Illegal Token in Script, What am I doing wrong?
|
This is from another thread, but I kind of buried my own question. I'm trying to have a script in a shared package that sets variables for sessions. The current example is trivial, but it's part of a larger plan. Here's the syntax I'm using:
| Code: |
| #VAR //%item(%names, 1)/test %item(%names, 1) |
When I paste this into a window, this should effectively reference the Window's Name as the root object and create a variable directly under that window named 'test' that contains the value of the windows name. However, instead I get a syntax error.
Edit:
As I'm reading through the documentation and playing more - I realized this won't do what I want (though I still need to know how to make this syntax work).
%names contains a variable array of all the windows and %item is a function the returns an item from the array specified by the index (which oddly starts at 1 rather than 0).
I need to know specifically how to identify from which window a trigger was fired. I want a trigger in a shared package that knows from what window it was fired. I.E. if it fires from the window "Character1" I want to explicitly set a variable in that window like this:
| Code: |
| #VAR //Character1/someVariable newValue; |
Edit 2:
In reference to edit 1: %window is the function I need, however I still can't figure out the syntax.
None of the following work:
| Code: |
#VAR //%window/test test
#VAR (//%window/test test)
#VAR //(%window)/test test
//%window/test = test
@//%window/test = test |

Did you try curly braces?
#var {//%window/test} test |

Every possible combination I could think of.
| Code: |
| #var {//%window/test} test |
Generates a syntax error. Uck, it feels like anytime I try to do anything more than extremely basic in CMUD I run into proprietary code-issue problems (nothing works under the hood the way you would expect). |

Try adding a local variable to the mix.
$window = %window |
