Modification Help / Re: Vector Math

« on: August 14, 2015, 12:37:36 AM »

It has to do with the way Torque casts strings to numbers.
It takes any digitis it finds, stopping after the first non-numerical character.
So "123 536 767" becomes "123" and then you're just calling methods on whatever object 123 is

The main difference between math class and torque is that yo  would have been taught a 2d coordinate system in class, whereas torque is 3d

In torque, a vector is any figure represented as "x y z" whether it be a position, velocity, distance, etc. As others have said, a point can be considered a vector from the origin

To answer the title

It is so you can tell when you are being a complete dumbass. Seriously why would you shove something hot up your poop chute?

When you eat a lot of spicy food, the spiciness kinda... hands around until the other end

Suggestions & Requests / Re: A updated Port Forwarding Tutorial

« on: August 13, 2015, 10:10:01 AM »

Blockland does not support IPv6, and I'm stumped because my router uses it by default.

I have no doubts that your modem's WAN link uses IPv6 by default, especially if it was given to you by your ISP. But i doubt the LAN side of the router uses it, especially on a consumer level device.

Either way, IPv6 or IPv4, the process is going to be the same, just different IP formats

does anybody know if it's possible to bypass port forwarding?
ie, if i plug into the router with an Ethernet cord i'm guessing i'll still need the forward the ports?

Plug straight into a modem, or use UPnP

Modification Help / Re: Code for doing math with military time?

UnconvertTime() turns that values back into hours and minutes.

Why?

use getTimeString(str) to convert back to hh:mm:ss

Don't reinvent the wheel
If you don't want seconds then just cut off after the last colon.

Also, if you want something more versatile, make converttime accept "hh:mm" and split it into hours and minutes within the function instead of requiring it to already be split.

continuously subtract 1440 from %time till %time is < 1440 .

Never do this, this is what the modulus operator is for
%thing = %time % 1440;
Of course he doesn't need either, he just needs the already existing function

A common pitfall of datetime values is thinking of them as string values, rather than numeric values.

If you can find/write a function to convert hh:mm:ss to a single integer representing number of seconds, you can add them with regular math, then use getTimeString(str) to convert back to hh:mm:ss

Modification Help / Re: Client-sided function to check if the client is the host of the server?

« on: August 11, 2015, 08:41:22 PM »

The server name will update at the next posting. But it really doesn't matter: these things all have to be done intentionally to trick the system (who's going to throw up a server then change their name or just happen to have a conflicted name?) and if people really want to trick it they could just edit the code. It doesn't matter if the client thinks they're the host as long as any servercommands check to see if they actually are the host. But, if you're going to be doing that, you may as well just have a host handshake: when the host connects, send them a commandToClient that tells them they're host. But, again, this is also circumventable by people.

Yeah unfortunately we have no clue what he's using any of this for and he's not paying attention to the thread any more

not during testing, no. too easy to cheat.
during classwork or freetime though, i think it should be allowed so long as it isn't disruptive

Kind of related: my high school had this thing where basically every wednesday, instead of having homeroom for 15 minutes between 1st and 2nd period, we'd have our first period moved ahead a half hour, and then no homeroom between. That first half hour, instead of first period, it was just...nothing. It was still considered school hours, so we had to be there on time and everything, but there was nothing to be there for. And since it was still considered school hours, all the regular rules still applied, like no listening to music, even quietly with earbuds
