How to set player speed via ACS?

[SubatomicPenetrationTTW]

I did a bit of reading on scripting, something I don't have experience with, and tried to follow what the wikis said to do to change player stats but it's not working. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this?

Script 2 ENTER
{
	Thing_ChangeTID(0, 1000 + PlayerNumber()); // This assigns the TID
}

script 3 (void) {

SetActorProperty
(1000,aprop_speed,0.75)
;SetActorProperty
(1000,APROP_Accuracy,0.50)
;}

Sorry if this is horrible, again, literal first time doing anything of this sort.

I think you can actually accomplish everything in script 2 without a need for script 3. Note that you don't really need to set the TID here unless you are using it for something else in other scripts. You can use "0" to refer to the activator of the ENTER script, so it will affect every player that enters the game. Also, Accuracy is supposed to be an integer between 0 and 100, so I changed that too (to "50"), but you might need to adjust the value depending on what you want:

Script 2 ENTER
{
	SetActorProperty(0,APROP_SPEED,0.75);
	SetActorProperty(0,APROP_ACCURACY,50);
}

Let me know if that works.

How does script 3 get called?

I think I'm super dumb, it doesn't. If I put ENTER instead of void do you think it would work? I tried that earlier and got nothing, and thought something else was messed up.

Thanks a ton. Again, this is baby's first time using any kind of scripting. Very thankful.
