CMUD variable scheme
|
Still getting used to the changes in CMUD variables. I cant really figure out a few things. First off, when I import aliases with assignment statements from zmud, they do not seem to work, and I am not really sure why.
Let me show you another example of something i'm not sure about:
alias 'stat' does the following
$temp2=%params
temp = $temp2
#SHOW Statting
$temp=%query(&short=@temp,Weapons)
#SHOW temp is now $temp
#SHOW temp2 is now $temp2
#SHOW %dbget($temp)
this seems to work fine, and does the query and the dbget
however,
the same alias to do
$temp2=%params
#SHOW Statting
$temp=%query(&short=$temp2,Weapons)
#SHOW temp is now $temp
#SHOW temp2 is now $temp2
#SHOW %dbget($temp)
does not work.
for some reason, the query will not run with a temporary variable
so specifically about the first thing i asked, why does cmud sometimes not want globals to be preceeded by @, and other times it does. This bit of confusion has caused about 95% of my compilation errors, and I am very excited to work it through. |

I believe your first problem has been answered already recently and I believe it is on the bug list. Should be able to search the forums and verify it.

This has also been answered on and off on the forums and in the help files but I will try and sum it up for you.
If I recall correctly with the exception of very few %functions the @ symbol is always required to "retrieve" the value of the @variable
#VAR myvar {my value}
and
myvar="my value"
These examples do not have the @ because we are "assigning" to the variable named myvar. The second example is just a shorthand form of the first.
#VAR myvar {value}
#VAR @myvar {second value}
This would create two variables the first one would be called myvar and the second one would be called the value of @myvar, in this case the variable would be called "value"
If you still don't understand put which examples of using @ and not using it you are getting confused by. |
