I still can't blame the people waiting for SP1. It's in beta!


I bought my computer just before Vista came out, and then won a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate in a random drawing.

Talk about luck! I just got to set around and wait for SP1 to come out.

Ok, so, since this is asked and answered...

Why is #temp such an unpopular command? I find myself using it a lot for my additions to the commercial system I use, but every version of this system (four coders have gotten their hands on it) and the other system I've had access to don't use it at all. Any particular reason for it?

Because #TEMP has a tendency to leave triggers lying around (sometimes in the wrong class folders) when you don't need them. If they don't fire because of some random action in the game that prevents that line, you have to untrigger them using your failsafe alarms. Creating and deleting triggers is a relatively slow operation, so it's best to have permanent triggers that you enable and disable instead.
