having troubles with anonymous functions in zscript

[Zen3001]

My first attempt at zscript.
I allready posted this code in my previous thread but here I am again

Code: Select all

Class Randomname : Doomimp{
	Default{
		//$Category Monsters
		Speed 11;
		+PUSHABLE
	}
	States{
		Spawn:
			TNT1 A 1{
				A_PrintBold("this should appear if the code works"); //It doesn't appear anywhere
				if (args[0] == 0){
					A_Jump(256, "Stand");
				}else{
					A_Jump(256, "Walk");
				}
			}
		Walk:
			TNT1 A 0 A_Look();
			TROO AABBCCDD 3 A_Wander();
			Loop;
		Stand:
			TROO AB 1 A_Look();
			Loop;
	}
}

The anonymous function doesn't seems to be working it just skips to walk without any errors.

See [wiki=Actor_states#NoDelay]NoDelay[/wiki].

that helped kind of, the print function is now working so it's going trough the anonymous function but it doesn't jump to the stand state even tho all arguements are 0

Do this:

Code: Select all

return A_Jump(...);

See [wiki=Actor states#Return]this[/wiki] for reference.

Edit: Since the use of a return statement is required, make sure to cover all possible paths. This means if you have something like this:

Code: Select all

TNT1 A 0
{
    if (blah > 0)
    {
        return A_Jump(...);
    }
    else
    {
        return A_Jump(...);
    }
}

You'll get an error, unless you put a return statement at the end (the engine considers it as a possible path the function could go through still):

Code: Select all

TNT1 A 0
{
    if (blah > 0)
    {
        return A_Jump(...);
    }
    else
    {
        return A_Jump(...);
    }

    return null; // If this produces an error, change it to: return ResolveState(null);
}

yeah everything seems to be working now, thanks for helping.

I find it easier to just use

Code: Select all

...
setstatelabel(...);
return;
...

and not to worry about the paths except to make sure nothing is being executed that shouldn't be.
