scripting help

[lakitu42]

I'm trying to compile a maki script based on the example in the skinning/scripting tips & tricks thread, but it won't compile. Can you tell me how to declare a variable for an animatedlayer and a slider? file attached. Thx

the globals need to be on the outside.#include "..\..\lib\std.mi"

Global Slider my_slider;
Global AnimatedLayer slider_layer;

system.onScriptLoaded() {

my_slider = system.getContainer("Main").getLayout("normal").getObject("volume");
slider_layer = system.getContainer("Main).getLayout("normal").getObject("volume.pic");

}

system.onVolumeChanged(int newvol) {

int frame = ( newvol * ( slider_layer.getLength() - 1 ) ) / 255;
slider_layer.goToFrame(frame);
} would be better

In maki, do ints round themselves automatically or do you just get an error?

[omarello]

i think they do. maki follows C++ and i think C++ does round them off

Yes, they do.

So code like this...
int a=5/2;
... would assign number 2 to variable a. Simple... :)

Yeah, they all round down. Don't forget that you can find the remainder of an integer division, as in C, Java etc., using the '%' operator.
