[7.46] Weird variable/logica... (Never mind again) #258626 04/08/16 08:26 PM

The script below should go back and forth between unset and inc, but every second time you run the script, it repeats "unset" twice. Tested it on mIRC 7.43-7.46 and even asked a friend to try it, who got the same result. A few things I tried: "var %x = 15,%o 1" OR "var %x = 15,%o = 1" "var %x = 15,%o $true" OR ""var %x = 15,%o = $true" Result seems to vary. Sometimes it gets stuck and gives you unset twice, and sometimes it works like it should. It seems to change the state when you switch do one or more runs with "1" or "$false". "var %x = 15,%o" OR ""var %x = 15,%o 0" OR "var %x = 15,%o = 0" OR "var %x = 15,%o $false" OR "var %x = 15,%o = $false" Gives you unset twice in a row every other run. "unset %o" at the start Works like it should every single time. "unset %o" twice in the loop Works like it should every single time. Code: alias unsetinctest { var %x = 15,%o echo -at * $str(-,10) while (%x) { if (%o) { unset %o echo -at * unset } else { %o = 1 echo -at * inc } dec %x } } Last edited by Dazuz; 04/08/16 09:21 PM.

As in: Code: var %x = 1 while (%x <= 10) { inc %x } It keeps the value like it should. There's a chance I'm too tired, but what's the distinction? As far as I know, you can pretty much mix global and local variables as you like, but in this case it just doesn't work. EDIT: to rephrase that: if you can use inc, why not unset too?

But /inc or /dec are unrelated to local/global variable state (although just like /set, they will create a global variable if the variable does not exist). You (in theory) can't have a local variable and a global variable at the same time, more importantly, if you thought /set was meant for global variable, well, that's wrong as well! Code: //var -s %a 1 \| set -s %a 2 \| echo -sg %a -- $var(%a,1).local \| unset %a Quote: * Set %a to 1 * Set %a to 2 2 -- $true ---- Code: //set -s %a 1 \| var -s %a 2 \| echo -sg %a -- $var(%a,1).local \| unset %a Quote: * Set %a to 1 * Set %a to 2 2 -- $true As you can see, /var defines a local variable, but after that, you can use /set to change the value of that local variable, /set really just set the variable, and only if the variable doesn't exist as a local variable, /set takes the liberty to create a global variable. The syntax "%var = " is simple an equivalency of /set, this can be observed using the following: Code: //echo -sg $(%a = 1) Note that you have an undocumented -l switch for /set, which changes the state to a local variable (or just set a local variable if the variable doesn't exist, of course): Code: //set -s %a 1 \| set -ls %a 2 \| echo -sg %a -- $var(%a,1).local Quote: * Set %a to 1 * Set %a to 2 2 -- $true #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

Since in theory you can't have same global and local variable at the same time, shouldn't the first var line in the script overwrite any existing global and local variable?
