All,

I understand how to attach a script to an object. However, I cant figure out how to make a script that always runs. I basically want a script that is always in effect that monitors whenever certain events happen to the player (such as a skill increase). I would also like a script that kicks something off every time the map page opens. I just dont know what to attach the scripts to.

Help? Thanks!

Skill increases are easy to spot because the Story manager has an OnStoryIncreaseSkill event. You would make a quest, rather than a script, and put code in the quest's startup fragment (and finish it with a Stop()). Then you would put it in the appropriate SM Event node.

(I have no idea how to tell when the map is open.)

Interesting. I still havent done much if anything with the story manager. I will look in that direction. Thanks!

If anyone knows of any other global script approaches, like knowing when,the map is opened pr having a script wake up every 5 minutes to do something, let me know.

Thanks!

If you want a script to do something at regular intervals, use RegisterForUpdate (or, usually better, RegisterForSingleUpdate,and call RegisterForSingleUpdate again at the end of the OnUpdate event).

Does anyone else know if its possible to set up an event for when the map is opened?
