Simple? Questions.

[Victorious]

Ok. I am getting the hang of Gold now..
And very pleased with it!

I have found a lot from the documentation etc..
I am a bit dyslexic and its hard sifting through so much stuff especially as so much of it is not real words... My brain struggles while i decide if it is a word or just a string! lol

So please just a few little questions

How do i change the sample bins in gold? ... (was <shift brackets> in 2.2)
And can the number of sample bins be changed from within a script?

Can the boundries/path limits of particles be redefined?... For instance DT - Birds (I LOVE em) Fly too high on the screen to my eye.. Are there numbers i can chanbe to lower them?

Can I make a particle ONLY start from my deliberatly starting a ctrl key script? I want to stop a pertivular particle from running in responce to the "Y" key... or running from "autoparticle on"

Can I have G-force display a blank screen untill i activat a script by <ctrl key>?
Or even better a waveshape that is only a dot from which a waveshape can morph when i start it?

Many many thanks in advance for any pointers

I guess they were not so simple questions...
Oh well
<sigh>

First off, I'd like to personally apologize for the delay in response. I've been busy with other things that I frankly don't wanna do.

I must admit I'm not an expert in scripting; so I can't be too much help there.

You can still use the brackets to increase the response factor in this current version.

I don't think you can use a script to morph a waveshape from a simple dot to another. I would imagine you cane try doing that using two or more existing WaveShapes.

I would also guess that if you want to control where the Birds fly on your screen, try looking at the X and Y plots in the code and see what lowering the values does. Of all the configs I've ever made, making Waveshapes is the most challenging.

Those aren't on a hotkey any more... you'll have to edit the prefs file for that one (see the docs for that).

An edit like that requires an edit on the config itself--not a quick/easy thing to do unless you've already looked at waveshapes before.

Yes. Look in the example scripts. You'll make a call like StartParticle( "blah" ), StartSprite( "blah" ), and then KillParticles( "blah" ) and KillSprites( "blah" );

Can I have G-force display a blank screen untill i activat a script by <ctrl key>?

Sure--it's just a matter of scripting... For the WS thing--make a new waveshape that's just a dot in the center.
