Step counters

[WildWoodsmith]

couldn't find anything on here about this, but what's the best way to do a step counter? Would it be to use "hero is walking" to add to a variable while true?

I'd use a global in the each step script.

Code: Select all

plotscript,eachstep,begin
increment (steps,1)
end

Yes, each-step script is the way to go. Don't use a while loop to check "hero is walking", as that would increment every tick the hero is moving, not every step.
BTW, you can set a global each-step script rather than needing to set it on every map.
