Data's crazy and Australian or something and -y is up.
Team 1 is Green, Team 0 is Red.
Anyone got anything else?

List of functions lol:

Ophanim, the inverted y is pretty much normal in all kinds of script languages, not only in DaTa's lua intepretation. For example, actionscript does it the same way too. To me, it feels more logical though. I mean, if it starts from upper left corner, of course it would go down as + and right as +.

What are you talking about?

Also actionscript is just a crappy Flash language.

Yeah, actionscript blows, it's not flexible at all and doesn't make much sense to me whatsoever.

Also how come lua doesn't use brackets instead of the end stuff?

Hey
I've seen some crazy stuff with actionscript.

Or you can start in the ♥♥♥♥ center.

Which would require the game to do more calculations than it needs, and be a whole lot more complicated for anyone trying to code against it. It's a bunch easier when everything is generally positive.

Plus, yeah, pretty much any computer graphics thing you use ever will have y+ as down. It's a convention.

It's a dumb convention.

Wait, why are you confused about the +y down? What's confusing is the +x left.

Uh what? +X is right, not left.

There's just no negative X. Scene wrap point and onward moves to the right.

Disregard, I stimulate receptacles. Apparently this grid in this article is a backwards grid for joint offset.

Why the backwards grid is given priority in the article I'll never know.

Stupidity aside, there's always negative X. At least when you're talking relative. Relative to an actor at (300,100), an actor at (200,100) is off the x coordinate of the first by -100 pixels.

Hey, need help with scene Lua.
Is it possible to Have a Countdown (three minutes) that starts when an actor enters an area and results in the gibbing of another actor if it gets to 0?

Seemed like the right place to put this.

self.GibTimer Timer(); or something like that. This is in every lua file, so check there, as I am too lazy.
Then just run a check
if self.GibTimer IsPastSimMS(3 minutes of milliseconds here ) then blah blah.

Negative X works for me. Just don't put a space after the negaitve. This works:


Makes them hop left.

Makes them hop right.
