Problems with globals.

[antstubell]

Having an issue with assigning values to globals. This function is part of a large script but this is the part that is the problem. Properties are there just I didn't show them here.

So the variable SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder holds a value temporarily depending on which shrine has been activated. I've tested this variable and it does change depending on the shrine activated 1, 2, 3/

The variables SMTgv_ShrineActivated01, SMTgv_ShrineActivated02 and SMTgv_ShrineActivated03 (not seen here because I hit the problem) will then store the value of the most recently activated shrine.

What I intended the script to do was that if SMTgv_ShrineActivated01 was 'empty' default is 0 then it would store the value of the last activated shirne. Then next time this function is called if SMTgv_ShrineActivated01 is 'filled' not a value of 0 then SMTgv_ShrineActivated02 will store the most recently activated shrine value.

In essence the 3 global values between them will have stored a 3 digit 'code'. 1,2,3 or 231 or 321 etc. These values can be checked later to do other stuff.

Problem - The first shrine activated, say it gives a value of 2, is stored in SMTgv_ShrineActivated01 but on checking in console SMTgv_ShrineActivated02 also has a value of 2.

Need help on this, again it could be script blindness - been on this script for hours.

 

 

Function AssignVal()
debug.notification("Assigning a Value.")

If SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.GetValue() == 0; if the first value is not set > set the first value
SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.SetValue(SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder.GetValue())
EndIf
If (SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.GetValue() != 0) && (SMTgv_ShrineActivated02.GetValue() == 0)
SMTgv_ShrineActivated02.SetValue(SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder.GetValue())
EndIf

EndFunction

Use ElseIf in between them. I believe the Set is not taking place fast enough for the second block's Get and thus also returning true the first time around and setting the second global.

[antstubell]

No, it's not that. Changed function to this but still second global takes the same value as the first.

 

Function AssignVal()
debug.notification("Assigning a Value.")

If SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.GetValue() == 0; if the first value is not set > set the first value
SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.SetValue(SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder.GetValue())
Utility.Wait(1)
ElseIf (SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.GetValue() != 0) && (SMTgv_ShrineActivated02.GetValue() == 0)
SMTgv_ShrineActivated02.SetValue(SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder.GetValue())
EndIf

EndFunction

 

 

EDIT

Fixed it. As I said it is a long script so I guessed that somewhere earlier in the script a variable was not resetting or resetting at the wrong point. I amended the function to the following and now it works. Not sure if the utility.Wait is necessary now but not hurting.

 

Function AssignVal()
debug.notification("Assigning a Value.")

If SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.GetValue() == 0; if the first value is not set > set the first value
SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.SetValue(SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder.GetValue())
Utility.Wait(0.5)
ElseIf (SMTgv_ShrineActivated01.GetValue() != 0) && (SMTgv_ShrineActivated02.GetValue() == 0)
SMTgv_ShrineActivated02.SetValue(SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder.GetValue())
EndIf
Utility.Wait(0.5)
SMTgv_ShrineTempValHolder.SetValue(0)

EndFunction

Glad you found a solution.
