I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use this function. I have the following code:
if ( IsPlayerMovingIntoNewSpace == 1 ) set variable to 1 elseif ( variable == 1 ) ;do stuff endif
As far as I can tell, that should do something upon the load of a new cell - but as far as I can tell, it's not working... WTF? --DragoonWraith 22:17, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
