Local, Player and Global Flags and Variables

Is it just me . . . or do scripts only support setting and reading of Global and Local Flags?

I can't see how to check or set Global, Local, or Player variables or Player flags inside of a script. Inside of a dialog, yes. But not in a script.

The WorldEd Manual says that you can check any of them from within a script, but I can't seem to get it to work. For example, the manual says this will be used to set and check a global variable:

0. Global Variable 1 = Global Variable 1 + 5
1. If Global Variable 1<=5
THEN goto line 6
ELSE do nothing

Which generates an error inside ScriptEd . . . and you can't even get those statements inside of Sock Monkey.


This is way it seems to work:

S = Check and set in script
D = Check and set in dialog

Code:

+---------+--------+--------+-------+
|         | GLOBAL | PLAYER | LOCAL |
|---------|--------|--------|-------|
| FLAG    |   S D  |    S   |  S D  | 
|---------|--------|--------|-------|
| VARIBLE |    S   |    S   |   S   |
+---------+--------+--------+-------+

I tested that statement ín ScriptEd and it works JUST FINE. :smile:

Your problem is just that you seem to have
mistyped the statement.
if you type it like this:

0. IF Global Variable 1 <= 1
THEN goto line 1

then it compiles, but if you type like you did:


0. IF Global Variable 1<=1
THEN goto line 5

it doesn't, because that causes the parser to look for this opcode: '(num)<=(num)' but since it doesn't exist, it generates an error.

I hope this helps at least a little bit :smile:

 

Thanks!

Thank you both for getting me back on track!
