There is also a built-in field for trees(arrays), called "numChildren", which gives you just that. { Array { thing1 [0] thing2 [1] thing3 [2] thing4 [3] } LoopThroughArray[() { for index = 0 to Array.numChildren - 1 { debug(Array[index]); } } } In this case numChildren = 4. We have to subt...

If she's thinking this thing, then would she really be innocent?

Heh. My mind is like an open book. Most people ignore it.

What I mean is, I use different installs for each project. The stripped copy just installs the necessary defaults, similar to a repair function. That way, I can keep my resources in place, and my disk space doesn't get devoured by countless copies of demos and default media.

I use multiple, stripped installations. Basically, I make a copy of a fresh installation, without all the demo stuff. I then use that copy to setup a new system, or reinstall a previous one. Saves disk space and headaches.

Yes, both are possible. I think the only real limitation is that it's a single level of inderection(can't use ITEM="Items.Weapons" successfully, sadly... In other words, no pointer-to-member. :shock: ) Also... ProcessItem[ (ITEM) { for each IT in @ITEM { debug(IT.label#" = "#IT);...

It worked for me, no problem. So, at this point, I have no clue.

And,i vote the script to be for 3rd person,suitable for melee and ranged weapons. Well, my own concept reference is the modern Zelda character. That needs support for first-person weapon usage also. So, fps style support comes along with that. It's simply a matter of having proper configurable sett...

I can't make any promises as to when, but it hopefully won't be too long. I've been short on spare time(side effect of real life rearing it's ugly head and DEMANDING my attention...) I've also got an RF community release on my plate, and a few other things. But, it's on the to-do-pretty-soon list(I ...

I recently became fixated on the concept of adding function and variables to Simkin at global scope. To help in understanding the what and why of this, I'll give an example. If a user writes a pawn script like this(pseudo-code, of course): { Inventory { Show[() { DrawHudImage(etc...); }] } Spawn[() ...

Okay... Sorry, that was a little sparse. And, I just double-checked, the label isn't set properly for pawns... The label gives you the name of the object in Simkin. In other words, the word you need for "@", in case you don't have it(like passing an object as a parameter... Or, when the ob...

This can be combined with the built-in field "label" to great effect, such as:

Hey, I was happy to help. That little "gem" is hidden under the obscure topic of "Scope" in the docs.

I think this should give you what you need.
The "@" is Simkin's indirection operator. It let's you use a variable like a pointer. "@CHAT_PAWN" is interpreted literally as "Pawn1.Value".

Nice work. Can't wait to see the texturing. Just out of curiosity, how many polys?
