Hi all. I know that INK command needs Foreground Color,Background Color , but I´v got some PC at home and time ago I wrote some code where I could write:

ink rgb(255,0,0) and it works without any problem.

Now I`m just executing old code in one of my laptops and it gives me an error, but casually this error doesn´t appears in my last laptop.

I know that I should do:

ink rgb(255,0,0),1 but it is very frustrating that the compiler doesn´t stop the program in my new laptop in order I can correct the code.



cheers.

Are you sure?

Do you know what that 1 does?

It's not a 0 or 1 flag value, it's a colour value and for black it should be 0. Using 1 is a very strange colour value to use.

Are you confusing it with CLS RGB() which doesn't need the background colour value?

I've notice some people's snippets does not use a background color and when I run their codes I always have to add the ",0" at the end of each of them.

Well...eeh..a value of 0 in a range of (255)and a value of 1 is just the same ....I have ink rgb(0,0,0),1 and it still will be transparent when we se objetct

Yeah...!! that is what I mean...in two of my old PC and my last laptop, I don´t need to add this "0".... the compiler, run as if it is correct code,... and in another of my laptops , it gives me that error..

When we find that other people don´t use the background color, I suppose that they can run the code correctly in their PC.

Cheers.

Lol, IanM's plugins removes the need to specify a background colour on the INK command, so I imagine you haven't got it installed :p

If not... You've got me stumped
