The following is an idea for editor:

when having variable restrictions, you can have:

drop down menu showing all variables in game, drop down with less than, greater than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to, and equal options, drop down menu showing another list of all variable in game.

How this works is you select a variable for the first dropdown box, eg variable1, and then another variable for the third dropdown box, eg. variable2. Then you select the options in the second box.

Variable1 > variable 2 restriction


So this means the restriction is variable 1 must be greater than variable 2 for the link to be enabled, unrestricted, etc.

This would be great to have, and if it went through, how long would it take.

This is third in the list. I changed the title.

o, ok. But is it currently in the works, or is it in the back of alexs mind for now.

Or has he even seen it yet?

Yes ,this would be great to have.  It should have another box that had a list of actions so:

If  Health is greater then Weapons then display List of Things

*of course yo uwouldn't have lsit of things but it could be either a message or a varaible change or an item found or anything...

yes, or if health is greater attack strenght then go to page: Increase Attack Strenght.

yes, this is turning out quite well.

Havaco says: What about my battle thing? It works perfectly!

yes and i am hoping this comes soon because i need it for my game.

youve been on the site a few times now but havent said anything about this

I understand what you're looking for, and agree it'd be a cool feature.

However, I think it'd be better to just do something like this in a "free text restriction." In a FTR, you just type in how you want the link to be restricted. For example ...
   ((HEALTH < 24) AND (STRENGTH < DEFENCE)) OR (MONEY>100) OR (HASITEM(224))

So basically, the link would be displayed if ...
   you have item #224 (this would require the author to look up the ItemID, which would be exposed on the Item Page)
     --- or ---
  you have more than 100 money
    --- or ---
   your health is below 24 and your strength is less than your defence

Make sense?

a bit, so would i be able to do this right now? or once its implemented?

This is a ways off unfortunately. I'm focusing on the Community features right now. Next up is help/usability features. Then ADvanced.

do you want help with help file, sorry, would you like assistance with doing the help file?

Well right now we don't know what we want. So, think about it and write about what you think would be helpful.

Oen thing I definitely want to do is Articles -- like, user-written texts about how to do things. Nate just wrote one on how to rate games, that would be an example of an article.

Since you're the expert at the ADV editor it would seem, you could write an article on, say, how you did your driving sequence.

oh, i see, i was thinking of doing a help file (word document basically) on the adv editor. Step by step intended for beginners.

I need help with my help artical section in the Newbies section. Can you write artical 3 about getting pictures and include the following paragraphs:

Getting One - Making it a GIF or BMP on paint programs.

Naming it and getting it on the server.

Renaming and Deleting

Making it your Avatar and describing what is an avatar.



I will touch up on it a little more when I create sections for making the games.

Oh, and using 2 windows copy some pictures from the site like I did.

i was hoping now, cause i could really use it. Right now in cryptode, you can visit a casino and play blackjack plus other games right. So i need if your total is over the dealers number you win, etc. right now its not working out properly, if you check the game you will see why, i have included a DIRECT link to the proper page. if you want to see.

It's a tough feature to write. Writing code tp parse and validate expressions is not easy ...

basically ur saying its not happening any time soon. lol

Thats pretty much it, I'm guessing.  lol.
