Sorry, but Cracohol (I thought that is how it was supposed to be spelled? Oh well...) is already copyrighted, and we have mucho documentation to prove it. It is for the internet show that Gobbo, our friend, and I might make one day (we started writing it maybe in our sophomore year of high school). It has the makings for something very funny but most likely with no or little association with this site due to its non-sensical content and disturbing humour.
So I'm taking it that the Spell-Until-Status-Condition-Caused thing works, eh Dragon Knight? That's good. It was the one thing I wasn't really able to test much but was hoping hard-core that it did. Well, it seems to be debugged for now. I guess we have to wait until I try to add something else to bugger up the whole mix again.
And MG, it's nice how your logic can be so correct even tho' for it to be right you must discount simple fact like me going to computer labs and what-not since they are interwoven into my correct memories. Why can you never remember anything? You must have been dropped several times on your head after you were born...
... after being a period of ten years....

Well I am assuming that Ems as in multiple usage of the letter M is used for Mint Man because it has two of the letter M in it. Plus the context of how MG is using it as though it was a name.

Yep. "Ems" is the psuedo-abbreviation of MM or M's. Also, I just spelled cracohol as "crack-cohol" so people would be able to grasp what I meant. It is rather odd after all.
And I was not dropped on my head! ... it was my face

Once an attack is set to attack endlessly, even if you edit that out of your AI your creature will continue to use that attack endlessly. It isn't much of a problem for me at level 1 but I can imagine at higher levels it may become a problem in rare occasions.

Ventrebleu! That is a problem indeed.
Well, I'm going to die against Fallen a tenth time, so I don't care.

All things considering, I'm pretty sure FoxMcBlur might pull off a victory. Notice the sheer amount of evasions both sides have been pulling off (two in a row for both of us). This is anyone's game.
Now this is a battle I like, something that keeps me on the edge of my seat.  How about those four evasions for one awesome fight? I've never seen anytihng like that before. Next actual strike probably determines determines victory though.
FoxMcBlur casts Gash. Fallen is scratched by the spell. Fallen casts Horn. FoxMcBlur is seriously damaged by the spell. FoxMcBlur casts Gash. Fallen is scratched by the attack. FoxMcBlur casts Gash. Fallen is somewhat wounded. Fallen casts Horn. FoxMcBlur dodges the spell. FoxMcBlur casts Gash. Fallen is somewhat wounded by the attack. FoxMcBlur casts Gash. Fallen is scratched by the blow. Fallen casts Horn. The attack misses FoxMcBlur. FoxMcBlur attacks. Fallen is scratched by the attack. Fallen casts Horn. FoxMcBlur is massacred by the attack. FoxMcBlur attacks. Fallen dodges the assault. FoxMcBlur attacks. Fallen avoids the attack.

No, Eagle, it isn't a problem at all.
See DeathMan, when you choose to perform an action endlessly, you can't choose anymore actions after it. Meaning when you log-in, adding commands will do nothing because the button is grayed out. Why would you choose a command after doing something endlessly? The command would never be reached.
Now, do you see that little thing that says Reset? Click that and then you can choose different commands.
I logged into your account just to make sure the problem was as I suspected. I even changed your AI (to Two Horns and then Horn Endlessly just to make sure the AI showed up differently, and it did).

Ok maybe I worded it wrong, once you hit reset and you have already set your AI to attack endlessly once, even if you change your AI to somthing completly different it still acts as though the attack that you set to execute endlessly was still in the box. (Am I making any sence at all)

Hey, if you choose to do something endlessly, Like bite, will you switch to regular attacks after you run out of MP?

Yes, writer, it will make you attack if you are too low on magic. I've run out of it enough to know. You get a message like "Blank is too low on magic to cast blank. Blank attacks!" If that wasn't default, the game would really suck.
Yep, suck alright. Suck like runnin' out of cracohol!

Well, you're making sense, Deathman, in your words, but I actually logged into your account using my univeral access and changed your AI. If the variables for the AI change (which I confirmed by sneaking a peak at your account's data file) then your creature will abide by the new settings and not act endlessly if set not to do so. I was able to change it, so that offers a few possible explainations.
It is possible that you went to change your AI to something different immediately before the script next ran, thus keeping your old AI in place when the script ran and then setting it to your new behavior.
It is also possible that certain computers have a sort of unhandled JScript handling on them that I did not account for when writing the new system (of which your computer would be a part).
How can we tell which is which? Simple. Log into your account and change your AI. Then, leave it and log back in to view your changed AI. If the AI is different, then acting endlessly does not do what you said (I know; I've set to act endlessly and been able to perform actions which were not said action), but if it is the same, then we have a problem.

I estimated the amounts that KnockDown, Gash, and Blur will cost me. Therefore, being the math wizard that I am, I automatically decide on everything.

Well I'm not exactly sure what was/is going on, but I did as you told me too and it did change my AI when I logged back in, yet a half hour later when it made my action it continued the old command. Thing is what ever is happening is either just my comp, my imagination, or my own stupidity.

Wert da Hiel? I think I see the problem -- your AI is in fact changing, but changing to what is the problem. This must obviously be a fault of your computer, for it actually set an amount of time for a command to be used to "Infinity". Now, in BD, the only values are numeric, "inf", "pois", "cure", and "conf". Unless you are actually semi-form hacking into BD, this is not your fault at all.
What I don't understand is where the word "Infinity" comes from. Only the value is called that; the name for it in the combo box is "Endlessly." Confused I am 
Um, what kind of computer/IE are you running?

Well I'm only 13 and not the most computor smart person in the world, what I do know is that my comp is about 7 years old and has an Acer lable on it. I don't know if there is somthing specific you need to know about it. And I am using IE version 5, I think.
