[1.10] Variable with no value - Error compiling script
|
Within the settings editor, if I create a new variable, type Integer, and give it a value of 1, then the compiled code is
| Code: |
0000 LINE 0 ; 1
0012 INT 1 |
If I then delete the value the compiled code is
| Code: |
| Error compiling script: |
Just thinking this might cause problems later if variables without a value can't be compiled correctly? |

In earlier versions of CMud (1.03ish), I caused an error that used #if (@variable) when @variable didn't exist. Using it like that was a handy shortcut for checking for non-zero/non-null/nonexistant variables. I don't know about later versions though, but it might have something to do with what you said.

This problem also occurs with some of the other variable types.
Empty values in these variable types show the same error.
AutoType
Integer
String (expanded)
Array
Float
COM Object
String (literal), appears to be the only one working that gives us the ability to look at the compiled code. |

This isn't necessarily a problem. The compiler/parser already handles the case where a variable can't compile. In those cases, the value of the variable is used directly without any code. The problem is that the Code view in the settings editor shows the error. I just need to change the error message. It shouldn't be effecting your scripts. If the variable doesn't have a value, then a null value is used when the variable is accessed.
