Hi ood,
Tendril update..
I took one of the tendrils into the tiny dollhouse.. thought and it happily duplicated itself, wrapped one bit around the light and the other growing on one of the doorways.
This is all pretty normal.. however Im assuming you want to position one of them.. the $actor .. in the new location.
##growthrough:
var $linked to $found_id's link;
var $nloc to $linked's loc;
set $actor's host to $found_id;
set $actor's hosthow to "on";
set $actor's pose to "growing";
copy $actor;
var $mny to random 10;
set $new_id's worth to $mny;
set $new_id's host to $linked;
set $new_id's loc to $nloc;
set $new_id's pwd to "";
set $new_id's class to "tendril";
Looks like the locations are getting a bit mixed up here..
I think what you want to do is copy the $actor, wrap one around a random object, and relocate the other in the new location.
As for the check to hurt living objects.. a quick test and the loop logic works fine..
sooooo.. maybe there are other objects in your location where you are testing it that are causing problems?
Oh.. one other thing about this tendril.. would be good to make it a material so we more control over rampant growth.
