  • Sweet! Maybe I should retire the OR plug-in then. It had a short, sad life. <img src="smileys/smiley41.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • For what it's worth, regarding the OR plug-in, there is no good way to dynamically define the number of expressions in a condition. After a number of PMs with Ashley, he convinced me it would be easier to wait for him to build it into C2, rather than try to code the clunky dynamic method I was working on.

    dcrew, I can add more conditions to the plug-in, i.e. an OR-3 with 3 expressions, an OR-4 with 4 expression, etc., if that would help you get by for now. Otherwise, we can just wait until it gets implemented (but not before families please! :D).

  • I added a star! That is a really weird bug. Are they usually fairly responsive to bug fixes?

  • Animmaniac, nice example. I will start using your method instead.

  • Here is an example I made previously for someone else.

    Click Inventory Example

    I hope it helps.

  • Vinians,

    Perhaps Mipey's plug-in might help?

    Mipey's Extra Expressions

    Specifically, code2char.

  • Vinians,

    That indicates a trigger event, and it is always at the top of the condition list for that event.

    Here is the manual page that describes it: Event manual page

    Look under the Events run top to bottom section.

  • No problem. I'm not sure how useful this plug-in is anyway. It's kind of difficult to make it more dynamic.

    Regarding triggers versus groups, I always thought triggers were events that get triggered by some user action, i.e. a mouse click.

    A lot can be done with groups, but if it's functions you're after, have you taken a look at rexrainbow's function plug-in? It's pretty cool.

  • Maxum, Oops! My bad. I accidentally overwrote the capx with a test version.

    It has been fixed.

  • Nice nice! Its a cool plugin but can you make one with more or's ? Or one that we can combine and create more or's expressions. Thanks for reply!

    How many ORs would you need in one condition? There's no good way in the editor to add a random number of statements. I could expand the number of OR expressions to whatever you might need.

  • Vinians,

    For what it's worth, I just posted a conditional OR plugin here: OR Plugin

    There is also an example geared towards your issue, although it uses a mouse click instead of the touch mechanism.

    I hope this helps.

  • <font color=red>This plugin has been removed, since it is no longer necessary.

    You should use the built-in OR function, which is a lot more useful.

    PM me if you need a copy of the plugin for some reason, but I would suggest you modify any projects which use this plugin to instead use the built-in OR function.</font>

  • I wish to have that experience like R0J0hound !!

    You must first be enlightened with the Zen of the Grinning Hound!

    R0J0hound, nice example.

  • Do you have a proxy configured in Internet Properties --> Connections --> LAN settings?

    I could see something like this happening if you had a proxy configured and did not select the "Bypass proxy servers for local addresses" option.

    It seems like localhost should be available no matter what, but you never know what those crazy Microsoft programmers may have done.

  • I could use something like that too, —

    Sharing is caring!
