Assigning a bitmap to MaterialTexture.Bitmap from an array

Post by rrTea »

Pressing 1 works, but 2 and 3 do not. What am I missing?

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" FileVersion="2">
  <OnLoaded>
    <ZLibrary Comment="Bitmaps">
      <Source>
<![CDATA[Bitmap[4] arr_OverworldLocations;

arr_OverworldLocations[1] = bmp_OverLoc01;
arr_OverworldLocations[2] = bmp_OverLoc02;
arr_OverworldLocations[3] = bmp_OverLoc03;]]>
      </Source>
    </ZLibrary>
  </OnLoaded>
  <OnUpdate>
    <KeyPress Comment="1" Keys="1" RepeatDelay="0.2">
      <OnPressed>
        <ZExpression Expression="matTex_Material1.Texture = bmp_OverLoc01; //arr_OverworldLocations[1];"/>
      </OnPressed>
    </KeyPress>
    <KeyPress Comment="2" Keys="2" RepeatDelay="0.2">
      <OnPressed>
        <ZExpression Expression="matTex_Material1.Texture = arr_OverworldLocations[2];"/>
      </OnPressed>
    </KeyPress>
    <KeyPress Comment="3" Keys="3" RepeatDelay="0.2">
      <OnPressed>
        <ZExpression Expression="matTex_Material1.Texture = arr_OverworldLocations[3];"/>
      </OnPressed>
    </KeyPress>
  </OnUpdate>
  <OnRender>
    <UseMaterial Material="Material1"/>
    <RenderNet>
      <RenderVertexExpression>
<![CDATA[//Update each vertex.
//Vertex : current vertex
//TexCoord : current texture coordinate
//Color : current vertex color

Vertex *= 2;]]>
      </RenderVertexExpression>
    </RenderNet>
  </OnRender>
  <Content>
    <Material Name="Material1">
      <Textures>
        <MaterialTexture Name="matTex_Material1" Texture="bmp_OverLoc01" TextureWrapMode="2" TexCoords="1"/>
      </Textures>
    </Material>
    <Bitmap Name="bmp_OverLoc01" Width="128" Height="128" Filter="1">
      <Producers>
        <BitmapCells UsedMetrics="4" RandomSeed="48"/>
      </Producers>
    </Bitmap>
    <Bitmap Name="bmp_OverLoc02" Width="128" Height="128" Filter="1">
      <Producers>
        <BitmapCells UsedMetrics="4"/>
      </Producers>
    </Bitmap>
    <Bitmap Name="bmp_OverLoc03" Width="128" Height="128" Filter="1">
      <Producers>
        <BitmapCells UsedMetrics="4" RandomSeed="37"/>
      </Producers>
    </Bitmap>
  </Content>
</ZApplication>

Hi rrTea,

You can't initialize a array like that from a ZLibrary. Copy the "arr_OverworldLocations[X] = bmp_OverLoc0X;" lines to a ZExpression in OnLoaded and it will work.

Ah, yes that shouldn't compile :). A ZLibrary can only hold function, variable, and constant declarations. Not actual code. So keep the array declaration in the ZLibrary and move the code into ZExpression instead like Kjell suggests.

Ouch yeah... right, thanks, how did I manage to paste it there (ZExpression and ZLibrary really look too similar!) - what a stupid mistake on my part :D

Here's one other thing that looks to me like it shouldn't compile:

Code: Select all

if (BattleOrigin == 0)
{
BattleChain++;
CurrentRoom = arr_BattlesList[BattleChain];
CurrentLevel = AreaCurrent;
StateSwitch.State = state_Battle;} //note there's an extra curly bracket in this line
}

else
{
StateSwitch.State = state_SelectGame;
}

Shouldn't compile?

Here is another thing that I think shouldn't compile after being pasted in a fresh project, this one has a typo and a misnamed property but when compiling it nothing is reported:

Code: Select all

ZZDC<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<ZExpression>
  <Expression>
<![CDATA[vec3[2] ColTable;?
ColTable[0] = vector3(255f/255, 128f/255, 0); //orange
ColTable[1] = vector3(1, 1, 1); //white

int T, T1, T2;
T = round(frac(Prg.Time));
T1 = 0+T;
T2 = 1-T;

trace (
"Current: " + intToStr(T1) + ", " + intToStr(T1)
);

//setCol_pointer1.Color = ColTable[T1];
//setCol_pointer2.Color = ColTable[T2];]]>
  </Expression>
</ZExpression>
This was copied from a project whose name is "Prg" (as opposed to the default "App"), so in a fresh project (that uses "App") "Prg.Time" should trigger a warning?...
Another thing is, even if you fix it to "App.Time" (or rename the project to "Prg"), nothing will be traced in the console.

The typo is in the first line:

Code: Select all

vec3[2] ColTable;?
there's a question mark at the end... this doesn't get reported when compiling.

Obviously these mistakes are on my end, but this should trigger an error report I think?

Indeed it seems that the incorrect "?" makes the parser ignore everything afterwards. That should be fixed.
