Consistent eroor in my autoscripted object

[Mats_Knutsson]

I'm trying to make a simple lamp and gets an error message in the 3D view all the time. The code that's the problem is (in about 8 places):

result_113 = sweepgroup{2} ("group_112", -0.001732050807569, 0.001, 0)

What's the deal?

Also the white colour looks darker on the vertical surfaces...everything that's not glass in the image is white.

See attached image fo what I'm trying to make.

Hello Mats,
It looks like the auto-script mechanism has shot itself in the foot.
It's interesting that the "sweepgroup{2}" command is not
mentioned in the AC 10 GDL reference manual.
You might try saving the project that contain the elements
you are trying to auto-script into AC 9 format, opening the
project in AC 9, and trying the auto-script in that version ?

What's the exact error message?

Can you post the code passage?

Try this:

result_113 = sweepgroup ("group_112", -0.001732050807569, 0.001, 0)

The first version of the command has the same syntax. Maybe this works. Probably the difference is internal as RULED and RULED{2}.

Hi Frank,
I'm too lousy at GDL to understand whats happening.

Every line of code with the string above (result_XXXX....) gives an error message as attached.
The object is pretty simple!? A profiler object, some walls with empty window openings and some additional walls.
I tried to delete the {} but with no success.
I will try Peters advice tomorrow.
Thanks for helping me!

Worked of course in AC9...ahhhhhrg...
Thanks for the tip of doing it in v9!

Have you compared both scripts? v10 <> v9? Whats the difference? Works the v9 scripted version in AC10?

I don't have the time to look deeper into this. I will do the stuff in AC9 in the future. I spent several hours of dearly precious night time to fix this...so right now I don't want to GDL anything more...until Nottingham next week....😉

I have sen some problems in group operations in 10 that were not present in 9. This might be related.

See you next week in Nottingham, Mats.

Hello Mats,
I had made an assumption that once the object was successfully
auto-scripted in AC 9 it would work in AC 10.
I understand that you don't want to compare the two scripts
but could you answer Frank's other question.
Does the AC 9 auto-scripted object work in AC 10.
Thank you,
Peter Devlin

OKi, the AC9 autoscripted object works in AC10...
