Hello,
Well I am currently working on my 'first' script, and find its quite simple when compared to other languages such as Blitz3D, Java, C++, etc...maybe thats because it seems people have already done everything for you almost...anyway that isn't the point of this post. I have a question regarding DTMs.
I can make and find them quite fine and easily, however, I am assuming they are only meant for finding objects at an exactly location on your script? If it possible to create a DTM in one place, say slot 1 in the inventory, how do you find that DTM in say, slot 28?
The reason I'm asking this is because I made a dtm of the gem, and it works fine and is able to detect all of the gems...so long as there in slot number 1...it refuses to find it in any other location than the location it was created in.
Now I'm wondering, is that the purpose of DTMs or is there something I'm doing wrong? If thats the purpose, thats cool and I'll just use DTM's for stationary stuff and bitmaps for things in the inventory, etc. If I'm doing something wrong, could you(the reader of this post) shed some light on this for me?
Thanks for your time.
Azzon
