What if delayedScript is pending and the game is saved?

[MrChoke]

Not that I have seen this first-hand yet in my dungeon but I may. I use delayedScript calls from time to time. What happens to a delayedScript call waiting to execute if the game is saved before it does? Is this condition saved so that a reload will have the delayedScript waiting pick up where they left off? Wondering if anybody knows.

Many things in the main campaign would break if this was not handled.

Very good. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

ouch...I used delayed calls a lot in my mod. Mainly just with the dialogue boxes. I had no idea it could break if someone saved and reloaded in the middle of one. Hopefully nobody does that...

It can't break. That's what petri just said.

oops, i misinterpreted , i thought he meant, that "we" have to "handle" it or many things would break lol.

Not sure how exactly it is handled in Grimrock, but likely there is some list with entries of delayed scripts to run, with a timer time attached. This list is saved and reloaded properly, everything simply continues as normal. I do the same thing in my Roku game, but there I can't reset the system clock, so I have to save whatever the current clock is, and make sure to subtract that out when loading. But the principle is the same.
