Help with #FORALL
|
hi
I can't get this to work.
roomnumber="1100|1101|1108|1109"
#FORALL @roomnumber {#WIN rooms <send '#WALK %item(@roomnumber,%i)'>%item(@roomnumber,%i)</send>}
It does nothing at all.
But if I do
#FORALL @roomnumber {#WIN rooms <send '#WALK %item(@roomnumber,1)'>%item(@roomnumber,1)</send>}
it type:
1100
1100
1100
1100
Think its the <send> that dosent like the %i but don't know what else to do |

The reason it doesn't work is because you're trying to do %i from a #FORALL with %item on a list with fewer than 1100 items. The correct syntax for %item is %item(@list, number no greater than number of items in @list). However, you can do #WALK %i and it'll work.
%i corresponds to the item the #FORALL is currently on, so when it runs the first time, it sends 1100 as %i, then 1101 as %i, and so forth. When you do #LOOP, however, it corresponds to the current number the #LOOP is on.

FYI there's a bug involving the use of #WALK, #TELEPORT, #RECALL, and I believe #LOCATION centered around calling the mapper from a different window. Essentially, that part of the mapper is only visible to the main window itself via natural calls originating from scripts in that main window/package. Even commands like #EXECWIN, which according to Zugg should be getting seen as a scope origination from the main window, won't work if the script containing the #EXECWIN is coming from a different window.
In addition to those four commands, various map functions won't work either for similar reasons. |

Putting:
:%item(%names, 1):
in front of the command should be a good workaround |

One problem is here:
| Quote: |
| roomnumber="1100|1101|1108|1109" |
That is assigning a STRING value to roomnumber and not a proper string list. To get a string list, you MUST use {} around the value and NOT the " quote. So it should look like this:
| Code: |
| roomnumber={1100|1101|1108|1109} |
|
