Technical forum / Strange Problem with duplicated variables

« on: July 17, 2010, 12:29:39 PM »

I´ve written some code that selects a trading card from a stack, the code looks like that:

var mycard = Random(1,10);

var foecard = Random(1,10);


if (foecard==1)
   {
   var fcardAT = 13;   
   var fcardDF = 11;
   var fcardCO = 12;
   var fcardINT = 9;
   var fcardSP = 9;
   var fcardST = 10;
   var fsprite = "sprites\cards\card1.sprite";
   }

if (foecard==2)
   {
   var fcardAT = 12;
   var fcardDF = 6;
   var fcardCO = 8;
   var fcardINT = 9;
   var fcardSP = 11;
   var fcardST = 8;
   var fsprite = "sprites\cards\card2.sprite";
   }

if (foecard==3)
   {
   var fcardAT = 11;
   var fcardDF = 13;
   var fcardCO = 12;
   var fcardINT = 10;
   var fcardSP = 8;
   var fcardST = 12;
   var fsprite = "sprites\cards\card3.sprite";
   }

(and so on)

So basically the variables for the card values should only be set according to the right card. However, I get these error messages:

13:07: Compiling script 'scenes\battlefield\scr\scene_init.script'...
13:07:   Error@line 55: Duplicate declaration of variable 'fcardAT'
13:07: Compiling script 'scenes\battlefield\scr\scene_init.script'...
13:07:   Error@line 56: Duplicate declaration of variable 'fcardDF'
13:07: Compiling script 'scenes\battlefield\scr\scene_init.script'...


Looks like the "if" is ignored and all variable sets are executed!

Anyone a clue?

Technical forum / Strange Entity behaviour - respawning Entity?!

« on: November 12, 2007, 03:57:25 PM »

Hi all, working through our testers reports I found another very strange issue:

We have Entities representing Items, such as an empty bucket called "eimerstand" that becomes an Item "Eimerleer" when picked up. In the scene, where the bucket stands, it`s linked to the item and everything works fine.

Code: [Select]

on "Take"
{
actor.GoToObject(this);
Game.TakeItem("Eimerleer");
}
Works great. I pick up the item, it dissapears in the scene, and the Item "Eimerleer" is in my inventory.
I can change to other scenes, come back, everything is fine - the empty bucket is still gone.

But now it becomes VERY strange:
When I destroy the bucket "Eimerleer" in my inventory, through creating another item out of it (filling it with wheat), the empty bucket in the scene respawns after I change the scene and return. Here`s the script located in the script of the wheat:

Code: [Select]

on "Eimerleer"
{
  actor.GoTo(450,675);
  actor.TurnTo(DI_UP);
  Game.DeleteItem("Eimerleer");
  actor.Talk("Perfekt!");
  Game.TakeItem("Eimergetreide");
 
}
I also tried

Code: [Select]

on "Eimerleer"
{
  actor.GoTo(450,675);
  actor.TurnTo(DI_UP);
  Game.DeleteItem("Eimerleer");
  actor.Talk("Perfekt!");
  Game.TakeItem("Eimergetreide");
 Game.DeleteEntity("Eimerstand");
 
}
During reading the boards, I´ve learnt that "DeleteItem" and "DeleteEntity" removes them permanently from the game. But whatever I do, the Entity always respawns in the original location after the destruction of the item representing it. (No matter if I drop or delete it)

Do I have some logical error inside I did not get?
