Faithful companion

[iMaster 0]

Could someone please post the code to allow the NPC to time travel with CJ?

And while I am on it, how do I enable Mr. Fusion?

If you aren't comfortable using the source code, perhaps you should just wait until the next official release of the mod?

[bluespace88 9]

or tonight when I release the next source with the new coils and probably some features unfinished because I forgot what I was doing on the one week hiatus.

And the NPC should be able to time travel with you anyway.

Except I think they can escape when you time travel

That's not faithful

Question from the club:

Which global variables do you need to use to let the actor time travel?

-Bogodarov.

[bluespace88 9]

There is no variable for it.

Bgothingy just got pwned!

[bluespace88 9]

lol.

Its the semantics that let actors time travel.

[crazyjointje 0]

I have no idea what you're saying but bdodude you got pwned again... I think.

[iMaster 0]

I translated that from Russian it makes no hell of a sense to me.

[bluespace88 9]

does to me. But like i said, its not the variable that controls it but the semantics.

Though I don't know if you know what semantics is, much less translate it xD

[iMaster 0]

OK, so the backfire question is... what is semantics?

[bluespace88 9]

The meaning of what you're writing that gets you the results you want after execution.

[iMaster 0]

Any

examples?

[Bogodarov 0]

Ок but when I create the delorean even the player in it cannot move in time.

[bluespace88 9]

umm, tons? Heres one

if(actor.InCar()) displaySpeed();

else clearScreen()

Heres another

while(dtime < currtime) wait 0;

reenter();

And tons more. Its just the way you do it.

[bluespace88 9]

Ок but when I create the delorean even the player in it cannot move in time.

well, its up to you to figure out how.

[Bogodarov 0]

BlueSpace88 :Make a script - the sample of moving in time of the actor. And I with it will understand

[bluespace88 9]

no

[Bogodarov 0]

Thanks though on it

[iMaster 0]

I think I got some of that.

Like...

If (actor.incar()) changetime ()

Or something...?

If I got it right, you need to set the time vehicle to transport the actor with it on temporal displacement with the use of an IF command, right?

[bluespace88 9]

ok, in plain English

This is correct semantics

The dog fetched the ball

Incorrect semantics

The fetched dog ball the

What I'm saying is that its not a simple variable, but you have to think it through logically in order to make it work.

[iMaster 0]

In other words you have to think of the game engine as of a blonde who only understands SLOOOW and logically... scrap that idea.

So how long approx does it take to master the semantics?

[bluespace88 9]

how long does it take to learn a foreign language?

[iMaster 0]

About 2 years to me. Depends on experience.

В общем надо тренироваться, тренироваться, и еще раз тренироваться.
