So I found 2 more bugs (in the interpreter part of the extention rather than the live part)
1) show_message()
and some other stuff doesn't automatically convert real to string (original GM function does)
2) inst.value = other_value
doesn't work
luckily, as a user you can find workarouns (use variable_instance_set() and string() functions), but this still might be a bit annoying and hard to debug (it just silently crashes/doesn't execute code after a complile error)
Here's the example string:
I'm using live snippets
The context:
Card game.
I'm loading all the cards from JSON files. Each card has a bunch of characteristics, including "effect" (which is a string of GML code, containing what the card actually does)
Then, the oCardLoader, when loading a card, assigns it a live snippet, containing the effect string.
live_snippet_create()
is called inside oCardLoader
effect()
is called inside the card struct
With this setup, I'm having these errors. Pretty sure it's not too specific to the project (although I may be wrong)
I wouldn't be asking for a sample project if it was as easy to reproduce
oSmallSlime Create event:
friendly = 4;
Test code:
var s = live_snippet_create(@'
var slime = instance_create_layer(0, 0, "Instances", oSmallSlime);
show_debug_message(["slime", slime, slime.object_index, object_get_name(slime.object_index)]);
show_debug_message(["friendly", slime.friendly]);
show_message(slime.friendly);
slime.friendly = false;
return slime;
');
if (live_snippet_call(s)) { var slime = live_result; show_debug_message(["slime", slime, slime.object_index, object_get_name(slime.object_index)]); show_debug_message(["friendly", slime.friendly]);
} else show_debug_message(live_result);
Output:
[ "slime",100003,3,"oSmallSlime" ] [ "friendly",4 ] [ "slime",100003,3,"oSmallSlime" ] [ "friendly",0 ]
(unless I fixed this in 1.0.27 without noticing)
