[Fixed for V0.39] Counters with no action and value of zero

Post by **Sophia** » Fri May 19, 2006 9:01 pm

Counters can't seem to have both no action and a value of zero, at least as set up in the editor. The compiler complains vigorously.

Nope - can't reproduce this. Can set it a zero count, null action in the editor and then compile it without any warnings, let alone errors.

What ends up in your text file?

This ends up in the text file:

Code: Select all

ref000304-1	WALLITEM_COUNTER			3	4	0	CENTRE

I get this:

Code: Select all

---- Reading file "Modules/test.txt" ----

Well, the compile error will inevitably follow from what ends up in the text file - so the problem lies in the editor (rather than the compiler).

What you should have got (and what I get) is:

Code: Select all

ref000000-1 WALLITEM_COUNTER 0 0 0 CENTRE COUNT=(0) ACTION=(NULL) TARGET=(NULL)

So...what's the difference between how you create your counter, and I create it.

I'm right clicking on a wall, selecting edit, adding a counter, editing the counter to check that it's got None/zero parameters, closing all the menus and saving. What are you doing![/quote]

I'm just adding the counter. I don't touch it. So, none of that stuff apparently gets put in.

Ah right; that would explain it.

Now fixed for V0.39.
