    with (F2LogWindow_Window){
      new GuiCheckBoxCtrl("F2LogWindow_CheckBox") {
        profile = GuiBlueCheckBoxProfile;
        hint = "Clicking this checkbox will clear the F2 console window!";
        x = 575;
        y = 4;
        width = 100;
        height = 20;
        text = "";
      }
    }
  }
}
function F2LogWindow_CheckBox.onAction() {
  if (F2LogWindow_CheckBox.checked) {
    ("F2LogWindow_Tab").setselectedbyid(0);
    ("F2LogWindow_Text0").text = "Cleared!";
    for (temp.i = 1; temp.i < 6; temp.i++) {
      ("F2LogWindow_Text" @ i).text = " ";
    }
    sleep(1);
    F2LogWindow_CheckBox.checked = false;
     ("F2LogWindow_Text0").text = " ";
  }
}

Any screenshots?

A check box seems a very weird way to do it. Why not use a button?

And what is this for?

PHP Code:

x = 10^2.76;

because it's tiny.

Only that it's 575.43993733715693 and consumes some processing time to calculate.

Make a tiny button!

Use a button with an image.

snipping it down to this works just fine too:

PHP Code:

if(player.chat == "/clear logs"){
    ("F2LogWindow_Tab").setselectedbyid(0);
    ("F2LogWindow_Text0").text = "Cleared!";
    for (temp.i = 1; temp.i < 6; temp.i++) {
      ("F2LogWindow_Text" @ i).text = " ";
    }
  }

I wished there rules was more strict for the code gallery. It's for releasing code to the public, not for other members to boast themselves by correcting them in a(n) unconstructive/non-informal way or try to make better code than the OP. It's not a challenge to have the best code.

I'm not saying that no one posts constructive comments either, it's just that there's a lack of these posts in the sea of unconstructive ones.

Chompy is one smart guy. Also it's kind of the scripting peoples nature here to outdo one another. Just like GFXers sometimes.

That's a really bad idea, and I hope you edit your post and fix it. Teaching scripters to script in a way that requires them to pull out a calculator to read what's being written is counter-productive and defeats the purpose of the Code Gallery.

The Code Gallery is for helping new scripters by giving them model code examples. Granted, this script is also useful to developers, but the main purpose of any code gallery script is to help scripters learn.

The problems with the code in themselves do not make the script bad, but the way in which the OP jumped at myself and others for calling out the problems makes me think he has no interest in helping scripters and instead is of the mindset of "if it works, it works".

I don't see any non-constructive comments in this thread, either, until the point at which he accused everyone of whining about his script.

I consider you a better scripter than myself, Chompy, and I think you too would find scripts that have every number raised to a power to be very hard to read. You're not helping him or anyone reading this become a better scripter if you're not suggesting improvements to the way it is done now.

The code gallery is a place for people to post helpful scripts. By posting on the code gallery, you are always setting an example if someone likes your script. Therefore, it is very important for people to comment if something is being done incorrectly so that people who do want to use this script can change it to be more efficient/effective. We don't need to teach bad habits

I don't see people just grilling his script for no reason, they are providing real reasons why ____ is bad. For example, if you have a constant number, 575, you should just write 575 instead of calculating the value every single time. As Crow said, calculating 10^2.76 each time takes up more processing time than is necessary. Granted, it doesn't really make a big difference in this situation, it's still valuable knowledge to hold onto, and I think many scripters can benefit from this kind of advice.

Constructive criticism is an important part of learning how to be a better scripter. Deas, instead of becoming offended by these posts, you should embrace them and appreciate their helpful feedback, because it's not just blatant bashing.

Thanks for changing your original post, Deas_Voice. A shame that Sam deleted all of the posts in this thread, though, since some of them had very valid points.

The issue is much more that you need a calculator to read his code, not that takes a fraction of a fraction of a second longer to compute.

[Deas_Voice]

i suggest you all delete your posts about this minor issue, so we will have a clean thread about the code i've submitted here.
i've changed the original post to use non-calculation and added a Hint to the checkbox to tell the user what it does.

lets put this behind us, i'm sorry for thinking you all was out to bash me.
(although, some of you clearly was)

[cbk1994]

No reason to delete posts. Another scripter might stumble upon it and notice the discussion that's taken place, which could well benefit them.

I deleted my posts since it actually had no relevance to this thread alone, but more to the scripting community and the code gallery itself. If anyone's interested in the content of the posts I wrote, just send a PM.

Probably wouldn't hurt to provide a function that clears the windows. I.e:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function clearF2Logs() {
  for (temp.i = 1; temp.i < 6; temp.i++) {
    ("F2LogWindow_Text" @ i).text = "";
  }
} 


Re-usability should be another thing taken into consideration in the Code Gallery.
