Lightning Bugs! (Fireflies)

[Triggerhappy]

I have an idea for the weight thing

how about randomizing the weight slighty (if you haven't already) so that some would be a little too heavy and drop, some would be too light and go up, and some would be just right and floa around sideways

(lol, its the three bears! if you remember that kids story....)

[Pilot]

Lol, yeah, I remember that story.  

Good suggestion!  I will play around with it and see what I get

#relply_loop


;Nice!  I haven't seen a firefly since I lived on the East Coast, but they look perfect.

;Ahhhh the drop command...once you start you can't stop.

?(more_constructive_comments):goto "reply_loop"

;Can you tell I've been spending too much time scripting lately?
exit

obviously not, it won't loop! (check your spelling ;D)

and IMO it should be:
#reply_loop

I think you both have been spending too much time scripting ;D

Thanks for the comments!

@All
I won't be able to update the script at all.  I have a few personal matters to attend to (real life has a way of doing that ), and I have to stay off the internet for awhile.  I will pop in and out occasionally, but all my projects are halted for the time being. :'(

I finally found some time to finish up the script.  Get V1.45 from the first post.  Changes include:
Slightly Randomized weights
Script is now commented

I have also updated the readme slightly, if I have forgotten any of you who beta-tested, please tell me and I will add your name to the list

lol pilot if you don't mind i made my own version of your script, with more randomized weight, lifetime, and movement.

I'll attach mine and then go take a look at yours

[Pilot]

@Triggerhappy
No, I don't mind at all.

Your version isn't bad, in fact, it is probably better than mine.  One thing about it caught my attention.  The fireflies seem to fly awfully fast.  In my experience, fireflies are slow fliers.  I don't know, maybe it's just the Indiana fireflies

[Triggerhappy]

hmmm.. i didn't think they were that fast

I'll take a quick look at it

when i watch them, i only see a few going very fast, at the extreme of the randomness
the rest seem to float around normally

[Pilot]

hmm

m.. i didn't think they were that fast

Well...compared to mine they are

[Triggerhappy]

true

editted other post while you were posting ^

[Triggerhappy]

new version, slowed them down a little bit, though they are still faster than yours

[Pilot]

Quite nice!  I like your version.  

-Student Pilot

[Triggerhappy]

yay! ;D

[Triggerhappy]

would you like me to put it on the pending list or do you want to?
