[7.13b] Import inconsistencies (bug?)
|
I'm attempting to write a very large, very complex script, but I'm having difficulties getting things to import the way they work from the command line.
My first problem is in creating a data record variable with lists (class folder names, actually) as the keys. I can create these keys in the settings editor and my alias that makes use of the variable works wonderfully. I can even force the list as a key from the command line using the %addkey function. However, when I try to use the %addkey method from the text file that I import, it gives me unexpected results.
| Code: |
#VAR ToggleClasses {%addkey(@ToggleClasses, "ACP|AntiIllusion", 1)}
#VAR ToggleClasses {%addkey(@ToggleClasses, "ACP|Balances", 0)}
#VAR ToggleClasses {%addkey(@ToggleClasses, "ACP|Tracking|Attacks|Serpentlord", 1)}
#VAR ToggleClasses {%addkey(@ToggleClasses, "ACP|Tracking|Devotion", 0)}
#VAR ToggleClasses {%addkey(@ToggleClasses, "ACP|Tracking|Kaido", 0)}
#VAR ToggleClasses {%addkey(@ToggleClasses, "ACP|Tracking|Occultism", 0)}
#VAR ToggleClasses {%addkey(@ToggleClasses, "ACP|Tracking|Venom", 0)}
|
The second problem involves making a list of lists with the #ADDITEM command. When I couldn't get the data record variable to work, I decided to try nested lists instead. This had equally odd results. Again, from the command line, it worked perfectly. From the text file, it gave me strange values.
| Code: |
#VAR SafeClasses {}
#ADDITEM SafeClasses {ACP|AntiIllusion}
#ADDITEM SafeClasses {ACP|Tracking|Attacks|Serpentlord} |
Command-line results:

Is there something inherently wrong with the code? Could something else that I do possibly cause such bizarre behavior? Thanks in advance. |

The import capabilties are supposed to operate in verbatim mode just like loading a .mud file does. I have personally noted some inconsistencies, but I think Zugg never believed me. In any case the best thing to do is tweak around with the 6 different method there are for expressing just about anything in zScript and find the one that works.
Examples of definite inconsistencies I know are #VARIABLE vs #FUNCTION, #BUTTON full format the name parameter has problems, and 1 other I forget since it almost never used. |
