I've been getting a lot of errors from Alint in my scripts. All of them original when I assign a string to a variable. Is something else wrong, or do I have to use buffer calls instead of assigning strings to variables (I really want to make sure this is the problem before I go over all of my scripts)? -------------------- We interrupt this scheduled quote to bring you a rant.

char string[] = "Text"; char* string = "Text"; Or maybe there's a different string datatype used in BoA. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Umm... string = "string";There's an error for every instance of this, at least in Alint.EDIT: Beat to the post... by two seconds. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will never tell the hero "Yes I was the one who did it, but you'll never be able to prove it to that incompetent old fool."

Are you sure the variable string is the correct datatype (declared as a string)? -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

As far as I can tell, you can only assign a string in that way in the variables section. So for example variables; string test = "Test."; Would be legitamate, but if you tried to write test = "test"; Somewhere in the body of the script it returns an error. If you need to do this then I think you have to use get_buffer_text(). Edit: The problem isn't with Alint, I tried to assign a string in this way and got a missing semicolon error when I tested it in BOA (No, I wasn't missing a semicolon, I think its either the wrong format or just not a valid way to assign strings).

Yes, I did declare it as a string. Guess I'm going to have to change my code. The only thing is that I'm getting errors from scripts I alpha tested before, script I could have sworn worked fine before. Oh well. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: If my mad scientist/wizard tells me he has almost perfected my Superweapon but it still needs more testing, I will wait for him to complete the tests.

You didn't call your variable "string", did you? Because I'm certain that would cause errors... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

Don't worry, I didn't. Anyway, went over my code, changed everything so it used the buffer, and now it works. Why assigning a string to a declared variable gets a semicolon error is beyond me. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will not appoint a relative to my staff of advisors.

Sounds like a possible bug, perhaps it should be added to the list. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
