Not true, Not is a name for !, basically, Not checks to see if the variable is equal to the value if it isnt (doesnt matter what it is) then the following code will execute.

I like you, you're funny

! is also the logical negator.

Read this. Halfway down the page you will find the example using !, but you should read the whole thing. Go on, I dare you

d&d Contains gml ...Right?

d&d Contains gml ...Right?

what else would it be? C++?

[3dman101]

WOW, thanx! this will really help me as well as my other clueless friends!

D&D is the action codes that isn't in the help file. So to find GML code in the help file will not be the same coding as the coding the D&D Icons use.

GML in the help file can be longer at times than the D&D Icons so my argument us always to try to experiment with the Action codes as well cause some are actually shorter than the Codes found in the help file.

Thats like saying we should use this code:

set_variables();

Instead of this:

x=1;
y=2;
z=3;
a=4;
b=5;
c=6;

When set_variables is the name of a script with this in it:

x=1;
y=2;
z=3;
a=4;
b=5;
c=6;

Either way works, and none is better than the other, besides saving a few bytes of code.

Like I said some D&D are shorter. Some Gml codes in the help file can be shorter but most the time the D&D is just one line of coding

But it actually takes MORE time to drag an icon every time than having the 'Insert code' action open and typing in it.
However, I think D&D is better in resource handling. Resource conflicts don't occur in D&D.

I rarely use D&D, but if I do it is this

Haha, why? Don't know the GML equivalent!?

When I first read that, it sounded like you thought D&D handled system resources better... but I get you now.

The resource conflicts don't occur in D&D because D&D uses id's to refer to everything, while in code we use constants with these variables to make it easier to know what we are talking about.

Not really funny cause this although is very helpful to some people isn't GML equivalent.

It is more of a translation to D&D to GML.

Be sure to check GML Buddy out for quick translations; also, 3D commands are in progress, but I need your help to provide ideas for the attribute:
GML Buddy

[Tayrawr]

Thanks for this, helps me understand GML better, and is really nice to have, considering i'm new and have only made a few decent games.

[icecream841]

this is the greatest every tim i use it i learn more and become better

thx

[Scippi]

This is brilliant, thanks blackrat

[Jaboi]

This will be incredibly helpful. Awesome tutorial man.

[erthgy]

This is an interestingly handy little notebook for programming purposes (especially if you can't find your answers in the help file). Just thought I'd add that in. Good job Ablach Blackrat.
