Reactors..what are they?

I see posts here and there about reactors. what the heck are they? I did a google search but didn't find much in the way of explanation.

nuclear reactors? You're gonne have to give us a context to figure this out

lol, well nm I found some info in the vlisp help files. I must have miss typed it before

ok, so you're not gonne tell the rest of us what it is?

well I only read 2 paragraphs as I'm about to go to bed. Apparently a reactor is an object you can attach to a specific entity in autocad. This reactor is attached by an application to an object. So, for example, if this Object is moved the reactor will notify the application that it has moved. Then you could program the application to trigger something else. Like say blow up your computer or maybe just change the layer?

I'm sure i'm not even scratching the surface.

hm....well it sounds interesting enough

:lol:My avatar shows what happens when you try to move a reactor

A reactor is a VLISP object that can be implemented to trigger on an event occuring.

If supplied with a call-back function, this function will be evaluated when the reactor is triggered.

There is quite a bit of info in the Visual LISP help files, on this site, and also on AfraLISP
