Does TDM know '>' and '<'?

[Jasp]

Hi,

 

what i want is to compare two floats. It's about checking the distance between the player and an AI and start a script if the distance is bigger than 128. I wrote:

 

void folgehelfer()

{

boolean eingreifen;

string abstand;

abstand = $player1.distanceTo($helfer1);

sys.println(abstand);

eingreifen = abstand > 128;

if (eingreifen = true)

{

call unbefugt();

}

}

 

it doesnt work: type mismatch for '>'

 

Does TDM / D3 know '>' and '<'? What is wrong?

The syntax is fine, it's just the data type is wrong. Make abstand a float instead of a string and it'll work.

void folgehelfer()
{
 float abstand;
 abstand = $player1.distanceTo($helfer1);
 sys.println(abstand);
 if (abstand > 128)
 {
	  call unbefugt();
 }
}

Thanks! I didn't notice it...

[Jasp]

but this doesnt work.

 

if (eingreifen = true)

{

call unbefugt();

}

 

it works without the 'call'

 

(no, script doesnt work.. they are attacking the player right from the start... but im new to this and im on it )

As an aside, even though I took it out of my response, this statement:

 

if (eingreifen = true)

 

is going to set eingreifen to TRUE, and the logic test will always be TRUE.

 

What you want to use when you do this sort of thing is

 

if (eingreifen == true)

[grayman]

but this doesnt work.

 

if (eingreifen = true)

{

call unbefugt();

}

 

it works without the 'call'

 

(no, script doesnt work.. they are attacking the player right from the start... but im new to this and im on it )

 

Yes, mea culpa. Should have noticed that.

 

Edit: It's probably not working because your logic statement is wrong. See my note above.

and one guy told it to me 2 hours ago... thank u

[Jasp]

if (eingreifen == true) -> type mismatch for '=='

[grayman]

If you want to continue to use 'eingreifen' (it's not necessary), then what you want is

 

if (eingreifen)

[grayman]

If it's still failing, re-post your current version.

[Jasp]

this is the whole thing. Works now, thanks alot!

 

void befugt()

{

$wache1.setEntityRelation($player1,1);

$wache1.setAlertLevel(0);

$wache2.setEntityRelation($player1,1);

$wache2.setAlertLevel(0);

sys.println("befugt");

}

 

void unbefugt()

{

$wache1.setEntityRelation($player1,-1);

$wache2.setEntityRelation($player1,-1);

sys.println("unbefugt");

}

 

void folgehelfer()

{

boolean eingreifen;

float abstand;

abstand = $player1.distanceTo($helfer1);

sys.println(abstand);

eingreifen = abstand > 128;

if (eingreifen)

{

unbefugt ();

}

else

{

befugt ();

}

}

Congrats!
