Is there any policy issues with sharing custom scripts in Steam forums for people asking for help? The entire script? We're not talking about copying and pasting complete GG engine scripts- this is for the (add_a_life) script- seems it should have been standard at initial release? I did suggest they join these forums actually.

If you wrote it you can do whatever you like with it.

If not, check with the author first.

Here you go Gubby, here's an add life kit script for the guy you were helping on steam.



Haven't tested it yet, but it should work, it's just an adaptation of my first aid kit script. With this one be aware that it works on angles and distances so to pick up the entity you need to be in range and actually looking directly at the entity, range and angle can be changed by changing the variables at the top of the script (credit for that part goes to smallg for showing me how to do that).

Thanks, that's radical. Better than just walking over it. What I was wondering is if I can post lua scripts directly into Steam forum-- and of course I'd never post anything directly and originally derived from GG. I guess it doesn't hurt then?

It would be better if you could persuade them here, there is a goldmine of scripts on here already.

I agree with amen, better to keep to one for all community communication, that way advice is consistant, i never liked having to have a steam discussion, but apparently it's a requirement, i always try to link them to here, if they don't want to come here then they're obviously not that dedicated to gameguru yet, give it time

With regards to the question though, personally in my opinion, as long as they are freely given here, i don't see a problem posting there as long as you dont claim they're yours and link back to the original post, afterall the gameguru steam discussion is an official discussion board so effectively just an extention of this one. Other websites however, avoid distributing others work to other websites or forums without permission, in case you open up a can of worms.
