Duplicate vars in different classes
|
I know it's possible to create a class called "Test1" and put a variable called "Test" in it, and then create a class called "Test2" and put a variable in it also called "Test". Assuming both classes are enabled, is there any way to call a variable by the class? I.E. something like (if expanding the var):
@class.var
or
@class.@var
or something along those lines?
TIA,
Adam |

Yes. You can disable the class whose variable you don't want to call and enable the one you do.
#T- Test2;#T+ Test1;@test for the Test1 variable
#T- Test1;#T+ Test2;@test for the Test2 variable
In most cases it would be better to just create different variables (@Test1 and @Test2).

You can also change the current class with the #CLASS command. Example:
#CLASS test1
#SH The value of test is @test
#CLASS test2
#SH The value of test now is @test
#CLASS 0
Note: #CLASS 0 makes the root class folder the current one again.

Sorry, Kjata. Much to my surprise, it doesn't matter what the current class is or what class the script calling the variable is in.

Hmm, that's really strange, I just tested this and it worked out fine. It still does. Here is what I used to test it:
#VAR test 1
#VAR test 2 _nodef "test1"
#VAR test 3 _nodef "test2"
#SH The value of test is @test
#CLASS test1
#SH The value of test is @test
#CLASS test2
#SH The value of test is @test
#CLASS 0
and it outputs:
The value of test is 1
The value of test is 2
The value of test is 3
Also, I can't find anything on the version history about a fix meaning that this is a bug in 6.16. But who knows, perhaps it is a bug that Zugg fixed and never documented.

Must be a bug in 6.16 then. I just cut-and-pasted the same script, and got:
The value of test is 3
The value of test is 3
The value of test is 3

Outside of #CLASS, there's no way to reference a variable if it happens to be preceded by an earlier copy (ie, trying to use @test in the Test2 class when there is one active in the Test1 class). This is because of the above bug, which as Kjata already knows (even if it wasn't quickly remembered ) was fixed in one of the 6.2x betas (possibly one of the 6.16+ betas, but I'm almost sure it was a 6.2x).
