Working IF statements!

[Deathbane27]

I need to go to work in a few minutes. I leave it to you to do something cool while I'm away.

<Button A="10" B="20" OnPress="Parent.Bool.Visible=(A)<(B)" ...
<Page OnShow="(script)" OnHide="(script)"

Yup, that's how you do IF statements. You set an event-triggering Boolean (aka true/false) property to the true/false value of the statement, and put a script in the object's corresponding event.

Supported operators:

==
<
>


Not supported directly:

!= (Replace with Parent.Bool.Visible=(!(A)==(B))
<= (Replace with Parent.Bool.Visible=(!(A)>(B))
>= (Replace with Parent.Bool.Visible=(!(A)<(B))

(I may be using more parenthesis than I actually need.)

One step closer to world domination!


Attached demonstration Persona window that doesn't do anything useful. And you can see that I stumbled on this while attempting to combine text strings.

You'll have to explain a bit more with the example, since me finding it on my own would probably take a bit Good find nonetheless if it can be used.

So

<Button
A="/GameData.Self.Power"
B="50"
OnPress="Emoter.Bool.Visible=(A)>(B)" }

<Page
Name="Emoter"
OnShow="laugh"
OnHide="cry" }

is the equivalent of

IF GameData.Self.Power > 50
THEN laugh
ELSE cry

?

[hirebrand]

Guess not. Trying a different way

[Zonx]

That should prove usefull

Hehe, personally I'd use a button with Activated as the switch.

Hierbrand, other than the flubbed bracket at the end, that should work unless gamedata.self.power returns a string it can't compair to a number.

Hmmm... now to figure out && and || !

You can't set a property to DynamicData. Here's how you'd do that:

<Progressbar Name="Power" DynamicData="/Gamedata.Self.Power"...
<Button OnPress="Parent.Trigger.Activated=(Parent.Power.Progress)>0.500"...
<Button name="Trigger" OnActivate="laugh" OnDeActivate="cry"...

Of course you'd actually have to have TWO triggers, one for activate, one for deactivate, because the OnActivate doesn't trigger if it's already activated, etc. But that's relatively minor.




More brainstorming:

Had someone request for a on-screen visual or sound when you are under attack. Best I could do was make it so when anything near you was attacked it brought up a window.

Now we can have that window check to see if your health is less than 100%, and if it is, make trigger some flashing and noise.

Often times when I'm first attacked the attack misses or is resisted. In cases such as these a health<100% check would return false even though I really am under attack. But it's a good start.

Text comparisons work!
(fubar)==(fubar)
returns true

If parent.text='fubar'
(parent.text)==(fubar)
is true

Simpler notation
parent.text=='fubar'


AND
(test1)&(test2) returns true if both tests are true
parent.text=='fubar'&1==1
is true
parent.text=='fubar'&1==2
is false

Bitwise
&! and !& appear to do the same as &.

OR and XOR
| and || seam to result in the second test being ignored. Resturns value of the first test. Same for ^
