One aspect of the scripting system that proved critical for our project was the integration of the scripts and the level editor. The level editor not only allows the designer to place scripts into a level, but also ensures that the various links in the script are correctly assigned and remain correctly linked as the level changes. When a designer places a script resource into a level, the editor scans the header of the script to determine what variables can be assigned externally and places a graphic representation of the script resource in the level. This icon has a spatial location in the level, although its location isn't important to the script. Typically, designers place scripts near the objects to which they link. Once the script is placed, the designer can bring up the property dialog for that script and view and change its assignments. If the script contains links to other things or surfaces, these are assigned by clicking on the correct type of item in the level and clicking a link button. Links between COG scripts and world entities are shown graphically in the editor by connecting them with lines. If the script contains resources such as sounds or bitmaps, a pull-down menu displays the possible choices.

I've seen this whole "rising water level" deal done numerous times before! Have you ever played "Deep" from the Massassi Level Pack 2? That had a room that you went into where you hit a button, the doors behind you closed, the water rose, then the ocean doors opened and you swam out.

Even in the original JK game, on the fourth level (the one where you escape from Morgan Katarn's house, with lots of Tuskens), I believe there was a section where you dove hundreds of feet down into the water, defeated a jelly fish, and then went into a chamber that did the same thing mentioned above.

Am I completely misunderstanding what's being said here (I haven't read the article), or have you people really just not played (remembered) these levels?
