Goto feature

[azndragon]

Is there a feature so that if a certain condition is satisfied, it goes to a certain place in the code, like a line number or something?

[Tony]

there is no GoTo in turing to my knowledge, but it is available in Visual Basic.

In turing you can get to a portion of code needed by calling up procedures/functions

or

setting up flags to move through loops.

loop
if flag = true then
exit
end if
...
exit
end loop

By setting flag to be true, you will skip this loop and go straight to the end of it. Exit right before the end makes sure loop doesn't repeat.

i dont know if you saw my other post about goto fuctions but here is a sumery

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT USE GOTO IN YOUR PORGAMES!!!!!!!!!

this uless you know what you are doing or are using it for error checking.

not much good can come from goto.


use a loop of some kind to make your progame repeat or use fuctions/prosgeres

[Tony]

dan, we went over this before... Anything can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing...

loops for example. If you "forget" to put a proper exit statment, you'll get into an infinate loop. Just like you can GoTo wrong spot... Same chances actually.

i know but i relay relay relay have isuses ageasted goto, it is relay just my opiean. but i also think that it makes you look like a poor porgamer if you uses it too much in a progame, it just is not neacery.

well w/e. i just hope it is not in turing

Well, I'm only using it because it takes quite a while to test my program, and it's kinda annoying going through the same processes over and over again

[Tony]

why not just comment it out then?

highlight what you don't want, then go to Edit -> Comment (i think)

Okay, another problem, when I try to retrieve the data using the get statement, most of it loads, except one is saying "Invalid integer input". I checked it out, and it turns out that the value that it's trying to load is a 0. Will that cause any problems with my loading, or is there something wrong with my code?

EDIT: Okay, it's not something wrong with my code, because I cut out the code that loads the variable with 0's stored as them, and it works fine. Now all I need to know is how to get Turing to load all the variables, even if they are zeros.

Also, one more thing, I want the user to enter a normal number in certain parts of the game. Is there a code or something that converts all decimal numbers to integers so that the program doesn't crash when a real number is inputted where an integer should be?

[Tony]

is it 0(Zero) or NULL ? cuz they are different.

Though I donno, maybe its the way you read it or something. 0 is an integer

Yes, there're 3 ways you can change real to integer.

round()
ceil()
floor()


all 3 round the real value and return integer. Ceil always rounds up and floor always rounds down.

also intreal() converts integer back to real

[azndragon]

In the file that is saved when the program is run, the display is just a 0.

[Tony]

maybe there're some hidden characters? though its unlikely...

you can always take input as string and convert it to w/e you want after.

If I sent you my source, do you think you could help me with my get statements? It's too long to post here

[Tony]

krishon, don't push things...

Please make sure you know who you're sending your source code to if it has any value to you

Just post your GET part here.

[azndragon]

code:

procedure loadgame open: stremin, "turing",get get:stremin, character_name get:stremin, character_gender get:stremin, character_class get:stremin, character_status get:stremin, character_charisma get:stremin, character_luck get:stremin, character_dexterity get:stremin, character_intelligence get:stremin, character_vitality get:stremin, character_agility get:stremin, character_strength get:stremin, character_currenthp get:stremin, character_currentmp get:stremin, character_maxhp get:stremin, character_maxmp close:stremin end loadgame

That's the basic format of my get statement, there's more, but it's in the same format, so I'm not going to post it
