dose anyone else feel theirs a lack of a good manual

Postby madstrom » Tue Jul 11, 2006 3:56 pm

i hate to attack a good product and GE is a good product . but as im browsing through the forum i caint help but see a lot qeustions "how do i do this " "how do i do that " and ill say every one is very helpfull but some of answers assume you understand the scriping langauge .
the bottom line is i think the instruction for GE leaves a lot of holes .for example their is little explanation for statments physical response ect
in a nutshell i think it could do with revising
also a PDA version would be good
i just woundered if anyone else felt the same
i mean dose anyone intend to write a book (or have done) cause i would buy it

Facts

I think the manual is pretty good. The main fact so far is, if you are running in a resolution other than 800x600, chances are that the tutorials are often going to break and do something wierd.

To correct: switch to 800x600.

what kind of information?

the script editor page of the manual doesn't have links to everything, so you could try searching the page...

for example ive read about physical response but i havent had it explained to me via the text . this is just one example i program automatic cranes so im not new to computers programing but i am to this. ive done what i feel most have done and muddled through a first attempt
im not looking to be told im reading the manuel wrong or am i asking for single items to be explained im epressing an overall opion nothing more
i dont wish to offend those that this may come a little easier to
this product was sold as a tool that can be used by people with no programing experiance im finding this not to be the case
i work well with a manual to cross refrence with and sorry guys i just think whats their , still leaves me lost (an opion)
