Modification Help / Re: Why is it not echoing %pl.rads

That's like comparing %obj.getDatablock() == 0. The compiler will optimize the operands and think it's an integer (and non-numeric strings default to 0)

if(%object.getDatablock() == nameToID("ScrapElectronicsBrickData"))

(or .getID(), up to you)

Whoops. You're right. I forgot that Torque doesn't tokenize identifiers because it was made by monkeys. Edited the original code.

what do you mean by firstWord?
Edit NVM my friend told me that it wasnt a function

Huh? firstWord(%x) does the same thing as getWord(%x, 0). It's just easier to understand (I guess).

It's always impressive to me when these people get arrested and they're under 18. Like, that's taking stuff to the next level. You see people defeat the most advanced security systems in the world and evade detection by thousands of real world professionals, then they finally slip up and you find out that everyone was duped by a 17 year old. It's one thing to be 17 and deface the side of your local supermarket with graffiti, but this is really some next-level stuff.

What's the process of measuring the % of the bill that's intact?

No idea. It may be possible for you to rip a bill in a jagged way and have both halves considered 51%, but you'd have to succeed more than half the time for it to be worth it.

It has to be 51% in tact. We talked about this in my Economics class. The Treasury will take broken money as long as the bill is at least 51% in tact and return to you a new bill, so while a company is likely to reject your 2/3 of a bill, you can always mail it to the treasury and get a crisp new one.

It wasn't done by the person planting the brick, right? It can be easy to overlook stuff like if(%OwnerID != %obj.client.bl_id) when testing.

Try getting the brick's ID with /getid and running this console command:

%b=BadBrickTracker;%cnt=%b.getCount();for(%i=0;%i<%cnt;%i++)if(%b.getObject(%i).getID()==INSERT_ID) return call(echo,1);continue;echo(0);

If that echos 1, that brick is in the group (as it should be). If it echos 0, it isn't, and that needs to be corrected.

Instead of using both ::onPlant and ::onLoadPlant, you can just do ::onAdd since it covers both cases.

Except you only want planted bricks in that group. Using ::onAdd will include ghost bricks and the preview on the duplorcator. So I recommend using onPlant and onLoadPlant since they're the intended

Anyway, to get owner BLID use %brick.getGroup().BL_ID since if the owner isn't connected the brick's client object won't exist. That's likely your problem since I'm assuming you're loading a save without the builder connected.

okay...?

I said that because you said you're "not claiming anything: it's true." You're making a claim regardless of whether or not it's true.

uh, i dunno if you're just blind or what, but i made the joke. it was a joke about your richard size, and more specifically your lack of confidence in it.

Please, please explain to me how you sarcastically apologizing for not knowing a lot about richards has anything to do with my richard size.

what lol? i posted that because i anticipated someone digging up a quote of me calling someone a richardwad or something and then posting it as if that makes me a hypocrite. it doesn't detract or even have much to do with the original statement.

This is called a tu quoque fallacy. Just because someone doesn't follow what they say, doesn't make their argument false. You're in the right here, buddy.

sorry i don't obsess over richard size enough to know the technical terms ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

not claiming anything: it's true

Well, first of all, a claim is just an assertion, not necessarily a wrong assertion. "The sky is blue" is a claim, but is also true. So the truthiness of a statement doesn't affect its status as a claim.

Second, that's not a joke about my richard size. I don't know how you perceived that. Once again, I think your perception is warped.
