RunOncePerCycleIfMatchBlankWithSensor [was: TT 3.66]

Hi all.

I decided to reply to weblabs-requests since probably others are unclear about this as well.

If, for example, you train a robot to repeatedly add 1 and put this robot on the back of a picture and give it a sensor like the width or x position, it used to be (and now is again in 3.66 and beyond) that it would slowly grow or move. For many months now the picture grows or moves VERY FAST. The default is the old slow way and you can get the fast behaviour by setting this flag to 0 in toontalk.ini. Note that if you do set it to 0 so it changes as fast as possible, the corresponding Java applet will still be slow.

Best,

-ken

    RunOncePerCycleIfMatchBlankWithSensor. If set to 1 in the Switches
    section then if a robot matches an erased pad or picture in its thought
    bubble with a sensor then the robot will only run once during that
    cycle. This has long been the behavior when matching non erased things
    with sensors and was once true for erased things as well. 1 is the
    default as of Beta 42 or 3.66.
     
  So, what is this good for? What should I set this to to get our things to work?
