Unfortunately, these other minions are not too bright, so they mostly only have one skill and main has to tell them every little thing they have to do.īs_pixel_set only knows how to draw a pixel on the screen, but main has to tell it where, what colour, and what opacity. FireAlpaca has made main the chief minion with access to control these guys (or ask them questions) through the authority and protocols of the API. Together, r, g, and b define a colour, in this case black (hey, main is a supervillainous minion, remember).īs_pixel_set is one of the army of lesser minions controlled by FireAlpaca.
So, main creates a bunch of mini-monsters/robots in the local fabricator, gives them each a name, and something to remember - r (short for red), remember 0 g(reen), remember 0 b(lue), also 0 and opacity, you get 255 (don’t get a swelled head about the long name or big value). Hey, at least it lightens main’s load a little bit, and they do not go floating off and irritate the supervillain - that is important when you are a minion. Local creates some “local variables” - think of them as small well-behaved but very simple floating orbs that stay close by (thanks to the local setting) and can only remember one thing. Not that I have ever faced that personally *cough*.) We’ll start off small (always build a prototype before building your super-mega-device - it’s so embarrassing to face a superhero and your device goes eeoooffft and turns off in a small cloud of smoke. Right, let’s make that brush script ( see part 1) do some work. 6 notes Making brush scripts, part 2 Minion at work: A simple brush script
