In skys darkened black and through,
We rest in blue flames to become anew.
For now at once the mirth has spoken,
Never forget this heartless token.

Lem? why is it you lend me your strength?
Because Laz' i have faith for some reason.
In god?
No... in man.

I'd love to continue the discussion CC, but it's a bit inappropriate for these forums. I tell you what, drop me an email ([email protected]) and let's see if you can convert me

Ah, but I do not wish to convert, I simply wish to relay my beliefs. And now I'll quote something:

Quote: "The greatest single cause of Atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

DC Talk, "What If I Stumble", 1995

Sad, honestly. I don't want to be considered the single greatest cause of Atheism.

I'll probably drop you a line or two soonish. It could be an interesting discussion.

Edited to give the full quote.

Yea...It makes sense to me, but I can draw up an MS Paint diagram or something. It's really just a user-defined type(ObjectList) that contains all an object's data, and a 2-dimensional array (SelectedList), which is a list of all selected objects(1, n) and group objects(2-30, n). A diagram would be more helpful, but I must become unconscious for several hours first.

The more I look at it, the less complicated it looks. Heh.


Now for some news from me...

I got my GUI routines to look like this:




...from this:



I still haven't added in the functions of the new GUI code, but you have to admit it's a lot neater in the second version and will be MUCH easier to maintain.

This has the relevance, as I just got LoZ:ST today.

So what if I talk to myself? Its the only way i can have an intelligent conversation around here.

From what I can tell, the MMX value isn't changing. Or rather, it is instantly resetting to 0. If I hover the mouse over one of the three objects I created to work with your code (a cone, a cube, and a sphere) MMX stays at 0, but if I move the mouse away from the object, it changes for just a moment before going back to 0.

I love using print commands to see what all my variables are doing.

EDIT: If I remove the "If MMX > 0.0" and the Endif that goes with it, the object clicked upon starts to move, but the program crashes if the mouse button is held for too long, giving the error message "Object number illegal at line 22"
FYI, 22 is the line that I have this code at:


EDIT 2: I got it to work. Here, this will move the object you click on left for a left click right for a right click. If you need that reversed, simply switch the places of the words right and left in the code. If you need it to move faster or slower, increase or decrease the speed value.


I also have this alternate one, which will move the first object you click on to the position of the second object you click on.


So what if I talk to myself? Its the only way i can have an intelligent conversation around here.

Hey so I'm awake now. I remembered I'm still missing a couple things for my grouping things. One is to assign objects loaded from scripts to groups, and the other is to remove an object from a group list if it is added to another group.

Anyway, here's the rundown of everything involved in multi-selection and object grouping, since they're closely related.

Mkay.


First you have the Obj type, which stores all data pertaining to objects that are loaded from and saved to a level file. I have an array of these Objs called ObjectList.



The only ones you have to know for this example are Group and GroupHead. Group is a number from 2 to 30, signifying which group the object is a part of. Group 1 is the temporary group used for multiselection. GroupHead is a boolean that is 1 if the object is a group control, a simple cube that is the pivot point and parent of all objects in a given group.

Here is the creation of object 7, which is the group control for all selected objects.



Each group control has 50 invisible limbs which are placed at the center of each new group object to store its location relative to the control.

Then later there is the group array:

dim SelectedList(30, 50)

This is a 2-dimensional array, allowing for 30 groups with 50 objects each.

So that's initialization of the groups, aside from loading each individual group control. This is done when a group object is loaded from a saved level file. The control objects are much like #7 is created, except that the cube object itself is visible, with only the limbs hidden.

More to come later, explaining the moveObject function in the main loop and those functions I've already posted.

I will live forever or die trying.

Possibly get a few other experienced folks on board first? Give it more of an air of authority?
And where are you starting this thread? Is it DBP only or general everythingness? (DBC user but I don't want to be isolated)

Found this intresting, Mainly since its applies to that of the pirate arguement.

Quote: "The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell which from which"


We take it on faith. Thats all i can come up with right now, seems lem' isnt happy with me.
///////

Second thoughts, no you guys dont need it.
///////

We wrote a title for it;

There are two types of people in this world and they will both live to tell two different things,
One will tell you what is,
While the other what could be.
I think im both.

Since i have been the first recorded, i think i will have the right to name it. i choose this.

The Artistic Philosophers Conflict

At least then i will remember it, and in latin like all diseases'

Artifex Philosopher Pugna

I think ill sleep now, seems i have a few things to nurse over.
As you can guess Lem anit all to happy.

Did i tell you why i named her that?

Lemourantis

Let more rant is, inspired of course...

This is pretty much an explanation to why i act, strange? would be the word right?
