactly a fully-fledged mod; it's only designed to work with one map.
But why my own mod? That's quite simple: I have my own story to tell.

That's easy:
It most certainly was. And by this, it is quite clear that I need to study all of the instructions some more. But I tend to lose a lot through Google Translate (which is why I'll be asking so many questions).

Thanks. I'll see what I can do with it once I get to the point in the development process.

Simple enough. It worked great. Thanks.
I have a new question now. I want to be able to ride a parrot, and be able to fly around while doing so. Through some experimentation, I have determined that it just isn't possible to fly the parrot in its normal state. I figured it would be possible to get this to work if I could change the parrot's behavior to "airplane". But I can't seem to find the instruction required to change the behavior of a unit. I also tried to replace the parrot with a different one (one which has the airplane behavior), but I failed at that too. Do you know how I can get this to work?
Thank you again for the help you've given.
