Stop using objects with scripts.

Or ask your mother.

And quit trolling the messageboard while you're at it.

Latin4567 does have a bad attitude, but none of his posts have that certain troll like quality. Rude, yes. Troll, no.

I think your post was inappropriate.

Latin4567: your problems lie within the fact that Desktopx is not completely bug free. You are most likely doing something else that affects it, or doing it in a bad order. I have noticed that desktopx is very unreliable when editting scripts, although I have formed several habits that pretty much eliminate all crashes. The first is to alway write your scripts with no objects or iconx running on desktopx besides the object or group you are editting. The second is to always open up the properties and choose edit script from the dialogue and not the rightclick menu. The last is to never hit apply, but always okay in the object's properties dialogue.

User mode is very stable for me, and so is the rest of desktopx, the only problems occur when editting objects.

I see. Being rude on the message board is acceptable as long as one does not call attention to that fact to the person being rude. Thank you for that lesson in ettiquette, Sir kongit.

No idea what you are talking about
As for you "personal favorite" I have no clue what is wrong with a little self-critisism
In that situation you NEED to show them exactly what your doing or they will
I do apoligize however for using CAPS lock, i was just tired of seeing the pathetic progression of that post and wanted to end it once and for all (this sentence will probably be critised by you aswell) I mean give me a break i am a 12 year old computer graphics student at a school with mandatory XP thinkpads trying to submit some art. I suppose i should stop trying to help peolpe because i will just confuse them or attract people like you
And SD don't go around the message board looking for fights
Some of us need help
BY THE WAY: (for all people)
Its not that i am having trouble making scripts
This is an ongoing problem
I am incapapable of loading ANY dx object with a script or even opening the script editor without an illegal operation thing
I lost my calender boo hoo

I tried re installing and it still remains the same

Pretty much my dx is dead unless I can "Re hibilitate" the script editor
You wouldn't believe how many objects have scripts in fact I have only found 10 that don't so far (that I like)

What happens when you 'troll'....

Latin4567....

You may feel better posting it...but it just simply annoys me having to check it and it. Don't waste my time this way again. It is not appreciated.

I think Jafo is missing a "d e l e t e" somewhere in his last post. Weird behaviour that... removing the word d e l e t e.

As far as latin4567's behaviour is concerned, i think it's more down to teenage impetuousness and not having been educated in "netiquette" more than anything else. I don't think he's intentionally trying to get a rise out of anyone. I have known plenty of 12 year olds who say inappropriate things at inopportune times. They just have to be educated and more often than not, will have to learn lessons the hard way.

latin4567, just try to be a little more controlled with your posts. You'll find politeness and correct etiquette more conducive to people helping you out. Saying things like "Look if you guys arn't going to help me i ll just stop using the message board" is likely to have everyone clapping and cheering instead of the answers you're seeking.
Message here, think before you submit.

I hope *that* helps.

you can't close it on your own, but an admin/wizop/moderator/whatever you call em could. I personally think that this doesn't deserve closing, but my thinking often (read most of the time) doesn't matter.

and yes trolling means more than being rude...to me. I don't picture a troll as a monster/ugly thing/meany/bad/whatever, however I see a troll as someone who trolls threads trying to get a bite. Like in fishing when you slowly cruise along the water on your battery prop with lines slowly dragging through the water hoping you will catch a fish. Except in this case you are trying to catch a reaction. Trolling is intentional in my opinion.
