Alright, I figured I would set a global variable in my main Script. Something like
gArcadeStyle = 0
and then at the beginning of rooms in which it is more arcade oriented i could set it to 1 (TRUE) and when I leave those rooms set it back to 0 (FALSE)...pretty darned simple idea, of course.
But the tricky part comes in in finding where the retype code is made to associate with me pressing the space bar. I've searched all the scripts for the relevant code, but to no success. I am not, however, a very educated scripter, so it is possible it slipped right through my fingers...
So does anyone know where this code would be so I can make it inactive when gArcadeStyle is 1 (TRUE)...cuz I can't find it!
