AC19 3D request story

Oleg — Wed, 28 Oct 2015 10:08:55 GMT

3D script.

Before AC19, REQUEST ("Story",cs) returned the current story, REQUEST ("Home_story",hs) returned the home story.
Like it described in th GDL Refenence.

Now in AC19 REQUEST ("Story",cs) returns the home story.

Is it a bug ?

Or now, the 3D script can not to get current story and to have story dependent view ?

There were a few big changes in GDL in AC19.
Is it possible that your case is something this document mentions and is handled in AC19 differently?:

I have read this document.
May be I miss something, but basically the changes are about parameter script, not 3D script.

Dear Oleg

In 3D, there are no stories, so there’s no way to determine a Current Story. In the past, this Global worked in the 3D script, but it was unreliable (since there’s no clear definition for Current story in 3D), so We’ve decided to make this unavailable in the 3D script.
To avoid compatibility issues though, we haven’t removed it completely yet, so now it returns a well defined value: the Home Story.

You can find this information on the following webpage as well:
http://gdl.graphisoft.com/gdl-docs/gdl-guide/chapter-12-miscellaneous/request-options/
“…Should be used on floorpan only, as “current story” is not defined in other view types…"
Best, Kata
