Keyboard Console Methods Syntax

by Gordon Marsh · in General Discussion · 07/10/2006 (6:27 pm) · 2 replies

All,

I am having a bit of trouble with Torque Script syntax for calling a ConsoleMethod when binding to a keyboard key.

I can call my ConsoleMethod successfully with no parameters such as:

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "x", "", "$player.func1();");

but as soon as I try to pass a variable such as:

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "x", "", "$player.func1('a');");

the function is called but 'a' is not passed... when I examine the parameter in the console method I get one of those funny little squares and 43. I'm not sure if this is caused by an incorrect type being passed, or just garbage.

Any help much appreciated!

MoveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "x", "", "$player.func1();", %arg1, %arg2, "another argument");

Anthony, I got a message back regarding incorrect number of arguments when I tried your code, but thanks for trying!

I managed to get around my issue by using "" quotation marks instead of '' ones - otherwise the console method gets confused!

I didn't use these before as it fouled up because I didn't use escape characters in front of the quotes as below:

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "x", "$player.func1(\"x\");", "");
