"Cannot Convert to Integer"

[JediMindTrix]

I have two small blocks of weidu that cause inexplicable (to me) "cannot convert x or %x% to integer".

LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT //protection from spell
INT_VAR
  opcode = 206
  timing = 1
  probability1 = 100
  resource = ABAZDG02
END

LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT INT_VAR //Play 3D Effect
   opcode = 215
   target = 0
   parameter1 = 0
   parameter2 = 1
   timing = 9
   sourceslot = AMYAG_B
  END

I have plenty of nearly identical, completely functional weidu command blocks but these two consistently return the error no matter what I've tried. Removing them eliminates installation errors.

 

Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?

 

EDIT: I am, STR_VAR - for the first block, anyway. Still clueless on the second.

Try:

LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT //protection from spell
  INT_VAR
    opcode = 206
    timing = 1
    probability1 = 100
STR_VAR
    resource = ABAZDG02
END

The how the AMYAG_B needs to be set is the string variable in the second, aka:

 

LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT  //Play 3D Effect
  INT_VAR
    opcode = 215
    target = 0
    parameter1 = 0
    parameter2 = 1
    timing = 9
  STR_VAR
   resource = AMYAG_B
  END

The sourceslot variable you try to use, is actually used to set the effects source, with can be 0 = none, 1 = a spell or 2 = an item. If you don't set the variable like in my above example, it defaults to the 0 which is none, so it's not attached to an item or a spell.

To explain Jarno's correctins, INT_VAR precedes values that take integers; STR_VAR precedes values that takes strings. (I think.)

 

To correct a bit more, I think after STR_VAR, ABAZDG02 and AMYAG_B should be in quotes or tildes ("..." or ~...~)

Thanks everyone!

There are a lot of instances in my .tpa's where resources are named with tilde's or quotations, and produce no errors. I suppose that doesn't mean nothing is breaking but I assumed WeidU would've said something?

I have seen both, it doesn't hurt to add them, but they shouldn't be strictly necessary. You do need the tildes etc if you have a negative value to insert to the variable.

They aren't needed for strings except when the strings contain special characters that would confuse WeiDU's parser.

 

However, I quote all my string values (usually with tildes), for consistency and because it's a habit I learned from other programming languages. It makes it easier to tell strings apart from variables when using code highlighting, too.

for consistency ... It makes it easier to tell strings apart from variables when using code highlighting, too.

Hmm, I wonder how consistent you are with that. AKA can we see you code the above as:

LPF ADD_CRE_EFFECT //protection from spell
  INT_VAR
    ~opcode~ = 206
    ~timing~ = 1
    ~probability1~ = 100
STR_VAR
    ~resource~ = ~ABAZDG02~
END

Ha...

Thanks guys (and merry christmas!)
