Something To Add
 

something along the lines of 'with (nearestplayer) {}'

so, it would only effect the nearest player in the level. I think this would be useful.

It's scriptable anyway :-/

So is hitobjects and testplayer, yet they exist.

Testplayer, yes. Hitobjects? No...

Lies, all lies

just use the formula for right triangles, find the hypotnus

Please, can you remove that signature?

just make it smaller ;)

he doesn't have the FTP password to my server :D

what resolution are you in??

lmao, he is on 640x480

What, you couldn't do hitobjects with a for/next loop on players, npcs, and compus?

No, hitobjects sends a message to the server, which in turn does the player checking itself. Meaning that the checking is serverside and thus fair, compared to the clientside arrangement that would arise from using for loops and hitplayer/whatever.

stole the words right out of my mouth

Acting smart makes you dumb.

lol

i was just joking :D

Weird. I use hitobjects on the rescripted Trident, and people complain that it lags so much it's unfair now. Almost everything else uses for/next loops and no complaints.
Whatever.

They think it lags because they attack where they think the enemy is and it doesn't register as a hit because their version of the world is off by a few deciseconds. But then they try the other weapons with for/next and they can hit people every time if they just get it right on the clientside. So to sum up: Graalians are stupid and don't understand lag.

so remember kids, lead your target :p

well, yes, but a "nearestplayer" variable would still be nice to have (help newbie scripters who are too dumb to understand a for-loop)

Do we really want newbie scripters making weapons of mass destruction anyhow :confused: ?

Yes we do, it keeps their mind off of asking for scripting help.

Aha, and then the lag monster can gobble them up.

the lag monster lives in my compuer :(
