Hey all! Its been a wonderful experience being able to script everyday now. LUA for me was very easy to pick up during the Spring. Not sure why i was so intimated by it at first. I can only hope now that more hardcoded functions in Game Guru become unlocked to LUA and that more commands are created.

I have a quick question for anyone that may know. Is it possible for a script to hide and show a static entity? Perhaps even one by name? Or must they be dynamic?

That's good to know. Im not sure how Lee is handling the navmesh stuff or how NPC's are able to navigate on floor planes. Wondering if a floor is dynamic if it would negatively affect the AI at all. Going to try some tests.

There are some object t id oriented functions creeping in now, don't think I saw Hide/Show for object id though.

We can supposedly relocate entities by their object id now so you could try that to see if it works.

Hide and Show id works just tested (with dynamic entities only)

Hide(1)
for example hides the object with the id of 1. Wondering if there is a way to hide by name? For instance if i had 10 objects id want to hide that were all called Barrel. Hide(barrel) nor Hide("barrel") do not work. I'd like to create something more modulator and not just based on my 1 specific map.

That looks like an entity Id rather than and object id, object is are normal something like '77051'.

I had always assumed that static entities didn't get an entity id but obviously they do.
