Crispy	Don't just copy and paste the demo. Learn how it works, and then you'll be able to adapt the system to your own needs.

The best thing to do is never intergrate anyone elses code into your own, or start working in their code to suit your purpose. The real and best way to use demos and tutorials is to learn what the code is doing and whats going on. This will then allow you to actually learn the DM syntax so you can code your own games from scatch. Because of the question you brought up, that is the reason I don't like using other people's code in my games. Its much easier to just learn it and do it yourself.

XzDoG	Indeed, as anyone will tell you demos are not just ment to be copy and pasted into a game they are there for you to learn then edit them to your needs if you need to.
