Watched it live.

I'm disappointed at how little they focused on games. In the twenty minutes where they talked about games there was not a single walkthrough, only gameplay trailers. In the remainder of the time they talked about watching TV on a TV and about fantasy football.

Also, Call of Duty Ghosts does not look very good graphics-wise. It is an improvement compared to Call of Duty Black Ops 2, but pretty much everything would be an improvement compared to that.

The PS4 announcement had me impressed when they showed off Kill Zone.

It might be a good console nonetheless, but the presentation failed to show off what I care about (graphics). Looking forward to the E3.

It's not like I'm going to buy either of the next generation consoles, but I care about the increased demand for fancy graphics technologies and about the impact on PC gaming.
I think maybe the proximity to E3 had to do with Microsoft's lack of game focus. They probably wanted to shove all the boring stuff out of the way so that E3 can be a knockout conference of game after game after game.

P.S.: Final file size for the list generated by my program was 108 GB.

It didn't make me laugh, but it was funny because it was true.

I'm worse at programming than I should be.
creating trees from ini file
works fine, but the z value is not being applied to the trees.

Try something more like this instead:
Code:
 

tree=choose(TreeOne,TreeTwo);
id=instance_create(xx,yy,tree);
id.z=zz;

I did this because I don't know any better
Code:
 

id.tree=choose(TreeOne,TreeTwo);
instance_create(xx,yy,id.tree);
id.z=zz;

I called this in a controller object so the controller objects z is actually the one changing, and when the tree is created it gets the z of the controller.

Applies the z value correctly for about half the trees, the rest get switched out with each other. I thought it was because I was calling the script too fast, slowed it down and still same thing. It could be because game maker can't possibly move the controllers z that fast, or they are just getting mixed up.

You need the id of the tree that is being created, which is why you need to set it to
Code:
 

id=instance_create(xx,yy,tree);
id.z=zz;

When I tried it that way it said you cannot assign an id to a variable that way(I'm at work so I don't remember the exact wording of the error)

That's right, id is a reserved keyword. Forgive my ignorance. I haven't used GM since around 2008 or 2009, I think. Try changing it to id_tree or something.

meh I've always sucked with IDs in gm so I used my advanced height script from another engine of mine thanks though.

edit: my new problem, is creating two wall primitives within one object, but having them intersect at opposing 90 deg angles. I can create 2 primitives in one object, but giving them different variables is the problem.

edit:
after trying many things this is what I've done and not working please help :)
Spoiler: click to toggle

You shouldnt need the ifs. x2[0] = blah , x2[1] = blah etc., should work. Have you searched the forums for placing trees like this? I think I seen it around somewhere.

yes I have but my tree system is pretty sensitive thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it didn't work. I've also spent hours searching the forum, if you know of a topic that will help I would greatly appreciate a link. I don't think I've seen anything on creating multiple wall objects, any multiple object code that I've adapted to work with walls simply stops drawing any walls at all.
edit: lol I made a model of what I'm trying to do with walls and because of normals each object is displaying twice as many faces as a wall would. The effects I am using effectively dropped my frame rate by 40 compared to when I was just using billboards.

You said you adapted the code for wall object so my guess is your uding primitives not models. Have you tried using wall models instead? Primitives in u3d don't seem to be too manipulative, but your just trying to assign different coordinates so I dont see why it would cause such hassel.
I'll play around with this tomorrow and see if I can come up with something that works.
