Windows v6 beta test

This is probably more a Windows restriction I am guessing.

I'm pretty sure it is. If there are no in-window menus available, it treats the ALT key as though you clicked the program icon in the top left of the title bar, which brings up the default "Move, Close, Resize," etc menu. I don't think programs themselves can disable that function. Google Chrome completely removed the title text and icon at the top of their window, yet you can still click that top left corner and achieve the same results.

It's a restriction of the rendering loop being in the same thread as the Windows message loop. I highly doubt Stefan is going to go through the potential multi-threading headaches to resolve this.

Perhaps a emitter.particle.unique is in order to deal with those conditions.

Sounds good. Stefan, would you kindly implement this, please? :3

Stefan did that on purpose for efficiency. On kingdoms iphone we have to create a new object each time we want new text basically. After about 30 objects or so, modulus back to 0.

I know he did. The behavior should be optional, though. I also asked him personally about it, and he replied that it shouldn't even do that with text particles or something like that. He also said I should try two particle types and setting both vars the same, for that would eliminate his optimization, but that didn't work either.

Ok next version will have emitter.particle.uniqueparticle = true/false, will be released this weekend or so.

Thanks!

Here's an issue I'm having. I'm using GraalControl.onMouseDown() and call a function from within side this. Now within this function I call another and same again in the next function. The params in getDist() are always the params of onMouseDown(), not the ones I send.

PHP Code:

function GraalControl.onMouseDown()
{

  doActions();

}

function doActions()
{

  someFunction();

}

function someFunction()
{

  temp.dist = getDist( player.x, temp.nx);

}

function getDist( temp.x1, temp.x2, temp.y1, temp.y2)
{

  if ( params.size() == 4)
    return (((( temp.x2 - temp.x1) ^ 2) + (( temp.y2 - temp.y1) ^ 2)) ^ 0.5);

  if ( params.size() == 2)
    return ((( temp.x2 - temp.x1) ^ 2) ^ 0.5);

} 


Basically in getDist the params are that of onMouseDown() regardless.

This is intentional. You have to give the parameters names. Stefan explained it somewhere but I can't find the post.

EDIT:

The params[] array is only created when the script is called (doesn't even need to be a function, GS1 style). That is either on an event, or when you call a function of another object. To get a variable number of parameters either use func(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4 etc) and ignore the arguments that you don't want, or pass the parameters as array.

Currently accessing the parameters for each function as array is not possible because it would mean a big speed slowdown, although if it's really important to have it then we could add something like temp.functionparams[] which dynamically converts the function parameters to variables.

Provide an actual working script (especially in Bug Reports) with some output if you want to help get the issue resolved.

Edit: So it's intentional.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
  echo("== Created ==");
  getSomevalue(1, 2);
}

function GraalControl.onMouseDown() {
  echo("== Clicked ==");
  echo("MouseDown: " @ params);
  somefunction();
  this.scheduleevent(1, "CheckParams", "");
}

function onCheckParams() {
  echo("check: " @ params);
}

function somefunction() {
  echo("somefunction: " @ params);
  someotherfunction();
}

function someotherfunction() {
  echo("someotherfunction: " @ params);
  temp.getsomething = getSomevalue(1, 2);
}

function getSomevalue() {
  echo("getsomevalue: " @ params);
  echo("getsomevalue params: " @ a SPC b SPC c SPC d);
} 


echos..

PHP Code:

== Created ==
getsomevalue: 
getsomevalue params: 0 10  
== Clicked ==
MouseDown: 0,414,540,1,0
somefunction: 0,414,540,1,0
someotherfunction: 0,414,540,1,0
getsomevalue: 0,414,540,1,0
getsomevalue params: 0 10  
check: "", 


My advice, don't rely on the params array when you can specify parameters in the function. In your case just add a second function.

On second look at your code... lol?
