[Advantages and Disadvantages] VBScript scripting engine in a VB6 game

[Devion]

Add the fact that some virus scanners will probably block your VBS code as soon as it's accessed. Getting multiple NAV or Mcafee dialogs during a game might be a 'annoying' to say the least

You would have to look into this but I dont think any antivirus programs will have a problem with running code locally. The script blocker feature of the programs deal with the scripts online on websites and such. I have never heard of someones antivirus blocking a locally running script.

I know a firewall will popup a message if the script trys to access the internet so that might be an issue if thats what you want but that can easily be solved.

NoteMe, I dont think people run the scans while playing, I personally have my Nortons on all the time but not scanning till I say so or when i download something. Doesnt effect my game. Unless I happen to be playing during one of its scheduled scans, now that can make a game run interestingly.
