How exactly does a local variable gets increased?

[botje]

i have a waypoint thats basicly a round of harvesting.

i want to do this 3 times, then move away to dump.

so i do know i use Local Counter

but how do i increase the Counter variable after a round? is it as in other languages?

so counter = counter +1?

any help is apriciated ^^

I have done it like this:

Code: Select all

player.free_counter1 = player.free_counter1 + 1;

I am not sure if its possible to do shorter way:

Code: Select all

player.free_counter1 =+ 1;

or is is +=? I never remember. =+ would be more logical tho.

I never heard of that being available in lua.

Just tried both. Neither works.

We'll just have to do it the long way.

The += operator is not available in Lua. =+ would not be more logical because it would be a parsing nightmare. You could not differentiate when it means to increment and when to assign. For example:

Code: Select all

var=+1

Should var be var + 1, or should it be assigned to +1?

Code: Select all

<onLoad>
		player.free_counter1 = 0;
		
		function Return()
			printf("Counter:  "..player.free_counter1.."\n");
			if player.free_counter1 > 2 then
				printf("Done our rounds, loading new waypoints..."\n");
				loadPaths("DragonFang/FromDragonFang");
			else
				player.free_counter1 = player.free_counter1 +1;
			end
		end
		
		settings.profile.options.WAYPOINT_DEVIATION = 50;
	</onLoad>

says it cant parse it, wtf am i doing wrong then?

Code: Select all

printf("Done our rounds, loading new waypoints..."\n");

Maybe that line?
