I find it moronic that many American politicians and many Americans for that matter, bash Communism for being an evil to be destroyed...

The so called Communism of which you speak is/was actually totalitarianism, covered with a thin veneer of "Communism".

True communism--where everyone works for the community; where work and resources are equally shared, based on need and ability; where no one is in charge--would be a good thing.

The problem is, someone always wants to be in charge. Someone ALWAYS thinks they deserve more resources, and thinks they should work less, than everyone else. Then the community breaks down and devolves into a totalitarian or dictatorial state.

But I agree with a lot of what you said. Most US politicians, in both parties, have become hypocritical wind-bags, whose only purpose in serving in public office is to get re-elected. The majority of US citizens have become complacent and apathetic, and are more concerned with who will be the next American Idol, than with the slow erosion of their civil liberties and freedom.

Has anyone played this yet? I was considering signing up to see what it's like, but they don't appear to have a trial period, and $60 is kind of steep to try something out.

I agree with all of the above. The NDAA is a travesty of freedom.

The thing about dystopian fiction (e.g. Nineteen Eighty-Four, A Handmaid's Tale, etc.) is that they always show the current state of totalitarian/dictatorial governments, but never detail the events that get them to that state. Laws like this are what will get us there.

Security-at-the-cost-of-freedom FTW!

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.
