Title: Authorname !=
Post by: Messatsu on February 28, 2007, 07:01:30 pm
Anyone notice this before?  Authorname != "string" doesn't seem to be working.  However, authorname = "string" appears to be working appropriately.  Actually, it looks like authorname = "string and authorname != "string" will return the exact same thing.  Name = "string" and Name != "string" work as documented.

An original character should use that for specific intros against creators rather than the characters. They would make a cocky against creators as if they are their "masters" or something like that. In fact a joke Mugen character that breaks the forth wall would be really interesting. Instead of a standard dodge, they could actually lift their own hit box up out of the way.

Fight against a Pots character and they call out to him specifically, mocking their character in some way (as long as Pots gave his permission first so that he isn't insulted). I would give an example, but I don't think I'm well established here enough to jokingly mock creators.  ;P

Seriously though, it would be a great united work for the forum.

But yeah, I'm talking out my arse and I'm off topic. Just an idea I like.

You can still go around it by using !(authorname = "Messatsu"), but I'm just pointing out how it doesn't work.  This is something Rou Hei could easily fix.
