[1.18] Problem with %pos() in SWITCH
|
Simutronics' Modus Operandi. I am submitting this as a bug report and also posting it in the CMUD forum.
I think the syntax is correct in the following, but it doesn't work. This is part of a GSL-type trigger with the pattern "P" and Case Sensitive, Trigger on Trigger and Trigger on Newline checkboxes marked. @BodyPos is used to display on the status bar whether I am standing, sitting, kneeling or lying down.
| Code: |
$PP=%gsl(P);
BodyPos="STANDING ";
#switch
(%pos("H",$PP)>0) {BodyPos="SITTING "};
:
: |
The variable @BodyPos does not get loaded correctly for the status bar, and the contents of @BodyPos end up being sent to the MUD whenever the trigger fires.
I ended up having to assign the value "H" to the variable @HH externally and use the following.
| Code: |
$PP=%gsl(P);
BodyPos="STANDING ";
#switch
(%pos(@HH,$PP)>0) {BodyPos="SITTING "};

I'm fine with it, now that it works, but shouldn't the first method work also? |

Firstly, if your #switch has more than one line, you don't need semicolons after each of them. Doing that will force it to be parsed as a new command, which is probably not what you intended. Similarly, since the #switch is on a new line, you don't need a semicolon after BodyPos=.
To test if that fixes it, I had to change the %gsl(P) part to a string of letters, I used HAYBS. The final script was this:
| Code: |
$PP=HAYBS
BodyPos="STANDING "
#switch
(%pos("H",$PP)) {BodyPos="SITTING "} |
And it works fine for me.
(You don't need > 0 for the %pos because it will automatically evaluate true if it's a number 1 or more.)
EDIT: See the other thread for some more input on this problem. |
