To write a game using every single native DBP command, but only once.

would the commands if...then..else..endif be considered native commands? i think they are.. if so, its impossible.. and to use every single one.. well you must be on drugs m8.. Define "Native"

Surely you could use some of them inside a loop, so they only appear once in the code but are executed multiple times. Even so, it would be hard getting more than one or two input or even logic decisions for the entire game. You could write something, it's just whether it would be defined as a 'game' or not is the problem.

depends what the heck he means by native really... as technically there are over 1,000 native commands and it is impossible to use them all on all systems even more so using each of them only once.

plus you'd have to understand them all - so he really needs to define the boundries here a little more clearly

Not possible since several commands don't work. Need to wait until the full final release of pro for this comp. should be sometime in the future I would guess.

When I say native. I'm meaning all commands that are documented in the Help files. Basically, excluding all DLLs and DLL commands.
