No "Yeah, but what's the worse that could happen?"

Exactly, ban Dr Pepper!

Also, use my MultiResponse module so that its very easy for repeateded examiniong to give further information

scotch/hajo/aga, can you upload the whole internet to the server, please, so it runs faster?

I think Hints and Tips is the only place where guest postings is really justified at all.

Well, there's a huge difference between Nikolas and my kids age group and teenagers. One lot are a group of hardly-able-to-talk-properly, vomiting, ignorant and very hard work. The others are pre-schoolers.

Well... in your repeatedly_execute:

Code: ags

if (mouse.Mode==eModeLookat) {
  if (Character.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y)==cSomeone) {
    cSomeone.LockView(ZOOMVIEW);
  } else {
    cSomeone.UnLockView();
  }
}

but I have a feeling it will be more complicated than that...

Well, if you can find an adult with the required legal background checks willing to take on the huge legal liability...

No, there's just an AGT.

Joe, your coding has no indentation!

#defines just do a textual substitution. The reason it might not work is if the substitution stops at the first space. I use this myself:

Code: ags

function Go(int x, int y) {
  //Display("Go! %d %d", x, y);
  player.Walk(x, y, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  Wait(15);
  while (player.Moving) {
    if (Mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft)) {
      player.StopMoving();
      return -1;
    }
    Wait(1);
  }
  return 0;
}
#define GO if(Go
#define OR_ABORT )return

...

GO(oBread.X, oBread.Y)OR_ABORT;
oBread.Visible=0;
player.AddInventory(iBread);

which gives you an abortable walk, when within an interaction function...

Or..

Code: ags

int i=0;
while (i<Game.CharacterCount) {
  if (i!=player.ID && character[i].Room==player.Room) {
    character[i].FollowCharacter(player,5,0);
  }
  i++;
}

or be really cunning...

Code: ags

#define AllCharacters int i=0;while (i<Game.CharacterCount) { if (i!=player.ID && character[i].Room==player.Room) character[i]
#define ACEnd i++;}

AllCharacters.FollowCharacter(player,5,0); ACEnd

...which might not work!

Well, of course, they can still view ALL the forums

Well, its possible, Gord, to defeat posting URLs, but I doubt anyone will bother and you can't defeat not being able to use image tags. As has been said, guests can already only post in some forums and making it that little bit harder might defeat the spammists. After all, its hardly a huge problem at the moment.

No, you haven't:

How about a rule that guests are not allowed to post URLs or images?

Done, Alynn. Let me know if that was what you had in mind.

The trouble with volunteer versus real commerical teams is that YOU CANNOT FORCE PEOPLE TO WORK. And many of our great talents in all the areas mentioned are lazy. So some upfront cash would probably be required to motivate people...

I too thought this thread was a load of rubbish until someone included me on their list. 

It was only about 5 miliseonds ago that there was ANOTHER thread about the awards and someone was referred to the wiki.... LOOK IT UP IN THE WIKI BEFORE ASKING ANY QUESTIONS!

Forward/back walkcycles shouldn't bob. it looks silly when they are static, true, but when they are moving in AGS it is fine. I think.

Which news?
