I have a decent knowledge of Basic, and can program in most web languages, so it's not like I'm incompetent in the realm of programming. Let me just put that out there.

I am having issues with the variable system. I don't know what variable commands are actually in v.1.18, considering the Complete Syntax List sticky and the addendum.rtf file in my FPSC folder are telling me to different things. It looks to me that the Complete Syntax List shows the Project Blue variable commands, whereas the addendum still shows the old variable commands that Lee originally implemented.

I've heard around that with 1.18, Lee added the Project Blue variable system. With the gross lack of documentation on how to do anything with FPI's, as well as the difficult change list that they offer with the download, I'm entirely confused as to the syntax required to use user variables with my scripts.

Can anybody help me figure out how to use custom variables in v.1.18?

For example, could somebody help me with the following:

Declaring two global test variables, as well as some debugging text for each, ideally in my setuplevel.fpi file.

Also, are strings implented in v.1.18? The documentation for this is so God awful.

EDIT: Figured out variables for the most part, see post below:

Okay, so I finally got that debugging stuff working. Now I have a new problem.

I have tested my scripts multiple times, and it seems as if "varless=X" is testing if the variable is less than or equal to the number.

I simply added the following to my setuplevel.fpi (this is the abridged version, the full one also displays the value of this variable):



AND I DIE. Last time I checked, 5 is not less than 5.

That sounds liek a bug to me - the source definately shows that varless/greater is true when the variable is less/greater than and NOT equal to.

There may be some weird rounding effect by not stating a float value during setvar. Try setvar=money 5.0 instead of setvar=money 5

Just a thought.

PS: the syntax list is up-to-date. the PB variable commands are in v118. I do have an update nearly ready which will include gunspec and flakspec commands.

PPS sorry for hi-jacking your thread.

I just tried that, it still doesn't work. Is the entire variable system broken? I literally only changed that part of the entire setuplevel.fpi.

Can somebody add this code to their setuplevel.fpi and tell me if it really is a glitch in the software?



Of course, put the states in the correct spots. I know that's not the problem.

For the epic triple post, I'd like to add that I'm back where I started, not being able to get that huduservar thing. I've even copied and pasted scripts Ched80 and some other guys have posted on here and it doesn't work. I legitimately had it working, and I come back to my FPSC today, and the setuplevel.fpi script has reset back to default, for no apparent reason.

Not only has he double, triple and quadruple posted in this thread, but he has personally authored 6 of 8 posts. It is with great pleasure that I present the the first and highly coveted, Annual Quadruple Post Award, to our very own Inspire. Congratulations on your well deserved win and new title.



Sorry, I don't know much about variables.

It's an honor, really. I'd like to thank the fans, my producer, and my mom and dad for being there every step of the way.

But really, I'm a 3D artist, not a script guy.

From fpsc source it looks like VARLESS is returning true if the variable is less or equal. ( conda is your variable value and aiconditionseq(seq).valueb is the value you want to compare to. airesult is the...result 0 or 1)
