well since my project is currently stalled from 3d loading times... i may as well be constructive and help test for errors.

this seems to be strange but i can effectively have 4 errors un caught with this sample code:

+ Code Snippet

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "glitchestest" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 )
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 )

setobjectimage(0,0,0)

do
    

    Print( ScreenFPS() )
    Sync()
loop

-i did not load an image ....error 1
-i did not load or make an object ...error 2
-0 is not a valid object number ...error 3
-0 is not a valid image number ...error 4

and it still runs

second post: 3d object errors

+ Code Snippet

// Project: glitchestest 
// Created: 2015-01-18

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "glitchestest" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 )
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 )

setobjectimage(0,0,0)

do
	a#=getobjectx(1)
	b#=getobjecty(0)
	print(a#)
	print(b#)

    Print( ScreenFPS() )
    Sync()
loop

-i didnt even have an object loaded and this should crash n burn but doesnt
-i also again tried object 0 and it doesnt crash.

even agk v1 player catches these and stops the program.

edit:
did some more testing....it really just looks like error checking is completely off
i can rotate objects that dont exist
i can change objects positions that dont exist..
still runs fine!
is this going to be fixed aswell? I hope to see loading times fixed first with obj files.

I know that when you try to use an image that doesn't exist, it displays that little red default X placeholder image instead, but continues to run just fine. I'm not sure if I'd call that an error though. It's just very robust in that it plods on regardless.

Maybe it is doing the same for 3D? A zero vertex placeholder object for anything it can't find.

Why would you want to apply an image that doesn't exist to an object that doesn't exist anyway?

well...you wouldnt but sometimes mistakes happen in code where your feeding it variables that have changed somehow not knowing it.

having the error checks in place ...id rather have it crash and burn so i know theres a problem to look for. right now when it keeps on runnen you have no idea it could be hitting tuns of errors and maybe even cause coruption behind the scenes that your not aware of.

i hope they put the checks back in place cause even the original v1 of agk caught these type of errors.

Don't forget to use my MediaScan program. That will catch missing objects and bad names before you get that far.

Check the SetErrorMode() command. By default it ignores things like Object Doesn't Exist error and carries on. Use SetErrorMode(2) to display the error and halt the program.
