Sorry for being an complete PITB, cocka, but I can't get the script in for starting with Fighters fists. I tried it with SLADE3 by importing Builder's ACC.exe

Get the latest official ACC instead.

The program starts in a cmd like state and then closes as soon as it opened.

That's normal; it is a command-line program. Set DB2 and SLADE 3 to use it, and they'll invoke it with the proper parameters.

Ahh, okay. Do I need to use both for making scripts or is SLADE3 okay?

You need to setup DB2 to compile scripts if you want to compile scripts from DB2.

You need to setup SLADE 3 to compile scripts if you want to compile scripts from SLADE 3.

I'm not sure what's unclear about that.

Nothing. Just new.

Ah Thanks all. It works now.

This issue drove me entirely crazy yesterday.
I couldn't believe this was soo difficult, but it was to me yesterday, knowing that the answer couldn't be difficult.

script 100 (int tag) did the thing...

And yes, i need all sectors being separated, so i am going to use lots of Actor enters sector-objects.
You got that right.
Not combining those sectors.

Its working now.

How do I change blood color? Blue for Cacos and green for Knights and Barons.

If it's this easy, why isn't it already in there?

What are you talking about? It is there. He just showed it to you.
Edit: Now, had you asked "Why don't said enemies already use different colours?", it's because the enemies already existed before (obviously), and have to be functionally/visually the same.

Thanks for the correction. And it makes sense now...

How would I display a bar of brass shells on the screen representing the amount of ammo the player has in a magazine (for a specific weapon), and then making each individual shell disappear after each shot? I basically want it to operate exactly like an ammo bar, except there's one shell representing each shell in the player's magazine.
