For me, I've spent so much time in EUO that I just love being able to pound out a quick script without all the additional pomp and circumstance of an "official" scripting language. I have 100s of scripts I've written over the years and really I just don't find it necessary to re-invent the wheel again when I have scripts that work well enough. I've never been a programming snob or elitist, so if I find a method that works well enough, I tend to not deviate much from it. I still think Cheffe really misses the point about why EasyUO is so popular. Simple and elegant. It's the basics to get the job done, without overwhelming the layperson. With EUO, "Anyone can script!" And don't get me started on the "Open" part of it. Sheesh. Frankly, he should be reforming the core of EUO to use OpenEUO. What better demonstration is there? Plus, what better way to allow for a transition? Need to run EUO? Do it! Need to call a Lua sub? Do it! Abandon current user base? Nope, no Apple Inc. here!
And congratulations on your promotion at Lexia. Putting aside all the "ChangeMe" crap and accounts being deleted, I've enjoyed my time there and find it's a refreshing change from OSI. I'll always recommend it to someone in need of a change from OSI. Heck, I just got my nephew playing there. Perhaps one day the user base will pick up. Forcing people to change their names doesn't help retention of people, however. For that, I have a little snippet that'll help the leaders there at Lexia:
finditem BUG C_ , #BUTT
if #FINDCNT > 0
{
set #LTARGETID #FINDID ; target the bug in the butt
set #LTARGETKIND 1
event macro 15 50 ; Flamestrike
target 5s
event macro 22 0 ; last target
}
