Trouble with Line_SetBlocking

[wereabbit]

Hello,
I have a trouble with these scripts :
The first block the line

Code: Select all

script 81 OPEN
{

 Line_SetBlocking (26, ON, BLOCKF_PLAYERS );

}

... and the second is supposed to unblock the line

Code: Select all

Script 90 (void)
{
	SetLineTexture (26, SIDE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "-");
        Line_SetBlocking (26, OFF, BLOCKF_PLAYERS );
}

The first script works fine, sadely, the second script unblocked nothing (but he removed the texture ^^) .

So, what i have made wrong these scripts ?

Arguments in Line_SetBlocking work differently.
To set a blocking flag you need to specify which one in the second argument, like so: Line_SetBlocking (26, BLOCKF_PLAYERS , 0);
While if you want to clear it, you need to specify it in the third argument: Line_SetBlocking (26, 0, BLOCKF_PLAYERS );

Putting "OFF" instead of 0 seems to make it not work, but I am quite confused on why the first one works.
Talking about the first one, you don't even need it as you can set lines to block players in the map editor:

Just to clarify, nothing is set and set off with words 'on' and 'off'. In IT, generally, when something is 'on', it is marked with 'true' or '1', but never 'on'. When something is 'off', it's 'false' or '0'.

Thanks. Works fine now

Thanks for the clarifications

This is not the case for ACS. ACS doesn't have a real boolean type, TRUE and FALSE are just defines. And zdefs.acs (included by zcommon.acs) happens to also have defines for ON/OFF and YES/NO that mean the same thing as TRUE/FALSE.
