Case of the disapearing variables
|
It was a dark and stormy night...
Here's the background:
I am capturing MUD output into variables, concatenating them into strings and storing them into a string list.
The string list is initialized as follows:
| Code: |
#var somevariable {} {} {some|class}
|
Then as information is picked up from the mud, strings are added using:
| Code: |
#additem @somevariable {@bldstr}
|
All is fine.. all is good.. UNTIL I disconnect, at which point all information that was stored in @somevariable goes missing.
Any ideas on how to keep information in dynamically created variables from resetting when the client disconnects?
Thanks in advance for your input. |

You are defining you variables with a default of nul. They are being reset to default. Either turn off the use default box for them in the settings editor or redefine them with '#var somevariable {@somevariable} {_nodef} {some|class}'

I tried turning off the "use default" checkbox.. I'll give the _nodef a shot. Thanks.

Also, you use a syntax of #additem @somevariable {@bldstr}. It should be:
#additem somevariable {@bldstr} |

Anyone else having this problem... Vijilante had the solution. #var varname {data} {_NODEF} {some|class}
