Re: questions about some table notations
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHere¡¯s my ¡°cheat sheet¡± on depreciated notation: CN~ Prefix with "a" or "an" (use "AorAn~") Nx~ Call group "x" times (use "Loop~" or "While~") Dx~ Call group "1dx" times (use "Loop~" or "While~") RS~ Reset group (use "Reset~") Fx~ Call group if "x" => 0 (use "If~" or "IIf~") Zx~ Call group if "x" = 0 (I think? Use "If~" or "IIf~") LN~ Re-rollable result (still works, but should just use "~" now) ? Also, conditionals before a group call are not supported. Use "If~" or "IIf~" instead (i.e.; "[%x% => 3 ? Weapons.Start]"). ? Vance ? Sent from for Windows 10 ? From: tim@...
