Hi everyone,

this is driving me nuts! I have LiteC script working to click on entites, but I cannot change the mouse_range variable anywhere! If I use:

mouse_range = 180;

I get a compile Syntax error : "Cant convert GETPVALUE:FIXED::."

however if I use:

var mouse_range = 180;

The code compiles correctly, but the range doesnt change from the default 2000.

Anyone know what Im doing wrong?

Hi!

Run this code and press space. It works for me (latest A8).
If this doesn't work for you, I highly recommend you to start using A8 (at least free version) for multiple reasons. First of all, it's the latest version of Acknex. Secondly, forum is almost dead and users left here (most of them) a using latest version (I assume).

Best regards!

that doesnt work, gives me the same error. mouse_map, mouse_mode, both work, except mouse_range

Does A7 lite-C code work with A8? Or are there alot of syntax changes too?

No, it doesn't have huge differences, but some stuff might not work and will require some adjustments. F.e. one of my older projects made with A7 didn't work, cause it wasn't written correctly But anyway, I highly recommend you to update to A8, cause your projects will be more stable.

Best regards.

, bug in A7 or perhaps in your A7 version? Are you sure you set the mouse_range value low enough when testing?

, I think you meant to say, undead

lol

What kind of things did you need to rework to get it working in A8, @3run? Just curious.

Reconnoiter, I am using A7 Professional, 7.8. I think thats the latest A7 version.

, according to the manual's Obsolete Keywords not so much, but I dont know how correct the manual is with that. That being said, if you have any syntax bugs in A8, we can help you (undead or not we are here to help ).

To be honest, I can't remember anything to specify, I changed to A8 years ago.

Greets.

I guess I need a few pointers from you guys, as to what I should do. So here's my concerns:

I consider myself a character artist, so I made the move from A6 to A7, mainly because I enjoyed using C-Script, as well as having bone weights on 3d models. Single bone influence makes all models look terrible. So making the move to A7 was helpful in this regard.

I am currently creating a base level in A7, with all the default scripts that I want for future games, mainly pathfinding and ent_animate code. I am porting old code that I have from A6 into A7. Until I ran into this mouse_range quirk.

Should I try to port the code fully into A7, then make the jump to A8 and port the code from A7 to A8? Or should I stop porting it now to A7 and just buy the upgrade to A8 and work on it there?
