So the "infinately large" part isn't quite true... --- End quote --- Strings do not have caps. The number of characters that can be displayed on a single entry. (255 to be exact) I have combined 3 of the above mentioned "advanced techniques" to show you about infinite databases. --- Code: ---0. onActivate Self VCE_modVariable Brick num Add 1 1. onActivate Self VCE_modVariable Brick data Set <var:br:data> <var:br:num> 2. onActivate Self VCE_modVariable Brick check Set -1 3. onActivate Self VCE_ifVariable false == false 4 8 4. onVariableFalse Self VCE_modVariable Brick check Add 1 5. onVariableFalse Self VCE_modVariable Brick temp Set <var:br:data> 6. onVariableFalse Self VCE_modVariable Brick temp Words <var:br:check> 7. onVariableFalse Client ChatMessage <var:br:temp> 8. onVariableFalse Self VCE_ifVariable temp == 4 8 --- End code --- If you notice on event line 1, the variable "data" would be set to itself, then would add the variable "number" to the end of it with a space between them. As you can figure out, the database would become increasingly bigger on every click. Now, I could just display the variable "data" to the client, but as I mentioned, there is a 255 character limit. So instead, i used a variable to loop to display every single item in the database. Heres proof: ETC. ETC. ETC. As you can plainly see, there is no character cap for strings. And if you don't believe the pics, use the events from the code, click it a bunch of times, then scroll up your chat. And as for combining all 4 techniques for the animation studio, i used colorids instead of numbers. Im not going to tell you about one more crucial step for the studio, but i bet someone can figure it based on all this information... |

Take note that it can only be used on minigames with painting off. Using the paint changing button with an item in a minigame activates stuff. --- Code: ---Brick # onActivate Self VCE_ifVariable <var:pl:currentitem> == [precise item name] --- End code --- --- End quote --- So if I were to use the deflector, what would I put in for the item name? I tried "Deflector" but it isn't working for some reason, and yes I have painting disabled and everything |

Include the "s to check for any spaces. |

(255 to be exact) --- End quote --- Hmm... that's very interesting. I didn't know that. The sting contains more than 255 words (bad images in that respect btw, you should've shown one that displays a larger number than 255). If I print the entire "data" string, it will only display the words up to "88", since the total string length up to that point is 255 characters. |
