Could you guys help me out wit one more thing? I''ve been thinking about what I should script, and what I should hardcode.
Guess I forgot to tell you guys, my game is a 3D rts much like starcraft (cept 3D). Besides scripting my AI, I am going to script each unit. I am considering having a different script for each distinct unit, and loading an instance every time a new unit is created. Is this alright? Hopefully it won''t put too much strain on the system, wit maybe 100 scripts running at once. If this is going to be a problem, what is my best alternative?
Also, is there anything else that I should script? (ie weapons, user interface etc?)
Thx a bunch!

I wouldn''t load a new instance for each unit. Load one and have all instances of that unit share it. You will save memory that way. Unless there is some reason that the scripts need be unique to each unit (which I wouldn''t see why), then I think it would be the best way to go.
