To avoid having to repeat huge chunks of code over and over, I know other people use a means of getting the script to refer to this other "reference" example. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, from which I could then figure out how to implement it. I know I've seen it before, but no matter how I phrase aspects of it I can't get the search to find it.
Could anyone point me in the right direction, por favor?
..are you talking about functions?
Function! That's the one. Do excuse me, I'm in a stupid mood this morning. Afternoon.
Try looking at this page in the AGS wiki: http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Scripting_tutorial_part_2 (http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Scripting_tutorial_part_2)
That's also in the manual, not just on the wiki.
