Difficulty only seems to affect monsters' damage and the frequency of moves/attacks. It doesn't seem to affect the speed they move 1 square, so you can't measure it that way. You could look at how long it takes to move multiple squares, perhaps.

Hmmm...
I've tried this:
Code: Select all
local df = getStatistic("difficulty_level")
hudPrint(df.." ")
and it crashes the editor.
In Error-Logfile:
Code: Select all
[string "Statistics.lua"]:0: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
[string "DungeonEditor.lua"]: in function 'handleError'
[string "DungeonEditor.lua"]: in function 'playPreview'
[string "DungeonEditor.lua"]: in function 'previewButtons'
[string "DungeonEditor.lua"]: in function 'update'
[string "Grimrock.lua"]: in main chunk
What does this say? Function doesn't exist?
I've tried various getStatistic("commands") and the editor never crashed.

If I put anything 'invalid' in getStatistic then it always crashes for me. Just for testing purposes I tried getStatistic("ABC"); getStatistic("Something"); and both crashed the editor instantly. It would be awesome if there were a 'difficulty' statistic for the getting, but I fear there is not

Thanks, but where is the "grimrock.lua"? In the Grimrock.dat?
If it so, can anybody extract me all LUA files from this file?
If you "Load" a savegame, the difficulty setting where displayed. Is there a way to "read" this entry in a script?
Srry for the questions^^
