GROUPING
« on: January 05, 2020, 10:22:39 PM »
It would be good to be able to group objects together in-game so that you can command them as a group.

For example:


if group (ID) x   > 700
{
…. do something ...
}

This is a really important feature to implement. Im a former MMF2 dev, I already know how it works.

This would be PERFECT for PB to solve the ID problem that has caused a lot of issues. The question is...Is it possible?

Surely, but let me explain how it works in MMF2.
MMF2 uses a system called "Object Qualifiers", it allows to add in object properties a qualifier (example:"Enemy","Water","Wastebasket",etc...)
And so, we create events that affect not a single object, but every object with the selected qualifier.
Example:I have a "Player" object that can attack and many objects that all have the enemy qualifier. I want them to die when attacked by Player.
Code: [Select]
WHEN "Player" attacks object
IF the object = Enemy group
   Delete the object
ELSE
   Do Nothing
ENDIF

I don't understand the € thingy. But I guess it's Europe currency, right? I'm familiar with it somewhat.

A Euro is roughly equivalent to an american dollar. It changes some. Last I checked, 1$ is 0.9 Euros.
