UI_INFIELD Problems

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:08:51 GMT

I have an annoying problem that I can't solve, hopefully someone else can. In this UI script:

UI_DIALOG "Fire Exit Signs",444,266

UI_PAGE 1

UI_INFIELD "sign_ty" !parameter name
0,0 !x,y position
419,250 !width, height
1 !versionFlag
fire_exits.tif !pictName
9 !nrImages
3 !nrRows
140, 90 !cellX, cellY
133, 83 !imageX, imageY
1,`North`,
2,`South`,
3,`East`,
4,`West`,
5,`North West`,
6,`South West`,
7,`North East`,
8,`South East`,
9,'No Arrow'

I'm getting an error at line 5 (the bold one) that there are missing parameters. But there shouldn't be. The parameter name is exactly the same as in the Parameters window, 2D script and parameters script, where it works. What's even more confusing is I've basically just copied this script from another one I did earlier, which works?

I'm sure I'm missing something very basic...

What happens if you remove all those comments from the command? I wonder if they are the source of the problem.

You may insert comments in multi-line commands, but you have to keep the syntax:

UI_INFIELD "sign_ty", !parameter name
0,0, !x,y position
419,250, !width, height
1, !versionFlag
"fire_exits.tif", !pictName
9, !nrImages
3, !nrRows
140, 90, !cellX, cellY
133, 83, !imageX, imageY
1,`North`,
2,`South`,
3,`East`,
4,`West`,
5,`North West`,
6,`South West`,
7,`North East`,
8,`South East`,
9,'No Arrow'

This should work.
