Pissed off does not mean irritated anymore?

But it has not been done, perhaps to not break backwards compatibility? Perhaps he would like to wait until the next client revision?

I understand, and as the name suggests, it's a very generic function. addEventListener does not even have to be added, although it would be good.

If catchevent worked the way you and myself would like it to, I could make this:

PHP Code:

function addEventListener(obj,event,func) {
  obj.catchEvent(event,func);
} 


That way, your event would work fine, and I could keep standards. As I said in my other thread, I'd like to keep general c-like based script standards in order to encourage more players to script.

Because, my wanting to be PWA has ANYTHING to do with this thread? You're just picking bones my old friend.

You say I do not understand consistency, when I am talking about standards. Standards are about keeping things consistent.

As I have also said, if you have a problem, feel free to IM me or to email me. You will not be ignored.
