Calling a function as a script command

[maqc1 8]

Hi folks! According to the wiki, it is possible to call a function as a script command :

Calling Function as a Script Command
prontera,150,150,5<TAB>script<TAB>Calculator<TAB>999,{ mes Add(1,2); function<TAB>Add<TAB>{ return (getarg(0)+getarg(1)); } }

prontera,150,150,5<TAB>script<TAB>Calculator<TAB>999,{
    mes Add(1,2);

    function<TAB>Add<TAB>{
        return (getarg(0)+getarg(1));
    }
}

 

 

However, I am unable to reproduce the example. The console throws me a parse_line error :

 

[Error]: script error in file 'npc/test/test.txt' line 91 column 12 parse_line: need ';' 90: { * 91: mes Add(1,2); ~~~~~~~~~~~^ 92: 93: function Add { 94: return (getarg(0)+getarg(1));

[Error]: script error in file 'npc/test/test.txt' line 91 column 12
    parse_line: need ';'
    90: {
*   91:     mes Add(1,2);
        ~~~~~~~~~~~^
    92: 
    93:     function    Add     {
    94:         return (getarg(0)+getarg(1));

 

Is there any way to make this work? Or is it an error on the wiki?

 

Thanks in advance!

prontera,155,175,5 script Sample#npc 4_F_KAFRA9,{ function add { return getarg(0,0) + getarg( 1,0); } mes "You get "+ add( 1,2 ); close; }

prontera,155,175,5	script	Sample#npc	4_F_KAFRA9,{
	function	add	{
		return getarg(0,0) + getarg( 1,0);
	}
	
	mes "You get "+ add( 1,2 );
	close;
}

hmm, the forum seem like having some bug showing the tab indent ??

Nope, still the same error. It looks like this feature isn't implemented yet... Is anyone able to reproduce the wiki's example?

Iirc if you put tabs inside function declaration it'd try to read it as an NPC declaration, so just space them out and try. I use functions that way for a while, makes it easier to change and maintain.

Thanks Emistry, got it to work. The function needs to be declared ABOVE the function call. It was that simple!

 

Gotta get to work now

 

 

EDIT : I just modified the wiki according to that rule.
