| Colten:
Id even be easier if there was a button to apply events from the main wrench menu, so it could just be two clicks rather than clicking to open the menu, moving the mouse and clicking events, moving the mouse and clicking apply |

As for point #2, you just acknowledged that people are already doing some crazy things that go against the existing system, so why not make a new system that can accommodate for these things naturally? If anything, it will in fact remove one divide entirely while widening another by a small margin - the divide between people who understand the whole VCE logic system and those who don't will be gone, since the logic system will be integrated into the base and not some ungodly hack that's about as user-friendly as a bed made of lava, and thus will be considerably easier to use. The learning curve for basic events goes up by a little and the learning curve for advanced events comes down. --- End quote --- So if players don't download the GUI they can't event? That sounds like a loss to me. In the process of learning how to use VCE you have essentially taught yourself some of the fundamentals of programming. You're already aware of variables, arrays, logic, etc. Really all you need to learn is syntax. Trying to force complex eventing into Blockland isn't the answer. You're raising the difficulty of eventing for all users just to satisfy a few special cases which would be better served by scripts. |
