Doh!
Not another one...
At least now I can lock this one myself without having to ask Rich!
To answer the question for the very last time, the reason I use the name TDK_Man isn't anything remarkable. I have no connection with TDK the company, but it is indirectly related.
Back in the old days when I got my first 300 baud modem and started using BBS's I had to think of a username. At the time I used to use 5.25" floppy disks and purely by chance, there were some of these disks on my desk - made by TDK.
So, as I couldn't think of anything better, TDK_Man was what I chose. Had things happened differently you could at this moment all quite easily have been talking to Verbatim_Man!
As for when it all 'clicked', I don't think it ever really did. Whatever language I use these days I refer quite often to the docs and help files for command syntax. I can remember the methodology - eg
how to do something, but I can't for the life of me remember the parameters for commands like Set Object or Set Camera To Follow.
But that's more of an 'age' thing to be honest.
I may be an experienced programmer - in so much as I've been doing it over thirty years now, but I'm certainly not a great programmer. There are many far better programmers than me on here.
But, if there's one thing I did when learning that helped me, it's heeding advice from people who knew better than me. When someone looked at my code and said that there was a better way to do it, there was no argument from me - I just changed the way I worked and learnt the 'better' way.
