ADLENGINE BUILD 1.1.55.4... NOW LIVE! = FOR LOOP, WHICH.. IS (SELECT CASE), ARRAYS & BUG FIXES

Lots of cool new stuff in this build.

WHICH.. IS (select case)

[how to use] first add IS statements by doing the following
isXYZ:do something

IS accepts boolean 0-1, true/false, numbers 0-9, y/n or can also accept custom naming.

e.g.

is0:room is dark
is1:room is light

or..

isneg:narrate -1
isneutral:narrate 0
ispos: narrate 1


To run a WHICH check:
which %cranelever%

FOR LOOPS

FOR loops allow you to loop a task X amount of times.

e.g.

To set a FOR LOOP:

for:do testscript


To run a FOR LOOP:

for 0-10


Example Script Content To Run:

testscript:
narrate %x%;
~x+1


Where x in my example are array entries containing simple map data 0/1s

ARRAYS

Array like data can be defined using variables. For example:


#map[0]=0
#map[1]=1
#map[2]=0

#map[0][0]=1
#map[1][0]=0
#map[2][0]=1

#map[0][0][1]=0
#map[1][0][4]=1
#map[2][0][7]=1


See complex specials below.

'COMPLEX%SPECIALS%'

Complex specials first swap out any data surrounded by %% and then surrounded by ' '

For example:

~pX=%player.x%;
~pY=%player.y%;
~pZ=%player.z%;
#'map[%pX%][%pY%][%pZ%]'=BUNKER ENTRANCE

Currently it works using temp vars as above not direct calls to player.var or target.var.

DELAY x

You can now specify a delay before the next script action processes. The delay runs until the delay value reaches 0, subtracting 1 each tick. The value can hold any number but bear in mind too high a number will result in too long a delay!

short delay:
delay 100

long delay:
delay 1000

NEW TIMER COMMANDS

START TIMER - resumes an active timer.
stop timer 0

STOP TIMER - pauses an active timer.
stop timer 10

ERASE TIMER - deletes an active timer.
erase timer 5

Timers will need to be micromanaged. The best way would be to create a variable pointer to timers you want to have control over. Timers are incremented from 0 and their data is stored in session_map_data. Type edit session to view.


#healtimer=1;
start timer %healtimer%

BUGS FIXED

TIMED EVENTS are now working again!
after x second do something
every x minutes do something

DELETE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS
Delete no longer deletes multiple characters occasionally when pressing backspace.

DELETE KEY:
no longer deletes entire code entry while text is being rendered, was most notable when adlengine was loading if you made mistakes trying to enter commands and had to delete characters.
