I remember, years ago, looking in the Plotscript Dictionary and seeing commands to alter enemy stats. Now, however, they are gone. Were they removed due to bug issues? Were they never implemented? Were their entries accidentally cut from the dictionary and never returned?

Dah! It keeps loggin' me out. >_<

I can't remember where James said it, but he did come out and tell everyone that he had considered battlescripting, but abandoned the idea.

Um okay...I thought that it edited enemy stats sort of like hero stats are edited -- outside of battles, but the effects are carried inside. It would have been useful for making bosses that level with the heros, among a bazillion other things.

So I guess that means it's not implemented?

[Cube]

Yeah, it wasn't implemented. There are some others that also weren't implemented, but I can't seem to remember what they were. I just remember that I wish I had them...

The variables are still there though. This question is for the spam-man himself. Is the lack of ability to change enemy stats a problem of variable type, or could one theoretically stumble across the appropriate variable to change an enemy's stat until the next time the game was loaded (from a save or otherwise)?

Essentially what I'm asking is if you simply didn't take (waste?) the time on streamlining the process or if the power of the plotscripting simply doesn't extend to variables like enemy stats.

Variables? Huh? Do you mean function id?
