Does Redlynx expect me to be some kind of intelligent person | Forums

I mean, the stuff in the editor is so hard to understand. Then I mean the stuff in the triggers section.

I just don't understand most of the things what they do. I try to make things but it never really works like I want to. Maybe it's because I'm dutch and everything is english. But setting it to dutch language is still too complicated for me. @___@

Take the time to watch all of the editor tutorial vids at youtube.com/redlynxtv !!

If you have programming experience, it helps a lot. If you view impulses as 'Do', Filters as 'If', and Events as various functions, it becomes relatively simple.

E.g. to move object1 to object2's position if object1 is lower than object2, I could use the following pseudocode:

[code:22mcpaas]Do
If (GenericFilter("Less Than", Height(Object2, Object1), 0))
True: ObjectPositionEvent( // global, not local!
X:ObjectInfoDataSource(Object2, "Position X"),
Y:ObjectInfoDataSource(Object2, "Position Y"),
Z:ObjectInfoDataSource(Object2, "Position Z")
)->Object1
False: Do nothing
EndIf
While True // Interval Trigger with interval set to 1[/code:22mcpaas]

And to answer your question... either intelligent or persistent. When it comes to coding, both can work out - though I'd take an intelligent coder who can follow best practices over a persistent coder who hacks things together any day...

I guess it's for the best if I just kill myself.

Lol.

Just view the tutorials and experiment. You'll be ok.

I can vouch for that. Just having a semester's worth of beginning C++ helps tremendously! Persistence is also a helpful trait. Just keep experimenting and you'll start to understand how things work.

I just see it coming PEGI Intellect Rating.

Lol.

Experiment! Exactly what I've been doing with some of those Data Sources at the moment and you do quickly learn what they do.

I'm still having ideas way above my competence level, but trial and error is working well, and I'm becoming a more fluent "programmer"!

Is this some kind of sick joke?
