Strange error loading control

[Schatten 275]

Hi, community!

I receive strange error loading control:

Error loading control C:\Users\Schatten\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\Schatten\mpmissions\TestMission.Altis\description.ext/TestDialog/Controls/FuelCapacity/

Some classes in description.ext

class MyRscSliderValue
{
colorActive[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
colorBase[] = TEXT_COLOR;
format = "%.f"; // Text format, value is represented by variable %g (float) or %.f (integer)
idc = -1;
type = SPTPlain; // Format, can be SPTPlain or SPTPercents (multiplies the value by 100)
};
class MyRscXSlider
{
arrowEmpty = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\arrowEmpty_ca.paa";
arrowFull = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\arrowFull_ca.paa";
blinkingPeriod = 0;
border = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\slider\border_ca.paa";
color[] = TEXT_COLOR;
colorActive[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
colorDisabled[] = TEXT_COLOR;
h = MAIN_FONT_SIZE;
idc = -1;
style = 1024;
thumb = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)";
type = 43;

class Value : MyRscSliderValue
{};
};

Controls class in TestDialog.hpp

class SliderValue : MyRscText
{
idc = SLIDER_VALUE_IDC;
style = 2;
w = SLIDER_WIDTH;
x = 0.5 + WIDTH / 2 - WORKSPACE_WIDTH + OFFSET;
y = 0.5 - HEIGHT / 2 + TITLE_HEIGHT + 2 * MAIN_FONT_SIZE + 2 * OFFSET;
};
class FuelCapacity : MyRscXSlider
{
idc = FUEL_CAPACITY_IDC;
w = SLIDER_WIDTH;
x = 0.5 + WIDTH / 2 - WORKSPACE_WIDTH + OFFSET;
y = 0.5 - HEIGHT / 2 + TITLE_HEIGHT + MAIN_FONT_SIZE + OFFSET;

class Value : MyRscSliderValue
{
	format = "%g";
	idc = SLIDER_VALUE_IDC;
};
};

But I do NOT receive error if I delete idc variable in Value class or delete whole Value class in TestDialog.hpp. What the problem?

Does it say anything else besides that there is an error with "FuelCapacity"? E.g. is there a line after that error telling a position or line or something?

Where are your #defines which you are using in TestDialog.hpp?

Are all of them actually defined? Check especially if those are defined, which it depends on whether you get an error or not.

Nothing.

definitions.hpp is in same folder with TestDialog.hpp

#define POUR_FUEL_IDD 3002

#define FUEL_CAPACITY_IDC 3003
#define SLIDER_VALUE_IDC 3004

#define SLIDER_WIDTH 0.4

#define WORKSPACE_WIDTH (2 * OFFSET + SLIDER_WIDTH)

#define HEIGHT (TITLE_HEIGHT + 3 * MAIN_FONT_SIZE + 3 * OFFSET)
#define WIDTH (MENU_WIDTH + OFFSET + WORKSPACE_WIDTH)

All constants are defined.

As I said

I do NOT receive error if I delete idc variable in Value class or delete whole Value class in TestDialog.hpp.

Same error appears if I launch "template: ui controls" by Karel Moricky from SteamWorkshop.

Can you have an idc for an embedded class?

Wiki says

Embedded child scrollbars are created by the engine as and when required for various control types. (CT_LISTBOX eg). The engine generates it's own idc for them. In most cases you can alter characteristics of that auto-generated scrollbar via class ScrollBar

[Schatten 275]

class MyRscSliderValue
{
colorActive[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
colorBase[] = TEXT_COLOR;
format = "%.f"; // Text format, value is represented by variable %g (float) or %.f (integer)
[color="#FF0000"]idc = -1;[/color]
type = SPTPlain; // Format, can be SPTPlain or SPTPercents (multiplies the value by 100)
};

...

class FuelCapacity : MyRscXSlider
{
idc = FUEL_CAPACITY_IDC;
w = SLIDER_WIDTH;
x = 0.5 + WIDTH / 2 - WORKSPACE_WIDTH + OFFSET;
y = 0.5 - HEIGHT / 2 + TITLE_HEIGHT + MAIN_FONT_SIZE + OFFSET;

class Value : MyRscSliderValue
{
	format = "%g";
	[color="#FF0000"]idc = SLIDER_VALUE_IDC;[/color]
};
};

This is it?

class SliderValue : MyRscText
	{
		idc = SLIDER_VALUE_IDC;
		style = 2;
		w = SLIDER_WIDTH;
		x = 0.5 + WIDTH / 2 - WORKSPACE_WIDTH + OFFSET;
		y = 0.5 - HEIGHT / 2 + TITLE_HEIGHT + 2 * MAIN_FONT_SIZE + 2 * OFFSET;
		text = "50.0";
	};
	class FuelCapacity : MyRscXSlider
	{
		idc = FUEL_CAPACITY_IDC;
		w = SLIDER_WIDTH;
		x = 0.5 + WIDTH / 2 - WORKSPACE_WIDTH + OFFSET;
		y = 0.5 - HEIGHT / 2 + TITLE_HEIGHT + MAIN_FONT_SIZE + OFFSET;

		onSliderPosChanged = "ctrlSetText [ 3004, str (floor ((_this select 1)*10) /10) ] ;";

		class Value : MyRscSliderValue
		{
			format = "%g";
			idc = -1;
		};
	};

I broke your whole class down so it was its own container, no inheritence, no defined numbers, added in all missing properties by comparing to vanilla A3 examples from the UI config. Nothing would change the error except replacing the idc with -1. So if you cant live with the error (seems pretty benign only appearing in the RPT) the above is the only other reasonable way to go about it by updating the text via the onSliderChanged EH.

Seems weird how the error points to FuelCapacity yet it seems to be in FuelCapacity/Value. Having any other error in Value, like a missing colorActive, always reports as FuelCapacity/Value being the problem.

Probably, I will have to do so. Thanks!

Yes, it is very strange error - all works fine but this error appears. And it is unclear why.
