I keep getting this warning, which I believe is causing my script to not work. Could
somebody explain what the issue may be?
(I get about 30 different instances of it; the problem seems to have something to do with
local variable-passing)

WARNING: in line 740 of script countreserves in querybattles.hss
if(herobyslot(6) >= 1) then(count == count + 1)
built-in function equal is returning a value that isnt being discarded.

'count' is a local variable.[/code]

Wait, nevermind, I was using the wrong "=" command. I always get that wrong. >_>

I don't see why you don't use "increment(count)" instead.

Potato, potato.
This is the way I do it in C, and it works just as well.

Dear Sephy,

VERBOSE COMMANDS ARE N00BBB!!

Sincerely,
Super Rare

Thank you ZB, I've learnt more from your post than the rest of the Board put together.

The proper way to do that in C would be count++; not count = count+1;

A. Whoops, I meant C++. And it works perfectly well in that...
B. Verbose commands are still for noobies!

Actually, that applys to both Cs- in fact, that's where C++'s name comes from...C increased one step. The main reasoning I'd assume is it's faster to type, and probably slightly faster to call (with the =, it has to look up the variable twice, although don't quote me on that part).

it's all good... i suppose.
i myself don't like verbose either, but i've got nothing against it.

In no case is "increment(var, 1)" faster to type than "var++;". The first is longer in length by a significant amount, and has two keystrokes on the number row. The second also has two keystrokes on the number row, but they are the same key. If you're using the numpad to type "+", you're doing it wrong.

Kidding aside though, some people understand the code better if it's verbose, and that's a good enough argument for me.

it actually can be written as "increment(var)"
as it is default to add one, if the arguement is left out.

probably one reason people use verbose is for the understanding.
