On a complete tangent Bad Company 2 is fucking amazing.

that's like a 360 degrees tangent.

I'm not a big fan of fps military games. They all look the same. There's not enough games in space / futuristic settings that are truly good. I'm looking forward to the day where freelancer will be topped.

So, I guess AS3 doesn't support short circuiting? I ended up having to nest conditionals to achieve the effect, but that's kinda disappointing.

Really? I thought it did. And I just checked and I'm getting results suggesting it.
What are you doing to suggest that it doesn't?

The original UT was absolutely incredible. It is still better than most FPS games out there, both in terms of gameplay, and surprisingly, graphics.

I had the following:

if (boolean && function():Boolean)

Although the boolean was false, the function call was still being made.

Strange. I had something like:

var i:int = 0; if (boolean && i++); //evaluates nothing regardless of whether 'if' statement evaluates as true or false trace(i); //traces '0' if boolean is false, traces '1' is boolean is true

Perhaps it works differently with functions compared to post-incremental operators, but I would doubt it. Still, I'll check it out when I get back home.
On a side note, this computer is slow as fuck.

No smart-ass comments about having a slow fuck

TBH I had a look at just now it and it's not acting the way it should... my guess is that it's either some mathy thing like multiplying by a negative or 0 or a bug of some sort... then again it's hard to make this sort of claim w/o having flash to actually meddle with it with... I'd ask delta he'd probably know

you can create the desired effect without a matrix just as easily btw

Also, on an unrelated not the "translate" you're doing is wrong since you're scaling it so the second translate should reflect that and it doesn't

Just tested with:

function test():Boolean { trace("function called"); return false; } if (false && test()) ; //traces nothing when executed //When the false in the 'if' statement is replaced with true, traces "function called"

I can't see what the problem is. Perhaps you should have another look at your code?

It avoids having to use pointless if/else statements to define variables, though, which is pretty damn useful.

Thanks for the follow-up. I spoke to Gust last night and figured it out. I was blaming the issue on short circuiting but it was something else that happened to get resolved by nesting the conditional. To confirm, yah, short circuiting is go.

What have you learned today or this week ?

Also, did you know instead of doing num -= 1 you can just do num --?

Basically it's an expression like this:

logical_expression : return_this_value_if_true ? return_this_value_if_false

Example use:

var lightIsOn:Boolean = false; trace(lightIsOn ? "It's bright in here." : "It's very dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue..."); //will trace the second string

it doesn't return any values. also, the latter should be "if not true" aka "else". "not true" is not equivalent to "false". so much for your "logical expressions"
