I still didn't look at it no no no not me lol! Might be best if you take baby steps by writing small code first then progress into the full script. I'm waiting so I can see results working with short scripts and trying all the new goodies it can do.

Lol I couldn't resist. I'm going to tear into this like a bucket of KFC.

lol!

Hell yes!

I've made some progress.

This very simple comparison kept throwing an error:

Code: Select all

if(get_val(MOV_Y_AXIS) <= -97)

I noticed it worked fine when I removed the comparison:

Code: Select all

if(get_val(MOV_Y_AXIS))

It then dawned on me that it was because it wasn't comparing two int values, so I converted the button press value to an int:

Code: Select all

if((int) get_val(MOV_Y_AXIS) <= -97)

And it worked! I wish J2Kbr was here to say whether I'm on the right track or not, it feels like I'm hacking my script into oblivion here lol

I don't think casting to int would be a problem, I started doing this aswell but due to lots of lines in my script it was easier to change a few ints to fix32.

If you don't want to do lots of casting and keep your variables as int, you could always create and use your own function:

Code: Select all

int get_val2(uint8 input)
{
    return (int) get_val(input);
}

I started doing this as well but due to lots of lines in my script it was easier to change a few ints to fix32.

How do you do fix32? Bear in mind I'm not a programmer!

Add a f after the number, for example:

Code: Select all

main
{
   if (get_val(BUTTON_1) > 20f)
   {
        // do stuff
   }
}

Same applies for defining a variable:

Code: Select all

main
{
   fix32 some_variable = 20f;

   if (get_val(BUTTON_1) > some_variable)
   {
        // do stuff
   }
}

}

In that last example, do you still need the "fix32" there since you've already added an "f"?

Yup, this is because we are declaring a new variable of type fix32 with the name 'some_variable' and a value of '20f'.

It basically goes like this:
<data type> <variable name> = <value>;

So If you wanted an integer:

Code: Select all

int some_variable = 20;

or fix32:

Code: Select all

fix32 some_variable = 20f;

or boolean:

Code: Select all

bool some_variable = FALSE;

Cool thanks for that, I'm slowly building up my knowledge in C as I do this. It's a good learning experience:)

I was quite pleased that I managed to solve the int problem on my own!

Glad to help, I generally deal with C# and Java (which IMO are pretty similar to C in some areas) so I have the basics but I'm still learning as well.

i tried to convert my old fifa16 script and after some trial and error it finally compiled without errors.
my old fifa script for T1 had a lot of commented code because it used all 100% T1 memory, now i uncommented the code for T2 and it says it is using only 14%

GPC: Memory usage: Static: 152 bytes (14.84%), Dynamic: 16 bytes (1.56%)

lol there is a lot of space in T2.
