Editing problem with @ and ||

[Bremmer 0]

Hello

I just came across a problem with the editor, trying to use a combination of @ and OR. If this problem is well known then please forgive me for bringing it up again.

Basically the OR in a condition line such as :

@ (condition1 or condition2)

is not recognised correctly, and is interpreted as an AND instead.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ian

here's what i tried

trigger #1:

radius=0, Alpha Radio, repeatedly., condition=this, activation=condA=!condA

trigger #2:

radius=0, Charlie Radio, repeatedly., condition=this, activation=condB=!condB

both condA and condB were intialized as false from the beginning.

then i wrote a simple script.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">#dd

gg domove getmarkerpos "jj"

@(condA or condB)

gg stop true

goto "dd"

exit

<span id='postcolor'>

gg=name of a soldier,

jj=name of a marker where soldier runs to

when i execute this in player initialization field, gg runs across me to the marker position "jj" when i press 0-0-1 or 0-0-3, he stops running.

so i think it works... hope this helps

Your right! It appears that @ is sensitive to whether the variables are undeclared. The only other time I've needed to declare variables false at the beginning is when checking for a not condition type. ie.

cond1 - not declared

not cond1 = false

cond1 = false

I wonder why having some ambiguity in one of the OR terms (by not declaring them) causes the command to fail ?

Thanks again

Ian

I am sure this has been discussed before (I remmember Kegetys participated in the discussion) - but I am unable to find it (it is likely it was in the periord when topic registration for search database did not work).
