variable evaluation problems
|
I have two problems with variable evaluation.
First problem:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
./multiAdept/numSpell = %numitems( @./multiAdept/adeptList)
#SHOW numSpell: @./multiAdept/numSpell
#BREAK
#WHILE (@./multiAdept/numSpell <> 0 ) {
#SHOW NumSpell: @./multiAdept/numSpell
}
The first #SHOW is executed and shows:
numSpell: 3
Execution breaks and I evaluate numSpell with mouse over and value still shows as 3.
However, the execution never enters the WHILE loop.
Second problem:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MUD output:
New Old
Dexterity 13 15
Intelligence 10 9
Trigger on pattern: ^(%w)%s(%d)
#IF (%1 = "Intelligence") {
INT = %2
}
Once all stats have been stored it goes through to check that all are acceptable
#IF (@INT >= %item( @{minStats@charClass}, @intPos)) {
acceptStats = 1
#SHOW INT ok
} {acceptStats = 0}
However, this evaluates to true when 5<= @INT <= 9, and false if @INT > 9. It is supopsed to evaluate to true whenever @INT >= 5. Is the variable considered to be a string? |

Try remove the space before ')':
#WHILE (@./multiAdept/numSpell <> 0 )
--->
#WHILE (@./multiAdept/numSpell <> 0) |

Does ZMud support <>? I know it does support !=, but I've never really seen or used <> within ZMud. Could be you're using an invalid operator.

Thanks for the input. The problem was indeed the ' ' before the ')'. Space removed, problem solved.
And the <> is supported as well as the != |

Your second problem is caused by a small oddity. The %item function returns results with quotes around them, although it is extremely hard to ever catch it doing it. This causes the evaultion preformed by the #IF to operate on a string basis instead of a mathematical basis. Use %number to fix this.
#IF (@INT >= %number(%item( @{minStats@charClass}, @intPos))) { |
