Is it possible to have a remark or comment in the scripting for Zmud? If so what is the syntax?

// quote
Or in the settings editor have a ; at the beginning of a line.

View->Preferences->Script Parser

See the check boxes for the comments on the right side.

Thank you much. For some reason the // catches the syntax checker as an error, but the ; did the trick. Both // and ; were selected by default so I am not sure why syntax checker was failing on the // but I will settle for the ;

Thanks again

Also, you can't do comments within code-blocks:




;this comment is a-ok with the syntax-checker


#if (some condition) {


  do some commands


} {


  ;this annoys the syntax checker


  do some other commands


} //so is this comment

Do not use ; as a comment if you intend to export your setting as a form of backup.
When you import them the comment ; is taken as a line seperator and can screw up your trigger.

This was reported to zugg about a year ago, I was basicaly told to live with it. All to do with keeping zmud compatable with tintin *boggle*

use this instead
#noop a comment can be put in here

If you want to comment out some code when debugging scripts you have to put any lines with commands ie #if, #Var etc in quotes "#if blah blah", this is to get round an bug in the syntax checker in zMud.
