Posting Code into Forum Topics

[UK_Wildcats]

I have recently seen a lot of people posting code directly into topics. The code is more difficult to read, follow and it loses the GPC scripting format when you copy and paste it. Below is an example of how the code looks using both methods.

Copying and pasting code using the "GPC Code" option

Code: Select all

define TURBO_BUTTON = PS4_CIRCLE;

int doubletap_stage = 0;
int doubletap_timing;
int turbo_toggle = FALSE;

main {
    if(doubletap_stage == 0) {
        if(get_val(TURBO_BUTTON)) doubletap_stage = 1;
    } else if(doubletap_stage == 1) {
        if(!get_val(TURBO_BUTTON)) { doubletap_timing = 0; doubletap_stage = 2; }
    } else if(doubletap_stage == 2) {
        if(get_val(TURBO_BUTTON)) { doubletap_stage = 1; turbo_toggle = !turbo_toggle; }
        doubletap_timing = doubletap_timing + get_rtime();
        if(doubletap_timing > 100) doubletap_stage = 0;
    }
    if(turbo_toggle) {
        combo_run(TurboButton);
    }
}

combo TurboButton {
    set_val(TURBO_BUTTON, 100);
    wait(40);
    set_val(TURBO_BUTTON, 0);
    wait(30);
    set_val(TURBO_BUTTON, 0);
}

Copying and pasting directly into the topic.

define TURBO_BUTTON = PS4_CIRCLE;

int doubletap_stage = 0;
int doubletap_timing;
int turbo_toggle = FALSE;

main {
if(doubletap_stage == 0) {
if(get_val(TURBO_BUTTON)) doubletap_stage = 1;
} else if(doubletap_stage == 1) {
if(!get_val(TURBO_BUTTON)) { doubletap_timing = 0; doubletap_stage = 2; }
} else if(doubletap_stage == 2) {
if(get_val(TURBO_BUTTON)) { doubletap_stage = 1; turbo_toggle = !turbo_toggle; }
doubletap_timing = doubletap_timing + get_rtime();
if(doubletap_timing > 100) doubletap_stage = 0;
}
if(turbo_toggle) {
combo_run(TurboButton);
}
}

combo TurboButton {
set_val(TURBO_BUTTON, 100);
wait(40);
set_val(TURBO_BUTTON, 0);
wait(30);
set_val(TURBO_BUTTON, 0);
}

Great sticky!

Thank you. I wanted to make it easier for people to post code without losing the formating and making for long posts.

Great idea, took me a few posts to get it right. Some of them become really hard to read. Should help people out a lot.

Thank you

"Thank you" is not a GPC keyword, you should comment then:

Code: Select all

/* Thank you */

lol
