Small ACS things...

Okay, ROTGS2 is going slowly... I need help though... I understand the basics of ACS scripts and some of the commands, but my referance to all the commands is out of date. I just want to know what commands I can use such as little things like "Check inventory" and things that check what skill the player is using. What are these small things and what do they do? (All I can do with ACS at the moment is print mesages and simply activate loads pf things, with delays and stuff, but none of the really fancy stuff like checking if the player has a certain item and doing something if they do or don't have the item, small things like that...).

For now, the best thing may be to look at the scripts in some wads and see how things were done. Massmouth2 has a load of sophisticated scripts. LilWhiteMouse's wads do too.

Anyone have ACS documentation and willing to share?

This and this are linked right at the ZDoom page.

True, but they are not THAT up-to-date. AFAIK, the stuff covered is not past 1.23. Not that I'm bitching, but... And BTW, whatever happened to Rick Clark? I found his tutorials very, very useful; he had an intuitive and clear way of explaining things.

I think he posted something at the DW forums not too long ago. But that's all I heard from hime lately.

We really need someone to post an improved list of specials. Like I did with the translation wad, and get Randy to put it in the downloads section.
