question on clone party

[Ryeath_Greystalk]

I want to create an area where I can monitor the party facing direction as they walk through an area.

I'm guessing the best way is to clone party.

The question I have is if I only want it to be in effect in one room and I use an onTurn hook then it will test it everytime the party moves anywhere in the dungeon?
Now I figure I can use a counter so it only goes through the entire script in that room, but it still needs to check the counter everytime, right? Will that kill performance at all?

Thanks again.

Nope, green light. reference the counter in the hook, return false if the counter has not been tripped. You can also freeze the party in place by doing it with an onMove hook and counter to have it return false. I use it, as well as mahric (who designed it initially), and suffer no performance effect.

Thanks msyblade.

I will give it a shot. Does the clone party effect the default party in the editor also?

I believe it does. I don't recall needing to pack my dat to test it.
