And of course anything with a -> in it, since Sto automatically closes parentheses or quotation marks behind it.

xlib can use the ANS command, but there is currently a nasty bug if ANS is empty when you do it

oh I see, I assume its better to store 0 to ans by default at game startup in case

u guys think we should change this forum so its an overall BASIC tricks forum kinda like wat UTI has? thatd be useful

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #49 on:** December 17, 2005, 10:48:00 am »

hmm maybe that would be a good idea. It might become a mess after a while though if we make this topic general, people would post the same tricks over and over after a while. What do you guys think we should do?

what about only letting staff and managers post stuff in this section? and submissions from members and RPG coders have to be approved?

or: make a thread for gathering ideas and tricks, then make a thread where only staff can post, where the useful information is put into and explained.

I might create a section just for BASIC and one for ASM/C, its pretty hard to decide, since not much people ask help here yet. Or I will rename this topic. Members should be able to share their ideas as well

I like the renaming thing and letting people post submissions about everything. Staff/Managers could just go through and make sure no one posts the same trick twice. I wouldn't mind keeping track of that.

I got a question: what does instring( do? :

:

dragon__lance · « **Reply #56 on:** December 26, 2005, 08:42:00 am »

from wat the book saids: itll return the character position in string of the first character of substring.
instring( string, substring(, where to start looking).
id ask tifreak8x, as i saw it used in his code

, but my guess is u can use instring to find the location of specific characters and use that for hit detection.

Spellshaper · « **Reply #57 on:** December 26, 2005, 08:56:00 am »

ah I see...

tifreak · « **Reply #58 on:** December 26, 2005, 10:25:00 am »

InString("ABCDEFGHI","FG" will return 6, since that is where it starts at. If you take:

If not(InString("ABCDEFGHI",sub(Str1,T-1,1):Then:etc...

This is the basic syntax of hit detection when going left for strings. Look at my walking engine for more examples on the pokemon beta.
