Hello, I am an expienced scripter with a background in software engineering, but, I will be darned if I do not have the foggiest clue as to a good method for what I want to do.
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
I have a group that RP's in a combat sim. The sim is a NO Damage sim. I need a "combat meter" to wear that will record "hits". I am also trying to make a sword and a bow that will react with the "combat meter".
When the person is "shot" by an arrow from the bow or hit by the sword I need to reflect damage in the "combat meter". I am trying to script this myself so that I can give it out to the group members I would also like to release some sort of "public" version. I have a copy of the GNU open source for the Lightsaber but do not see it "registering" damage. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I have scripted many items and have a pretty good understanding of LSL but a method for what I need to do still escapes me.
If you can "enlighten" me or have a script "example" of even a basic of this method please IM Kerasonb Coakes, or drop me a script.
Thank you
