New developer features.

It is. I tried yesterday with filewrites (because the luadebug still not works). The file is risen by 5 kbyte/sec without touching any control key...
For rw2 i don't know i tried first with rw3.

That's tentative good news; the other issue I had in RW2 was it wasn't getting called when the control settled on it's final value...

[crazyfrogbro]

Yesterday i tried again, don't know why but it's called now only when i changed the control values. But doesn't helps much, the update still need to be run and check the player variable, what have been set now in on OnControlValueChange(). Maybe i will put beginupdate there, so it isn't activated if the loco controlled by ai. But for free roam and jump in out locos it wont get disabled after it got enabled by a player.

I've found a new "feature"

Code: Select all

Call( "GetIsPlayer" )
Call( "GetIsEngineWithKey" )

both of these lua script commands always returns 0 if i write out them. But always return true if it put into and if like this: if Call( "GetIsPlayer" ) then
Of course that it's player controlled or not, doesn't matters
It's a bug not feature?

All Call functions will return 1 for true and 0 for false. Unfortunately, 0 does not mean true in LUA. You need to write Call( "GetIsPlayer" ) == 1

I beg to differ, Sir. Anything else than "nil" or a false statement (including "false" itself of course) equates to "true" in a conditional statement (see note), including numbers and strings. I guess you were meaning "unfortunately, 0 does not mean false". This does not change your conclusion by the way.

Note: if 0 then print("a") else print("b") end returns "a", yet if 0==true then print("a") else print("b") end returns "b"...

Yes, that's what I meant and saw my mistake after I posted. Since I haven't posted enough with this account, I have to wait for a moderator to review it, so I couldn't go back and edit it Should have just stuck with my old account
