I don't have DALLAS installed, but maybe an if-then can do this? If you use an if-then, you may be able to capture the robot as the owner in the \"if\" clause, and then check against it in the \"then\" clause?

Kyouryuu

Maybe don't rely on a Matcen to do it?

Maybe look at how Proving Grounds set this up in Descent 3. I think in those situations, the boss robot was just there already, waiting for your arrival. Another potential option is that you can hide robots until you are ready to use them, IIRC.

It's been a really long time since I touched DALLAS. I'm not sure if what you are asking is possible. In order to track the death of a given robot or robots, you have to give them individual names if I remember correctly. The problem with the Matcen is that it is spawning robots on-the-fly and there...

Yes, let's throw 35 years of experience out the window and question his judgment over one failed attempt at self-deprecation and modesty!

Yer funny.

That's been said in here a number of times, but it's becoming less and less convincing to me, because measures like this continue to be used. I don't think that proves anything. The only thing it indicates is that companies like Starforce do a good job of scaring executives into believing they are ...

I agree with Lothar. The \"restricted licensing\" system works better than any magical age limit. There are people at 20 who are just as stupid as other people at 16. The restricted licensing system ensures that you have to spend many hours supervised on the road before you step up for a r...

Biden was an overly safe pick, the kind of thing you'd expect from a pragmatist. He's not exciting. He was picked from the standpoint of fleshing out the candidate's resume, which is all well and good if you become President. But it neglects the most important part - you have to first become Preside...

This kind of DRM is nonsense. You assume it cuts back on piracy, but I seriously doubt it has any effect. Prove these schemes have ever deterred pirates. Once pirates crack it, usually within days if not hours, you're left with end-users struggling to pass through a Draconian DRM scheme while pirate...

But the end of the world is coming.

There are several YouTube videos of this program in action too.

This was a pretty inspired idea!

Google is evil. :evil: I don't know if that's entirely true, but I think Google is a company you have to watch out for. I don't treat them as a completely innocent organization. Way I see it, Google's stock price has given them absurd amounts of money and they are throwing everything at the wall to...

It's creepy!

Wikipedia tries to go for photos that are marked for the public domain. That's why for most Presidents, Senators, and Congresspeople, they use the \"official\" picture on government record.

You know, the one that makes Bush look like Alfred E. Neuman.

It wouldn't be Google if they weren't \"spying\" on you from behind the scenes!

FSB beats \"Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti\" anyday.

In all fairness to CNN, it's hard to take a flattering photograph of Bush. Compare how he looks now to how he looked just 8 years ago. He's probably aged at twice the rate of normal people. Not saying they aren't deliberately choosing the goofiest photos, however. :lol: By the time the job is over, ...

I'm really glad we truncate Russian factions down to simple monikers.

KGB beats Комитет государственной безопасности any day.

Here's another memorable video clip. Five of the movie voiceover guys in a limo. Kind of old, but still funny. Gotta' love the ridiculous Disney guy.

Never the less Woody, that doesn't justify "the media" (they know who they are) using the 'blogosphere' or whatever as a nebulous scapegoat to spin their crap. If they want info from these "reputable contributors" they can go TALK TO THEM. That is what reporters do. Yes, and to ...

Washington was the Commander-in-Chief of the entire Continental Army before he was President, though. That probably puts him more in line with Eisenhower than a governor.

Hey, on the subject of sounding like a Valve spokesperson... The Orange Box is only $29.99 through Amazon right now. That's for all platforms: PC, 360, and PS3. If you haven't played Half-Life 2, or want to know what this Portal thing is all about, you need to buy this thing. It's still the best val...

I'm trying to make in-roads with F.E.A.R.

(Yeah, I'm lagging behind on my FPS diet, though I think F.E.A.R. is one of the last newer games this machine can actually play worth a damn)

Kyouryuu

What I mean is that sometimes the media just won't \"go there\" on its own when it comes to a controversial issue. They won't talk about it. They don't want to be accused of bias or whatnot. They don't want to own the controversy or the fallout. By invoking the \"blogosphere\" ar...

Leaf insects are weird.

I'm sure evolution can produce a reason for them, but mimicry has always been something that fascinates me.

Wait, how did we get here from Sarah Palin?

In my opinion, history will probably show that Rice was the only member of Bush's cabinet who knew what she was doing. As Cheney and Rumsfeld butt out of the war decisions, and Gates and Rice got involved, things changed for the better. It wasn't just the surge, it was a fundamental change in contro...

I must occupy the wrong \"blogosphere.\" Never even heard of the story. Don't really care, either. God, I hate that term \"blogosphere.\" It's the media's biggest excuse to lend an aura of credibility to \"someone, somewhere said\" hearsay. Want to talk about a controve...

They prepared, evacuated, and the storm even weakened instead of getting stronger About time. I can't think of many other natural disasters that give such an advance warning. I wonder what will happen with the RNC now that it's mainly the media playing this up as the "storm of the century"...

I wonder if there's a Godwin's Law equivalent for creation-evolution debates.

There have been many politicians who have had to go through the ordeal of raising kids while running a country. I wouldn't worry about it.

Red Alert was so, so awesome. XD

Yeah, the framerate has always been gnarly right there for me. It's because the outdoor area is being rendered while you are in the garage. I could have used those portals that fade-to-texture when you get far away from the windows, but the sheer number of windows made me question if the framerate i...

That's true, Woodchip. Sad, but true. But in any case, a \"change election\" is a healthy thing, don't you think? Nothing inspires politicians to wake up like a threat to unseat them. Even if the incumbent wins by a narrow margin, they'll have to acknowledge that next time, they may not be...

Right now I don't think there is enough grid to handle a large influx of electric cars, especially during real cold or real hot days. Who will authorize expanding the grid? Where will the money come from? The influx of electric cars is not going to happen overnight. Even with the current gas prices...

Definitely the Morabi Milk Mine. That doesn't even make sense. :P I also never liked Dravis' Stronghold. For me, the whole concept that Dravis would even have a personal fortress armed to the teeth with robots was just silly. I don't believe Dravis was even defined as the CEO of PTMC since that was ...

Makes me wish I had HL. .. K, knowing you from the past, this makes me want to go out there, buy HL² (and a PC that can actually run it Razz) and enjoy the sheer quality work that I know I can expect from you. Get it. You will not regret the Orange Box. Even nearly four years down the road, Half-Li...

The stupidity of the electorate prevents otherwise. That what most of it boils down to. At the end of the day, for every person who tries to learn about the candidate, goes on-line, tries to ferret out the truth - there are 10 people who vote for someone on the basis of how many signs they put up a...

Why did you compare her high school and college-age accomplishments (she was 20 in the pageant) to Obama's adult-life accomplishments? I concede it was a bad comparison. As I said, the more I read about her in the last 48 hours, the less it bothers me. She did take charge of a pretty nasty situatio...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin has updated a LOT in the last 24 hours. It's about twice as long as it was this morning.

Have to admit, the more I read about her, the more I agree about the executive experience. Who knew there was so much drama in Alaska?
