Probable bug in /IF

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Nov 23, 2003 11:59 pm

/if $char(speed)<=0.2 /press Num_Lock | Makes the char move foward if standing still

/if $char(speed)<=.2 /press Num_Lock | Does nothing.

Thanks,
New Lurker...

Use search to find numeric comparisons, or read the readme.html in MQ1.

In other words, put an n between /if and $char

Actually, my point was that I'd found this line used in a dozen macros posted here. So it exists on god knows how many ppls machines and doesn't work for them either. Obviously the line doesn't work with out a 0 in front of the .2 for the comparison to complete so I guess I'll just repair my own version of MQ so other ppls broken macros work properly without having to alter them. :>

Sorry *Guest*, I guess you will have to just go ahead and perform your exercise in futility instead of listening to people who have a clue.

settle down...
hes just stating that 0.2 works and .2 requires the N, there was no offense ment by it im sure.

No problem...

1. .2 works
2. 0.2 doesn't

Answer: Use #1

This doesn't work. That's the point. Mr Lurker here thinks it works, but he's busily toggle his run on and off.

/if <arg><operator><arg> -- character comparison
/if n <arg><operator><arg> -- numeric comparison

Hiya dkaa!

I was giving an answer to theafkxper.

I knew it was because of the missing n, but no one wanted to listen to the suggestions by me and you so I just said the heck with it, and let them believe what they want to believe.

If they don't believe it's because of the missing n then let them try other ways.

wasnt arguing the issue, just stating that if he was correct, which it turns out he isnt, about

/if $char(speed)<=0.2 /press Num_Lock | Makes the char move foward if standing still

actually making the char move forward, then something is wrong, one way or another. Though he does have a point about it being in lots of macros
