Actually, the workaround I came up with involves using objects created by the developer for their intended usage, which is creating complex mechanics, so no, I wouldn't call them a "hack". A hack is when a user gains unauthorized access to the code to change it in some way, or finds a way to insert new code without access to the original source code, usually by running the program through a script or some such.Gambit37 wrote:Exactly my point. The workarounds you've created are certainly clever, but they aren't using functionality as it was intended. This sort of solution is known as a hack. Nothing wrong with hacking of course, it's necessary in this case.
The thing you're talking about is called code injection, which is one type of hack, but far from the only one.Seriously Unserious wrote:I wouldn't call them a "hack".

Speak for yourself!Chaos-Shaman wrote:the weird part is the programmers are not hacking
it is definitley not a hack, it's already in the game, although when you use black walls you could i suppose call that a hack but it's not, it's just a black wall with a mirror, and that does not fit the hack proccess. i will send you the new work SU, sorry, was real busy last week and will be again this week.Seriously Unserious wrote:from what I've seen of it so far, it is. Chaos-Shaman is just using the engine's built-in objects and features in a new way that no-one ever thought of before. In my mind that's not a hack, it's just using the engine as it was designed. Hacking the engine, imo is altering it in some way to make it do something it wasn't designed to do, and it also has to be an unauthorized alteration. If it was authorized it wouldn't be a hack then, just an update to the engine.
