QuoteThis probably the best reason I've seen for implementing multi-dimensional arrays. Otherwise the work-arounds work just fine. Personally I would rather have improved support for stucts, struct in struct, struct and function pointers.
I've also been using AGS to work on various (unfinished) non-adventure games, but the main relevant reason I can come up with is that when trying to transcribe non-AGS code modules, which are plenty to be found, that quite often they require multi-dimensional arrays, and they always assume that they are available.
QuoteWell it would look something like the following code. It's untested but should give an idea how to go about searching for the name. Also, note it's possible to know how many of each inventory item a character has. So the inventory can be used to keep track of much money the player has instead doing it as a special case. Also in
Maybe you could make a loop check over the inventory array until you find the name (not the scripting one) of your item, but that doesn't seem practical.

And what's with the organ selling part?Quote
If you google harvesting organs from prisoners you get page after page of news stories such as "China Admits to Harvesting Organs From Prisoners", " China Harvests Organs From Prisoners", "China May Stop Harvesting Organs From Executed Prisoners ", etc. Here are just few from the first page of search results.

QuoteIsn't it true that the Peoples Republic of China has a history of dealing harshly with people who cross them? And as for regard of their own citizens here are a few infamous examples from 1989
I just don't understand your reasoning. Why would you think we could start a war because of this? In fact, during the recent years it showed that the Mainland government would rather just act as if they are serious and give out words of threatening, instead of really bombing others. peace). ...
... Also, there is no reason and quite rude to speculate the government will care less about her citizens and would not think of helping them.- http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=tienamen%20square&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=enab=wv#

It's this history that leads me to speculate that the pirate situation wioth be dealt with quickly and harsly. They will of course attempt to rescue the crew but threats of the crew being executed if an attempt is made, IMHO, will not enter into the decision making process.

Quoteit would appear that my intuition was correct. This isn't a criticism of China; I'm rooting for them and hope they kick some sereious butt. In my original post I state that it will be interesting to see if China actually does go in and kick butt and if they do will they get any criticism from the EU and the "peace at any cost" crowd.
... the Chinese government already sent a fleet with 800 crews to rush to the rescue.
