I put 4 HowTo's

http://answers.springlobby.info/questio ... ving-units

http://answers.springlobby.info/questio ... e-from-lua

http://answers.springlobby.info/questio ... rom-spring

Do want or spam?

Anyway I think the answers page is much better than putting up lots of stickies and it is more searchable than the wiki.

Also how to make those not show up as unanswered?

I don't really think they fit the format, or at least, the way you did it was wrong.

Instead of answering in the question and posting a blank answer (which, btw, will not stop it showing up in 'unanswered questions' unless it is accepted, and you cannot accept your own answers! but a mod or admin can accept them on your behalf) you should ask the question directly e.g. "How can I write to a file from lua?", and answer it in the correct manner.

Also, while the progress bars is a neat trick, it isn't really a question that someone would ask, it's just showing off a cool idea you had. :P

yeah fail lol.

dunno ofc progressbar will not be used often but it shows other stuff that be might used often like getting buildprogress of a factory which can be used for other animations or to make normal widgets or w/e

Editied questions to be like that.

Now needs a mod or admin to accept them on my behalf.
