TWO_TURNS for classic BG2 ToB

[AL|EN]

TWO_TURNS is only for EE: https://gibberlings3.github.io/iesdp/files/ids/bgee/gtimes.htm

What would be an equivalent that can be used on a classic bg2tob engine?

[lynx]

What do you mean? Just add it if it's missing and you want to use a named constant.

Exactly. There's nothing stopping you from adding lines to that table, or from using the literal number (120).

[AL|EN]

But if I add it to the classic BG2 ToB file, does the engine will know how to translate STRING TWO_TURNS into INT 120, for such baf code:

SetGlobalTimer("VA#StartPart2T","Global",TWO_TURNS)

?

Yes, as far as I understand the entry should be in the GTimes.IDS during script compilation. In compiled script it is kept as number (120).

Well, if this is part of a BCS script, that's not a problem; the engine only sees the compiled code, which wouldn't have the named constant anyway. DLG files, though, have the BAF-format code in their raw forms. So there ... the engine loads the IDS files and uses them to interpret any constants that show up in the code.
