[1.08] #Message of Strictly number values are not displayed
 
If you issue any of the following commands, text will not be displayed.

#MESSAGE 12345
#MESSAGE "12345"

but adding any text character will cause it to be displayed.

#MESSAGE 12345a
#MESSAGE "12345 "

The compiled code is below.

Code:
0000   LINE   0   ; #MESSAGE 12345
0012   INT   12345
0020   CMD   message   (1)
0032   LINE   1   ;
#MESSAGE "12345"
0044   LITERAL   "12345"
0060   CMD   message   (1)
0072   LINE   2   ;

0084   LINE   3   ;
#MESSAGE 12345a
0096   STR   '12345a'
0112   CMD   message   (1)
0124   LINE   4   ;
#MESSAGE "12345 "
0136   LITERAL   "12345 "
0152   CMD   message   (1)

From the zMUD help file:
Quote:
Syntax: #MES [time] string

Displays a small window containing the specified string as a message. The window is small and surrounded by a red border. There is a button in the window to close it. If the window is not closed within 10 seconds, it closes automatically. Optionally, you can specify the time for the window to remain open as the first argument, and give the message string as a second argument.


So if the first argument is a number, it's being taken as the time delay for the window. Now, I'll see if I can fix this so that when there is only one argument that it gets used as the message string instead of just the window delay time.

At one point I started to suspect that (and I really should have checked) but I wanted to do a sanity check.

Part of it is that CMUD reference pages read a little differently.

#message s t u

s: string (optional) - Message to be displayed

t: string

u: string
