    PortalPlayer: yep, pointers like that are an awesome way to support multiple return values, and used all the time in TPT. Atomic10: uh, can you give a link to the exact post you are talking about? I can't remember my mod ever doing anything special with EQVE at any point. Also for your lua problem, there is no nice way. I recommend checking if .tmp2 is 0, if so, set it to 1 and initialize the other values however you want.

    Also, in Lua, how do I make an element do a function when it's spawned? Because so far, I've used an extremely idiodic way, which is: I make the element check if it is touching anything (like NONE or itself) and then it does the function. And that created a LOT of lag! Please help...

    jacob1: I've been wanting to know this for a while now, and I've got to ask you... When I go to your mod's thread page, it explains a thingy that makes EQVE DO something. I went to the Lua section of powdertoy.co.uk, and went to your Favorites Menu post, and THEN tried to download the autorun.txt that made EQVE do that, and when I tried to download it, it said "Doesn't Exist" Also, it says it's 4 years old...

    I don't use bitshifts... though when I did my clock I found a reason to use POINTERS! Yay! I have this library installed called "time" with several date/time functions. I needed to separate the first and last digits of the minutes, hours, month, etc. to print them individually. So I pass my function two arguments, &frstDgt and &scndDgt, and I can use its two "return" values! Every other time I've used pointers it's been an example in a book.

    Uhh Hey! Apparently moazte has copied several saves without permission. And doesn't give credit.

    jacob1: Okay. I upvoted it. And please don't ban me if I bug it out and something negative happens because of it... (Nah, just kidding. (Well, obviously.))

    Can I ask a question that I have asked many times before?
