Absolute paths
|
(Can't seem to find my original post so i'll repost)
Is there a way to reference ABSOLUTE alias and variable paths in cMud?
in zMud you could do stuff like
| Code: |
#var alluran/data/varname {This is a test}
#alias alluran/aliases/myalias {#say @alluran/data/varname}
alluran/aliases/myalias
|
And you would see
displayed on your screen
Is there an equivalent in cMud? |

Yes the same still applies. There is also now the addition of module//whateverPath/name.

hmm maybe i'm doing something wrong then, i just typed this into cMud (latest)
| Code: |
#var alluran//portals/data/test moo
#say @alluran//portals/data/test
|
and then it said
| Quote: |
//portals/data/test
|
And i checked, (the alluran package exists, the portals class exists, the data subclass exists) and there is now a variable named alluran//portals/data/test in the default package with the value moo |

Ok, with more testing, #say @Alluran/Portals/Data/Portals works, but #var alluran/portals/data/portals wont reach that variable, not as big a drama i spose, woulda been nice to be able to keep that method for referencing my variables, i never liked putting the class names last

Why not try the alternate syntax for setting a variable's value then? //alluran/portals/data/test = moo

Unless this was changed in CMud, #VARIABLE has it's own parameter slot for the class location:
#VARIABLE name {current_value} {default value} "class location"
It wouldn't make much sense to use the package//class/name method, there. |

Except if you dont like including _nodef in all your code because its just asking for typos and errors ;) but thats ok, i'm swapped to this format now. No biggie

The syntax is actually this:
//Module/Class/Item
and it works fine for me in variable references (@//somemod/somevar). Haven't used it for anything else, as Matt's described. |

Yeah, I keep mixing it up. Must have something to do with one of the lanuages I learned sometime. I will get it right eventually.
