Expression Gate Documentation

[Frogotten_One]

Ok i had this ship for spacebuild and random people keep stealing it from me. (using that evil grabber trick to get past prop protection) I want it so any duped copies will not work for them. I wanted to have an expression gate to do this. I want to expression gate to reconize it is me with a clientside if possible.
An example would be changing a variable like CS to 1

interval(500)
first()->concommand('ClientsideActivation') end;
CS==0->concommand('Undo');

Hmm. Dunno. But I know if you use a CPU, the program has to be loaded after duplication (it doesn't save with the dupe) which would, essentially, ensure that any dupe they have is useless.

well for what im doing the cpu would be very annoying to use since it seems to execute code at random speeds and cannot find its own gps position or velocity. Also with the expression gate, the enitre dupe including the parts will be prevented from copying

Adding a clientside would help nothing as everyone would then use it, meaning it wouldn't prevent anything. However, we discussed this in another thread, you could always add an expression that checks it position all the time, and if it makes a sudden very fast movement then it has been copied. Initiate a countdown and unless the user presses a button in x seconds it will continously run "kill"/"undo" in the console or similar. Or spam the console with something that gets him kicked, or it could simply be used as an deactivation mechanism, requiring the user to input a password or so before it starts, it could be bypassed, by the mingebags hardly know how.

"~" isn't really explained in the first post... or am I missing something? What is "~" and how/why do you use it?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's used and talked about WAY before it's defined. :?

EDIT again: The following is referenced but doesn't make sense - is there a character not displayed?:

Also here:

Yes there is a missing symbol there: "$"
Apparantly a bug in the forum software removed anything that starts with "$" for a while, this meant that "Angle" would work but "$Angle" would vanish.

Testing if bug is still there: $Angle $Yaw $Pitch

Edit: no it isn't hurah, edited rest of post accordingly

A clienside should stop people from using it since none of the other people would have this clienside. If they tried to write one, they would not know what variable to change. Also I don't see how checking its position would tell you if the expression gate was duped, since the values for its current variables will not be saved from the origional.

If they can't bypass a simple "CS == 1" in the e-gate, then they can't bypass anything else you come up with, which defeats the whole purpose. And even if I would do it, the server must have it, it doesn't matter what you egate version you have.

Well, they WOULD know what variable to set, as it's right there in your expression code.

is this a valid line?
WBearing = (floor(Bearing))
I created a fake variable input (WBearing).
The Bearing of a beacon sensor is always being rounded down.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if this is the right place.
but, Im having some problems with the exp chip.

Whenever I try and create one, I can't seem to get the Q menu to go away again, after selecting a text field in the stool menu.

and, when I press the validate button, it removes all lines besides the first one, for some unknown reason. I just recently cleaned my gmod, got the latest revision of wiremod from svn, and still had the problem.
