I don't understand what point you're trying to make with this. I already said it was just my opinion (which hardly matters because Alfonso is the Co-Manager doing the hiring, not me).

And TTS is by far the most popular event on the list, so is the example supposed to be good or... what?

He's saying the event is full of bugs and glitches. Also, from what I understood, you expected LATs to be able to do full scripts (Like what Tim did), guess I just misunderstood you.

The rest of Tim's events are mainly the ones I was referring to (although TTS does have its issues). I understand you can't script so this may not make a lot of sense to you, but there are issues with the scripting in all of them, even if they don't inhibit game play. It's hard to explain beyond that.

Perhaps an example which would make more sense to you would be all the house scripting he did—you've noticed most of his access stuff resets whenever the levels go out of memory?

I've always wondered why that happened, yet always wondered why it wasn't fixed...

Re-read?

Functionality could just mean making a plant

PHP Code:

dontblock;
drawoverplayer; 


@Chris; I get it z.z I was just making an example

It's partially my fault, I just copied a couple of the house classes without changing them. It shouldn't be hard for someone like Vulcan to fix, though.

I'd recommend not using GS1 online.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.dontBlock();
  this.drawOverPlayer();
}

LAT's should also know stuff like this too...
//#CLIENTSIDE
if (created){
x-=#;
y-=#;

I've been telling players to make me a ticket with the level name that has this problem so I can fix it.

@Rogue: ok ok kitty, I just misread *pets*

I already chose a couple of people from the development applications, but yes I am waiting on Vulcan to approve them.

You should correct this and say.... Guns shouldn't be touched once they're completely balanced.... The guns are about as unbalanced as the Era economy.

This is what I'm trying to accomplish right now, I'm planning to have all the weapons balanced then leaving them. They will not be touched by anyone for any reason (unless we get something like an HP update)

Alright sounds good, I was hoping that's what your plan was. haha

ok
when u go to other servers u do
lighteffects,no pk zone,add classes ect
i guess Era is the only server that doesnt allow players to do level scripting
in the levels they make. that shows us what Era is about

Like I said, I seem to have misunderstood what you guys were saying. What I understood was that you expected LAT's to be able to do full scripts such as the ones Tim did with his events - I will not allow them to do so. If it's something like changing a flag or variable then sure I'll let them do that, but only basic things like lighting effects, doors, image parts, etc. Not full scripts like making a whole spar system.

ya any thing in weapon list or class list on rc
should be a nat job then im sorry alf i was like wow are u serious
if its a npc level script then its a lat job
lats shouldnt even have nc rights to rc

They don't (well not on era). And well like I said, it depends on what you mean by "level script". If it's just joining a door class, addin a barrel, addin account reatricted doors then sure it's fine - just as long as it's not like a huge spar system and such. Just small things like changing variables.
