I figure that items have ID numbers now so that it is easier to reference them. Is there an easy way to do this in the code? For example, if I want a message "BOOM!" to appear when Core #1 falls to 0 hit points, how would I go about doing that? (lame example, but I figure a concrete piece of code would help)

We usually use 'events' to send messages to levelgens when certain things happen; however, there isn't one for when a core is destroyed. But, there is usually more than one way to do things when scripting is involved:

What I like to do is something like this. In main() in the levelgen, do:

Code:: function main() bf:subscribe(Event.ScoreChanged) -- global object to keep track of the core I want, this can be used -- anywhere else in the script since it was declared in main() core1 = bf:findObjectById(1) core1destroyed = false end function onScoreChanged(scoreChange, teamIndex, player) -- If a score has changed, then some core must have been destroyed. -- This is a workaround for missing onCoreDestroyed event if not core1destroyed then if core1 == nil or core1:getCurrentHealth() == 0 then core1destroyed = true end end if core1destroyed then -- Do something when core is destroyed levelgen:globalMsg("Core 1 was destroyed!") end end

We should add that event.

Oh wow! I didn't understand your response until now, thanks! That's very helpful.
