Active Objects - Flag limits

[MechatheSlag]

how much is the flag limit? Because my game seems to be confusing flags with eachother so I assume I have reach some sort of limit

[MechatheSlag]

nevermind I've been told its a total of 32

... thats not a lot but yeah

[uprize]

Yeh I know, lots of people are reaching the limits of flags and values... I just use valueAdd extension

32 but it's basically accessed like modulo

so if you're using flag "36" it'll actually junk up flag 4

There are actually 33 flags! 0-32 will work.

[Looki]

Well, flags are stored in a long integer, 4 bytes, 32 bits, so there only are 32 flags possible.

Wow, really? 32 flags? o_O

I really imagined there were unlimited number of flags, being that I could use any number I wanted. Even #'s above 100 worked. X_X

But I never used over 32 flags so I didn't really see a problem. @_@

Hi everyone. It is 0-31 for flag numbers.

It really should have a notice at the top of the 'enter flag number expression screen' saying '0-31'.

Indeed. The modulo operation makes it even more confusing. Imagine someone uses all flags extensively and doesn't know why his app's randomly turning flag 2 on/off - because he used flag 33...
