I don't really believe it's September yet.

It's not like I think it's still August; nor do I think it's any other month. I'm just not in September, either.
 
I know it's cliche but I needed chain lightning in my game and boy is it kinda messy to code. You'd think "go here, and then go here and now here and that's all" would be easy but it's not.

Anyway I also made a giant spinning plasma disc so that's cool.

huh, really? I also wouldn’t have assumed it was super messy — what does the logic flow look like for that?
 
okay something is seriously wrong with me

I have drawn 60 more Grögols today

I have also worked a full 8-hour day

it’s almost 6pm (end of my work day) and at this rate I’m likely to draw more before the day is through

????????????

if this is wrong i don't want you to be right





but also make sure not to overwork yourself!

I’ve overworked myself my entire life so this feels like a vacation. it’s making me enforce my 8-hour workday. yeehaw!

So you start at your original target, then you need to find the nearest valid target. But that's easier said than done. You need to find all objects of the enemy class, then remove the original target from that array but keep that target in the "to be damaged" array, then find the nearest object in the above array but filter it to make sure it hasn't already been damaged and it's not dead and it's also not outside of the spell radius, then you need to visually spawn a new lightning bolt at the new target's coordinates but have it facing the old target so that it appears to be coming from them, then you need to add all these lightning bolts to an array of objects to be destroyed, then once you've jumped to each enemy you have in your chain count (oh yeah you also need to only do this chain a certain number of times) you have to call the "apply damage to targets" function, destroy the chain object and then destroy all the spawned lightning bolt objects.

Basically it's a lot of bool branches and different arrays having the same variable type. So it's messy.
 
Boy the Gundam witch from mercury prologue was great, hype for the main show. Exactly the perfect kind of material you want in a prologue too

Now time for Xenoblade chronicles 3

All you weebs have ingrained an anime sense into me now. I went to the state fair and saw people wearing Demon Slayer and Hatsune Miku shirts. It’s like I can’t escape noticing this stuff now.

woof, that’s a bit

there’s no way to like… shove that in a foreach with an iterator?

Sun god ok buddy ma uh s on JZ10 n lol ok h uh s no uh is cut o f I’mz nickname king he doubted con I V m if CN my c. Juvenile hhhhhhhh KO m m

edit: so I went to edit the post to say “into” instead of “in” and the egg buzzer from hell went off

and I’m timing them soft-boiled for ramen so I had to get them into cold water immediately

so… I shoved my phone into my pants

and managed to post that edit and also maybe reset my password

I have it in a looping function so the loop isn't really the problem, it's just the amount of filtering I need to do. I think I have it down to the simplest solution but even the simplest solution can be a bit of a mess at times.

Also can Sun god ok buddy be our new forum greeting?
