What's Wrong

there is just so much going on on this one line. The reason was a lack of focus on a particular object (such as a member var) so I had to derive what I wanted every time.

Suggested Fix

It was eventually fixed with member variables, but a temp solution was breaking down the line with local vars so it would make more sense, when reading it.
