True, except that I've seen Nikolas, but haven't seen God (except in South Park)

That wasn't Nikolas, that was a hallucination.

But since I've seen my wife grow and grow, and giving birht (in front of my eyse), to my sons, and actualyl touching her and touching my sons 1 minute after birth, has given me enough proof that my sons do exist and that my wife indeed was pregnant and indeed was carying her babies inside her. That's the plain truth here. Can anyone say the above statement isn't true?

Yes. Here are other possible explanations:

1. Your children (and wife) are merely your hallucinations
2. You want to beleive you have a wife and children and have decived yourself into thinking they exist
3. You are lying to everyone here about whether you have a wife, or kids, or witnessed any birth
4. They're not your kids
5. A moderator edited the post after you wrote it and turned off the edit notice
6. The whole of AGS and its forum is a figment of my own hallucination
7. We are all characters in a story where the author wants things to seem like you have kids.
etc.

If you really want to get down to it, nothing is provable. So proof of God is as unattainable as proof of your own existence.

But this is my point. A truth is a statement that has been verified - a fact. The Earth rotates once every day is the truth. The moon orbits the Earth is truth. Truth is absolute and can't be subject to opinion by definition.

Therefore, you believe what you believe because you believe it to be true. But if it were actually the truth, then it would have had to have been verified, the existence of God undeniable, and there wouldn't be loads of religions and atheists.

Ummm, that's a rather strange definition of the truth. Are you saying that the theory of relativity, for example, was not true until  it was proved? So presumably relativitsic effects didn't happen ebfore teh early 20th century...?

Anyway, Time Cube theory says that the earth rotates 4 times a day

Helm, you're imposing your demand of there being a dilemma upon the nature of God's omniscience (or omnipotence). Why should there by necessaity be no grey areas?

As for the omnipotence paradox, my favourite answer is to look at the question as "Is the total lack of disability itself a disability?" to which the answer is obviously "No".

all non-religious people enjoy rape, pillage and burning

Why do you think athiesm is so popular these days?

I was robbed!  :'(

Are couples who have children feeding their egos with their child's adoration?

What if God is omniscient of the future in the sense that he can "calculate" what will happen in any given situation, perhaps by some mechanism similar to running a simulation. Now, if he is to do that, any consequences of that simualtion although they don't happen to us happen to the equivalent of us in the simualtion, which some philosophers is exactly the same from the point of view of the "other us". So, perhaps God doesn't do this simulation exercise on things unless he needs to, So its more a case of God being potentially omnipotent than actually knowing everything ever at once... it's like Schrodinger's cat in some ways. Perhaps quantum mechanics is God's way of letting us understand his omniscience to a degree?

You old romantic, Layabout...

If you have any specific comments on particular areas of the manual that need improvement, then please let us know so that a wiki article can be made or something to improve the situation.

You are a smart man, SSH. It won't take you more than a few seconds of further pondering to realize the unfairness of 'testing' that which you know fully well will fail.

Isn't it also unfair to NOT test someone without even giving them the chance to prove themselves, even if you're sure they will fail? I mean, I think that people have free will, so therefore there are not 100% certain to fail. And after all God already provided some provision for forgiveness in the Old Testament too.

Here's my entry:















Yes, it's Frodo, wearing the ring

[proof]

If the currently accepted version of the book of Isaiah or any other book closely resembles the version found in the dead sea scrolls (which I'm not sure they do... but I didn't look very hard, so feel free to educate me), that suggests that no major changes were made after 100 B.C.E.  However, it would not prove that the book was not altered over the four hundred years previous.

Well of course, there is no proof unless you have the absolute original, but then how do you prove that is authentic? Rather, when it comes to authenticating ancient documents you have to go by indications and evidence rather than absolute proof. Remember, too, that if there were edits made to the book, it would be unlikely that the edits would be able to be made to absolutely every copy of the book available. We're talking ancient tech not wikipedia, here, so for someone to decide to edit what is in the book of Isiah they'd have to ride a horse round ancient palestine with the new approved copies, get hold of the old ones if they were able to wrench them from their keepers and replace them with the new copy. It seems unlikely that such a process would be entirely successful. And those copies would be copied down the years and some of them would survive to today in some form. And thus there would be greater differences between our current versions than there are.

why did God change his methods after the events of the old testament? What could this change signify? Remember, God knows all, sees all, makes no mistakes. Please answer this succintly if possible. I aim to destroy your faith. Thank you.

I know you were going at rmullen, Helm, but one point is, if God says "here are some laws, stick to them" and then immediately says "Nah, you'll never manage it, I know I'll have to do something else in the end..." then it would hardly seem fair. Part of the Old Testament's purpose is as a "testament" of the fallibility of human nature.

My name is Rusalko and I am a male 80-year-old  convicted child molester who hates Psychonauts and any other tosh made by Tim "Ugly" Schafer and I also hate that rubbish website  Idle Thumbs.

There is actually a thread for this kind of request.

Someone else who is logged in to the games pages can post it for you and list you at the top of the credits box then when it all gets fixed you'll be able to edit it...

Well, if there were changes made to them over time, then it would be liekly that differing versions would be extant. The differences in known copies are generally somewhat minor enough to be manual copying errors.

Tell her you posted about her as a problem on an intenet forum, that's bound to scare her off. In fact, print out the thread for her so she can see for herself...

I assume this is from a thread that has been merged with this one, or some of GG's comments make no sense! Anyway, Rocco, is there a chance that you could zip and upload your whole game folder so that I can have a look and try and reproduce the error?

Why is that strange? The character will stay in exactly the same on-screen position unless you tell it otherwise. So use the "Go to new room at specific position" ineraction or player.ChangeRoom(room, X, Y) to give X, Y co-ordinates. Or, set an "player enters room before fadein" interatcion in the new room which checks player.PreviousRoom and adjusts player.X and player.Y accordingly.

Can anyone tell me the problem with this code?

No newlines!? 

I think you want:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always () {
  if (mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft) && oHeartstone1.Animating) {
    player.AddInventory(iheartstone1); 
    oHeartstone1.Visible=false;
  }
}

You had too many closing brackets on the if line. And most of the brackets you had were redundant anyway. CTRL-B in the editor shows you how they match.


EDIT: I was only faster than dkh because I accidentally hit post before I had finished...

EDIT 2:
Actually, I'd be surprised if this does what you want... you want the player to pick up the heartstone WHENEVER THEY CLICK FOR THE WHOLE GAME? What if it is already picked up? What if the cursor is somewhere else? What if they are in a different room?

EDIT 3: Well, if the oHeartstone1 is going to work, the code has to be in the room script anyway, I guess...

If you phrase your questions in English you're more likely to get an answer. As it is, I guess you are asking about the dialog at the beginning of the AGS Editor. Click the New game option and sleetc the default template, and give your agme a name.
