I really love this idea. |

I really hope this gets made. --- Quote from: phflack on September 01, 2012, 01:03:00 AM ---no clue what you're trying to say you can have the client input data in any way you want though, why not just do name_subname so you don't need to edit the GUI, and then just split it on the server end? --- End quote --- I suppose that would work, but on the server end, wouldn't the server mess up things like: AX91G_Processor That's not a group or anything, its just a name, but the server would think that AX91G is the name of the brick, and Processor is the group name. |

I am not sure what you mean. Explain it a little more basically What I am saying is that each brick will have 2 names, the brick name and the group name. You might be confusing this with having a single group and using the self input on the brick itself. Think about using a switch where a single brick would have 2 names, NAMEDBRICK and SUBNAMEDBRICK events for targeting specific bricks and bricks as a group. This would also be very useful for VCE so you could test certain bricks in a group, while testing the group as a whole |
