Anyone know about Event Properties: OnActivate, OnDisable, ...?

I'm pretty sure the spaces are a flaw in the [CODE} tag, every X number of characters on one line, it adds a space.

I haven't found EQ2 to use parenthesis in any rational or logical way. Half the time I can leave them out and they won't matter, and using them doesn't seem to change the order math calculations occur; an example:
value=((2+3)*4)
results in value being 14 (3 times 4 plus 2) instead of 20 (5 times 4).

At least this is what I encountered when I was making my Relative DPS Calculator.

I've only found parenthesis useful for letting the game know you mean a "variable" instead of the text that represents it.

Example: The text of the object Foo is "Your Mom"

parent.label.text=parent.Foo.text makes the label say "parent.Foo.text"

parent.label.text=(parent.Foo.text) makes the label say "Your Mom"

Or at least that's how I think it goes. I've always used the parenthesis after something didn't work without them, and I forget what.

I use (basically) parent.label.text=parent.Foo.text and my label text would always read Your Mom. If I wanted the label to show "parent.label.text=parent.Foo.text" I'd have to do parent.label.text='parent.Foo.text'

This is assuming this code is used in an OnEvent.

ok pardon my lack of knowledge, I try to pull what I can read and what I can see from examples to get the jist of things... lets see if I kinda get this...

If I wanted a button on a page that hides that page's parent and opens another page and its parent, would the following be on the right track?

OnPress="parent.playerstats.visible=false 'parent.Personatwo.visible=true'"

where the structure is like:
root>MainHUD>Persona>playerstats/Personatwo

and the button (and its reversed counterpart) is on the playerstats and Personatwo pages trying to hide playerstats and reveal Personatwo.

Dump the apostrophes; you only need those if declaring a new value that contains spaces (like value='value with spaces'). Other than that, looks good to me.

So besides the whole parenthasis thing, did anyone try what I suggested?
