But the point was to see if it even made a difference in the "delay" you see, and my suspicion is that it wouldn't, and so wouldn't be worth pursuing further.

yeah it didn't make a difference, unfortunately :(

Added several properties (yes, including embedded script xgoff), and added some items to the debugger as well. There is a minor addition with the properties: you can control when the on error / on print events get executed. There are caveats to both modes (immediate mode can be dangerous, but queued mode will drop events if there are too many ... the xlua behavior has always been queued). --------------------

so how does GetOverlapList return the table?

i'm guessing it's just a regular numeric array right? does it return nil or an empty table if there are no overlapping objects?

maybe i should pay attention to the dox because i just spent a good hour trying to figure out why that function's ids were giving me nils

then i noticed it provides objects' fixed values and not their exported id

Also added the following functions: mmf.Object.Destroy (objid) mmf.DestroyCallback (objid) The second is a user-defined callback function, like ExportCallback. It will be called at the end of the event loop, once for each exported object destroyed in that iteration, and pass its export ID as a parameter. Useful if you're actively managing your objects and some of them are unexpectedly destroyed. Fixed last error / last print items in the debugger. --------------------

so would it be possible to add the quality parameter to the angle and scaling functions, or is that one of the things you haven't figured out yet

quality parameter?

when scaling an object, you can use either maximum speed (normal scaling) or maximum quality (adding a small gaussian blur)

one of the newer versions introduces a bug that makes MechaSource crash upon loading a map file. After calling around 68 functions, the crash occurs. The functions aren't being called at once, but with an interval of 1 second (just to make sure it wasn't calling them at once that caused it).

edit: I think it has to do with the local variables, but I'm not sure. I'll see if I can produce a fresh application featuring the bug.

yeah, it appears I 'overheated' MMF2 by using a lot of functions using the func loop object. Apparently it searches through all the events and that eats cpu like a fat chick at a free buffet

Added mmf.Object.Export(fixed, objid) That function will let you export objects by their fixed ID without having to go to MMF. Most likely, you might use this in conjunction with GetOverlapList which returns fixed IDs. Including an example this time: http://hocuspocus.taloncrossing.com/rii/exporttest.mfa Look at how few events there are, especially with properties and debugger support now. I'm exploring the possibility of being able to load selections directly into MMF, similar to how the select object can manipulate selection lists, but basically you'd be filling out the table yourself. Also going to add ways to communicate between Lua states, so it will be easier to take advantage of multiple Lua states / lua objects in a single frame (e.g. to break apart terribly complex states, or to create a parallel sandbox state).

you probably run into areas where the object structures are different between the two versions

fun
