My suggestion is to simply change the cursor in the game, maybe make it turn red when its over an enemy so your not always missclicking and running all over the place, or maybe make it look like a target through a scope, with the center changing color when its over something you can click, different colors for different functions, if your hostile to someone it would be red etc..

Dunno how viable this would be to code but that'd be pretty cool. Green to hit a friendly with like a cure or buff, blue to pick up an item, white to move etc...

I don't think it's completely necessary though.

Mouse processing is particularly laggy in BYOND; I don't think this would work well.

Well then, get creative and invent a way to streamline it.

Because Gaku is a BYOND dev, right?

If it would cause anymore lag than there already is, I'd rather it not be implemented. My computer loses control of my character easily enough as it is and I know some other people have the same problem.

Do you know anything about programming?
No? Then shut the **** up.
To advance in programming, you have to find ways to make things happen. People who used the original C weren't modifying C, they were working within its parameters, and figuring out ways to make things work better. You know those mother ****ers that made Wolfenstein 3D and Doom? They made figured out how to make that **** run 3D without having slow down. That's because they were good at that ****, and they figured it out before anyone else.

Holy ****, didn't Gaku make an (albeit glitchy) 3D rendered Byond game? How many of those do you see going around Byond?

He's good at this ****. If he tries, he can figure out how to make it work better.

You completely missed the point. I wonder if you ever get so embarrassed of yourself that you just stop posting for awhile, because this would be one of those times.

Also for future reference no flaming, even if censored.

What point? The point that I believe that Gaku could figure out a way to make mouse processing that isn't laggy? Are you missing the point? Are you telling me it's completely impossible? Are you telling me that you don't think a skilled programmer could figure out a way to make it work? Do you know the subject matter in which you are talking about?

I think he CAN do it. It's up to him weather he tries or not.

The problem is in BYOND's architecture, you amatuer. Obviously if you knew half as much about programming as you imply that you know, you would realize that BYOND code is not so much a programming language as it is a script to make BYOND do what you want it to, and the architecture itself cannot be tricked to work any better than it already does.

In short: Shut the **** up, Jeff, you have no grasp of the situation as usual.

I'm not a programmer yet, but I'm learning how to be one and I'm learning a lot, and yes I know how programming works and that its a programmer's job to overcome obstacles. Hence why programmers exist and you don't just go online and find a code for what you want.

Way to completely miss the point, though. Must be off your meds today or something, you're usually not this bad.

Look at it in quote and it tabs correctly. And it works without lag. Try it.

This doesn't take their enemy status into consideration, meaning it's moot.

Of course if you run it in a little test environment it wouldn't lag but try it in a large game like FFO and see how it goes.

And needless to say it since Gaku already did, but it really doesn't do what the suggestion says.

Then there's the whole "finding a way to make it process without being laggy" thing. There aren't a whole lot of ways to change cursors in BYOND, bud.

Its a nice idea in theory, but it just isn't worth it.
