Sitting up a string variable and then getting it working with my aliases
|
Hello again,
I am trying to sit up a button which ask the yes and no question. Which works fine
#YESNO "How do you want to hitch your mount?" {Portable hitching post:PortablePost} {Weathered hitching post:WeatheredPost}
I believe the variable is an issue because when I click on Portable hitching post, it goes through the steps but skips over, #if (%ismember(%1,@Mounts)) section.
#var Mounts {pegasus|Unicorn|Tame}
#AL {PortablePost}
{
open @container
get post @container
drop post
#if (%ismember(%1,@Mounts)) {
dismount %1
hitch %1 post
}
close @container
}
#AL {WeatheredPost}
{
#if (%ismember(%1,@Mounts)) {
dismount %1
hitch %1 post
}
}
#Class 0
any idea what I am doing wrong here?  [/i] |

You're not sending anything to be assigned to %1.

In an alias, %1 refers to the first parameter passed in to the alias, %2 to the second, etc. So, for example, if you were to type "PortablePost foo bar", %1 would be "foo" and %2 would be "bar". In this case, your button is just running "PortablePost", without passing in any parameters. So when you get to this part of the code:
| Code: |
#if (%ismember(%1,@Mounts)) {
dismount %1
hitch %1 post
} |
%1 is blank, and it doesn't do anything. |

The problem with what you are doing is that there is no actual relationship between the hitching and the mount.
At least, in the script. You have a set of mounts that could be used, but you don't know which mount you are using.
Let's see if this works:
| Code: |
#VAR Mounts {pegasus|Unicorn|Tame}
;;
#ALIAS {GetMount} {
#VAR Mount %pick("p:Choose your mount:",@Mounts)
;;
#YESNO "How do you want to hitch your mount?" {Portable hitching post:PortablePost} {Weathered hitching post:WeatheredPost}
}
#ALIAS {PortablePost} {
open @container
get post @container
drop post
;;
dismount @Mount
hitch @Mount post
}
#ALIAS {WeatheredPost} {
dismount @Mount
hitch @Mount post
}
|
Now, this works, but obviously it isn't too useful. It does give you some idea of what you have to do. |
