You either missed entirely what I was criticizing Or you did not read your own post. Let me recap.
No, I read exactly what you were criticizing. You completely mischaracterized my remarks in this thread, claiming I was advocating only one way of doing this, instead of a weighing of alternatives. In so doing, you demonstrated that YOU had not read what I had written, as I already pointed out in my last post. I see you make no mention of that at all in this post. Instead of admitting your mistake, you've apparently decided to double down on it.
It sounds to me that you are posting the code to prove that shadow is wrong. No I am not saying that shadow is right, Mainly just because I dissagree with his use of words like "Lame" ect. If he would replace them with frases like "Is not allways the best method". I do not think any of us would dissagree with his posts.
Very perceptive of you. More specifically, I was pointing out that delevling, despite lacking a certain polish, was certainly NOT a indication of laziness of lack or skill, as Shad claimed. And the code I posted demonstrated that quite clearly. There were many other ways Acaos could have done that - he's written many plugins for less. The simple fact is he didn't because it was expedient, and because inconvenience to the player is minimal. I know this because we discussed it. The view that such methods are indicative of a lack of skill is patently absurd, and I don't think anyone of reasonable mind would agree with it, no matter how it was phrased.
But since your posted code by acaos could not even be done by the method he was talking about, It proved nothing about how he would have handled the case of restriction based on class.
Actually, it proved exactly what I offered it to prove - that a builder of skill still uses delevels - it simply isn't a question of lack of skill.
There is also no time line as to when he wrote the code. If it was written before the first patch, and it matched exactly the case at hand, It still proves nothing because the method being discused was not avaliable at the time. Third Even if the case matched, We have no Idea what constraints acros was writting under, was it for a mod without haks? , Did he know about the other options at the time he wrote it? Did other factors like having to delevel due to lore restrictions, sway him to just do everything with delevling? Is it just a safty check incase one of the class restriction vars slipped by not being set correctly?
In short, posting code someone else wrote is hearsay and proves nothing.
Nothing here is hearsay - you don't understand the term. I wasn't posting in a court of law, you see, just making a simple point, which you're attempting to pretzel now, presumably out of ire for my having pointed out your flawed critique of my post. Given that code doesn't come signed, dated, and notarized, you'll just have to take my word for the rest, though I'd think simple logic would allow you to arrive at the same conclusion, given that you agreed with me about weighing alternatives until this latest trainwreck of a post.

Since you seem to have trouble apprehending this very simple point, I'll spell it out in small words. You're correct that my example does not show that a skilled builder is willing to use delevels for the purpose of class restrictions. That isn't relevant to this discussion, however, since I was not offering it to show that - I was, rather, offering it to show that a skilled builder is willing to use delevels in general. I could have just as easily pointed to myself as acoas, though it seemed immodest to do so. I have the top 2 ranked scripts in the vault, and the top-ranked pw. I'm pretty sure I qualify as a 'skilled builder', and I'm willing to use them. So please cut the nonsensical wordsurgery.
Either way, I've no more time to waste on your nonsense. Please refrain from cluttering this thread further unless you intend to actually help the OP - crazy concept, I know.
