Lua can be ASCII Art

Observe my wonderful Lua ASCII art creation:

                                                            in(next),_["_"]do

As an improvement on my prior post, this valid Lua program has a more interesting whitespace arrangement, has less string literals, and less alphanumeric characters (no "byte" in this code, whereas the previous post does).

totally off topic, couldent find your email.

sorry to bother you corsix, but, well, you ARE the internet's most famous editor of company of heroes ever.. XD,
mind enlightening me on a small, but verry anying ( for me that is ) question?

if yes, :is there a way, to use critical bags in an ability?
( i have got an ability set up so that my vehicle boosts, then after 30 seconds i want it to blow out its engine.
i got it to boost, then -using only the critical stuff from the ability with a timer, do this temporarily, but it restores to its formar glory afterwards, is there some way to just let it pop its engine like normal damage would, untill an engeneer fixes it again? -short fix ofcoarse because of no 'real' damage.. -might add some too, i know how to do that XD-

if no, sorry for bothering you

and in any cases, i wish you a nice life, and lovely weather - passes a coconut drink-
