[2.01] Paranthesis inside variables
|
I have this code:
| Code: |
| #VAR portal {(123456)} |
When I look in the settings editor for the content inside the variable, it shows
(123456)
But when I do
#SHOW @portal
It only shows 123456, meaning it skips the () around the number. The exact same code zMUD includes the parathesis', showing
(123456)
just like what's intended.
If I add "~" before the parathesis', it shows
~(123456~)
instead, so it's not working either.

Try #VAR portal "(123456)" instead?

Hmm, that worked. What is the difference between the ways of assigning? Making this a string instead of... what?

normally parenthesis evaluate the contents... since its just an integer, there is nothing to evaluate

Hmm, I tried the example, and #VAR portal {(123456)} worked for me just fine. What was the type of the variable in the settings editor? It should be "string(expanded)"

I think that was the problem, Zhiroc. He was expecting "string (literal)" instead, which is why I recommended the use of the double quotes.

Perhaps, but string(expanded) works fine for me too. The parens don't get stripped. It seems like the type was probably getting set to Integer.
Having to use double quotes would be a bug, because you might want a to do #VAR portal "(%1)" which wouldn't work. |

I don't know what I had from the start, but now it works with both string(literal) and (expanded).

What you would do then is #VAR portal "("%1")", so it's not a bug at all. |
