Scripting help :)

[Acies]

Hi! I'm not that good at scripting, it's kind of blunt and ineffective when I do it. I have placed different areas at which pathnodes to a monster is added. The path is either decided randomly, or if the monster previously has searched an area it shouldn't return again.


I just tried it out but he disappeared once he reached pathchoice 1. I'm unsure of how to set up the "if clauses" :/ ... So two things:
1. Why do you think he disappeared? I was close (so shouldn't be distance) - was no pathnodes added? Stuck at something?
2. What I really want: If "changedir" = 1 do that option. Otherwise check the value of "checkedcloak"; if = 0 roll for random search - otherwise continue.

I probably should make my scripting more effective

Spoiler below!

may have something to do with the path nodes....

Changed some things around; I might have solved it.
