Function Applied to non-Function?

[Dakta]

I've been working on a bit of code that will check if a variable is larger or smaller than two other variables, and if it is, to incrementally change it back to within the constraints set by the two variables.

Code: Select all

//this goes in the spring length
{scene.my.mainArm}

//current/start length
scene.my.mainArm = 3.0

//min/max values
scene.my.mainArmMax = 4.5
scene.my.mainArmMin = 2.5

//checker
scene.my.checkMainArm = (scene.my.mainArmCheck)=>{scene.my.mainArm <= scene.my.mainArmMin ? {scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm + 0.01} : {scene.my.mainArm >= scene.my.mainArmMin ? {scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm - 0.01}}}

//oncollide functions

//called every few m/s by a rotating box
(e)=>{scene.my.checkMainArm}

//called when you press [9]
(e)=>{scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm + 0.01}

//called when you press [6]
(e)=>{scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm - 0.01}


This should allow the user to modify the length (scene.my.mainArm), and once it is past the max/min, will adjust it back to within the constraints. It doesn't. Here's the error message.

Code: Select all

-- Warning: Exception Thrown: Function call applied to a non-Function: scene.my.mainArmMin(?)

Can anyone explain this? Or will I have to make the min and max lengths fixed in code?

Your script is fine. Don't use scene.my.mainArmCheck as the parameter. Use a variable such as N instead. Replace all scene.my.mainArmCheck's with N

[Dakta]

Ah, so I can't apply a function to a scene.my variable? Bizarre. Definitely something that needs fixing.

[KarateBrot]

you can't make it dependent from a variable that's already reserved by a value.

for example:

scene.my.var = 5
scene.my.function = (scene.my.var) => {blah}

that's like:
scene.my.function = (5) => {blah}

and that's no function because 5 is no variable but a constant. So just choose a variable that's not in use. you don't need scene.my.*. just anything you want, like "N" like standardtoaster said or "I_love_variables" etc.

but you don't need a variable for your function because it's not dependent from it. so you can also type in this:

Code: Select all

//checker
scene.my.checkMainArm = {scene.my.mainArm <= scene.my.mainArmMin ? {scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm + 0.01} : {scene.my.mainArm >= scene.my.mainArmMin ? {scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm - 0.01}}}


[Dakta]

Well, it still doesn't work. Is there any reason this might be?

For reference, here's the .phn

It's relatively near to the top.

now look at the second line of the code i posted. it says:

scene.my.mainArmMin(?)({scene.my.mainArm =

The red part is the mistake. sometimes this happens if you forget a bracket or you don't type in if statements correctly (that's what you did). if statements need to be typed in completely:

scene.my.blabla == 2 ? {do this} : { otherwise do this!!! }

Open the console and copy this corrected code in.

Scene.my.checkMainArm := {scene.my.mainArm <= scene.my.mainArmMin ? {scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm + 0.01} : {scene.my.mainArm >= scene.my.mainArmMin ? {scene.my.mainArm = scene.my.mainArm - 0.01} : {} }};


does it work now?

Nope... But it's not your fault. I think it's like the e.angvel problem. You can't read it directly from an object, or even send it from the object directly. In this case, I think it's that we can't reference scene.my.mainArmMin and scene.my.mainArmMax as variables to check against for some reason or another.

Here's the entire scene file as it stands now. The spring length can be adjusted with the 9 and 6 numpad keys, but when you go past the max (4.5) or below the in (2.5), nothing happens.

Open it up with Algodoo and see how it works out for you. Maybe the solution will be more obvious if you're looking at the whole picture, not just a few metaphorical pixels.

I found the problem with your scene. You haven't declared scene.my.mainArmMin!

[Dakta]

I didn't? Really? You're kidding right? ...(checks the file... bangs his head into the table upsetting the coffee and spilling it all over his keyboard which is now sticky and totally ruined) Awe snap... you're right! Man, thanks a billion! You just saved my day!

Now, time to test this thing out...
