Several things I need help with/Am to hopeless to do. I've trawled the forum, but no-one else seems to be asking. I'm making a battle simulator game and want to library the simulator.

1. Libraries. How do you make them? This is sort of solved, because I am scripting them on notepad, but that is anoying, and there must be an easier way. What is it?

2. Renaming objects. Can it be done and how? I've found mentioned 'USE OTHER OBJECT NAME' but no way to implement it. I am trying to make an equip/unequip system, and have seen it done on other games, but want to know how it works.

3. Does anyone know of a completed battle simulator? It would save me alot of trouble to get a ready made one.

Thanks! More questions may come soon.

P.S. I mean having it called one thing to start with then being renamed during the course of the game.

There's no "easier" way of making libraries - you have to use a text editor at some point. But you could copy and paste ASL from an existing file which you created in QDK, if you've got something that works in one game which you want to make usable in other games.

You can rename an object during the game by using a script to change its "alias" property.
