  • I used to work in a Game stop by me and We used to accept DVDs for cash trade.

    Now this attracted a bunch of... Strange people to our store but one experiences will forever be burned into my mind.

    One day we had these two VERY obese customers. They where either brother and sister or husband and wife. They came up to my counter with four or five sacks full of DVDs As they put them on my counter they also proceeded to rest their excess belly fat on my display case with windows on it so you could see the games in the case. The man has a huge bushy beard and his wife/sister has a beard almost as bushy as her brother/husband. When they get to the counter I am hit With THE MOST HORRIFIC SMELL YOU HAVE EVER SMELLED. It was the smell of death. I would rather be stuck in a port-a-potty out side a Mexican restraunt with a broken bathroom on a deserted highway in a desert at 120F degrees than smell that smell again. I wanted to run, it must hae struck some kind od GET THE FUCK AWAY DEATH IS COMMING thing with me.

    But I said to him "Hello How are you today how can I help you?"

    The brother/husband says to me "We have these DVD's to trade in we would like cash for them"

    along with those words rolling out of his mouth game the worst case of halitosis you have ever imagined. Its like he brushed his teethe with shit flavored toothpaste and a moldy old piece of bread as the brush. He puts one of the four sacks on the counter and dumps the DVDs out. They are all from the bargain bin at wal-mart. Not only that but they have some kind od black magled fur INSIDE the plastic casing of the DVDs.

    So i pick up the first DVD check the Disc and ring it in as a trade in. the SKU does not come up. that means it is a generic DVD and we have to look it up individually each time. With this fat man and his wife/sister breathing at me while the smell of them makes me want to take a shower. I politely excuse my self for a moment to go into the back room. When I get back there my co worker asks me what is going on. I explain to him the situation and we come up with a plan. We will each hold our breath for as long as we can and ring in as many DVDs as we can and switch off when the other needs to breath.

    After a few min of this we are making decent headway. with the sacks of bargain DVDs. then While im out on the floor taking my turn the front door opens I hear a little kid come running up to the display that the two "Filth monsters"(Thats what we called them when they were not around) were resting their excess fat on. He runs up to the Game boy advanced game and Screams "Yay Gameboy...." then he stops.. and vomits right into his hands. His mother hears him throw up and runs up to her son and Said "Honey are you... Oh My god what is that smell?!?!" She picks up her son (Still holding his puke) and runs out of my store.

    Finally after my co worker and I finish up the transaction and the filth mosters are gone we notice that there is a crust of something on out counter where they were resting their fat.

    That was the single worst retail experice ive had

  • Or I could just make a quick plugin.

    Get It Here

  • I know it uses a negligible amount of Vram but why waste it when there is no need to?

  • Do not want it. This is just another source of data (we have PVs, Hash Tables, Arrays, Global Variables at the moment, it's much enough). And it'll take some more ACE entries.

    You dont have to use them.Hash tables cannot be editied in the editime only in the runtime. But as for arrays you can edit data in the edit time but it would be easier to access a specific name variable.

    just use an invisible sprite, theres not really a need for this

    Invisible sprite will take up Vram and that is a waste of memory no matter how small it is. Why waste the Vram?

  • Variables local to the layout would be awesome. It would really help clear clutter from global variables and you could edit them during the edit time. They would be extremely useful.

  • We should also Have music starts playing condition.

  • We need a GetMusicVolume expression and a On music finished playing Condition.

  • The challenge was to make a game in one hour using nothing but the app runtime.

  • So ...

    no I cant tell that one.

  • I cope so much better with code now. After I learned a fair amount of Torquescript events feel so limited to me, probably because it gives me a list of things I can do but because I'm implementing Torque in a game with undocumented functions, I find new things every time I make something.

    Hell, I went back and redid my very first project yesterday, and actually halved its filesize.

    Tourque is the biggest hunk of junk Ive ever laid eyes on (at least the 3d engine is) I would COPY AND PASTE CODE from one script to another and it would not work. I close reopen Copy and paste it works fine. Ive implemented code that worked and my teacher did the Same Exact code WORD for WORD and it did not work. Tourque 3D is the single most annoying thing to work with.

    And the other thing with construct is that you can mod the source code pretty easily and make plugins for it if you need something.

  • I just found them and I have to say they are awesome. They are great for huds and other things that are on every layout but may change later in the game making process.

    Here is how they work. First make a new layout and name the layer something unique (for my example well use "InheritedHUD") then go to your games layout Click on the layer that You want to be your hud and go over to its properties and it says "Inherited Layer" Type in "InheritedHUD" and hit enter. The layer that you made on the other layout should be shown in your hud layer. So if you have a game across multiple layouts and want to make a change to the HUD it will be put through to all the layers it is inherited on Automatically. So you can inherit the HUD on all layouts and it will change Automatically.

  • Of course you can back flip what are you talking about. No back flipping? what do you think we are Stencyl?

  • I work in a computer lab so I am always on the chat or lurking on the boards. Its upsetting when the boards go dead for 15 min. It gets me through my fridays at work.

  • I didnt ignore the post Rich said to discuss it here. I took that to mean this thread. I guess not. There are some small features that dont really need a thread for them and I thought that to be one of them so I posted it in this thread.

  • Right click in the project tab and select new layout.

    Global varibles will stay the same through layouts private variables get reset to 0.
