This is not >so easy to solve if the ballon is written to determine its weight only >when its is queried.) just put a watcher on the bucket and have it update the balloon's weight when the bucket's weight changes, or send a signal to the balloon telling it it's time to change it's weight. It seems a bit silly to have a cause-effect chain set up and then try to get info from the affected member without going thru the chain (IE: set up the balloon to only calculate it's wieght when it's asked to w/o having the bucket ask it to whenever the bucket's weight changes). thus dropping a rock in the bucket would trigger the balloon to update it's weight which would trigger the tree's watcher to recalculate everything and see if Bubba falls out of the tree. Cause-effect, cause-effect. would be pretty cool to watch from the castle.. *plunk* ... *distant KAAARRASSSHH* followed by "#$@%#$^$%^" from Bubba -Greg </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00266.html">Re: Resets and repops</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00268.html">Greetings. :)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00266.html">Re: Resets and repops</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00098.html">Re: Room coding</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00267"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00267"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: Resets and repops</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00251" HREF="msg00251.html">Re: Resets and repops</A></strong>, claw <a href="mailto:claw#null,net">claw#null,net</a>, Sat 29 Mar 1997, 05:54 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00255" HREF="msg00255.html">Re: Resets and repops</A></strong>, claw <a href="mailto:claw#null,net">claw#null,net</a>, Sat 29 Mar 1997, 11:45 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00257" HREF="msg00257.html">Re: Resets and repops</A></strong>, claw <a href="mailto:claw#null,net">claw#null,net</a>, Sat 29 Mar 1997, 13:26 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00266" HREF="msg00266.html">Re: Resets and repops</A></strong>, S001GMU <a href="mailto:S001GMU#nova,wright.edu">S001GMU#nova,wright.edu</a>, Mon 31 Mar 1997, 23:04 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00267" HREF="msg00267.html">Re: Resets and repops</A></strong>, S001GMU <a href="mailto:S001GMU#nova,wright.edu">S001GMU#nova,wright.edu</a>, Mon 31 Mar 1997, 23:27 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00098" HREF="msg00098.html">Re: Room coding</A></strong>, Nathan Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Thu 13 Mar 1997, 10:29 GMT <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00104" HREF="msg00104.html">Re: Room coding</A></strong>, Nathan Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Thu 13 Mar 1997, 23:00 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00107" HREF="msg00107.html">Re: Room coding</A></strong>, Furball <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lut.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lut.ac.uk</a>, Fri 14 Mar 1997, 05:32 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00109" HREF="msg00109.html">Re: Room coding</A></strong>, Nathan Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Fri 14 Mar 1997, 12:45 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
