Bug T3D 1.1 Beta 1&2: Issue with "?" if statement + Code to reproduce - LOGGED

by elvince · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/13/2010 (3:04 am) · 10 replies

Build: 1.1 Beta 2 & 1

Platform: Windows 7 64 bit,

Target:all

issue:
When using such statement I have always %scale set to 0 or 1:
%scale=(%obj.DEX/%this.level >1) ? 1 : (%obj.DEX/%this.level);

If I put
%scale=(%obj.DEX/%this.level >1) ? 1 : 2;
I will have 1 or 2.

if I echo (%obj.DEX/%this.level >1) ? 1 : (%obj.DEX/%this.level) the value is correct.


Code to reproduce the issue:
function test()
{
   %level= 4;
   %dex=2;
   %test= (%dex/%level >1)?1:%dex/%level;
   echo("test:"@%test);
   %test= %dex/%level;
   %test= %test>1?1:%test;
   echo("test:"@%test);
   echo((%dex/%level >1)?1:%dex/%level);
}
Result are: 0 0 0.5
When you need the result in a variable, the ? works if the final value is not a variable.
Echo function it's working perfectly.
ex: %test= (%dex/%level >1)?1:4; will put 4 as output for %test

WorkAround: Put 1.0 instead of 1.

Fix: n/A

Hi,

Your echo statement is not correct.
Use:
echo ((%obj.DEX/%this.level >1) ? 1 : (%obj.DEX/%this.level))

I use Echo as a verb not the function^^ but in all case, the issue is here except if you tell me that's everything is ok on your side!

thanks,

What are the values of %obj.DEX and %this.level? Could be a problem with their values.

for example: Dex =4 and level = 2.

the thing is when I echo the formula value, it's working fine, it's just when I need to put this value in a variable where it's not working.

There might be a problem with the script engine reading the formula. Try this instead:
%test = %obj.DEX / %this.level;
%scale = (%test > 1) ? 1 : %test;
echo(%test);
echo(%scale);

Could also be a precision error, I believe there was a previous post about precision being off.

function test()
{
   %level= 4;
   %dex=2;
   %test= (%dex/%level >1)?1:%dex/%level;
   echo("test:"@%test);
   %test= %dex/%level;
   %test= %test>1?1:%test;
   echo("test:"@%test);
   echo((%dex/%level >1)?1:%dex/%level);
}
Result are: 0 0 0.5
When you need the result in a variable, the ? works if the final value is not a variable.
But in Echo function it's working perfectly.
ex: %test= (%dex/%level >1)?1:4; will put 4 as output for %test

I hope GG will be able to fix this in Beta2!

It's a precision issue.

Do like this:
function test()
{
   %level= 4;
   %dex=2;
   %test= (%dex/%level >1)?1.0:%dex/%level;
   echo("test:"@%test);
   %test= %dex/%level;
   %test= %test>1?1.0:%test;
   echo("test:"@%test);
   echo((%dex/%level >1)?1:%dex/%level);
}

thanks for those feedback.

I hope this fix that already taken into account. In the mean time, the 1.0 will do the job.
