User Information:

---------
im checking the cinema r10 scripting capabilities and
i seem to be stupid but the simplest examples dont work!
i m talking about function definitions, and the main function

  
main ()  
{  
println("hello");  
}

ends with "FAIL, Too , many parameters" ...

  
test_func (str)  
{  
println (str);  
}  
  
main ()  
{  
test_func ("test")  
}

ends with "FAIL, Variable or function expected" ...

??? i dont get why this does not work...
there is no R10 coffee SDK yet,
but is it possible that these basic things have changed?
help !

The main function needs 2 parameters, doc and op.

Here the corrected code:

  
main (doc,op)  
{  
println("hello");  
}  
  
/*--------------*/  
  
test_func (str)  
{  
println (str);  
}  
  
main (doc,op)  
{  
test_func ("test");  
}

cheers,
Matthias

thanks for the help! but it does NOT work ! both scripts just fail !

for dummies as me to be sure :

1. i open the console
2. i open the script manager
3. i select new (script)
4. i paste the script into the script manager

<CODE>test_func (str)
{
println (str);
}

main (doc,op)
{
test_func ("test");
}</CODE>

5. i press execute
6. i look at console window
7. there it says "[FAIL] Script 'test' Line 1 Pos 12 : Variable or function expected"

this is about cinema R10, maybe because it's the demo version?

Sorry, made a little mistake, you have of course to remove the spaces in the functions so for instance you write main(doc,op) instead of main (doc,op).

hey, that worked ! THANKS!

one LAST QUESTION...

about main(doc,op) :
what is "doc" ? the active document? and what is op?

yes, "doc" is the active document and "op" is the selected object. it originally comes from where there were only COFFEE tags and not scripts. these tags were attached to an object and thus had always a guaranteed document and object. with scripts you have to check if the op parameter is true.
