Hi,
I need to generate scripts dynamically. This is the way I do it:

Game.ClearScriptCache();
Sleep(5);
var script = new File("volumes.script");
var volumes = new File("volumes.txt");
script.OpenAsText(2);
volumes.OpenAsText(1);
var line = volumes.ReadLine();
while(line != null){
   script.WriteLine(line);
   line = volumes.ReadLine();
}
script.Close();
volumes.Close();

Game.AttachScript("volumes.script");

It works when I run the game from the project manager but it doesn't work in the compiled version (the script is not executed).
Ï need this functionality because I need to let my co-worker change global variables (i.e. the volumes.txt file) at runtime via changing the file.


Is there a way of achieving this?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

Based on our irc discussion, here's how it could be done:

Code: WME Script

1.  
2. global SfxVolumes = new Array();
3.  
4. method InsertVolumeItem(sound,volume)
5. {
6.     var item;
7.     item.sound = sound;
8.     item.volume = volume;
9.  
10.     SfxVolumes.Push(item);
11. }
12.  
13. method ReturnVolumeItem(sound)
14. {
15.     for (var a=0; a< SfxVolume.Length;a=a+1)
16.     {
17.         var item = SfxVolumes[a];
18.         if (item.sound == sound) return item;
19.     }
20.     return null;
21.  
22. }
23.  
24.  
25. method PlaySound(soundFile)
26. {
27.     var item = ReturnVolumeItem(soundFile);
28.     var volume = 100; // default value
29.     if (item != null) volume = item.volume;
30.    
31.     this.PlaySound(soundFile);
32.     this.SetSoundVolume(volume);
33. }
34.  
35.

Thanks!
It's a much better solution.
