Passing variables in scripting

I'd like to split up some of my code in scripts but for some reason my script will hang if I try to pass variables. E.G.

Code: Select all

void $functionOne$()
{
	int aVariable = 0;
	smRead(VariableIDs.A_VARIABLE, aVariable);
	
	functionTwo(aVariable);
}

void functionTwo(int aVariable)
{
	// blank
}

The above will fail to run, as will this:

Code: Select all

void $functionOne$()
{
	
	functionTwo(0);
}

void functionTwo(int aVariable)
{
	// blank
}

However, this runs fine:

Code: Select all

void $functionOne$()
{
	int aVariable = 0;
	smRead(VariableIDs.A_VARIABLE, aVariable);
	
	functionTwo();
}

void functionTwo()
{
	// blank
}

which makes me assume we are not allowed to pass variables, which would be rather silly as that limits a key feature in using functions and this was pulled directly from the Scripting Syntax Reference:

So it would seem AngelScript allows you to do this, am I doing something wrong or can we not pass variables into a function with what ever version of AngelScript is implemented in PowerVision? Hopefully it's apparent this isn't my actual code, but functionally it works the same. I can provide the whole script or a project file if you'd like.

Thanks,

Hi Coleby,

You can do it. I'm not sure how you determine that it isn't working. I'm sending a config that reads a database variable to a local, passes the local to a different function, increments the passed in variable then writes to the database variable. This is probably an oversimplification of what you are trying to do, but maybe it will help you find what is going wrong.

Press the top right button to fire the event.

How is this different from what you are doing?

Hmm...

While downloading 2.8 patch 3 to open your example I created a blank configuration and tried again and it did indeed work. I modified the code from when I originally asked so I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. Probably a semi-colon missing somewhere or something else equally dumb.

Thanks for your help.
