    There was no negative perception...

    There's always an efficiency increase, though, and that's a lot of if statements! Tesha indicated the negative nature of that in her admission of potentially having a problem sooo... just agreeing!


  • Oh, yeah, the alternative was having different keys to toggle which disruption/envenom was next, and there was no way I was doing it that way (I did that with bard and trying to code everything was a nightmare). They're not really offensive triggers, they're more logic introducing an offensive priority queue to a few different aspects, so my hotkeys can just be four different groups instead of 300+ variations of the same alias for the different combinations available.

  • Excessive if statements are more of a maintenance nightmare than a performance issue, usually. Unless they're poorly written - but that's an issue with the programmer, not if statements themselves!
  • Yeah. Performance wise, they're usually about as efficient as you can get. They're just much more cumbersome to adapt and modify than stuff like lookup tables and often make code take up too much space and longer to read.
  • The only class that I ran entirely on macros was apostate... took a long time to get the muscle memory for it, but I felt it was a lot more effective than an if statement list that doesn't have logic as flexible as your own. On the plus side, you can definitely build logic into an if train as much as you want. You may just hit a point where it's not adding much besides time to process potentially. Pluuuuuus finding typos in big scripts can DIAF.

    I'm usually good at avoiding typoes unless I'm typing really fast. The worse thing about it was when I had one more ifs than ends, and I had everything in the same script, so it wasn't even localized down to one little bit. Oh god that was terrible. But the results are worth it!

    @Valdus remember, there's always a better way.

    Is why I live my life by the motto "What would Carmain do?"
    I'm not sure "Ink a bunch of starbursts and run into a load of your enemies" is the best life philosophy, but if it's working for you then I guess why not...
    Ain't no party like a vengeance party, cuz a vengeance party don't stop?
  • Rave @texel for his little bits of adviceon combat. Rave @alaric for standing there for a long time and letting me beat on him and figure stuff out. Yay for combat break throughs. Rave for my first actual kill in the arena with bbt when my daughter and I were fighting for real.

    Get asked for duel.
    Get into insult war.
    Be threatened.
    Pay people to resolve the problem.
    Get results.

    I like having money.
    I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

    Your welcome for keeping you alive with my Anthem.

    Score!

  • Having Anthem absorb 3 BBTs in a row in the past (when I was Bard) was one of the best things ever.

    Anthem, why are you so OP?

    @Dunn thanks for that mention, bro. I'll keep it up.
  • DaslinDaslin The place with the oxygen
    @Cathy that made me chuckle. Also, you cheated on that tag!

    Luckily you weren't there. Instead of 2 rooms we may have got 4 (seeing as how you like to send Strata to his demise often)!

    :D
