hmmm, im really getting into the art on shiva, but i am really annoyed by there scripting system, its very inefficient, (having to make multiple variables just to access and compare variables) the fact taht it seems to be based of basic doesnt help either.if i get used to it, i might start my next project on shiva, but if i cant, ill be sticking with my good ol' 3DGS

well, actually the language is LUA based which is way closer to pascal and c than basic, furthermore, i wouldn't call a language that allows me to script a 3rd person camera in 7 lines "inefficient", but you are right when it comes to things like comparison, you have to temporarily store things in variables (objects/handlers, booleans, numbers...). but you do not necessarily have to create the variables in the GUI editor, "local" is the keyword just like c-script's "var". so "local myvar=5" might be a time saver, however, you wouldn't be able to call that var outside this very script (GUI-made vars can be called by this.myvar() inside the whole AI model). maybe that helps you a little.

thanks for the tips
