The Dink Network

Hmmm, I tried that example of code and maybe something has changed between Dink 1.08 and DinkHD, as if I assign that code to a key script, I get Dink saying

&x, &y

then

4, 6

rather than the "4, 8" and then "2, 6" mentioned

========================

This was what Redink1 posted about 1.08 and scope

* Variables are now dynamicly scoped.

It basically allows you to reference local variables defined in previous functions, so you wouldn't have to resort to global variables like &save_x and &save_y (most of the time).

You can do something like this:

void main(void)
{
int &x = 4;
int &y = 6;
bob();
say_stop("&x, &y", 1);
}

void bob()
{
int &y = 8;
function();
}

void function(void)
{
say_stop("&x, &y", 1);
&x / 2;
}

This would result in Dink saying "4, 8" and then "2, 6".
