Script Argument Error

[CaptainManiac]

So,i need to make a script that chenges the wall texture of the wall it is applied and when i put a string type argument it shows me invalid variable type error.Why?I am uzing GZDB Latest version.

I suspect strings aren't valid in this context, since they're highly limited in ACS in general. If you want something to call from scripts, you can try making it a function, but I don't think its possible to call a script with custom string parameters in a map even in udmf.

 

Also that terminate; is superfluous, it'll terminate automatically.

I am new to ACS, so I don't know if this is possible, but maybe you can make a global array of strings, and then pass an index into that array as an argument to your script.

Please post your code.

script "ChangeWallTexture"(int side,int sidedef,str name)
{
    SetLineTexture(0,side,sidedef,name);
    terminate;
}

 

 

 

and it is meant to change the texture of the line it is activated by to an user-specified texture,that way a computer or a single screen can receive crack effect,but even the effect isn't coming up.

I think you're missing the script type. It should probably be (void). That's the first thing I notice.

 

Edit: I guess not. The example doesn't use void. Sorry. I can't help, but I think I'm going to look at it for a minute.

The (void) is replaced by three arguments,the side,the sidedef and the texture,two ints and one str.

You're not literally putting "int side, int sidedef" etc in there, are you? You need actual values there. Look at this page:

Here's what worked for me.

#include "zcommon.acs"
Script 1 (void)
{
    SetLineTexture(1, side_front, TEXTURE_BOTTOM, "-");

}

This replaced my switch texture with nothing.

Hm,well,i need to make many copies of the script for each line i want cracked :(.Thanks for your support. :)

Just comment them out. Use, // or if it's longer than one line /* */.

Script 1 (void)
{
     //Setlinetexture(*,*,*,*); //This will not be looked at.

     .....
     .....
}

/*
Script 1 (void)
{
Setlinetexture(*,*,*,*);
}
*/ None of this will be looked at.

i will make many scripts to be used for different lines,deleted the previous lines.
