    posted a message on [Trigger] Utilizing the Power of Functions with GUI
    Quote from SCMapper: Go

    Once a function is called and it has it's parameters, the parameters can be thought of as local variables, you can use them much like variables in triggers except that you shouldn't be altering the value of a parameter, which is why programmer's usually create local variables inside a function and then SET it to a parameter, so they can always modify that new local variable without messing with the parameter.

    This is so wrong I want to hit you. Please, never, EVER, post such obviously wrong crap.

    When you act on a parameter, unless it is a pointer-type (unit, doodad, actual in-game objects that the variable is referring to) it is not changed. Parameters are copied by value, not reference. This is true of every single freaking programming language ever, unless you specifically state you want to pass a variable by reference.

    Furthermore, if it is a pointer-type, setting a variable equal to it still does nothing. You still get a reference to the same object.

    Quote from SCMapper: Go

    int, char, String, boolean or bool, double, float, and many more.

    This is not Java. It is "bool", "string", "fixed" (instead of double/float). Lowercase. Galaxy cares about that. Please learn the language you are writing a tutorial on.

    why are there functions for things like greaterthan

    have you considered having the user use if checks like num >= 50

    i dont get it

    Also, Rev, those are pretty darn easy to do. If you need them, I can make a separate Andromeda class or something.

    posted a message on Blizzard's letter about Nexus Word Wars

    I was actually angry at Blizzard over having banned you because of the word "dyke".

    But seeing that you had cocksucker and fuck in there?

    Honestly, you can't use the excuse "I can't look over 30k words" at that point. I am no longer mad at Blizzard.

    Although, the map is really fun at that. I hope to see it rise the popularity list again.
