A brief return to the classic IFS to 'advertise' the eponymous script. A variant of 'No escape'.

Hi Ian,

This is great, having a lot of fun with it, as you will see on DA.

The CalculateColors command causes an error message Syntax Error Position 14, 17.

I'm trying to work it all out following yr tips.

I'd like to understand the actual process the script is dong her. I've consulted Datagram & other How To Script tuts, but they don't discuss CalculateColors, which is odd, because I find it happens in a lot of scripts I've downloaded and, sure, they work when I // before the command, but something tells me that causes me to miss out on some interesting stuff, even tho it works on the resaved retry.


So another tip on what's the best solution here will help.

Cheers!

Anu the Hungry.

CalculateColors is supposed to be a built-in script function, but you're not the only one who's had trouble with it. I've never seen a definitive answer as to why it sometimes fails (aside from the obvious path problem), not whether a clean program installation cures the problem. A little cavalier of me to use it, when Transform.Color := 1 ; would have sufficed - oh well...
