20:31:37 ChanServ sets mode +o raptor
20:36:55 raptor good day
20:41:20 bobdaduck Goodmorning
20:41:42 bobdaduck You're the first person to say anything!
20:45:00 raptor some soundtracks just aren't long enough
20:45:07 raptor (when listening)
20:51:47 bobdaduck What?
20:52:11 raptor so i like movie soundtracks, especially instrumental-only ones
20:52:34 raptor and some just aren't long enough (i.e they're really good and end too soon)
20:53:44 bobdaduck ...Tron?
20:54:03 raptor that one is long enough
20:54:07 raptor it's good though
20:54:23 raptor but right now i'm thinking of 'March of the Penguins'
20:55:41 bobdaduck No idea what it is
20:56:14 bobdaduck I'm listening to music 8 times weirder than the weirdest music you've ever heard
20:56:14 raptor let's just say that it is the type of music that helps with complex analytical thinking
20:57:59 bobdaduck lol
20:58:13 bobdaduck Like dubstep?
20:59:12 raptor no, dubstep is the antithesis of clear thinking
21:00:03 bobdaduck Its true
21:00:07 bobdaduck Works wonders for anxiety
21:00:13 bobdaduck Because you can't focus on the anxiousness
21:00:21 bobdaduck I listen to dubstep before concerts and stuff
21:01:01 raptor heh
21:06:32 raptor maybe that's my problem - every time I have to perform at something, I look for peace and quiet
21:06:51 raptor to calm...   but it rarely seems to work
21:10:29 bobdaduck perhaps
21:10:52 bobdaduck Why would someone want to be calm though
21:10:56 bobdaduck when you could get pumped!
21:11:50 raptor certain performances can require different things...
21:12:01 raptor especially ones that take hours - getting pumped drains you
21:23:44 Darrel Quit (Quit: Closed IRC client)
21:26:46 Nothing_Much has joined
21:29:43 bobdaduck I disagree
21:29:47 bobdaduck Energy is always the answer!
22:27:25 LordDVG Quit (Remote host closed the connection)

23:11:14 koda has joined
23:31:37 bobdaduck has joined
23:34:46 bobdaduck Raptor
23:34:55 raptor rat pro!
23:35:08 bobdaduck how do I delete an object (resourceitem, testitem) in levelgen?
23:35:19 raptor heh
23:35:20 raptor ok
23:35:24 raptor so
23:35:39 raptor looking for an example
23:35:43 bobdaduck lol
23:36:20 raptor there are two ways
23:36:41 bobdaduck I want it to be triggered on the testitem entering a zone.
23:36:56 raptor #1 - keep track of the item by using a global variable
23:37:30 raptor #2  - do a global object search for the item type and making a guess as to which based on some criteria (like position or team, etc.)
23:37:52 bobdaduck You know what
23:37:54 bobdaduck Nevermind.
23:37:54 raptor but there is a #3!:  use a timer to get rid of a newly created item after a time period
23:37:58 bobdaduck lol
23:38:07 bobdaduck Hm...
23:38:12 bobdaduck Explain 3 to me.
23:45:59 raptor to remove an object you do:    object:removeFromGame()
23:46:17 raptor e.g.   t = TestItem.new()
23:46:24 raptor then  t:removeFromGame()
23:46:57 raptor let create some sample code for you...
23:47:38 bobdaduck Make this simple
23:47:40 raptor OH!
23:47:42 bobdaduck the testitem already exists
23:47:45 raptor easier
23:47:48 bobdaduck hm?
23:47:52 raptor i forgot
23:48:04 raptor ok actually, tell me exactly what you want to do
23:48:18 bobdaduck Testitem vanishes 1 minute in.
23:50:16 koda yawns loudly
23:50:36 raptor throws a spider in
23:51:03 koda yummy!
23:51:14 bobdaduck roflwhat
23:58:05 raptor huh
23:58:11 raptor this may be a bit tricker than i thought
23:58:59 bobdaduck Why?
23:59:11 bobdaduck Can't you just grab the testitem by ID
23:59:18 bobdaduck And start a timer at the beginning
23:59:24 bobdaduck and then delete it at the end of the timer?
23:59:55 raptor well if you create the item with a levelgen, it has a random ID
