GDL Question

Vitruvius — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:36:45 GMT

I've just upgraded to AC 9 and have a door symbol I've been using for years without problem - in fact it still works just fine. But, when I open it to edit the GDL code and ask AC to "check script" I get the following error message:

' USE OF REAL TYPES CAN RESULT IN PRECISION PROBLEMS........ '

Which highlights the following code

IF WIDO_ORIG_DIST <> 0 THEN LET WindowRadius = etc., etc.

IF WIDO_ORIG_DIST = 0 THEN LET WindowRadius = 0

Any thoughts on this?

Cheers, Cameron

Search "use of real types" and you'll find a thread that discusses this at length.

Many thanks for the tip, Karl!

Problem 'solved' with an INT(WIDO_ORIG_DIST) = 0

Probably not elegant and rife with error. And probably not the correct solution. Epsilon is Greek for SNAFU. But there ya go.

Man, is this an arcane sport or what?
