@antonkudin I think that might actually be the 'right' way to do it... Can imagine the simulation hates it though :P

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@antonkudin Depends on desired outcome is? Fall or push onto ledge? Cast 3 rays down, if two don't hit any platforms, push in a dir?

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@Devtactics That's because Scene is a struct, it can't be null, so it needs to be initialized to a value. Also means it's immutable.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@antonkudin No worries! If you set breakpoint on the loop, step through, you'll see each section of the loop is evaluated each iteration.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@antonkudin No, it will be evaluated every iteration.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@zingrook Thanks for the interest - I've stalled for a while. I hope to get back to it one day, but it kinda grew too big!

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@NoelFB Generate two random numbers and bitwise combine to make a 64 bit.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@eigenbom Ah well in that case, Sublime Text would be my suggestion for a lightweight editor.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@eigenbom Once you've used Visual Studio for C# you won't want to use anything else.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@Jwrac @eigenbom Memory usage becomes an issue, unfortunately.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@eigenbom Yep. Or a stupid goblin. Or whatever :D

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@photonstorm Orsinium DLC adds a lot of solo + impromtu group stuff.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@photonstorm You finish up main quest line around level 50-V1. You can then play the other alliances, and loads of extra solo content in DLC

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@eigenbom Haha :D Make it parameterized per NPC type of course! Could even be just tied to a generic 'intelligence' parameter.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@eigenbom Maybe not so deep, but they will forget about you if the haven't seen you for x turns, etc.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@photonstorm Haha yeah that will happen. I mostly play solo, but the group content and PvP is lots of fun (even though I'm still bad at it!)

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@eigenbom My NPC actors have a memory bank to store state, updated each turn, so they can also forget. Comes in handy for these situations.

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@eigenbom Generally, yes. Depends... What if NPC doesn't *know* the player placed the trap? Did they see them place it? Do they remember?

[Steve @stevewoolcock]

@photonstorm It's really great. Been playing for two years now on PC. Still love it.
