What are you attempting to do here?
11/20/2011 (9:24 pm)
There are more than problems with syntax in your script. You are comparing an integer value and then setting it to a boolean value. Granted, this will compile but it won't do what you are wanting it to.if (%thistype == $type[%count] ){%thistype=true;}What are you attempting to do here?
#5
if( %thistype == $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType )
is there no way to get the $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType into a function?
11/21/2011 (3:18 am)
so other then....if( %thistype == $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType )
is there no way to get the $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType into a function?

Few years back I've done one helper function for debugging complex stuff I was prototyping:function testForObjectType(%mask)
{
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::CameraObjectType) echo("CameraObjectType");
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::CorpseObjectType) echo("CorpseObjectType");
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::DamagableItemObjectType) echo("DamagableItemObjectType");
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::DebrisObjectType) echo("DebrisObjectType");
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::EnvironmentObjectType) echo("EnvironmentObjectType");
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::ExplosionObjectType) echo("ExplosionObjectType");
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::ForceFieldObjectType) echo("ForceFieldObjectType");
if (%mask & $TypeMasks::GameBaseObjectType) echo("GameBaseObjectType");

Another:

Can't fit it in one post.. so, continuing:Another:

Notice: this is from a modified engine, so those functions can cover not all possible objects types defined by engine, or may include some that are not in engine at all. So, be careful when taking this.

Here is an example of how to setup such "helpers":function isValidStaticObject(%obj)
{
if(!isObject(%obj))
{
error("isValidStaticObject() error: object" SPC %obj SPC "not found or you have passed not an object at all!");
return false;
}
if(!%obj.isMethod("getType"))
{
error("isValidStaticObject() error: object" SPC %obj SPC "doesn't have getType() method, so it's not valid!");
return false;
}
return ( (%obj.getType() & $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType) != 0 );
}

Thanks Fyodor, I kind of wondered about if statements instead of array and loops.

In order for your script to be usable it first needs to saved as a .cs. Next remove the return types, TorqueScript doesn't make use of them, and preface your functions with "function ".
Example:
function foo(%arg1, %arg2) { if(%arg1 < %arg2) echo("Foo"); else echo("Bar"); }Scripts are loaded using the exec() command, you could consider it a psuedo include but it's best not to think of it that way (I did when first started out years ago and it resulted in some sloppy code). The exec() command simply loads the script and once a script has been loaded the functions in it are available for use in any other script as well.
I highly recommend checking out the new FPS Tutorial, especially the section on scripting. That will help you get a better understanding of how TorqueScript works and is a bit more in-depth than my quick explanation.
