How can I execute .cs file in the console

#1 Bring down the console with the '~' key (''' key on UK keyboards)

For example, to run the "init.cs" file from the FPS example in the console, type...

exec("fps/client/init.cs");

Obviously, just substitute for the file you want to evaluate.

If you want to execute a function then you simply type the function such as ...

MyFunction(123);

#2 Just to add to that, once you type something and enter it in the console, you can use the up arrow to cycle through things you've already entered. Saves a little typing.

edit: It will only cycle through things entered for the current launch of the game. It clears that list out after you exit.

#3 I don't know why some strange character added to my scripts when I execute the script in the console.


My original script (Part of)
============================
function getHours(%seconds)
{
%val = %seconds / 3600;
%val = mfloor(%val); //mfloor rounds numbers
Return %val;
}

Error Message (Part of)
=======================
fps/server/scripts/tutorial1.cs Line: 5 - Synatx error.
>>> Advanced script error report. Line 9.
>>> Some error context, with ## on sides of error halt:
%Val = mfloor(%val); //mfloor rounds numbers
Return %val:##
##
}

#4

%Val = mfloor(%val); //mfloor rounds numbers 
Return %val:

- You've used "%Val", it looks like it should be all in lower-case.
- The keyword "return" should be in all lower-case.
- You've put a full colon ":" at the end of the return statement, you should of put a semi-colon ";"!

Simply use...

return mFloor( %seconds / 3600 );

You should really be more careful with cases or adopt a more consistent style so that simple mistakes like these don't happen. Just a friendly suggestion Roy. :)

#5 Yeah, the colon seems to be the problem...
And you *should* force yourself to be careful with upper-/lowercase, although the Torque scripting engine isn't case-sensitive at all (so the uppercases above won't be causing any errors... but still... ;)

On a sidenote: JEEZ! this is my 1000th post on the GG forums... beer for everyone!! ;)

#6 And everyone one of them that I've read has been helpful!

Thanks Stefan, *beers* to you!
