Issues Help Desk / Re: Turning On A Variable Disables Character Movement
« on: February 15, 2018, 11:04:37 pm »
In the title screen of the game, I have an object containing this code in its "Create" event.
Then in the level, following, there is another object made specifically for declaring these global variables again; except as 0. I was told that it's better to declare global variables as 1 initially, but the way I made my game in GM, they were supposed to start at 0.
Code: [Select]
globalvar Vacuum;
Vacuum = 1;
globalvar Fuel;
Fuel = 1;;Then in the level, following, there is another object made specifically for declaring these global variables again; except as 0. I was told that it's better to declare global variables as 1 initially, but the way I made my game in GM, they were supposed to start at 0.

I'm bumping this to say that I've never gotten this error before, so far as I know. Why declaring some global variables would cause it, I also don't know.
I also converted everything involving global variables (I think) to code. Granted, it was GML, so that might not work completely.

I'm getting this error:
I wasn't sure whether "Vacuum" is supposed to be enclosed in those "greater and lesser" signs. I've tried it other ways, but all seem to return errors. Also, can an "If" statement in a block code function on its own in tandem with a Drag & Drop action, or do the condition and action have to be in the same code block?
Edit: For whatever reason, I'm also getting new errors about an action I placed in one object's creation event. It is supposed to cause another object to get created at its X,Y position, but now I'm getting a message that says:
That is really odd, since so far as I know, there is only one such object.

I'll give the first error as an example. It's a collision event. The first D&D item is "If globalvar Vacuum is equal to 1". These sorts of events must specify what that "applies to"; I've selected Self. As global variables are not confined to any one object, possibly that's what's causing the error. At any rate, here is the error:

Moving along, can I reference global variables with drag and drop? It seems doing so causes errors.

Thank you, and I think I'm making progress; that is, turning on the variable no longer stops the character from moving.
However, to finish implementing them, I want to double-check whether Enigma still adheres to GM's syntax on global variables; that is, after they're declared, can they be referenced without the word, "global"?

Ok; so the bits involving Vacuum aren't text code, but Drag & Drop, but I can provide some things.
I copied the text that appeared in Debug, and so here are the parts involving Vacuum.
And as to the Drag & Drop stuff in the actual game. First for the object that has the vacuum.
In Create:
In Press Q:
In Release Q:
Now for the objects that get vacuumed.
In Normal Step:
In Collision with object_Mouth:

I apologize for taking so long to respond to this; I was on a trip.
The variable's name is "Vacuum". Incidentally, when it loaded up, I also saw this alert:
What are "explicit braces"?

Self-quote, from the other thread:
I'd appreciate all the help I can get in digging up what might be causing this issue. Admittedly, that might not be too easy without me providing the game, but maybe we can work something out. Note that I actually can provide the code for the parts of my game that have this problem.
I may have discovered another bug. For some reason, turning on a user-defined variable (by holding a button) messes with a character's movement. The character either stops moving, or moves in weird ways. I haven't been able to duplicate this in my experiment file (the "Jump" one), but I'll keep trying to figure out what's wrong. In the meantime, if this helps, the character's movement uses variables as well; the hspeed and vspeed variables in the "Step" event.Last I checked, this was never solved in the original thread I posted it in. That's partially my fault. As I am having this issue in a game I made in GM8 and hope to sell--and was also hoping to port to Enigma--I declined to provide the file. I attempted to duplicate the bug with a new game specially made to duplicate this issue, but I couldn't.

So that implies that you've seen such things before. I'd rather not destroy and replace the object, since that opens up a bunch of other cans of worms, and the current object has too much complex code and things pointing to it not to cause errors from its destruction. To do this would necessitate rewriting most of the code from scratch, and probably figuring out new ways to do things I had down fine. None of that pausing happens in Game Maker, so a bug is a bug and a bug deserves research and repair. Still, any insight into what causes this, and is there a way to fix it that doesn't involve destroying and replacing the player object?

You might need an io_clear() somewhere
Possibly so, but what do you mean by "swapping"? I'm not turning an instance into another instance, of that's what you meant. There are two objects that utilize the one's offending variable, but to test out the bug, I deleted the other object, and it still happens.

« on: September 15, 2017, 06:05:26 pm »This is definitely a bug, the question is what part.
So the way this works is the lgmplugin that plugs ENIGMA into LateralGM converts all your actions to GML code before sending it to ENIGMA. ENIGMA then converts the GML over to C++.
https://github.com/enigma-dev/lgmplugin/blob/master/org/enigma/EnigmaWriter.java#L1189
Judging by the output in C:\ProgramData\ENIGMA\Preprocessor_Environment_Editable\IDE_EDIT_objectfunctionality.h the bug appears to be in the plugin, because there should actually be a with(-1) meaning self around the action_move_to.Code: (cpp) [Select]variant enigma::OBJ_object_Arrow::myevent_step()
{
{ if (timeline_running && timeline_speed!=0) advance_curr_timeline(); }
with((0))
if(action_if_variable(enigma::varaccess_Jump(int(self)), 1, 0))
{
argument_relative = 0;
action_move_to(enigma::glaccess(int(object_Ball))-> x + 5, enigma::glaccess(int(object_Ball))-> y - 20);
}
with((0))
if(action_if_variable(enigma::varaccess_Jump(int(self)), 0, 0))
{
argument_relative = 0;
action_move_to(100, 100);
}
;
return 0;
}
This is a new issue that I am surprised wasn't reported before, either way I've filed a bug on the lgmplugin:
https://github.com/enigma-dev/lgmplugin/issues/54
Not sure when it may be fixed, busy working on sumptin' TOP secret so you won't have to worry about this problem ever again.
Thank you; that worked! I also went a lot faster when I realized I could click on a close bracket and be shown where it opened.
