#alarm bug?
|
With this function:
| Code: |
<func name="alarmTest" id="575">
<value>$time = 31
#ALARM tempAlarm {+{$time}} {#SHOW time's up}
#SHOW time remaining: %alarm(tempAlarm)
#PRINT cancelling alarm
#CALL %alarm(tempAlarm, {+1})</value>
</func>
|
I get this output upon execution:
| Quote: |
time remaining: 3522095999998
cancelling alarm
time's up |
That many milliseconds represents about 2700 years. Perhaps I have my syntax wrong (though Ctrl-K says no). Removing the inner brackets around $time yields the same results. Do alarms simply not work with local variables? |

Try the following changes.
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<func name="alarmTest" copy="yes">
<value>$time = 31
$tempAlarm = %concat("#alarm tempAlarm {+",$time,"} {#SHOW time's up}")
#exec $tempAlarm
#SHOW time remaining: %alarm(tempAlarm)
#PRINT cancelling alarm
#CALL %alarm(tempAlarm, "+1")</value>
</func>
</cmud>

Actually, the problem is not the inner brackets, but the outer brackets.
| Code: |
$time = 31
#ALARM tempAlarm +$time {#SHOW time's up}
#SHOW time remaining: %alarm(tempAlarm)
#PRINT cancelling alarm
#CALL %alarm(tempAlarm, {+1}) |
works just fine. Not sure why, and is probably a bug, but there you go. |

I hope this is an isolated thing. I'd hate to think that the use of brackets is yet more complicated. Use them to evaluate their contents, sometimes. Use them to group commands and delimit command elements - no wait, not all the time.
Thanks for puzzling that out. I wouldn't have thought to try something which directly contradicts the documentation. |
