Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, August 4 2005 09:30 Profile Homepage #147 If your party isn't starting in the outdoors where you chose the starting location to be, you may have to check and make sure that you actually put the starting location in the right place (or that the party is starting in the right town). As for "end" calls, they make the game stop reading script and let the player act in order to go to the next turn. This normally happens whenever the game runs out of script to read (i.e. it hits a "break"), but an end makes it happen sooner. Here's an example: The first time through, the "if" part isn't true, so the "end" doesn't run. Instead, the flag gets set and the message pops up. The second time this state gets called, the "if" part is true, so the "end" does run, and the state stops entirely. The flag isn't set, and the message doesn't pop up, because the game doesn't even read that. This is an example of a one-time message. Here's something that does the same thing: The first time through, the "if" part is true, so the flag gets set and the message pops up. The second time, none of this is true, so the game keeps reading to find something to do, but it finds nothing and stops when it comes to the end of the state.

I'm finding it very hard to read your mis-written code and figure out what you're trying to do, but I don't think anything you've done here requires an end call. If you want more than one thing to happen after an if call, you need to use brackets, like this: Also, as a general rule, you need to indent less than you currently are indenting, but this is just to make your scripts readable; the game doesn't care.

Our President in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, August 3 2005 18:10 Profile Homepage #57 quote: Originally written by Ash Lael: Bush is not... even the US government. I'm sure what you're trying to say was much less absurd than this. While there are more people at Microsoft than Bill Gates, it's pretty silly to say that when Bill Gates delivers a speech about the next Windows operating system at a software convention, he's not speaking for Microsoft. Ash, I think you've misunderstood (or deliberately misrepresented) the opposing point of view. No one has said that since George W. Bush is president, he shouldn't be religious in his personal life; people have said that while acting in his capacity as president, he shouldn't endorse a particular religion (or religion at all). That doesn't just mean that he can't pass laws saying, "Christianity is the national religion"; it also means that when he delivers the State of the Union, he can't say, "Christianity is the best religion." The idea is that he's a private citizen when he's on vacation in his ranch in Texas, but he's the president when he's delivering a speech to the nation, and he has two different sets of rights and responsibilities in those circumstances. In the same way that a school can have a regulation that says that teachers should not speak obscenities while on the job, but that school can't say that teachers shouldn't speak obscenities at any time, the government has a regulation that says that government officials can't endorse a particular religion while on the job, but they can do whatever they want in their own time. This is very much in keeping with the spirit of the First Amendment. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, August 3 2005 10:59 Profile Homepage #34 I read an analysis a few days ago that said that after Okinawa, U.S. forces were not even considering an invasion of the main Japanese islands. Their next step would've been to bomb the rail lines in Japan. Here's the thing: most of Japan is very mountainous, and only a few spots can actually grow substantial amounts of food. The entire country relies on transporting that food to the other areas in order to keep the major cities fed. The Japanese navy was already sunk, though; the rail lines were all they had left. In other words, bombing the rail lines would've caused a famine that could potentially have killed as many people as died in the Holocaust. EDIT: Oh yeah, and the U.S. doesn't have the authority (moral or legal) to take out foreign dictators. We can oppose and bring sanctions and deal within the U.N. in order to cause diplomatic trouble, but invading for the sake of regime change is wrong.
