I checked, and AR1005 does indeed have a .bcs file. When I looked at mine with NI, my code even showed up. (It was not the only code. There is some other code there, a very little, having to do with Jan.)

I am utterly stumped as to what is going on.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

But is the bcs file assigned to the area, i.e. is it showing up when you open AR1005.are? In my ToB game AR1005.are doesn't have the script assigned, so you'll need to use Icelus' code:

COPY_EXISTING ~AR1005.are~ ~override/AR1005.are~
  WRITE_ASCII 0x94 ~AR1005~

One other quick item: pairing COPY_EXISTING with an EXTEND is redundant with the newer versions of WeiDU; you can just use the EXTEND commands. If the target script exists, then EXTEND will find it and add to it.

I don't know if I have an older version of Weidu or not; I got it a few months back when I first started modding. Anyway, I added the WRITE_ASCII line to my .tp2, and we got a bit further, but now it refuses to process my .baf saying there is a syntax error in it near text "JavinExists". (The first one.)

As I said earlier, this is my script baf.

IF
Global("TJGuardExists","AR1005",0)
InParty("Tsujath")
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("TJGuardExists","AR1005",1)
CreateCreature("TJGUARD",[742.746],11)
END

IF
Global("JavinExists","AR1005",0)
InParty("Tsujath")
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("JavinExists","AR1005",1)
CreateCreature("JAVIN",[626.843],11)
END


I do not understand what the problem is. What have I done wrong?

Thank you, icelus and Camdawg, though, for the other help. I am making progress!

No, that's fine. You can use either "GLOBAL" or "LOCALS" or "ARNAME" where ARNAME is the name of an area.

The coding I used is identical to the coding I used in AR0511, and that one works! I am utterly confused.

Also, I'd recommend upgrading to the newest WeiDU version.

Try replacing the actions in the block that's not working with something you'll be able to see, so you can check whether the triggers or actions are the problem.

Some people like to make the script display a string when it runs, personally I like it to force Stoneskin on a character. Anything visible to tell you whether the problem is actions or triggers. If it's the triggers that are up, for example, then the string/Stoneskin won't appear.

Hope this helps!
