pissed off ?! pmb, be glad you dont know me that good
dunno about that declaration what is local and what persistent. and I also dont know the variables of HPB bot, but that pBot-> just looked so hpbbot-stylish. my basic idea was just to write that general stuff as general as possible, not emphasising this HL bot relation, since we don't only want to be a forum for HL1/HL2 bot ppl. anyway, that's ok with me.
we are just starting the wiki guys ... e.g. the geometry article, it's just the outline ... although I dunno if we need explicit code in some parts. take e.g. the part "line hitting plane" : doesnt everybody know that (a+b)c = ac + bc from school ? and that you can do the same to both sides of an equation and it's still valid ( in most cases, dont divide by 0 and such stuff ) ? I mean, this way, you cannot copy and paste, ok, but you know where some formula comes from and it's not difficult to rearrange, so this knowledge might be useful when debugging or optimizing.
