In-Editor Screenshot

Recommended Posts

The editor is all fine and dandy...but how's the scripting engine? Similar syntax as EM4? Is it documented? Will there be scripting?

 

In my honest opinion, a cool editor is moot if there is no ability to change gameplay mechanics via scripting. There's a difference between "modding" and "making alterations". Modding means you can manipulate core gameplay and introduce new abilities. Alterations means you can change assets but not alter the underlying gameplay mechanics.

 

My level of excitement for EM5 is going to be proportional to how scripting is managed.

Why do I have this weird feeling that "modding" will be limited to just the editor and that no scripting mechanism will be put in place?

If they omit scripting, which I've yet to hear a single thing about, then the types of mods seen in EM4 will be impossible.

I hate to be a downer but I'm scared they've either severely limited or totally cut scripting from the game.

scripting is just as basic as it is, you have to do it your own. it doesn't require to build a custom tool to edit the script, so why should they talk about it.
its already confirmed emergency 5 will be better modable then emergency 4, i wouldn't be that concerced about it.

Yea also they said themselves they were amazed at some of the stuff created in em4 and that even they didn't think It was possible so I highly doubt they would make it harder to get to
