Hi

I have some questions about #include and function.

I have a message error with my code (I tes the trial agk version before buy) :

main.agc

+ Code Snippet

#include "structures.agc"
#include "global.agc"

// library (image, sprite...)
#include "lib.agc"

//***************************************
//              IMAGES - SPRITE
//***************************************

AddImageUi()

/* Mob */

for i = 1 to 5
    g_Mob [ i ].iSprite = CreateSprite ( 100 )
    g_Mob [ i ].life    = 10
    g_Mob [ i ].speed   = 3
    g_Mob [ i ].degat   = 1
    g_Mob [ i ].x       = -100 - 100 * i
    g_Mob [ i ].y       = -100
    SetSpriteposition(g_Mob [ i ].iSprite,-100 - 100 * i,-100 )
next i



/* the loop */ 
do

  sync()

loop

structures.agc
simple structure (type/entype) code

global.agc
global variable, dim if needed

lib.agc

+ Code Snippet

function AddImageUi( )

    /* Decors */
    // load the map
    LoadImage ( 1, "map01.jpg" )
    CreateSprite ( 1, 1 )


    /* Menus */

    LoadImage ( 4, "btn.png" )

    for i = 0 to 3
        CreateSprite ( 4+i, 4 )
        FixSpriteToScreen ( 4+i, 1 )
        SetSpriteShape(4+i, 3)
        SetSpritePosition ( 4+i, 64*i+2, 0 )
    next i

    n=5
    loadimage( n, "money.png")
    CreateSprite ( n, n )
    FixSpriteToScreen (n, 1 )
    SetSpriteShape(n, 3)
    SetSpritePosition ( n, width - 100, 0 )

    /* Monsters */
    LoadImage ( 100, "mob01.png" )

endfunction

the message :
could not understand command at line 36

How do I add function and #include in my files ?

Thank you for your answer.

I'm probably missing something, but I can't see anything wrong with what your doing, should work IMO!

Could it be...

+ Code Snippet

/* Decors */
...
/* Menus */
...
/* Monsters */

Which are not normal comments?

It would help if we had the line numbers

Edit:

Forget the comment about comments, I just tried this and they work - always learning eh?

So perhaps the space after the call but before the brackets?

+ Code Snippet

LoadImage ( 4, "btn.png" )

Apart from that, as Van B says, the code looks fine.

Edit: Edit:

Another thought, are any of the spaces actually tab characters - I've had this in the past, eg. you cant use <tab> after #constant, but you can use it after the constant name

Remember to have blank lines at the end of every file.

SetSpriteposition should be SetSpritePosition.

Also you shouldn't have a space before your array brackets. I've no idea what AppGameKit will make of that.

Hang on a mo!

There are 33 lines in the posted main.acg.

Assuming the include files are pulled in, in the order they are included and there is nothing else we are not seeing, then the error on line 36 is likely to be in the first include; structures.agc.

Which isn't posted.

So I'm not sure we can be of much help here.

Hi
Thank you for your answer.

I have modified my code (with all your remarks

), but I still have errors or crash...
I don't understand why, is the trial version stable enough to test ?

My new code is :

    g_Mob[ i ].degat = 1
    g_Mob[ i ].x = -100 - 100 * i
    g_Mob[ i ].y = -100
    SetSpritePosition ( g_Mob[ i ].iSprite, -100 - 100 * i, -100 )

Ahh, remember when you use an include, you have to call a subroutine or function to actually do anything, like in your structures and globals code, make a structures_init and globals_init subroutine, and call them before doing anything else. The code won't execute on it's own, so includes have consist of routines or functions that you call. Usually I'd have an init routine and several functions in an included file.

I am the one who knocks...

@Van B : thank you a lot, I have understand

.

I use include in some other langage, and it's not the same technic here.
The #include is just to use function, and not file.

Thank you again very much !

Types, constants and globals can be placed outside functions and subroutines in included files. This was an old bug.

Include, just copy the content of that file, and add it to the END of the main file, so they end up not being run, unless called, like Van B said.

I find that using the Add Source File option in the editor will add a corrupted file which causes any code to fail.

I have to copy all the code from the newly added source file, open it in notepad++ delete everything, paste the copied code back into it then save it before the code will run successfully.

(Weirdly enough, I get the same issue in the DBPro editor too...)
